TASTE: The Skill AI Can't Give You
The skill AI can't give you.
A practical guide to developing taste, the judgment that helps you make better decisions and build things people actually choose.
The problem
A website, an app or an ad used to take a team and months. Now one person with an AI tool can make one in a weekend.
That's good news, until you notice that everyone else can do it too. The results start to look the same: same features, same layouts, same promises.
So what sets one product apart? Not whether it was built, but whether someone chose well. What to make. What to leave out. How it should feel to use.
That ability is called taste. And it's a skill you can train.
What this is
TASTE: The Skill AI Can't Give You is a short, practical guide to building product judgment. It isn't a theory book about beauty. Every chapter ends with an exercise, so you practise instead of just reading.

- The five-question method for judging any product, ending with the one change that matters most
- The TASTE framework (Target, Aim, Select, Test, Elevate): a repeatable way to turn "it feels off" into a clear decision
- The 7-Day Taste Challenge: 15 minutes a day to build the habit
- AI prompts for critiquing, simplifying and comparing your ideas, so AI sharpens your thinking instead of replacing it
