Let’s settle the score. Claude Code has been all the rage lately, but Antigravity is sounding like a strong contender. I’d like to know which IDE would be best to commit to based on everyone’s experience — in terms of capability, longevity, and quality.

Quick share from my current build: I’m developing an update that lets n8n’s AI Workflow Builder work with a Claude Pro/Max subscription, instead of being limited to usage-based API billing. Why I’m doing this: - I want AI workflow building to feel more accessible for makers - Less friction when you’re iterating on automations - A clearer path for people who already use Claude daily and want it inside n8n I’m actively building it these days — I’ll share more progress as it evolves. 👀 Curious: if you’re using n8n + AI, what are you building lately? more long 🚀 What I’m working on right now (behind the scenes): n8n × Claude Pro/Max I’m currently deep in a development track that I’m genuinely excited about, so I wanted to share it with the community. I’m building an update that allows n8n’s AI Workflow Builder to work with a Claude Pro/Max subscription. Why this matters (for me, and probably for a lot of builders):When you’re designing AI automations, the real work is iteration:you test, adjust, retry, refine prompts, tune the structure, change the logic, and repeat.That process is where good workflows are born… and it’s also where people often slow down because they start thinking about cost and friction. My goal with this work is to make the “building phase” feel: - more natural - more fluid - and more aligned with how many of us already use Claude daily 🧠 The bigger idea:Bring the AI Workflow Builder closer to a “creator mode” experience where you can focus on designing automations, not managing overhead. This is not a polished release announcement yet — it’s simply what I’m actively working on right now. I like sharing projects in-progress because it often sparks better ideas, better use cases, and sometimes unexpected collaborations. If you’re in the n8n + AI ecosystem, I’d love to hear from you 👇What are you building these days? - AI agents? - internal tools? - workflow automation for business? - content pipelines? - lead gen / ops automations?

It can seem like there's so much to learn and such a high mountain to climb here. The one thing I've realized when it comes to not wanting to throw the towel as it seems like there's so much to learn and having this thought creep in: "can I actually do this?" ... it's to remind myself to take this one step at a time and not worry so much about how things will look like or should look like further down the road. When my mind wanders to far ahead, this is where things become stressful and overwhelming. Once I realized that, I decided to just focus on my in front of me now, learn what I need to learn now, and enjoy the process while trusting that what I'm looking to build here will look how it's supposed to. My only responsibility, while knowing my desired outcome, is just to stay present and take things as they come, as I learn something new, as I adapt in solving a challenge, and grow. That's it.

Building Your Brand Series “14 Elements of Building a Brand,” I’m sharing daily Skool posts on each element to help you level up your personal brand. These are simple, bite-sized insights to get you thinking and acting. Let’s dive in! Day 1: Know Who You Are And Aren’t Building your brand starts with self-awareness. Define what makes you unique and what doesn’t align with your vibe. This clarity helps you attract the right opportunities and avoid spreading yourself thin—like owning your expertise in one area instead of trying to be everything to everyone. What’s one thing you know you’re NOT? Share below!

I want to share something a little more personal than I usually do here—and use it as a conversation starter. I didn't get into AI and automation because I was obsessed with tech. I got here because I lost my dad. My father was the kind of person people came to for clarity. A mentor. A problem solver. Someone who always left things better than he found them. He eventually built a wedding officiating business, and he's the reason I became an officiant myself. When he passed away in November 2023, I entered the darkest season of my life. Business didn't stop, though. Emails still came in. Clients still needed support. I still had to show up, sometimes smiling through things I hadn't processed yet. At some point, I just didn't have the energy to keep doing everything manually. Both businesses started drifting—not because I didn't care, but because I was running on empty. Around that time, I leaned into AI and automation out of necessity, not ambition. I built systems that kept things running without me having to be "on" all the time. That gave me something I didn't realize I needed so badly: space to grieve, space to heal, and space to breathe. That experience changed how I see this work. For me, automation isn't about replacing people or chasing scale at all costs. It's about giving people enough freedom and clarity to show up where it matters most in their lives. I'm sharing this because I think we rarely talk about why we're really in this space. So I'm curious (and only if you're comfortable sharing): What's the deeper thing driving you to build, learn, and push so hard in this field? Not the surface-level goal. The real reason you get out of bed and keep going. I'd love to hear your stories.
