The AI Power Map
A constantly-updated strategic resource tracking which companies are winning and losing in AI, and why.
You’ll learn frameworks like “Commoditizing Complements” (the dominant AI industry strategy) and “The Power of Defaults” (why distribution beats product quality).
Prompt Engineer Collective
A private Slack community of 1,300+ AI professionals, including practitioners at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Meta.
Members get job referrals, unlisted roles, salary benchmarks, and direct access to hiring managers at top AI companies. This network informs the newsletter.
Honestly? This alone is worth the subscription. I’ve seen members land roles through community referrals that they never would have found otherwise.
Expense It
Lots of readers expense this through their company’s L&D budget. If you want to do the same, here’s an email you can send your manager:
Hi [Manager],
I’d like to expense a subscription to AI News Digest ($90/year). It’s a weekly newsletter covering AI industry trends, technology developments, and market analysis. It also includes access to a professional community of 1,300+ AI practitioners.
This will help me stay current on AI developments relevant to our work without spending hours reading multiple sources.

AI Advisory Services
I advise a select number of companies on AI strategy, go-to-market, and implementation. Only 3 engagements each quarter.
Recent work: AI-powered customer targeting for a Series A startup (5,000+ accounts analyzed automatically) and a sales prospecting system that finds decision-makers and how to reach them.
My background: I’ve led growth at an AI agents company, sold enterprise AI at Salesforce and Microsoft, and helped build a product acquired by Databricks. I’ve spent 2+ years analyzing every major AI company’s moves in this newsletter.
If you’re an executive navigating AI decisions, build vs. buy, vendor selection, organizational readiness, I can help.

About Me
I’m Rome. Based in San Francisco.
By day, I’m helping build and grow Firmograph, building AI agents for sales and RevOps teams. We help CROs and revenue leaders analyze their Salesforce, Gong, and Gmail data without needing a full BI implementation.
Before that I led sales at Datajoy (acquired by Databricks) and spent time at Salesforce and Microsoft. I started building in generative AI after the Databricks acquisition. My first product was killed by ChatGPT, so I started writing The AI News Digest while searching for my next idea.
I figure if I’m going to spend all this time making sense of it for myself, I might as well help others do the same.
