Artificial Leverage: Mental Models and Workflows for Mastering Generative AI by Matthew Jefferies

The problem

You use AI every day. You are productive with it. But you know you are barely scratching the surface. The models are changing every month. The capabilities are expanding faster than anyone can track. And the gap between "using AI" and "leveraging AI" is where careers are made or broken.

The solution

Artificial Leverage gives you 12 mental models for understanding and using frontier AI. No code. No engineering background required. Written by a practitioner who has used every major AI system daily since late 2022.
