Go to the newsletter page, or find a subscribe form on the home page or at the top or bottom of any issue. 2. Type your email address. If you are signed in, you can click Subscribe with this email instead. 3. Click Subscribe free. 4. Open the confirmation email and click its link. 5. On the page that opens, click Yes, subscribe me. ## The blog The [blog](https://www.razi.pro/blog) has write-ups about building with AI, document tools, automation and the site itself. Some posts belong to a series. When a series has two or more parts, the post shows **Part 1 of 3** (or similar) with links to the other parts and to a page that lists the whole series. ## Getting a post as a PDF Some posts offer the whole article as a typeset PDF. Look for a box that says "The whole thing as a typeset PDF". It has the same words as the page, and the download link is emailed to you. 1. Type your email address. If you are signed in, it uses your account's address. 2. Click **Send** (or **Send it to me** if you are signed in). 3. Open the email and click the download link. The link works for 7 days. After it has been used 10 times it stops working, and you can ask for a new one from the same post. If you are not already subscribed to the newsletter, you also get an invitation to it. You are not sent any issues unless you confirm that invitation. ## The Builder's Brief The Builder's Brief is a free weekly email about AI news. Each issue has the week's top story in depth, the rest of the week's news in one line each, and a link to every original source. Stories are summarised with AI and reviewed by a person before an issue goes out. Some issues include a poll or quiz. You vote from the email, and the results appear in the next week's issue. ## Subscribing and confirming Subscribe forms are on the home page, the [newsletter page](https://www.razi.pro/newsletter), and at the top and bottom of every past issue. After you click **Subscribe free**, you see a message asking you to check your inbox. Nothing is sent to you until you confirm: 1. Open the confirmation email and click the link. 2. A page opens that says **Confirm your subscription**. Click **Yes, subscribe me**. 3. You see **You're subscribed**, with a link to the latest issue. A welcome email follows. If the link says it is invalid or has expired, subscribe again to get a new one. If you are already subscribed, submitting the form again changes nothing. ## Unsubscribing Every issue has an **Unsubscribe** link at the bottom. Many email apps also show their own unsubscribe button for the newsletter. Clicking the link opens a page asking **Unsubscribe from The Builder's Brief?** Click **Yes, unsubscribe me** to stop the emails. Nothing changes until you click that button. If you change your mind, click **No, keep me subscribed**. ## Past issues and RSS feeds Every sent issue is listed by date on the [newsletter page](https://www.razi.pro/newsletter).
