You a sucker if you give up, its too many people trying!

Claude thinks. Obsidian remembers. Hermes acts. Kimi finds. Cursor builds.Five tools.

Five distinct capabilities. None of them redundant.

One coordinated stack that compounds every layer into the next.

The full build with exact prompts and setups is in the article.

Weirdest thing i've seen so far helping grow notesbot:
a D&D group uses it to auto-generate session recaps from their voice channels. the bot was built for startup standups, but people just kept using it for their own thing.

Best products get hijacked into use cases the founder never imagined.

1,300+ servers now.

[Ace 🕯️ @Thermonukeclear]

Everyone i know has walked out of a call unable to remember what was decided.

The action items that were "obvious in the moment" but somehow nobody wrote down. the thing one person insists was agreed on and three others swear wasn't. the 45 minutes you spend later scrubbing a recording for one sentence.

My friend built a discord bot that fixes this. it joins your voice channel, listens, and sends a summary + action items + full transcript after the call. 1,300+ servers use it. 2,000+ hours transcribed a month.
he asked me to help him grow it. said yes. starting tomorrow.

Will share more on what works, what doesn't, and the number at the bottom of the page every week.

buy claude premium, select opus, and ask claude to give you a detailed breakdown of how you can use Al to stay ahead in your field, what digital products or services to sell and how to make a lot of money with it; no fluff pure value. try it and thank me later

How to get luckier in life:

It's no surprise the "luckiest" people know everyone, are always out of the house, expressing themselves, always happy & having fun

If you want to get lucky, make yourself easy for luck to find.

Expand your surface area for luck: Leave the house. Talk to strangers. Express who you are and where you are going.

Make yourself easy to find.

there's fuck you money, but then there is fuck you skills. you can be so skilled that you don't actually have to care about what people think. you'll be fine no matter what

How to become an AI Automation Engineer in the next 6 months:

By the end, you want to be able to:

- build end-to-end automated workflows for real businesses
- connect AI to the tools companies already use (CRM, email, docs, support)
- replace repetitive human tasks with reliable AI systems
- charge clients $500–5k/mo and deliver real ROI

So, let's discuss your roadmap month by month

Month 1: Get your foundation right

What to learn:

- Python basics (you don't need to be a senior dev, just functional)
- how APIs work (HTTP, JSON, auth, webhooks)
- no-code/low-code tools: Make, n8n, Zapier (pick one and go deep)
- how to read API docs and connect two tools together
- basic prompt engineering (inputs, outputs, instructions)
- what LLMs are good at vs. what they're not

Your first project: automate something in your own life with Make or n8n

Month 2: Master AI + workflow automation

What to learn:

- OpenAI / Anthropic API basics (completions, system prompts, structured outputs)
- how to embed AI into a workflow (not just use ChatGPT manually)
- function/tool calling (how AI decides what action to take)
- chaining steps: trigger → AI decision → action → output
- error handling and fallback logic
- cost awareness (tokens, API pricing, when AI is overkill)

Your project: build an AI workflow that reads an email, classifies it, and routes it automatically

Month 3: Build the core automation use cases

What to learn:

- lead generation automation (scraping, enrichment, outreach sequencing)
- AI-powered cold outreach (personalization at scale)
- CRM automation (auto-update fields, log calls, create tasks)
- content pipelines (brief → draft → format → publish)
- meeting automation (transcript → summary → action items → CRM entry)
- internal knowledge bots (connect docs/Notion/Drive to a Q&A interface)

Your project: build a full lead gen → outreach → CRM pipeline for a fake or real client

Month 4: AI agents and multi-step systems

What to learn:

- what agents actually are
- when to use agents vs. simple chains
- tool selection and routing logic
- state management across steps
- human-in-the-loop checkpoints
- how to make agents reliable (retries, fallbacks, logging)
- multi-agent setups (when one agent hands off to another)

Your project: build a support agent that handles tier-1 tickets, escalates edge cases, and logs everything

Month 5: Make it production-ready and sellable

What to learn:

- how to deploy workflows (n8n self-hosted, Make teams, custom Python + FastAPI)
- logging and observability (know when something breaks before your client does)
- prompt versioning (don't change prompts randomly in live systems)
- security basics (API keys, access control, no exposed credentials)
- how to handle rate limits, retries, and downtime gracefully
- how to document and hand off a system to a non-technical client
- basic SLAs (uptime, response time, what you're responsible for)

Your project: take one of your month 3-4 builds and make it client-ready with docs, monitoring, and a clean handoff

Month 6: Specialize, get clients, and start charging

The skills you have now can go in three directions, pick one and go all in on outreach and portfolio

Direction 1: Freelance automation builder

Best if you want clients fast and income in 30-60 days

Focus on:

- 2-3 repeatable workflow templates (lead gen, support bot, content pipeline)
- a simple case study for each
- outreach to SMBs, agencies, coaches, SaaS founders
- charge $500-2k/project to start, then move to retainers

Direction 2: In-house automation engineer

Best if you want stability and to work inside one company

Focus on:

- ops and internal tooling use cases
- connecting AI to existing company stack (Slack, Notion, HubSpot, etc.)
- building internal agents and dashboards
- showing measurable time/cost savings

Direction 3: AI automation agency

Best if you want to scale beyond trading time for money

Focus on:

- building a repeatable service with clear deliverables
- hiring or partnering to fulfill
- niching down by industry (e.g. real estate, e-commerce, recruiting)
- productizing workflows into templates you sell or license

as always, the more practice you have, the better. The same applies to AI engineering

to be honest, right now I'm preparing three articles at once, working on them 24/7, each with curated resource lists for every point so you don't have to search for everything yourself

one article will cover resources to become an AI engineer

the second one will cover resources to become an AI automation engineer

the third one will stay a secret for now… but I promise it will be something very useful

follow and turn on notifications so you don't miss it

I really appreciate your support, see the feedback, and it motivates me to create even better content for you

sometimes even at the cost of my own personal progress

but once these articles are finished, we'll move to a new level of learning AI

[brigitté🪽 @iamallthatis_]

now take this information and flip it. constantly pointing out the things you are grateful for can train your brain to notice more things to be grateful for. constantly noticing abundance will train your brain to notice even more abundance. flip the script & stay in control.

Realized life is all just a big game

None of us are getting out of here alive so I just vowed to not only play it, but more importantly have fun playing it

I’d take chances, express love, be present, go for it, make the memories, take the trips, & enjoy the ride

As @naval said: “go big…because we all go home”

[Ronin @DeRonin_]

"$5k value course on AI Engineering was leaked"

that's the only 1 article you need to:

> go from zero to AI engineer in 6 months
> land a $150k+ job or freelance at $150-300/hr
> build real AI apps, agents, and automations
> stop learning, start shipping, start earning

Growth isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s just quietly refusing to be the same person you were a year ago.
