Out of the Loop, Into the Algorithm: How I Finally Made Friends with AI
Not yet published
Expected 11 Nov 25Do you ever feel like everyone got the AI memo except you?
Six months ago, Wanjiku Kamau was sitting in the Sacramento airport, frantically Googling “What is ChatGPT?” while her dog Champ sighed beside her. After twenty years in tech—at Siemens, Intel, and Google—she’d just lost her job and realized everyone around her was suddenly fluent in AI.
Meanwhile, she was the woman who’d clung to her BlackBerry until 2013.
If you’ve ever nodded along in a conversation about AI, pretending you understood, this book is for you.
Out of the Loop, Into the Algorithm: How I Finally Made Friends with AI is part crash course, part personal reinvention story. You’ll learn:
-The surprising reason treating AI like a search engine is completely wrong (and what to do instead)
-The “Times Square Test” that protects your privacy while using AI tools
-Why spectacular failures—like melting dog animations—are actually the fastest path to AI confidence
-The five-category framework that turns AI overwhelm into organized action
-How to keep your authentic voice when everyone says AI will replace human creativity
-The conversation technique Stanford researchers found separates AI beginners from power users
Along the way, Kamau shares the friendship approach that transforms AI from an intimidating technology into a collaborative partner—without losing yourself in the process.
This isn’t another technical manual filled with jargon. It’s a funny, deeply human story about curiosity, burnout, and learning to rebuild a career with help from the very technology that once felt out of reach.
Today, Kamau runs two AI-powered businesses, consults for organizations from political campaigns to beverage brands, and has become the go-to AI guide for friends and executives who swore they were “too old for this tech stuff.”
Grab your copy and discover why being “late to the party” might just be your biggest advantage.
