Building PlanningPing โ a tool that tracks UK planning applications and scores them for relevance to civil engineering firms, so BD teams find live opportunities before their competitors.
Solo. Next.js + Supabase, scraping council portals that really don't want to be scraped.
Going to build the rest in public. Here's where I'm at ๐
@BraedendotTECH i think so, just the basics so that you can actually understand what your agent is doing and so you can understand the fundamental concepts.
But of course with the rate in which Ai is progressing at now, you definitely don't require a full set of skills to write your own code.
Claude Sonnet 5 shipped this week โ and it's cheaper than the model it replaces.
Most people see a model release. I see my biggest cost getting smaller.
Building agents solo, tokens are the whole ballgame. More capable + cheaper to run means the automations I ship for clients finally pencil out at prices that work.
Cheaper frontier models don't just help big labs. They quietly change what a one-person studio can ship.
im 17 trying to be the first millionaire in my family (i know, how generic)
ive built multiple saas products such as Align, my posture tracking and scoring app, Planning Ping, my current high hopes project that tracks UK planning applications for property developers or civil engineers. and a load more.
That's the easy part. ive never managed to ship the products i make. i do outreach, but no one replies or answers follow up calls. and i was wondering, am i missing a trick?
Spent 5 hours discovering that half the UK's council planning portals block datacenter IPs.
Migrated my scraper to a VPS, then hit a wall on POST requests with ScraperAPI.
Fix turned out to be residential proxies.
Geopolitical AI race heats up โ A major U.S. congressional advisory body just warned that China's dominance in open-source AI is creating a "self-reinforcing competitive advantage." Despite U.S. chip export restrictions, Chinese models are pulling ahead in data collection, physical-world AI (robotics/humanoids), and low-cost deployment. Some Western companies are already quietly preferring these cheaper alternatives. Beijing is positioned to dominate the shift toward embodied AI agents that interact with the real world. Meanwhile, the White House's new National AI Policy Framework (unveiled last week but still the hot topic) pushes for federal preemption of state AI laws to accelerate U.S. innovation and "beat China." It includes child safeguards and energy consumer protections, but critics (including free speech experts) slam it as too industry-friendly and light on real oversight โ basically a blueprint for business-as-usual while overriding state-level experiments. The tension between speed, security, and regulation is boiling over.

Morgan Stanley warns: Transformative AI leap coming FIRST HALF of 2026 ๐
Labs stacking insane compute โ 10x more could double 'intelligence.' OpenAI's new GPT-5.4 Thinking already at human-expert level on GDPVal (83%) & crushing coding benchmarks.
The curve is steepening FAST. #AI #FutureTech
GPT-5.4 drops March 5: Pro version for max performance, native computer control, 1M+ context, tool search slashing token use by 47%.
But energy crunch is real โ Dan Ives says power shortages now the #1 bottleneck to the AI revolution. Nuclear incoming? โก
AI this week feels different.
โข Nvidia is doubling down on AI infrastructure
โข Tesla is building its own AI chip factory
โข New models are dropping almost every few days
This isnโt just progress.
It feels like a full-scale infrastructure race now.
as well as estate agencies benefitting from our agency...
we also build and design the full front end UI and the backend for any business.
please get in touch for more details.
Estate agents are running ยฃmillions through spreadsheets and guesswork.
In 2026.
I built a system that:
โข filters serious buyers/sellers instantly
โข suggests pricing
โข removes the back-and-forth
Takes seconds.
โdemoโ if you want to see it ๐
estate agents- i just lauched a dashboard whre you can view all you quotes and leads in one place
AI also does all the quote estimating for you.
