Just learned about SORA. About to get started in the app and saw @Shoney Ivens post about obtaining a SORA 2 invite code. Should I go directly to SORA 2? Anyone want to send me a code?

My new AI hack is using Google Gemini on the phone with the camera on in the app. Now that AI can see your World, it can help you solve problems that you have in real life. Check out this crazy example. https://x.com/kimmonismus/status/1995900344224907500?s=20

Not because they’re bad at marketing. Because the game quietly changed. Buyers aren’t scrolling search results the same way. They’re asking AI tools direct questions. And those tools don’t rank websites. They choose sources. If your site isn’t built like a source, you don’t get surfaced. I wrote up a simple playbook you can use to fix this and optimize your site for AI. Short. Tactical. Focused on AEO (Answer Engine Optimization). Here's the link to the strategy. I’ll build a follow-up playbook on GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) next.

While I am certainly struggling to learn more about how, and for what, to use AI, I got recent "wins" by using it to add lists of event and meeting dates to my calendar. One list of event dates was very well detailed (i.e. locations, times, and some event details), and I just told Gemini (via the app) to add it to my calendar and it did great (after first telling me how to link/allow my calendar). The others were a list of recurring monthly meetings, with quarterly ones marked that would be at a different location, but no dates or locations listed. So, for this one I used Gemini in my Gmail tab and gave times and locations in my prompt (i.e. "Add all these dates to my calendar from 6-7pm, and at 123 main street, except those with a *, they'll be at 567 Elm St") and Gemini added all the meetings with proper locations and times. The latter was a little faster than adding them manually (where I would have set one up to repeat monthly, deleted the quarterly ones, and then set a separate one with the different location to repleat quarterly)... but the former/events list was a TON faster due to having a lot of detail and great variation in date, time and location for each meeting (i.e. they couldn't be set to just "repeat monthly"). Baby steps...

Hey y’all! I told you I’d do better at sharing my quick wins and whatnot this year. Today I used Claude to create and edit the formatting on a first time buyer worksheet I will be giving to each of the attendees at my workshop on Friday! I’m super excited to use this on Friday!! Still need a couple tweaks, but those are easy enough on Word 😉
