I was supposed to be doing something productive. Instead I watched Mark Kashef's video on combining Claude Code agent teams with Nano Banana and thought "I could set that up right now." as I seem to have a habit of doing! 15 minutes later, I had a working agent team generating scored image variants for a workplace mental health graphic. The screenshot below shows the critic agent's ranked output. For anyone unfamiliar, the approach comes from a Google research paper called Paper Banana. The core idea is treating image generation like a design agency: a research agent analyses reference images, a prompt architect creates narrative prompts, a generator calls the Gemini API, and a critic agent scores the results on faithfulness, readability, conciseness, and visual appeal. Then it iterates. What impressed me was the critique loop. Instead of generating one image and hoping for the best, the system produces multiple variants and ranks them against defined criteria. That is genuinely useful for someone without design skills who still needs professional-looking materials. It needs fine tuning for my specific use case, but the foundation is solid. I find with these things that if I do not set them up while I have the headspace, they never get done. So down the rabbit hole I went. Full credit to Mark Kashef for the walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGfQV4s1MgE Ryan has had Mark on his channel before so I suspect this will not be entirely unfamiliar territory. But if you have not seen agent teams used for image generation with a built-in feedback loop, it is worth 14 minutes of your time.

People talk about AI saving time, but it can be hard to picture what that means day to day. Here is what one day actually looked like for me. Using Claude Code through VS Code, and in between marking course assessments, I have: Built a new campaign landing page from scratch. Then created a full campaign outline with step-by-step tasks, some of which Claude can execute directly with my oversight. Restructured my Airtable CRM. Not just tidying fields. Claude suggested better ways to connect contacts, companies, enquiries, and events together, then built the formulas, rollups, and relationships to make it work. This is the kind of structural thinking that would normally need a consultant or developer. Built a full automation logging and monitoring system across my n8n workflows. Every workflow now logs success or failure to Airtable automatically, with an error catcher and a daily summary email. I went from hoping my automations were running to actually knowing. None of this was copy-paste prompting. It was collaborative. Claude suggested approaches, I pushed back or redirected, and we iterated. Some things took multiple attempts. But the volume of meaningful work completed in a single day would have taken me weeks working alone or cost thousands in consultant time. For anyone still thinking about trying Claude Code: it is not a chatbot that writes blog posts. It is a working partner that builds real systems. The more I keep using it, the better it gets.

In my latest video I interview Gael Breton, who is the co-founder of Authority Hacker and one of the smartest AI marketers I know. Gael exposes the hype around ClawdBot/Moltbot/OpenClaw, and Moltbook. We also break down the security risks of proactive AI agents, and why Claude Code is a better alternative for marketers.

Wow, Claude code is fantastic! This truly is a game changer for entrepreneurs. With it you can automate so much of your workflows and create tools so easily. I just created a tool that will help edit my videos faster. When I record videos I record audio in the camera and also in H5 Audio recorder (better audio quality + recordings settings camera doesn't have). And the point is to replace Cara Audio track with H5 audio track. When I record from scripts I usually speak out 1-2 sentences, few times, until I get it right and that makes one clip. The whole video might have anywhere from 5-9 clips. So when I edit the videos manually it's a pain in the 🍑because for each clip I have to: - First isolate the last speech block (the best version of sentence pronunciation) for Camera track (blue) and H5 audio track (green) - Then once I have that isolated I have to sync the H5 audio with the camera audio so it matches the video perfectly - Next I have to time the edges so there is the right amount of silence between clips so it sounds natural as if I'm speaking continually. - Do all that for every single video clip - Finally stitch them together to make one video So this tool makes it easy :). All ihave to do is import all the files at once. Set a desired output file name. Can pick whether I want each clip be saved separately, stitched in one or both versions. Plus I can adjust how much silence padding I want. Then just click Run and it does it all for me and saves all the files in the output folder. Anyway, this app is incredible. So many open possibilities with it so I thought I'd share. Can't wait to create more! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
