Latest issues
One new issue every Tuesday: one tool, one week, and what I found.
A week with a meeting note taker
I let a note taker listen to every meeting for a week. It was good at action items, wrong about who said what, and the free plan was enough.
A week with a chat assistant for study notes
I used a chat assistant to turn a messy lecture page into a clean summary. It was good at structure and wrong about two dates. Cost: the free plan.
A week with a spreadsheet helper
A helper that writes formulas from plain sentences. Good for sums and lookups, wrong once on a date format. Cost: a small monthly fee I cancelled.

About
Hello, I’m Daisuke
I write from a small flat in Sapporo, at a low table with a laptop, a mug of tea and a lot of snow outside. By day I do ordinary office work: emails, meeting notes, spreadsheets, the odd report. When AI tools began to turn up everywhere, I wanted to know what they were actually good for on days like mine.
So I started the letter. Each week I pick one kind of tool, such as a writing assistant, a meeting note taker or a chat assistant, and use it on real work for seven days. Then I write down what it did well, what it got wrong and what it cost. I do not name products and I do not take money from tool makers. I would rather you could use the notes with any tool.
What I sell are the things I use to keep the trials fair: a prompt notebook, a comparison sheet, checklists and prompt packs, and two short video courses. They are plain and they do not need any one tool.
