The internet is awesome. "Prestige World Wide ... Wide.. Wide..." Make's me think of this scene from Step Brothers TAP IN BELOW: Which one of those black numbered dot thingys is you? 👇

I posted most of this on Clief Notes a few days ago, but my ‘win’ is equally down to what I’ve learned here from @Ry Mac so it should be in here as well. If it helps anyone in anyway, that’s great and if there are any questions, shoot… I look after the finances for 2 small companies. One is a street food business that adores ICM even though they have no clue what it is and have even heard the term. They don’t pay me any extra for doing this, but I get to play with all their data to see what we can create with it. I’m probably like a lot of people in here, I can see the potential that ICM offers but haven’t figured out how to make it pay me yet - I’ve kinda got the Build part, need to focus on Market/Close 😁 The first process I automated was a production sheet for the kitchen. The old way… Email orders arrived and the products, production dates, and purchase order numbers were manually entered into the sheet. This sheet became the source of truth that the Invoices and shipping labels were created from and for the amount of product to make each week. About 50 customers, ~100 orders per week, and 1000’s of data points all being manually entered into an Excel sheet. Invoices were created manually, as were the shipping labels. This was not just time-consuming, it also resulted in a ton of mistakes being made every week. The new way… Email orders arrive, and go into their weekly folder. Claude reads them and creates the production sheet. When needed, it spits out CSVs that get uploaded to our CRM to create the invoices and labels. The old way took 2 full days for someone to complete, a lot of that time was spent unpicking the mistakes that got spotted then editing invoices, labels etc. we didn’t spot them all though and lots of them still got through. The new way takes less than 1 hour per week and we’ve had only 1 mistake in the last 4 months. That was down to a human (me) losing an email. We’re introducing other tools as well, a time/vacation tool that keeps track of everything for our payroll. An ingredients/recipe tool that tells the kitchen what it needs to buy to fulfil orders and how much it can spend. And others…

The biggest thing I am seeing with ICM is people are overwhelmed staring at blank text files. So I've filled in half of a workflow for a website build... Claude.md filled in Context.md doneski' Folders and workflow built Content done You just just need to finish the project. Then you can tell it MAKE-IT-MINE and it'll be your own ICM Folder workflow and replace all the "dummy" info in it. It'll be free. It'll be something you won't have to guess. You can't point your AI at it and get to work. Standby.

I’ve been testing various skills on my Video Worker, which is part of a larger ICM-based Suite I’ve been building over the last few weeks. The idea started with a question: "Can I take the power of an ICM workspace and make it genuinely useful to someone who has no interest in becoming technical?" I had already built a collection of workers for myself — Conductor, Research, Writing, Transcription, Design, Builder, Video and Marketing. They grew out of my own needs as a teacher and content creator. Over time, I realized the real value wasn't any individual worker. It was that they shared context. Research could inform the Writer. The Writer could feed Design. A transcript could become content. Video could work from the same source material. Marketing could understand what had actually been created rather than starting from a generic prompt. The problem was that the architecture that made this possible was also the thing most non-technical users would never want to deal with. So I built a GUI over it and called it Quiet Scribe. The organizing concept is a nonfiction book. Not because everyone necessarily wants to become an author, but because a book is a great way to force knowledge into structure. Once that knowledge is captured and organized, the same context can become articles, posts, visuals, videos, a course, a website, or marketing material. My first demo failed pretty badly. 😂 The interface looked great, but exposing the workers through the GUI revealed architectural gaps I hadn't noticed while using them directly. That sent me into three days of auditing the workers: folder structures, instructions, retained context, unfinished changes, handoffs, and things we'd learned through use that had never made it back into the architecture. The second demo was probably 80% better. More interestingly, improving the underlying architecture improved what the workers could do together. The Video Worker in this clip, for example, can now take a long demo/transcript, work from timestamps, identify different storylines, and develop shorter video treatments from the source material.

Yo! Drop your intro below. Where you're from and what whiz-bang(s) you have...or want to build, or don't have. Everyone is in different stages of life, business, etc. I'd like to get to know you. You will come to find out that I really enjoy hearing what you're up too. I'm always fascinated with the things humans can do and I want to know more about you Last question: Can you can triple stamp a double stamp?
