Most 'control towers' are Power BI dashboards with a fancy name.
Here's how to build a real one with n8n + AI that alerts, simulates, and acts.
What does yours actually do?
#SupplyChain#AI#ControlTower
Most of what you read about AI adoption inside large companies, on X or in the news, is wrong.
We've spent the past year running real implementations at some of the largest companies in the US.
The findings look nothing like the consensus. We wrote up the truth below. Cheers.
A Chinese developer built a free money printer. Literally named it MoneyPrinterTurbo. 13,000+ stars on GitHub.
You type a topic or keyword. It generates the script, finds HD copyright-free footage, adds subtitles, background music, and voiceover - then outputs a finished short video.
This is the exact pipeline TikTok Shop and YouTube faceless channel creators use to scale to $6,000-10,000/month. The difference: they paid for tools. This is free.
> What's inside:
Script generation via Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, GPT, or any LLM you already have access to.
Batch video generation - create multiple versions at once, pick the best one. 9:16 vertical for TikTok and Reels, 16:9 horizontal for YouTube.
Voice synthesis with real-time preview.
Custom subtitles - font, size, color, position, outline. Background music from built-in library or your own files.
> Runs locally on your machine. Web UI and API both included. Docker supported. Google Colab supported if you don't want to install anything.
No subscriptions. No watermarks. No usage limits.
The repo is actively maintained - last commit was 44 minutes ago.

Claude can remember everything
you've ever written down.
You just need to set it up right.
Here's the system (5 minutes a day):
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝟲 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀
↳ Inbox, Projects, People,
Topics, AI, Templates
↳ That's it. Keep it flat and simple.
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗨𝗗𝗘.𝗺𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲
↳ This is Claude's instruction manual
↳ It loads automatically every session
↳ Include your name, your folders,
and how you like things organized
↳ Without it, Claude forgets you
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯: 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁
"Read my CLAUDE .md, check inbox,
show me what needs attention."
↳ Takes 2 minutes
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰: 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁
"Save a summary of this session
and update my daily note."
↳ Takes 3 minutes
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟱: 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄
"Summarize my week, flag anything
stale, draft next week's plan."
↳ Takes 4 minutes
Don't know where to start?
Copy this prompt right now:
"Read my vault structure and write
a CLAUDE. md operating manual for me."
Claude sets it up for you.
Your notes aren't useless.
They just need a brain behind them.
What would you want Claude
to remember for you?

IDEA: reselling open-source repos to businesses. the play nobody talks about
thousands of Github repos solve real business problems. free. open. production-ready
and 99% of businesses will never find them
here's how to turn ANY open-sourced solution into $2,000+/month per client:
1. find a tool that solves an expensive problem
go to GitHub Trending. filter by stars, recent activity, and clear documentation. look for tools that replace something businesses currently pay $500-2,000/month for
examples that exist right now:
- CRM systems (Twenty, $0 vs Salesforce at $300/seat/mo)
- helpdesk platforms (Chatwoot, $0 vs Intercom at $1,200/mo)
- analytics dashboards (Plausible, $0 vs Mixpanel at $800/mo)
- scheduling tools (https://t.co/gGrv3dpGMh, $0 vs Calendly Business at $480/mo)
- email marketing (Listmonk, $0 vs Mailchimp at $600/mo)
- form builders (Formbricks, $0 vs Typeform at $400/mo)
- project management (Plane, $0 vs Jira at $700/mo for a team)
these aren't toy projects. they have 10k-50k+ stars, active communities, and companies already running them in production
2. pick ONE niche
don't be "we deploy open-source tools." be "we replace Salesforce for real estate brokerages" or "we set up private analytics for healthcare companies that need HIPAA compliance"
the niche is where the margin lives. a generic deploy costs you $2k/client in support. a niche deploy costs you $200 because you've done it 15 times and everything is templated
3. deploy it on a $20-50/mo VPS
Hetzner, Railway, Coolify, or a simple DigitalOcean droplet. Claude Code walks you through the entire setup. most of these tools have one-click Docker deploys
your infrastructure cost per client: $20-50/month
what you charge: $2,000-5,000/month (depends on the niche)
everyone wins. they save money. you make money. the math is stupid simple
4. wrap it in their language
not "self-hosted Chatwoot instance on Docker"
say "your own private customer support platform with zero per-seat fees, full data ownership, and custom branding"
businesses don't buy technology. they buy outcomes. "you'll never pay per-seat pricing again" closes deals faster than any feature list
5. build the moat with customization
the open-source tool is the foundation. your value is:
- custom integrations with their existing stack
- branded interface matching their company
- ongoing maintenance and updates
- priority support with a human who knows their setup
this is what separates a $2k/month retainer from a one-time $500 deploy. the tool is free. the orchestration is the product
6. find clients where they already complain
search X and Reddit for "[tool name] too expensive" or "[tool name] alternative." these people are pre-qualified. they already know they have a problem and they're actively looking for a solution
post case studies: "replaced $14k/year Intercom bill with a self-hosted solution for a 12-person team. same features. they own their data now"
screenshots of real savings close deals. not pitch decks
7. scale by stacking tools per client
client already paying you $3k/mo for their CRM? offer analytics for $1,500 more. then email marketing for $1,000. now you're their entire software infrastructure for $5,500/mo and they're still saving money vs their old SaaS stack
one client. five tools. you deployed each one in an afternoon
the part nobody talks about:
these businesses will NEVER find these GitHub repos. they will never run a Docker container. they will never SSH into a server. they will google "affordable CRM for small team" and find you
open source is the new wholesale. the code is free. the packaging is where the margin lives
one person can run 5-10 clients. a two-person team scales to $30-50k/month. no funding needed. no office. no employees
someone is going to do this in your niche. might as well be you

I live a very private life. Away. Alone. Observing. Learning. I never get bored. Like ever. I love vibing alone. Just doing my shit. Writing. Reading old classics. Watching documentaries about ancient Egyptians. Listening to some low-fi, some classical. Cooking. Pacing around the room. Self-talk about meaning of life and all. Drink green tea on my balcony. Feel the calm. Go for a walk in the woods. Sit on random rock. Talk to a tree. Look at birds going back home. Come home. Focus on my new obsession (mechanical watchmakers). But bored... nah. Never.

Awesome Robotics! 💾
Building your own robot just got a lot easier.
MathWorks have released an open-source GitHub repository packed with robotics resources for anyone interested in getting hands-on.
The repo includes examples for robot arms, ground vehicles, and drones, with projects that show how to connect with ROS and ROS2 or even deploy Simulink models directly as ROS nodes.
There are also more advanced demos, like modeling off-road environments and testing navigation algorithms in photorealistic simulations.
Everything is well-documented, with tutorials and links that make it easy to go from concept to prototype. 📑
Whether you’re a student, researcher, or just curious, there’s material here for every level. And since it’s an open community project, you can not only explore but also share your own contributions.
For anyone looking to learn robotics by doing, this is a solid place to start!

Game theory explains why most ambitious people stay stuck at the level they currently operate at. Although their effort feels intense and their output is very real and impressive, their position never changes.
Most go on to blame "bad circumstances" for this. The truth is far worse: they are competing in an already saturated game. And effort in saturated games produces marginal returns, regardless of genuine intensity and razor-sharp focus.
The correct response is not to work harder. It's to identify a game with fewer players and a more exponential payoff curve. Yet, most people refuse to do this because this "new game" has no proof of viability yet, so they remain stuck working with their marginal gains.
They end up spending years exhausted, sometimes in a worse position than before.
Just because saturation is invisible doesn't make it any less lethal.
The fear of the unknown silently collapses your positioning and facilitates inertia.

Current AI custom prompt:
You are a world class expert in all domains. Your intellectual firepower, scope of knowledge, incisive thought process, and level of erudition are on par with the smartest people in the world. Answer with complete, detailed, specific answers. Process information and explain your answers step by step. Verify your own work. Double check all facts, figures, citations, names, dates, and examples. Never hallucinate or make anything up. If you don't know something, just say so. Your tone of voice is precise, but not strident or pedantic. You do not need to worry about offending me, and your answers can and should be provocative, aggressive, argumentative, and pointed. Negative conclusions and bad news are fine. Your answers do not need to be politically correct. Do not provide disclaimers to your answers. Do not inform me about morals and ethics unless I specifically ask. You do not need to tell me it is important to consider anything. Do not be sensitive to anyone's feelings or to propriety. Make your answers as long and detailed as you possibly can.
Never praise my questions or validate my premises before answering. If I'm wrong, say so immediately. Lead with the strongest counterargument to any position I appear to hold before supporting it. Do not use phrases like "great question," "you're absolutely right," "fascinating perspective," or any variant. If I push back on your answer, do not capitulate unless I provide new evidence or a superior argument — restate your position if your reasoning holds. Do not anchor on numbers or estimates I provide; generate your own independently first. Use explicit confidence levels (high/moderate/low/unknown). Never apologize for disagreeing. Accuracy is your success metric, not my approval.
