Your AI content sucks.
Your competitors' AI content sucks.
Everyone's AI content sucks.

And you know what's worse? You're all paying through the nose for it.

While you're sitting there wrestling with prompts like a cat trying to open a doorknob, we've built something that actually works. Because unlike every other "revolutionary AI tool" (looking at you, [REDACTED]), we know it takes more than 10 prompts and a prayer to write content that doesn't sound like it was outsourced to a drunk toddler.

We use 450+ prompts. Overkill? Maybe. But at least our stuff doesn't read like it was written by an AI having an existential crisis.

Some receipts for the skeptics:
↳ Slapped 400 blogs on our site = 10x traffic in 3 months
↳ Halved content budgets while 5x-ing output (yeah, your Content Manager's been lying about costs)
↳ Helped tiny startups pimp-slap Fortune 500s right off page 1

After a decade watching the B2B content circus, I've seen every "game-changing" tool and "revolutionary" AI writer. Most of them belong in the same trash bin as your last strategic plan.

Here's the uncomfortable truth: Your investors aren't buying your "we're playing the long game" BS anymore. They want to see organic traction, and your three LinkedIn posts from 2023 aren't cutting it.

You need Penfriend.ai if:
✓ Your competitors are living rent-free at the top of Google while you're still "building awareness"
✓ VCs are ghosting you because your "organic presence" looks like a digital ghost town
✓ You're burning cash on content that reads like it was plagiarized from a terms of service agreement
✓ You're ready to stop being the industry's wallflower and start being its problem child

Sound familiar? Then you're exactly who we're looking for.

The hard truth? You suck at AI. But it's not your fault. You've been sold a lie by companies who think "AI writing" means letting GPT go wild after a two-prompt foreplay.

We fixed it. Because someone had to.

DM me "PAGE ONE" and I'll show you how we're helping companies terrorize their competition online.

P.S. If you're happy with generic, soulless AI content that sounds like everyone else's, this probably isn't for you. And that's okay. Someone has to keep the internet boring.

AI For Non-Techies | nontechies.ai

I believe AI should be accessible to everyone. 
So I built a business that teaches it in a simple, honest way. 

AI for Non-Techies (does what it says on the tin, really) offers: 

- AI training for teams (in-person or online)
- AI Academy for small businesses/freelancers 
- "Train the AI Trainer" courses 

Have a little look at what we do: https://nontechies.ai/

Oh, and a bit about me: 

- $75m revenue generated for clients using AI
- Working with brands such as Toyota, Mitsubishi, Google, Salesforce and many others 
- AI Consultant to UK government + local authorities
- Top 5 MarTech influencer globally
- On the ISO panel for AI and cyber security globally
- Winner: AI Trailblazer at the AI Revenue Summit 2024
- Winner: Top Women in SaaS 2024
- Featured regularly in Forbes Magazine
- International keynote speaker
- 20 years in marketing and sales (legal + finance)

I'm a humungous believer in doing your bit for your local community. I run Festive Friends, which provides free social events for older people who have no friends or family.  I believe AI has huge potential to reduce digital exclusion, too. 

To book training, speaking or a chat, contact my EA, Katie, who you can access via my email: heather@nontechies.ai.

Founder

AI for Non-Techies, born from a newsletter of the same name, was launched out of a clear need for non-technical AI education.   I'm deeply passionate and enthusiastic about helping non-technical people understand and integrate AI into their work and personal lives.

2025 was absolutely mental 🤯
£100k months, huge brands, big stages
But I also worked to dangerous levels
Here's how I'm planning to tackle 2026:

The year just gone was both the most successful AND the most unhealthy I've had. 

• We got ourselves from £20k/mo to £115k/mo, breaking the elusive "million pound month" barrier
• Both Google and Microsoft got in touch to praise what we do and how we're teaching people the tools they've built
• We had some of the world's biggest brands come to us for their AI training - and were delighted with the results
• I presented on some humongous stages, alongside celebrities and academics

BUT 

• I worked more hours than I've ever worked, often doing 12-14 hours a day and 7 day weeks, at full speed, full effort
• I had frequent nightmares and disturbed sleep, and my anxiety disorder got noticeably worse
• My friends and family were constantly telling me they were worried about me

I burnt myself out completely. 
It isn't big, it isn't clever. 
It's bloody dangerous.

I closed the business for 2 weeks over Christmas, and have had a lot of time to think deeply about how I will approach the coming year. 

1. 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
   I'm a massive, perfectionist bottleneck. I'll be carefully (but continuously) hiring for key roles and building strong, documented systems and standards that don't rely on me to deliver.
   
2. 𝗦𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗼 (𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀)
   We've set ambitious growth targets for 2026, aiming for £280k/mo by Dec 2026. If an opportunity doesn't serve those goals, it's a no. Even if it sounds fun. Even if it's flattering. Even if there's free food. No.

3. 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀
   Set hours. Hard stops. No more "just one more email", no more "quick weekend catch-up" that turns into a 14-hour day. 

I'm ridiculously proud of what we achieved in 2025 - AI for Non-Techies has done SO much. 

In 2026, I'm keeping the fierce ambition but I'll be just as fierce about ditching the unhealthy habits. 
 
💬 What's one thing you'll be doing differently this year?

My business grew 5x last year
One simple workflow helped hugely
3 simple steps + 2 tools (£40ish total)

Step 1: Ramble to your heart’s content. No need for any structure. 

Step 2: Download that big rambly transcript 

Step 3: Upload it into your AI chatbot of choice with a good prompt.  

Ramble chat = solid gold. 

More info in the vid. 

PS How was this video? Useful? Crap? Too long? Distracted by the way I sat in that weird way? 

Please let me know as I’ll be doing more and want to get them right!

Fellow AI trainers, educators, course creators: 
Do you use AI to help build your courses?
I use it a LOT. 

This past few weeks, it’s been me and Klara, my Claude Project, absolutely smashing it in doing 300 hours of work in about 100 hours. 

You can use AI badly and get rubbish, generic, meh results.
Or you can use it well and get stuff that actually works. 

The quality of your prompts is a biggie here. 

So the lovely folk at Learnworlds and I have put our brains together and created this free Prompt Book for you all, sharing some of my favourites to help you along in 2026. 

📌 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗮 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 - stress-test your idea before you build anything 
📌 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘂𝗺 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 - design a logical learning journey using Bloom's Taxonomy 
📌 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗿 - turn messy feedback into a clear action plan 
📌 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗿 - create activities that actually engage 
📌 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿 - transform bullet points into natural, watchable video scripts 
📌 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 - write copy that sells the transformation 
📌 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝘇 & 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 - design assessments that test real understanding 
📌 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 - proper ABCD-format objectives with the right Bloom's verbs 
📌 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁 - price with confidence, not guesswork 
📌 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 - get crystal clear on exactly who you're teaching

Every prompt follows proper structure (role, task, context, constraints, output) so you get genuinely useful results - not generic AI waffle.

This will save you hundreds of hours and drive your training business forward in a whole new way. 
You’ll need to put good stuff in (ideas, thoughts, examples of previous content) in order to get the good stuff out. 

This year, I’m determined to take my AI-driven course creation to the next level, so I’m going to the online 𝗔𝗜 𝘅 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 from LearnWorlds to find out the latest in this space. If you're a course creator, trainer, or L&D professional - this is worth your attention.

To learn more about prompting and AI-driven instructional design, it’s a free online event (with handy certification,too): https://lnkd.in/e88x7Zwj

2026-AI-Training-Brochure

Eek - it's finally here! 🎉
12 (live) weeks of solid ChatGPT gold 
(And it starts next week)

ChatGPT is a MASSIVELY powerful tool for small businesses, but the vast majority of people I meet only use about 1% of its features and capabilities.

Designed specifically for solopreneurs, freelancers and small businesses, our brand new live course is led by the brilliant (and super lovely) Nick Crawford and is crammed with colourful, eye-opening value: 

Week 1: Feature map and what's possible
Week 2: How to prompt like a pro
Week 3: Create a content creation powerhouse
Week 4: Build your own AI workforce
Week 5: Explore Atlas, Connectors and more
Week 6: Sales and lead generation
Week 7: Financial clarity and planning
Week 8: Deep research and market intelligence
Week 9: Autopilot customer service
Week 10: Visual storytelling
Week 11: The power of Projects
Week 12: Hidden Tricks, Hacks & What's Next for ChatGPT

We don't believe in lecturing as learning - you'll get hands-on throughout the whole course, testing what you learn live and building practical skills.

The course culiminates in a final project to bring it all together.  Pass that (our team will mark them) and you'll get a lovely certificate to share on socials.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱? 
You can do this course with ChatGPT Plus (£20/mo) but for decent security we recommend ChatGPT Business (£30/mo, 2 user minimum) if there's more than one of you.  I'm afraid the free one won't be enough. 

PS Sssnoooowww! Has anyone else got tons of it round by them?! ☃️
