A steady, plain-English read, once a week. No hype, no jargon, no fear. Just Zac and Zax telling you what changed, whether it matters to you, and what you can safely ignore.
Inside askzax+ · one free sample edition, no sign-up
Every few days there's a new model, a new gadget, a new headline telling you the world's changed again. Most of it doesn't matter to you at all. But nobody's sorting the useful from the noise — not in language you'd actually want to read. So we do. The Zax Report is the friend who follows all this so you don't have to, and tells you the truth: "this one's worth ten minutes — ignore the rest."
The one thing worth knowing this week, in a few plain lines.
What earns your attention, and what you can safely ignore. Honestly.
One bit of jargon, decoded properly. "Agent". "Hallucination". No waffle.
What's coming — and whether you'll actually need to care.
Honest verdicts on gear and tools. We say "skip it" as often as "buy it".
The first edition is free and open — no sign-up, no card. The rest land every week for askzax+ members.
The noise this week is all new apps to download. The bit that matters is quieter — AI is turning up inside the services you already use, and your phone's assistant is next in line. No new app, no new password.
Read Edition 01 free →Google has cut the price of a paid AI plan and doubled its storage. So the question lands again: should you pay for AI for your child's schoolwork? Both paths. Free costs nothing, and the DfE says many free tools train on what you type. Paid tiers, DfE says, often let you opt out. But JCQ says AI content earns no marks either way…
Ofcom wrote in 2024 that AI needs only "a few seconds" of a real voice to clone it. Worth understanding, which isn't the same as worth fearing. So: no big numbers here, on purpose. One habit instead, agreed over a cup of tea…
The loud news was a new flagship model from OpenAI. The honest version: if you open ChatGPT without paying, nothing changed. What did move — a translation app that holds a conversation out loud, an NHS scribe that lets a clinician look at you instead of a screen — arrived with no launch event…
Straight with you: Edition 01 is live and free to read right now. Editions 02, 03 and 04 are written, checked and land for members weekly as we open the doors. That's what we have — we'd rather show you exactly what's coming than pretend there's a back catalogue. And if a week goes by with nothing genuinely worth your attention, we'll tell you that instead of padding it out. Every fact we print carries a link to the place that says it, so you never have to take our word for it.
The Zax Report is one part of askzax+ — which also gets you the full Vault: 150+ prompts and guided Systems across 19 categories of real life, always growing. Less than a coffee a month.
