I work with AI on Substack, but more on the philosophical part. I have a few subscribers, but I feel they are just lurking and won't subscribe. I'll try something with more impact on skool.com. What do you recommend?
Being honest, I'd like to do Substack only, like you. I'm tired of working in Japan because people are always looking at what floor you are stepping on.
Your work is overwhelming, but I can learn. I'd like to learn from you and make a few interesting things. You can suggest to me other interesting software that you haven't implemented yet due to a lack of time, and I can do it.
I had a deadly accident 5 years ago, and I'm paying hospital bills and trying to make ends meet. So, I'd like to start doing something nice, and I can subscribe to one of your groups. I'm familiar with Chat-GPT, Claude, etc but I don't know how to combine them as you do.
Hoping not to be intrusive, but asking for understanding.
And I’m sorry to hear about your accident. I hope things get better for you soon.
My honest advice is to stay consistent and focus on solving one real problem for one specific audience.
For example, after the Claude Fable 5 incident, people started looking for a Plan B. I tracked that across the web, built an open-source model setup, and wrote a few articles about it. People loved it because it solved a real problem they already had.
If Claude Fable 5 had stayed online, people would probably still want to read more about that instead, so I would have written about it.
Does that make sense?
I hope you find your own community, Alex.
It takes time, but once you find the right people, everything starts to feel more natural.
This article hits the nail on the head, Gencay. The paradigm shift from "productivity tool" to "24/7 coworker" is fundamental and is exactly what separates those who get real results from those who stay on the surface. I particularly appreciated point IX: stop passively consuming AI content and start building, even if it means creating something imperfect at first.
Out of curiosity regarding the "coworkers" you have set up, like your marketing assistant or trading bot: how much time do you dedicate on average to maintaining and calibrating them over time, compared to the initial effort of creating them? People often underestimate the fact that, just like a human colleague, an AI system needs to receive new inputs and be realigned as our working methods evolve.
I explore very similar dynamics, focusing specifically on how AI is transforming community management and the way we work. If you are open to exchanging ideas and growing together, I would love for you to check out my space: https://nicolocaiti.substack.com/
Hi Gencay, new sub here. I'm retired and have taken up vibe coding, all great fun. I use Chat GTP (paid), it is safe to assume that anything that you write about that uses Claude can be replicated in GPT/Codex?
What you just shared is highly impressive. Ive got "NotebookLm & Gemin" - on paid subscription with google workspace, same with Microsoft 365 - copilot. Now, I have the following outsiders: Perplexity,Chatgpt & Claude on sides w/o subscription just yet, and the extra agent coder,like claude codex,etc,etc. - My biggest question,because in my understanding, google workspace or the microsoft workspace - are built for day to day peoductivity task,and its not an app or web app in the strictest sense as such if I were to build one as my 24/7 bot assistant, where should it sits? Inside of a domain? Web app like website requires a domain. So, lets say my domain is 123.com ,and I want a web app,how am I going to put all the pieces from start to finish? - Thank you in advance for your answer. E.
The agent does not have to live inside a website or domain. A domain is only needed if you want a web interface for yourself or your customers.
There are many ways to run this.
Option A: You can set up a routine in Claude. It can run once a day, and as long as your computer is open at that time, it can do the work.
Option B: You can open your computer’s terminal, run one command, keep it open, and leave the Claude app running. Many of these systems can work this way too.
Option C: You can buy a small machine like a Mac Mini, set up a Hermes agent on it, and let these systems run there 24/7.
So the main idea is this: the AI coworker is usually a background system first.
A website or domain is optional, only if you want a front door for it.

Everything else gets easier over time.

Thanks, Nicolo.
Approximately, each one takes around 15-20 minutes to build, maybe less.
But since I build a lot of systems, I’d say one hour per system is a safer estimate.

Hi Martin,
Yes, you can replicate most of what I did with Codex.
For the remaining part, you need a few adjustments.
For example, instead of using ChatGPT Automations directly, you would use Scheduled Tasks inside the Codex app.
great, looking forward to future posts!
