Every week brings a fresh flood of AI announcements, and buried inside it are the two or three changes that will genuinely move your revenue. The rest is noise wearing a press release. Most owners get a bad pair of options: lose hours sorting signal from hype, or tune it all out and hope nothing important slips past. The Almanac ends that trade. We read everything, translate it into plain English, and hand you only what improves revenue or saves you hours — with the exact move to make and an honest word on which tools help.
There’s a reason this is called an almanac. For three centuries, farmers and sea captains opened one before the season turned — a plain little book that told working people what was coming and when to act. It was prophecy for practical minds, trusted because it kept proving true. The AI era deserves the same instrument, written for people who own something worth protecting. That’s the promise behind every morning’s forecast.
What If the People Building AI Are Right to Be Afraid of It?
Yesterday, an AI researcher named Jacob Coxon explained why he had resigned from Anthropic. His argument was difficult to dismiss as the usual anxiety about artificial intelligence.

Costs rising, returns thinning. Every click is worth protecting.
Buyers are asking assistants before they ask Google. Visibility is moving.
Phone, follow-up, and paperwork are learning to run themselves.
No feeds to scroll, no forty-tab research sessions. The Almanac answers the same five questions every weekday, so you always know exactly where to look.
The one change that actually matters, pulled from the noise of a hundred announcements.
What it means for revenue, customers, and time — in your language, with real numbers.
And who can safely ignore it. Half the value is knowing what to skip.
Where this is heading over the next six months, so you can plan instead of react.
One concrete action for the week — and when a tool makes it easier, the honest pick.
Somewhere between clients, payroll, and an actual life, “keeping up with AI” became a second job nobody hired you for.
I’m Kevin. I’ve owned businesses for twenty-five years and written three books about growing them. Each morning I read the announcements, the research, and the fine print, then send you the short version: what changed, whether it touches your business, and the one move worth making.
One standing promise: the recommendation always comes first. If a link pays the Almanac a commission, it says so right where the link sits.
Two more things you should know. When a forecast misses, you’ll hear that from me too. And every issue comes from my desk — hit reply anytime; it lands with me, and I read every one.
