Hello and welcome to Cyborgs Writing! I’m Lance Cummings, a specialist in rhetoric focused on AI content operations, the people, processes, and systems that power effective content development in an AI-driven world.
Here, I explore the practical intersection of rhetorical principles and modern AI technology. My focus is on giving you knowledge you can actually apply: how structured content and deliberate workflows make AI perform better, whether you’re working in a business, a classroom, or your own creative practice.
What you’ll find here
‣ Practical AI workflow guidance: concrete techniques for building AI systems, from prompt design to knowledge organization
‣ Structured content strategies: how to organize information so AI performs better, without losing human expertise and judgment
‣ Knowledge graph development: how to map relationships between concepts for more sophisticated, contextual AI interactions
‣ Rhetorical principles for AI: classical frameworks that turn out to explain a lot about how AI communication actually works
Free subscribers get selected lessons from PromptOps and Writing with Machines, practical strategy articles, and curated resources for getting started with AI content operations.
Paid subscribers get full access to the Writing with Machines course, the Content Lab and prompt library, beta access to upcoming courses on structured content and knowledge graphs, and step-by-step tutorials for your specific context.

I also consult with organizations building structured AI content systems: designing workflows, developing knowledge bases for a specific content domain, and training teams to work with AI effectively. If that’s useful to you, schedule a conversation.
