Welcome to Nevermore (a.k.a. My Streaming Queue)
Confession: I was surfing streaming last week when Wednesday blinked back at me (yes, I’m late for the Wednesday party). As an Addams Family lifer—and, if we’re honest, probably a very distant cousin—I had to press play. Ten minutes in and I’m nodding along like, “Psychic visions? Suspicious statues? A hand that types faster than me? Family.”
By the time Enid bounded in and Thing waved, I wasn’t just watching—I was taking notes. Wednesday’s world is basically a masterclass in building a circle that balances your edges: werewolves, sirens, psychics, and one gloriously deadpan problem-solver. Which got me thinking… what if AI transferred to Nevermore?
Would Wednesday roll her eyes and deliver a cutting one-liner, or secretly enjoy a non-human “frenemy” that can keep up with her wit and instincts? If your attitude shapes your vision (Raven or Dove), it also shapes your prompts—and the results you get back. Let’s take a closer look.
Wednesday’s Core Crew: They’re the ultimate supernatural squad—loyal, chaotic, and occasionally murderous:
Enid Sinclair – the rainbow-haired werewolf who balances Wednesday’s monochrome
Xavier Thorpe – the brooding artist with visions that (sometimes) help solve mysteries.
Eugene Ottinger – the lovable, loyal and lethal beekeeper pal.
Bianca Barclay – the sharp-tongued siren who flips between rival and reluctant ally.
And of course, Thing—Wednesday’s sensitive, clever and mischievous sidekick!
Enter AI as a new character at Nevermore Academy: The Digital Outcast
Always available for cryptic riddles at 2 a.m.
Able to pull centuries of gothic poetry in seconds.
Zero judgment when Wednesday plays cello for hours in the dark.
Wednesday’s Whole Raven/Dove Thing? That’s AI. Your attitude shapes what you see. Come at AI with Raven-level precision and skepticism, it’ll spot cracks in your plan. Approach with Dove-like optimism, it’ll open doors you didn’t know existed. Either way, AI can join Wednesday group of misfits.
And the best part is that AI doesn’t need snacks, hog dorm room mirrors, and is available 24/7.
Orientation at Nevermore: How to Befriend AI (No piranhas necessary)
Raven’s Love Language: Sharpen Your Prompts: Every friend has quirks. Prompts are inside jokes you build together. Give context, tone, and audience, and your AI starts “getting you” with spooky accuracy. AI thrives on specifics.
Don’t Ghost the Goth: Keep the Banter Going: If AI gives you “almost right,” don’t storm out of the crypt. Nudge it: “More casual.” “Shorter—LinkedIn style.” “Try the opening again—sharper.” That back-and-forth is how even the most cryptic Wednesday vision turns into a plan.
Ask the Oddities: Summon the Unexpected: AI lives for weird questions and fresh angles. “What would Shakespeare sound like reviewing a taco truck?“Pitch this product using lunar mythology and teen slang.”
Morticia’s House Rules: Know the Boundaries: Healthy friendships have limits. AI won’t hand over Wi-Fi passwords, plot world domination, or predict lottery numbers. Respect the guardrails and you’ll avoid…unpleasantness.
The Nightshade Crew: Your AI Ensemble Cast
ChatGPT — Wednesday’s Inner Monologue (that answers back). Brainstorms, outlines, pep talks, “no one else will answer this” questions.
Grammarly — Morticia’s Manicure. Smooths edges, fixes grammar, and ensures your writing always looks professional.
Canva — Enid’s Color Explosion. On-brand decks and posts, without the meltdown. Pair it with GPT’s copy for pro-level visuals.
Notion AI — Principal Weems’ Planner. Tasks, wikis, calendars—your shapeshifting command center so deadlines stop shapeshifting on you.
Midjourney / DALL·E — Xavier’s Sketchbook That Actually Renders. Turn concepts into visuals. (Pro tip: keep Midjourney for imagery, not spelling.)
The Real Lesson: The new Wednesday series shows us that friendship comes in many forms. Sometimes it’s a werewolf roommate, sometimes it’s a beekeeper, and sometimes… it’s a line of code that understands your darkest jokes.
So, whether you’re Team Enid, Team Thing, or Team AI, the takeaway is clear: even outcasts need their circle. And in 2025, it seems this circle includes artificial intelligence.
Final Scene: “Cue the Cello Music”: At Biz Made EZ, we’ve learned your best collaborator doesn’t have to breathe—just compute. Your digital crew won’t join you for a cemetery picnic (rude), but they’ll help you think bigger, work smarter, and look sharper, day after delightfully dark day.
