Neural Gains Weekly: From User to Builder
Make AI useful in your everyday work. That is the whole mission here.
I'm Santosh Savel. I have spent over 13 years in healthcare, where I lead a team building digital experiences, and in 2025 I stopped reading about AI and started building with it, with no coding background. Neural Gains Weekly is where I document what works. One email every Tuesday. A full issue one week, with one AI concept in plain English and a prompt you can copy. A short note the next, with the best lesson from the newest episode of Explore AI Out Loud, the podcast I co-host with Brandon Ratay. No hype. No fear. Just workflows.
Pick your starting point
If you want a prompt you can use today. Steal My Prompt Vol. 33: The Self-Performance Review. The prompt readers use most. It turns a self-evaluation into outcome evidence a manager would respect, and it works in Copilot too.
If you want the big picture. Volume 18: Your Life Becomes the Dataset. The issue I would hand to a friend who asked why AI matters for someone like them. It connects your everyday life to how these models learn, in plain language.
If you want to see how I think. What a Weekly Deadline Made Possible. Fifty-two weekly issues, a podcast built with a friend who had never made one, and what actually changed. The essay behind this site's rhythm.
Everything else is in the Archive, where you can filter by issue, essay or prompt.
