Hello everyone — I wanted to share a quick video to walk through some recent changes we’ve made to the site. As the community has grown, it became clear that we needed a better way to organize content for members with different starting points. That’s where the four groups come in: - AI Curious - AI Enthusiast - Agency - Enterprise. In the video, I show how posts and classroom content are now organized by group so it’s easier to find what’s most relevant to you. That said, nothing here is meant to be restrictive. You’re encouraged to explore outside your group if you’re curious — sometimes that perspective is the most valuable part. This update is really about making the community easier to navigate as we approach 500 members, while keeping the spirit of open learning and shared experience intact. Thanks again for being here and for spending your time in this community. The questions, feedback, and quiet participation all matter more than you might realize. I genuinely appreciate every member of this community, and I’m glad we’re building this together. Respectfully. @Michael Wacht

Hey AI Bits & Pieces crew! I’m super excited to share a little milestone with you all. Recently, found out that I’m ranked in the top 5% of U.S. developers and top 10% of Global developers on Lovable.dev! Here’s what that looks like in numbers: - The sites I’ve developed there have pulled thousands of views. - Created over a dozen sites using a total of 426 prompts. - Altogether, the development work has generated over 199,000 lines of code. - This is the equivalent of 6,600 development hours if I did it the traditional way! I thought it’d be fun to share this with you all, not just to celebrate a milestone, but to show how these tools can really amplify what we do. Websites Developed: - Corporate Websites - Bakery Showcase - Custom Mustang Website - Anniversary Celebration - Opportunity Mapping Roadmap - Knowledge base connected to Pinecone and n8n - Document storage connected to Supabase - and more... Thanks for being part of the journey!

We just crossed 600 members in AI Bits & Pieces. Consistent growth from day one, fueled by people trying to understand what AI actually means for their work and day-to-day life—and how it can help them stand out in the workforce, business environment, or executive ranks. That’s been the goal from the start. A place for: 🔵 AI Curious — figuring out what this all is 🟢 AI Enthusiasts — using it regularly 🟠 AI Practitioners — applying it to real work 🟣 Enterprise — thinking about scale across teams What’s been interesting isn’t just the number—it’s the mix of people and the conversations starting to take shape. Members are building small things. Members are asking in-depth questions. And members are starting to connect the dots between tools and outcomes. A special shoutout to each and every member, and the people who have supported me from the beginning: @Michele Wacht @Dena Dion @Debra Schmitt @Patti Hoekstra @Mark Zayec @Matthew Sutherland @Jason Hagen @Usman Mohammed @Nick Mohler @Eduard Friesen We have some exciting updates and new offerings for the community designed to help you win the AI game in life, at work, as a business owner, or as an agency. A heartfelt thank you. Michael

Over the next several days, I’ll be attending an AI conference in Milan, Italy — spending time listening, learning, testing ideas, and having conversations with people building at the edge of where this technology is heading. ✈️ I’ll still work to maintain content and keep things moving inside AI Bits & Pieces, but this trip is also an important reminder of something: Sometimes the highest-value thing you can do is to stop, observe, listen carefully, and consider other perspectives. The AI space is moving fast. ⚡ New tools. ⚡ New workflows. ⚡ New business models. ⚡ New assumptions being challenged almost weekly. And while online content is useful, there’s still tremendous value in getting into rooms with operators, builders, founders, developers, and enterprise leaders to hear what is actually working in the real world. 🎯 My goal is simple: ✅ Come back with insights worth sharing. ❌ Not hype. ❌ Not recycled headlines. ❌ Not “AI influencer” noise. Real observations. Real workflows. Real opportunities. Real AI lessons. 🙏 Appreciate everyone here who continues to contribute, ask questions, experiment, and help make this community valuable. Now it’s time for me to go learn a few new things. 🇮🇹
