AI LATELY PRO
Nothing important happens in AI without you knowing first.
A weekly intelligence brief that translates AI’s constant movement into business decisions you can actually make. So you’re the person in every room who already knew.
The gap Pro closes
From catching up to getting ahead
You find out about AI developments from a colleague's Slack message, two days after it happened.
You're the one who told them — last week, when it was still useful to know.
You're asked for your take on a new model and you're cobbling together context from three browser tabs.
You already have a position, because the brief walked you through it on Monday.
You track AI 'when you have time,' which means you track it badly.
Thirty minutes a week, and it's done. One brief, three actions, move on.
What Pro delivers
Four things, delivered reliably
Every Monday
The Pro Brief
A tight weekly briefing: what changed in AI that week, which companies and roles it affects, and three things worth acting on before Friday. Written by the editor, not generated. No padding, no roundup of things you already saw.
Always-on
The Drop Pipeline
See what's coming before it's announced. AI Lately scouts company blogs, release channels, and YouTube daily and surfaces what's rumored and dated. Pro members see the full pipeline — not just what launched.
Monthly
Member Clinics
One live session a month. Bring a real decision — a tool you're evaluating, a workflow you're trying to build, a team you're trying to convince. The editor works through it with you. Recordings included.
Growing library
Decision Worksheets
Structured guides for the decisions that keep coming up: evaluating a new model, briefing a leadership team on an AI shift, building an AI-informed job description. Practical, specific, field-tested.
What it looks like
A sample from the brief
What changed
Three model updates landed this week. Only one changes the economics meaningfully: OpenAI’s o3 price cut (−40%) makes long-context reasoning tasks that were cost-prohibitive in Q3 now viable to run at scale. The other two are capability bumps that matter for coding workflows but don’t shift the vendor stack.
Who it affects
If your team does document review, contract analysis, or customer research at any volume, the price floor just dropped enough to revisit pilots you shelved. Finance, legal ops, and research-heavy marketing teams should take a second look at what they priced out in Q2.
Three actions before Friday
- Pull the three largest long-context tasks your team runs. Reprice them against the new o3 rate.
- If you shelved a document review pilot in Q2 on cost, schedule a 30-minute revisit before end of month.
- Check whether your AI vendor contracts include a price-match clause — some do and most teams don’t know.
