Build your first automation in 15 minutes I built my first automation to solve a problem I had every single morning: I’d check 5 websites for updates, then copy-paste the interesting ones into a note. It took 20 minutes. Every day. So I built an automation that does it for me. It runs at 8am. It checks all 5 sites. It sends me a summary. I haven’t done it manually since. ...

Build a Tool That Works While You Sleep — No Code Required

A 2024 survey by Menlo Ventures found that 60% of enterprise AI pilots never make it to production, often because they solve a generic problem instead of a specific, recurring one. A useful tool does one job reliably: it runs on a schedule, processes information, and delivers a result without you touching it. It’s the difference between asking ChatGPT a question and having an automation scan ten websites at 8am and email you a summary. ...

AI Music: How I Made an Album Without Knowing Theory

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I can’t play guitar. I can’t read music. I took piano lessons for three weeks when I was 12 and quit because I couldn’t figure out what “allegro” meant. Last weekend I made an album. Seven tracks. Vocals, instruments, production. The whole thing. ...

Build your own AI chatbot in 30 minutes

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. How do you build an AI chatbot without writing code? You pick a no-code tool, feed it your content, and embed the result on your site.

A 2024 survey by Drift found that 55% of companies using chatbots generate more high-quality leads, which explains why these tools have moved from “nice to have” to standard kit for small businesses. ...

GitHub is not scary — 5-minute intro

GitHub is not scary — 5-minute intro I avoided GitHub for years. Every time someone mentioned it, my brain shut down. Repositories. Branches. Pull requests. It sounded like a foreign language designed to make me feel stupid. Then I actually used it. And it’s not that complicated. What GitHub actually is Forget the jargon. Here’s what GitHub really is: It’s Google Drive for your projects. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. ...

What is AI Actually? No Jargon Explained

I’m going to explain AI the way I wish someone had explained it to me. Not with diagrams of neural networks. Not with math equations. Not with buzzwords. Just what it is. What it does. And why you should care. AI is a pattern machine That’s it. That’s the whole thing. AI looks at massive amounts of data — text, images, code, whatever — and finds patterns.
