About Slow AI

What if we used AI to think more slowly?

Slow AI is a weekly prompt series for people who want to reflect, create, and reclaim control in an accelerated digital world.

Each post offers a short, specific practice: a way to experiment with AI that prioritises care, attention, and imagination – not optimisation. You will be invited to write, draw, sketch, record, or reflect. Responses are welcomed in any form. Some weeks will be poetic, some practical. All will be slow.

Posts arrive every Tuesday – a quiet day, away from the rush, where small rituals can take root.

This is not a productivity blog.
This is not an AI tutorial.
This is an invitation.


What to expect

  • One post every Tuesday

  • One clear prompt

  • One exemplar response from me

  • Space for you to respond and share your own practice

  • A growing, gentle community exploring what AI could mean – if we slowed it down

You do not need to be technical. You do not need to be artistic. You just need curiosity, and a willingness to notice.


Why now?

Because the world is speeding up. Because AI is being shaped by urgency, scale, and profit. Because we risk forgetting that machines should not replace us, but reflect us – slowly, imperfectly, and on our own terms.

Slow AI is a movement toward more mindful, ethical, and human-centred uses of technology. It is about reclaiming creative agency, not resisting the future – but choosing to walk through it at a different pace.


Who is this for?

  • Educators and learners

  • Writers and designers

  • Technologists and ethicists

  • The quietly curious

If you have ever opened ChatGPT and thought: Could I use this differently?, then you are in the right place.
