I just want to thank @Jake Van Clief for this community. So, I just made my first animated video and it's not perfect but I love it the same way a kid loves their lovey even when it's dirty and damaged!! I animated a song I wrote yesterday as I was wondering if it was possible to be authentic on social media, in general, but mostly for me. I was thinking how winning just looks like passing for me. I truly do not like to follow the crowd but when it feels like that's your only option, well you get...me: Trying to make money doing what everyone else is doing, but getting paralyzed because it doesn't align with my principles and values. Not to mention the fear of vulnerability and all the other fears that are involved. Anyway, that brought me to writing these lyrics and using hookpad to do the piano and melody. Then I sent it over to Suno for a quick demo with the AI voice modeled after me. I had a vision for the video and this video comes close so I am pretty stoked by it. It's just a rough draft as I intend to sing the song myself, but I really wanted something to post in the community 😅. This is going to be a part of my YouTube studio automation which I began building out over the weekend. It starts from a seed which comes from my chats with both Claude and Chatgpt, which Claude puts into a file for me. Either I pick the seed/topic or Claude will based on my current journey and interests. It then gives me some keywords and does a keyword search using the Eden.so MCP and it uses my own reasoning tools to analyze the scripts from YouTube or wherever and finding my gap. Where I fit in based on who I am which Claude has access to stuff but I also gave it that md file on me. Anyway, once we determine my gap and it searches for anything I have already said on the subject and gets my interview. It gives me a template and then writes the script for me based on my voice profile and thr YouTube script analysis I have already had it do.

Hey everyone! I'm Joshua and I'm very happy to have found this group. 🙋 A little about me: Artist at heart, habitual DIY remodeler, and newly fantasy fiction reader (fresh off The Name of the Wind). While I’ve spent years building physical things with my hands, I’m diving headfirst into building and shipping my own digital ideas. 🎯 My current goal: Getting an efficient creative stack dialed in so I have the structure to focus entirely on personal creative output. 💪 What I'm currently building/working on: Drafting my first novel, while concurrently building an app that maps Human Design profiles and archetypes into D&D-style character frameworks. 🤔 My biggest struggle or question right now: Moving past piecemeal chat-window prompting into a sustainable, multi-file developer baseline. I love the leverage AI gives to someone with frontend experience, but I need the right toolchain and scaffolding so I’m not constantly stitching copied snippets together. Let's get it! 🚀

Hey everyone, I just unlocked The Vault and I'm excited to dig in. I'm currently in the setup phase on my Mac Mini, working on getting a clean file structure and local environment dialed in so I can break out of the chatbot copy-paste loop and start building out my first app. What really drew me here was the combination of the templates and the Discord community—having solid boilerplates and an active network of builders so I don't have to reinvent the wheel. Over the next month, I'm hoping to lock down that foundational dev baseline and get the working core of my app off the ground. If anyone has tips on file organization or setting up a frictionless local AI workflow on Mac, I'd love to hear how you approached it. And creators — if there's something you think The Vault is missing for builders like me, let me know what would help.

Over the past few days, I’ve had some fascinating conversations here in this community, including a private chat with @Bryson Bossley . Those conversations got me thinking. And last night, I couldn’t stop thinking. One thought led to another. Ideas connected. Questions became bigger. And somehow, I ended up writing a speech and turning it into a video. So please, WATCH THE VIDEO FIRST. And if you recognize yourself in what I’m saying, if something in that message resonates with you… Come back and read this. ——— What Can We Build Together? 50,000 minds. Thousands of skills. Countless ideas. And yet… most of us are still trying to succeed alone. Think about that for a moment. What if the greatest opportunity in this community isn’t the next AI tool, another course, or another business? What if it’s the person reading this right now? Someone here might have exactly the knowledge you’re missing. Someone else might need exactly what you already know. And the strange thing is… Neither of you even knows the other exists. Isn’t that a tremendous waste of potential? I made this video because I believe we’re overlooking something extraordinary. It’s not another tutorial. It’s not a sales pitch. It’s a question we should all be asking ourselves. What could we achieve if we stopped trying to do everything alone and started combining what we’re already good at? Maybe we don’t need another thousand ideas. Maybe we need to connect the people who can bring them to life. And maybe it starts right here. Not with another complicated system. Not with another promise of success. But with people discovering each other. So let me ask you three simple questions. 1. What are you genuinely good at? 2. What do you need help with? 3. What would you build with others? Don’t overthink your answers. You don’t need to impress anyone. You don’t need to sell yourself. Just be yourself. Because somewhere among the people reading this, someone might have exactly the missing piece you’ve been searching for.

I've been quiet lately between personal projects/lyceum/day job and life with family and friends. Rest assured, I am still working. Had this idea this morning to make a tool for folks to visually audit your ICM workflows in the order that the agent reads files for a given task. Turned it into a skill for everyone here. https://github.com/donroy26/workflow-tracer Invoke the skill for a given folder and write the task you want and the agent will give you a dashboard like shown in the attached photo. You can then audit all the files it walks for that task and see if any wires are crossed. Let me know what you think!
