Well well well...

What shall I have them do together? 🤔

I used a tool to use a tool to build a tool to build something. Winning.

Created an account long a long time ago... but focused on other platforms... 🤦‍♂️

Well, I'm here now haha

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

Nobody's teaching you how to build a real product with AI.

They're selling you courses about it.

I'm a single dad who lost everything, found AI, and started building in public from scratch.

Four products in. Shipping more.

If you want to watch someone actually do the work instead of talk about it... follow along.

1. Atlassian just cut 1,600 engineers. Five months ago their CEO said they'd hire MORE.

Stock went up 4% on the news.

5. One person can out-ship a funded startup in 2026.

Not because they're smarter.

Because the tools caught up and the overhead didn't...

[Nathan Earl @TheNathanEarl]

Workflow it replaced:

1. import audio
2. cut visuals
3. loop background
4. animate motion
5. adjust fades
6. export

Now it's literally one button.

I built an video studio tool that auto-generates music videos...

Drop in:

• as many songs as you want
• a background visual (Image or loopable video)

It will automatically:

• extend/loop the visual to match total video length
• apply motion effects (Optional)
• smooth audio transitions between songs
• render the final video

Basically a one-click music video generator.

Built with FFmpeg.

Should I open source it?

If anyone is doing YouTube Music channels, this is what I built it for.

Just comment and let me know if you want it or want something added to it as well.

@TheEllaSway Haha right? Cool times we live in

[Nathan Earl @TheNathanEarl]

I've built 2 working Chrome Extensions and 3 plugins this week for different software to make my life so much easier with daily work/hobbies.

I use both Codex 5.4 and Claude Code.

With proper Agent.md and setup, you can build almost anything.

My mind is blown.

[Nathan Earl @TheNathanEarl]

@TheEllaSway Hey, those look awesome! I been thinking about doing the AI Integration agency thing... I just used to grind out clients, and that's my least favorite part. haha

I may do something similar, it's a good opportunity, but I'm enjoying just building for fun for right now. Well done!

[Nathan Earl @TheNathanEarl]

Absolutely. It's not a plug-and-play system... Yet.

But, with a few refinements, I'm getting my agents very on-point.

The main disconnect I've found is just understanding that they have to communicate to the software through XYZ system. But once it gets that, it's crazy how much it can do already.

Give it a few months and some new advances in agent models, and people are going to be doing solo studios and enterprise level setups.

The opportunity is insane for those who make it work.

[Nathan Earl @TheNathanEarl]

AI agents are about to run your software.

Most people haven’t realized this yet.

Nearly every modern app supports plug-ins or APIs.

Which means tools like Claude Code or Codex can create connectors that let your AI operate software for you.

Email.
CRMs.
Design tools.
Dev environments.

AI isn’t just answering questions anymore.

It’s starting to run the tools.

What would you automate first?

[Nathan Earl @TheNathanEarl]

@TheEllaSway For real. What you been working on? If I can ask haha
