About Iris
I write about artificial intelligence for people who want results, not hype. Each week I put new models, apps and research through real work — drafting, coding, image generation, data clean-up — and report what held up. Expect plain explanations, honest limitations, and shortcuts you can use the same day. No jargon walls, no affiliate noise.Inside the Lab
