Today at 1:00 PM Pacific I'm live for The 3% That Does the 97%: My Secret Weapons. Here's what that title actually means. Doing more with AI does not come from using more tools. It comes from using fewer tools, and having a few real strategies that connect them so they actually work together instead of sitting in separate tabs. I'm sharing my screen and walking through real examples so you can see it, not just hear about it. If you've been collecting tools and still feel like nothing quite connects, or you keep meaning to make it to a live session and haven't yet, this is the one. I don't want you to miss this one. Join me live on Zoom: https://us05web.zoom.us/j/89033573897?pwd=wGhkAah5bLGhjCcTo4KUABmA2kIHQt.1 Can't make it live? DM me and I'll get you the replay.

I mentioned these during the preview because this is one of the things I think business owners are missing: There are useful tools sitting in GitHub that can replace or support parts of the software stack you are already paying for, but most people never see them. I’m not sharing these because I think everyone needs to become technical. I’m sharing them because once you know these tools exist, you can start making better decisions about what is worth paying for, what is worth testing, and what is better left alone. These are the ones I talked about the other day: 1. Meetily Meeting capture, transcription, and summaries. Useful if you want more control over meeting notes and follow-up. GitHub: https://github.com/Zackriya-Solutions/meetily 2. OpenWhispr Voice dictation with local or cloud transcription options. Useful if you think better out loud and want to turn those thoughts into usable text. GitHub: https://github.com/OpenWhispr/openwhispr 3. AppFlowy An open-source workspace for projects, notes, wikis, and teams. Useful if you want to understand what an open-source Notion-style tool can look like. GitHub: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy 4. Open Design A tool for creating landing pages, dashboards, presentations, PDFs, images, videos, and prototypes. Useful if you are interested in AI-assisted design and asset creation. GitHub: https://github.com/nexu-io/open-design The point is not that everyone should immediately replace the tools they already use. Some of these require setup. Some are better for technical users. Some may only replace one part of a paid product. But this is exactly the kind of thing I want us looking at inside AIBGL: - What does this replace? - What problem does it actually solve? - Does it need technical setup? - Is it worth testing for the work I am doing right now?

I want to start off by saving you some money. I’ve been finding free, open-source alternatives to some of the paid tools a lot of us use, and today I’m going to show you three of them. That includes options that can replace tools like Notion and DaVinci Resolve, plus the easiest way I’ve found to install them. But I’ve also added a bunch of new resources inside the community, and I’m really excited to show you those. You can get started right now building your own second brain, or start developing skills for whatever AI tool you already like using. I’ve added some really valuable skills, along with other repos and tools that I think you’re going to find interesting. And then I want to talk about Friday, because I’m launching a new Accelerator program and everyone here is invited. Friday’s training is called The 3% That Does the 97%, and I’m not exaggerating. There really are just a handful of tools that make everything easier. These are the ones I use. My secret weapons. And I’ve saved them specifically for this training. This is not about collecting more tools or learning AI for the sake of learning AI. It’s about getting stuff done. Come join me at 1 PM Pacific today. I’ll show you what’s new, help you figure out where to start, and tell you what’s coming Friday. And I can’t wait to meet those of you I don’t know and hear about what you’re working on!

For those of you who are new here, welcome! As you can probably tell, I am literally building this airplane while we are flying it. Some things are working. Some things are still being built. If you click something and it doesn’t work, please let me know . But we are not waiting until Tuesday’s sneak peek to start having fun in here. I’m very excited about what we’re building. So pardon the mess, feel free to look around, and welcome!
