In Short (But Not Really)

It’s Wednesday, which only means one thing at TinT – it’s time for an In Short!

But this week, we’re switching it up.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring to you a change in rhythm:

The In Short series will be on pause for a few weeks.

The newsletter isn’t going anywhere — it’s still very much alive and kicking. It’s just this series that’s taking a short break.

In The Mean Time

So many of you have reached out to collaborate – which is SO awesome!

TinT is here for clinicians who are seeking interdisciplinary conversations, and in that spirit, we have an open call:

Write for TinT

Been thinking deeply about a latest AI product launch?

Curious about how something works but don’t have all the answers?

Working your way through a tricky idea and have a perspective to share?

We want to hear from you.

Put your thoughts in a Google Doc and send it over. We’re happy to do 2 rounds of feedback for clarity of thought and polish (if needed) and publish it under your name in an upcoming TinT edition.

Here’s how to contribute:

1. Write a Google Doc of 400 - 600 words (no need to be polished – it can be a draft or work-in-progress)
2. At the bottom, state clearly your name, email id, and what you do
3. Share it with us at harshali@thetint.co (remember to give us view access!)

You may not have a clear direction yet, or a clear message. You may only be researching a certain topic and not know everything about it. Or you may have read up a lot and be well ahead of the curve. There’s no wrong answer when it comes to your own journey of AI literacy.

Remember, pretty much everyone is in the same boat.

Everyone is trying to make sense of AI and it’s role in therapy practice.

Which is why it’s imperative that there is a space (outside of the chaos of LinkedIn, Insta, TikTok) where people share their process of sense-making about AI.

We strongly encourage clinicians to contribute!

But we won’t deny you if you’re a founder, designer, ML engineer, or a researcher keen on contributing to mental health innovation .

TinT is read by professionals across India and the US playing all of the above roles at varying levels of expertise.

In Short… of In Shorts

Over the past 10 editions of TinT, we’ve covered a few core AI concepts and why they matter to mental health.

Missed any? These are ~5-minute reads to get you up to speed:

• ​In Short: Prompt Engineering​
• ​In Short: Fine-tuning​
• ​In Short: Large Language Models​
• ​In Short: Foundation Models​

For When You Want Depth

If you’re in the mood for a slightly more involved read, we recommend you get a warm drink and sit down with:

• A self-led 15 min workshop for you to craft prompts​
• Take a look at skills clinicians will need in the future​
• ​4 Questions to help clients see the AI care Illusion​
• ​Should Foundation Models for Psychology Exist? (An Argument)​

Does this mean In Shorts is fin? Dead? Khallas?

Nope, not at all!

We’re just pacing ourselves.

There are so many more AI and Machine Learning concepts to unpack that are a must-know for clinicians!

We’re a small, remote team of 3: Aditi in Pune, Vinamra in Bangalore, and Harshali in Seattle. Since six hands can only do so much at a time, we’ve decided to be judicious with focus and energy toward the next big working title project under the TinT banner!

You’ll continue seeing us every week on Sunday. So stay tuned, you should hear from us very soon! :)

Help us sustain this effort

💛 If TinT sparked a thought or made your work easier, consider supporting us.

We’re committed to keeping TinT independent (no ads, no sponsors!) because real learning deserves a space free from sales pitches. Your one-time contribution helps make that possible.

Thanks for reading TinT!
