Learn with BlooSprout

Learn AI. By giving it a go.

Start with one useful task. Learn what to tell AI and how to check its work. Then explore assistants and routines that help with the jobs you do again and again.

Original notesAnnoyed, but trying to stay polite

The desk was due yesterday. I stayed in, but it didn’t arrive.
Tracking still says “out for delivery”. There’s been no update.
I’m annoyed. Ask what happened and when I can expect it, without sounding rude.

A POSSIBLE DRAFT

A calm reply that gets to the point

Hi, my desk was due yesterday, but it hasn’t arrived. I stayed in for the delivery.

Tracking still says “out for delivery”, and I haven’t had an update. Could you check what happened and confirm when I can expect it?

Please let me know if you need my order details. Thanks.

YOUR PART

Check the delivery details and tone before you send it.

A useful starting point. You make the final call.

A prompt to try

Turn my frustrated notes into a short, calm message to a delivery company. My desk was due yesterday. I stayed in, but it did not arrive. Tracking still says “out for delivery”, and there has been no update. I am annoyed. Ask what happened and when I can expect delivery, without sounding rude. Do not invent an order number, dates or promises.

A long message

What do I actually need to do?

Quick update on Friday’s team lunch: we’ve moved it to the café downstairs at 12.30 because the meeting room is booked.
Please reply by Wednesday if you’re coming and mention any dietary needs. We’ll order once we know numbers.
No need to bring food. Bring your own drink if you like. I’ll send a reminder on Thursday.

The details worth keeping

When and where: Friday, 12.30, at the café downstairs.

Your action: reply by Wednesday to say if you’re coming and share any dietary needs.

Bring: no food needed. A drink is optional.

Compare this with the original message. Check the day, time and reply deadline.

A prompt to try

Summarise this message in three short parts: when and where, what I need to do, and what to bring. Keep the exact days and time. Do not invent a date or say I am attending. Message: “Quick update on Friday’s team lunch: we’ve moved it to the café downstairs at 12.30 because the meeting room is booked. Please reply by Wednesday if you’re coming and mention any dietary needs. We’ll order once we know numbers. No need to bring food. Bring your own drink if you like.

A busy evening

Too much to fit into tonight

Home at 6.30, and I want to stop doing jobs by 8.
Cooking and eating takes 40 minutes. Packing tomorrow’s bag takes 10, and two work emails need 15.
I’d like a walk too, but laundry can wait. Leave some breathing room.

A plan with room to breathe

6.30 to 7.10: cook and eat. Start with dinner.

7.10 to 7.35: pack your bag, then reply to the two emails.

7.35 to 7.50: take a short walk if you feel like it. Keep the last 10 minutes free; leave laundry for another day.

Use timings that fit your evening. If dinner runs over, shorten or skip the walk.

A prompt to try

Make a realistic evening plan in three short steps. I get home at 6.30 pm and want to stop doing jobs by 8 pm. Cooking and eating takes 40 minutes. Packing tomorrow’s bag takes 10 minutes, and replying to two work emails takes 15. I would like a walk too, but laundry can wait. Fit the necessary tasks first, make the walk optional and leave some breathing room. Do not overlap tasks or add extra jobs.

Learning path

Start with a task. Build from there.

These are ideas for future sessions. The free October workshop focuses on a launch email.

It starts with one small task.

Your delivery has not arrived. Turn frustrated notes into a calm email.

You check: Are the details right? Does it say what you mean?

Then it starts to sound like you.

You have news to share. Turn your weekly update into social posts that sound like your business.

You check: Does it sound like you? Is everything it says true?

Now give it the information it needs.

A customer needs an answer. Use earlier emails to prepare a reply you can check.

You check: Has it found the right message? Is the reply ready to send?

And when the same job comes round again…

The workshop is over. Turn your notes into a recap and a draft invitation to the next one.

You check: Confirm the dates, who will receive it and what you are promising.

And you stay in charge.

An AI agent uses information and tools to work through a job you give it. You set the rules and decide what needs your approval.

Start with the jobs you know. The same approach can help you build something new, such as a simple website.

A place to start. Room to keep going.

One useful step leads to another.

In planning

The weekly AI coffee hour.

Bring a tea or coffee. See something I have built with AI that week, explore how it works and ask how you could use the idea yourself.

A weekly live hour with Vaibhav.
Resources to practise between sessions.

Planned for October. The first date and way to join are still being arranged.

Ask about the coffee hour

Opens an email draft to ask for details. It does not join a group or subscribe you to the newsletter.

A step. An example. Your turn.

Learning should leave room for trying.

I have taught dance, helped people build with no-code tools and run a free AI workshop at Slough Museum. I am bringing that practical approach online, with examples checked before each session.
