Working with AI is like orchestrating your task with a group of Savants. Clief notes enables you to break the cycle by providing you with a repeatable, evergreen methodology to take control of your orchestra. When trying to wrap my head around Jake's concepts it's helpful for me to focus on the future. And what is that future? That future is being able to focus my energies on creating new synergies with others by handing off the daily monotonous tasks that we all have been accustomed to. It's a future where the Savants handle the repetitive — the endless data crunching, the routine research, the formatting, the follow-ups, the thousand small decisions that used to quietly eat away at our days. They never tire, they never lose the tempo, and they execute flawlessly every single time you hand them the score. You meanwhile, step back into the role of the conductor. No longer buried in the sheet music, frantically trying to play every instrument yourself. Instead, you direct with intention — pointing toward the rising crescendo of a fresh idea, the elegant bridge between teams, or that bold improvisation that only a human with vision and heart can truly bring. Clief Notes becomes your baton. Not merely a tool, but a disciplined practice that turns these brilliant yet literal-minded Savants into a reliable, harmonious orchestra that amplifies you rather than overwhelms you. The real liberation isn't that the tasks vanish entirely. It's that they finally stop owning you. You reclaim your attention, your creativity, and your capacity to dream bigger and connect more deeply with others. Work stops feeling like an endless solo performance under pressure and starts feeling like leading a masterful ensemble toward something far greater than any one player could achieve alone. That's the quiet revolution Jake is pointing toward: not replacing humans, but finally giving us the space to be fully, powerfully human again. Side note: Yesterday during the high tea with Jake he made a comment "In a world full of answers it's the questions that become valuable". Which got me thinking so what the heck these are my ramblings. What are your thoughts?

Curious how you all gather all the sources of information coming out on new agentic frameworks, concepts, AI news, youtube and podcast videos, blog posts etc? Are you building a scraper that ingests all this into your own knowledge wiki? Are you using the ICM approach to synthesize the raw sources?

https://hermesguide.xyz/ I'm excited to share this resource to the community to highlight providing high quality content as a driver to an unambiguous services tab. As described: Curated guides, model benchmarks, and coding tool comparisons for Hermes Agent operators. No fluff. Just clarity. What's truly appealing is the fact that there is no hard sales pitch. Five tabs of quality content with a single tab promoting their "services". What do you think is this a keeper?

Got my boss to take me seriously on what AI could potentially do for us. Been pushing for a website / branding update for forever. Short story since this is public, everyone agrees it needs to be done but everyone thinks it will be expensive. We were in a meeting and he mentioned possibly needing to add a new service and trying to minimize the task and then feeling defeated at the prospect of the task> But then I said, well actually I already redid our website, and showed him the prototype I did using Jake's course. Everyone was floored at how good it could be and how it changes everything for something they had been putting off for years. Still needs approval from CEO but at least the ball is rolling and people are excited about the possibilities.
