Hello Reader, The next edition of the Espresso AI newsletter goes out on Thursday, and I wanted to give you a little preview of what paid subscribers will receive. The May issue will include: 1. A simple prompt for making big business decisions If you’ve ever gone round in circles over a serious business decision, this provides a structured way to use AI to help risk assess and stress-test the implications without it hijacking the outcome or telling you to just go for it. Most clients sit on useful data without realising what they have or how they can use it, so in this issue, you get a handy prompt to turn newsletter data into marketing insights. It only takes a few minutes, but it’ll position you as someone who actively thinks about how to improve their client’s business instead of passively waiting for tasks. 3. Recent AI updates worth your attention There’s a lot of noise around AI right now, including new releases, an AI backlash and EU legal developments. Jo shares the latest updates, what they mean in practice, and how they could affect your work, especially if you support EU-based clients. 4. A demo of GPT Images 2.0 Jo used a real photo to make an infographic poster to show you what a first-draft output actually looks like and whether it’s useful for client graphics such as social posts, mock-ups and other online visuals. The download contains a clear breakdown of how tokens and usage limits actually work across the main platforms, so you can avoid slowdowns, cut-offs, and wasted time. Find out what’s going on behind the scenes, and which platform gives you the most bang for your buck. 6. A real-life example of Jo being gaslit This example shows how confidently AI tools can get things wrong, even when they sound certain, and what that means for how you use them for client work. This is scary because all three main LLMs were adamant that they were correct, even though the opposite was true. All of this is only available to Espresso AI subscribers. If you want to stay up to date with all the many ways you can use AI in your VA business, but you’re busy AF and just want a monthly email packed with carefully curated info, then consider signing up. It's just £4.99 a month. You can cancel at any time AND put it on your business expenses… HURRAH! ​​Find out more and subscribe.​ Best wishes, Holly ​ |

Hi Reader,Can you believe it’s July already? That means we’re officially halfway through 2026, making this the perfect time to pause, reflect on how far you’ve come and decide where your focus should be for the second half of the year.As business owners, we're often so busy chasing the next client, the next project or the next milestone that we rarely stop to acknowledge what we've already achieved. Yet taking stock is one of the most valuable things you can do.So, before you dive into the...
Helloo!If you’re in the UK (or anywhere in Europe in fact), I hope you’ve survived this week’s heatwave. My coping methods have included the fan being on when at my desk, keeping the blinds closed and plenty of ice-pops throughout the day! 🥶 Anyway, back to business. With another change of Prime Minster on the horizon in the UK, you might be wondering what this means for your business. Right now, it’s probably not very much. Whenever there’s political or economic uncertainty, it’s easy to...
Hello lovelies,I’m back home after a fab few days in Newcastle for Atomicon ’26. It’s been a hectic week but great to catch up with so many of you (sorry to those I didn’t manage to grab a pic with, I’m pretty rubbish at remembering to get my 📸 out!). For those of you who don’t know what Atomicon is all about, it’s a sales and marketing conference you can attend virtually or in person and there are a ton of sessions with some awesome speakers as well as a ton of virtual events throughout the...
