About

Consulting The Machine is a weekly AI newsletter and toolkit for professionals who want practical results, not technical theory. Every issue delivers one tested workflow you can use the same day, written in plain English with a copy-paste prompt, a specific time estimate, and honest limits.

Created by Ted Smoot, a professional with 15+ years in enterprise technology who got tired of AI advice written by engineers for engineers. CTM exists because most people don't need to understand how AI works. They need to know what to do with it on Monday morning.

Think of it as a peer, not a guru. No certifications, no 47-step frameworks, no breathless hype. Just the thing that actually works.

One workflow. Every Wednesday. Plain English.
