Hi, I’m Cihan.
A curious operator. An honest filter for AI.
Sound familiar?
AI is moving fast.
Your to-do list isn’t getting shorter.
“I don’t want to become technical.”
You have meetings, clients and a business to run. Learning a complicated system can become another job.
“How does this help in my real job?”
A polished demo is easy to admire. Turning it into a useful report, clearer decision or repeatable workflow is the part you need.
Picture your next workweek
More room to think.
Less starting from scratch.
Choose one task. Give AI a clear brief. Review the result. Keep what helps.
A useful first draft
Turn your notes into a report you can check and improve, with missing details clearly marked.
A clearer meeting
Arrive with an agenda, the decisions that matter, and the questions you still need answered.
A smaller first step for your business
Test one workflow before investing in another tool, automation or complicated setup.
AI helps with the preparation. Your judgment stays at the center.
Your guide, Cihan
Curious about the tools.
Serious about the work.
I’ve worked across shipping, development, startups and venture operations. That operator’s lens shapes what I look for in AI: a clearer way to do a real job.
I share practical workflows and independent judgments. If something is overcomplicated or overhyped, that belongs in the verdict too.
A few useful answers.
Who is The Weekly Verdict for?
Office professionals, managers, operators and business builders who want practical ways to use AI in everyday work.
Do I need to code or buy lots of AI tools?
No coding knowledge is needed. Start with a work task and an approved tool you already have. The goal is to find a useful workflow before adding subscriptions or complexity.
What will I receive?
A weekly email built around a useful work task: a practical approach, a prompt or example, and a clear TRY, SKIP or USE verdict with its limitations.
Will AI do my job for me?
AI can help prepare drafts, organize information and explore options. You still check facts, protect confidential information and own the final decision.
