This is our library. Five shelves, each one holds something different. Tap any shelf below to open it.

What's on the shelves
Five things, and none of them cost anything
We wrote all of it while doing real client work. It's free because a team that understands these words is easier to work with, not to collect your email.

The Lexicon
Every AI word we use, explained in plain English, sorted by topic. If a word shows up anywhere on this site, you can look it up here.
Simple side-by-side pages for when you already know two things exist and just need to know which one you want, like a workflow versus automation versus an agent.
Written for small teams putting AI into a real workday. Free to read, no email required.
Implementation Best Practices Finished
Why implementations fail, the three layers of workflow, automation and agent, a readiness checklist, and what done actually looks like.

Training That Actually Transfers Finished
Why most Copilot and Claude training does not survive contact with a real workday, and what training that transfers actually looks like.
Read it →
What Real Adoption Looks Like at 90 Days Finished
The difference between a team that used AI once and a team that changed how it works, checked at 30, 60, and 90 days.

This vs that
For when you already know roughly what something is, but need to pick between two options. Seven boards, each one side by side.
Agent or assistant Board
Which one you are actually buying, and why the answer changes the price.

Claude or Copilot Board
Both are agents on a large language model. Where each one is genuinely better.
Open it →
Claude Team or Enterprise Board
The plan question, answered on what you actually get rather than seat count.

All seven boards are on one page, and there is a printed edition.

What this room is
Everything People in the Loop has written about working with AI agents, in one room. All of it is free, none of it wants your email, and we wrote it while doing real client work.
Each lit shelf holds one kind of thing. Hover a shelf to see what's on it, click it to go in.
People keep using words you don't quite know
Start with the Lexicon. It's every AI word we use, explained in plain English.
