Welcome to Writing with Machines (Beta)

Feb 17, 2026 11:01 am

You're in.


Thanks for signing up early and for your patience while I finalized the course platform and community space.


You're part of the first cohort working through systematic AI integration frameworks—the approaches content professionals need when reliability matters more than convenience.


Here's How to Access Everything

➡️ Click here to join the course. You'll create an account with iSophist academy if you don't already have one. Use the same email address this message was sent to.


➡️ After that, you should be able to join the community here. I would like this to be a space where we can explore together, especially as more people join the course.


(If you have any trouble with these links, just shoot me an email. This is the first time trying it this way.)


The course is structured as 10 chapters you can work through at your own pace. Budget 8-12 hours total. You'll build practical artifacts (prompt frameworks, content taxonomies, knowledge maps) that you can use immediately in your work.


What Beta Means

You're getting complimentary access in exchange for feedback. As you work through each chapter, I want to know:


  • What's clear?
  • What's confusing?
  • What examples would help?
  • Where do you need more guidance?
  • Where do you need less?


Use the community to ask questions, share what you're testing, and discuss challenges with other participants. I'll be active there and will respond to questions as they come up.


This is a working version. Some sections are more polished than others. Some exercises will need refinement. Your experience helps shape the final course, which means you're not just learning the frameworks—you're helping develop them.


Getting Started

Chapter 1 introduces the machine rhetorics framework and walks through why systematic approaches matter. Start there. Each chapter builds on previous ones, so work sequentially rather than jumping around.


Create a project folder or document where you'll develop your artifacts as you progress. The frameworks work best when you apply them to actual professional contexts, not hypothetical scenarios.


If you hit friction points, share them in the community. If something works particularly well, share that too. The most useful feedback comes from specific examples, not general impressions.


Timeline

Work at your pace. Some people will finish in a week, others will take a month. There's no deadline. When you've completed the course (or decided you've gotten what you need from it), I'll follow up for structured feedback.


Questions? Post them in the community or reply to this email.


Let's get to work.
