AI in Brief
AI in Brief is a daily newsletter on LinkedIn. It summarizes the most important AI news in a few minutes, with a focus on what matters to developers and technical teams.
It is written in Arabic and read by 2,000+ people on LinkedIn. The goal is simple: less noise, more signal.
How I use AI
AI is useful when it is treated as a tool, not an authority. These are the places where it earns its keep in my work.
Debugging and code reading
I use AI to explain unfamiliar code, compare approaches, and surface edge cases I might miss. I still run and review every change myself.
Tests and documentation
AI helps me draft test cases and turn implementation details into clear documentation. The final wording and coverage are mine.
Arabic and English
Bilingual products need more than translation. I use AI to compare phrasing, catch tone mismatches, and check technical terms in both languages.
Learning
I study English and new technical topics with AI-assisted tools. It is a tutor and a research assistant, not a replacement for practice.
What I don't do
- I don't ship AI-generated code without reading, running, and testing it.
- I don't publish AI-generated facts without checking a primary source.
- I don't paste private client data or credentials into tools that don't need them.
- I don't use AI to fake experience, metrics, or testimonials.
AI in products
I build with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and SQL. That stack is also my base for AI features: chat interfaces, summarization, search, and workflow automation through APIs such as the OpenAI API.
If you need an AI feature inside a web product, the work starts with the product problem, not the model. I can help scope the feature, build the interface, connect the API, and keep the result fast and accessible.
