Asked AI to research newsletter on Methylene Blue based on a recent YouTube video I saw about brain health. Here was the topic prompt: The benefits of Methylene Blue and who the best suppliers are. Please be sure to include: - dosage per pound of body weight - suggested daily usage - any recommended cycling patterns (x days on, y days off). - Swapped out Key.ai for Higgsfield.ai where I already had an account - Initial prompt guardrails weren't tight enough so I re-wrote them to ensure topic input was properly handled by Perplexity - Higgsfield made a terrible infographic. Switched to Claude HTML > Playwright > Image for infographic and Higgsfield for images without words. - Had Claude translate PDF brand guidelines into md so they were more easily machine-readible in the future. - Added html preview via GitHub so I could share here. Fun quick project. https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://gist.githubusercontent.com/academik/f63410859b9b6bd8f11a669a6d5849d9/raw/newsletter_email.html

Quick question: are tools like Trigger.dev, Firecrawl, and similar paid services really necessary from the start, or are there good free alternatives? I’m currently doing the 7 Day AIS Challenge and planning to upgrade to Community Plus, but I’m already paying for Claude Code Max and don’t have clients yet. I’d prefer to add more paid tools only once I start closing some contracts. Any advice would be appreciated 🫶🏻

I sat down with Devin Kearns, co-founder & CEO of Custom AI Studio, to break down what it actually takes to build an AI agency with real enterprise value, not just another lifestyle business. We get into why most AI work being sold today won't survive 2027, why the mid-market is the prime opportunity (not SMBs or enterprises), the 11 ways AI experts are actually making money right now, how to position with frameworks instead of being just another vendor, and the five things Devin wishes he knew sooner. If you're building, running, or thinking about starting an AI agency, this is the strategic conversation I wish I'd had two years ago.

I’ve been watching our 3,700 students in AIS+, and I noticed the people making the most money are all doing this: https://app.aiautomationsociety.ai/10-hours The people charging $5,000, $10,000, even $50,000 per engagement weren't better builders. Before they ever opened n8n/Claude Code, they did one thing differently: → They found the automations worth building first. It’s like a mini audit. Just by asking a few questions and mapping out the opportunities, they were able to get clients excited and also choose the right projects to work on. And the best part is you can practice by running this same system on YOURSELF. I call it 10 Hours to 10 Seconds, because doing this can easily save you or your clients 10 hours a week by automating the right things.

You can find it in the classroom

Just dropped a new course in the classroom and I'm pretty pumped about this one. It's the full step-by-step on building your own AI OS. Same exact setup I use every day to run the YouTube channel, the community, and my team. 8 lessons, all my templates and prompts, plus a free GitHub repo so you can skip the boring setup and just start building. To unlock it in the classroom, you just need to hit level 3 in the community. Honestly pretty easy: - Drop an intro post if you haven't yet - Engage with a few other members in the threads - Help somebody out who's stuck on something That's pretty much it. Get to level 3 and the whole thing opens up. See you in there. - Nate
