Out of the Loop, Into the Algorithm: How I Finally Made Friends with AI What if AI isn't actually that complicated? What if you just needed someone to explain it like a friend would? After losing her job at Google, Wanjiku Kamau found herself at a crossroads. Everyone around her was casually discussing AI tools while she frantically Googled acronyms, hoping no one noticed she was completely lost. While you've been avoiding the AI conversation, AI has been quietly reshaping everything from your job search to your retirement fund. This isn't just about technology. It's about the universal experience of reinventing yourself when the world shifts faster than you can keep up, and discovering how you can do the same. What makes this book different is its radical honesty about feeling behind. Written with vulnerability and humor, it follows Kamau's journey from airport anxiety to building two businesses, not by becoming a tech expert, but by learning to work with AI as a thinking partner. After twenty years at companies like Google, Intel, and Siemens, she discovered that understanding AI wasn't about mastering code. It was about having better conversations. Through personal stories and practical insights, Kamau shows how she went from spectacular failures (melting dog animations, anyone?) to building websites in 24 hours, creating automated systems for her podcast, and helping friends transform their own work. She shares the five categories that finally made AI make sense, the boundaries that keep her authentic voice intact, and why treating AI like a collaborator changes everything. This book is for anyone who's ever nodded along in conversations about AI while secretly feeling lost. It's for professionals facing career transitions who wonder if they're too late to learn new technology. It's for people curious about AI but intimidated by technical jargon. It's for those seeking authentic stories about reinvention and finding confidence after setback. And it's for readers who want practical guidance without the hype or fear mongering. Kamau doesn't promise AI will revolutionize your life overnight. Instead, she offers something more valuable: proof that you don't need to be a tech genius to figure this out. You just need curiosity, the right approach, and someone who's been where you are to show you it's possible. With warmth, humor, and hard won wisdom, this book transforms the intimidating world of AI into an accessible journey of discovery. It's about finding your voice in the age of algorithms, maintaining your humanity while embracing new tools, and discovering that being "out of the loop" might be exactly where your transformation begins. From the foreword by Tamara Srzentic, First Digital Minister of Montenegro : "Her story has inspired me personally in ways I didn't expect... She has a rare gift: the ability to lift others even as she charts her own path." Join thousands of readers who've discovered that understanding AI isn't about becoming someone else. It's about amplifying who you already are.
