Nat Eliason's Build Your Own Apps course bridged the gap between my front-end skills and full-stack building. CLI, @github.com, @cursor.com.web.brid.gy — I now ship projects I couldn't have imagined.

Spent the week diving deep into @n8n.io & I'm hooked!

Rebuilding my Zapier news→social media agent for a client, adding:
✅ Social media scheduling
✅ Pinecone RAG responses
✅ Transcript processing workflows
✅ Auto-embedding pipeline

Who else is building with n8n?

Big thanks to my friend Ana Cvetković for this awesome feature on the @activecampaign.bsky.social blog!

In it, she shares a step-by-step walkthrough of my news to social media post AI agent that I built on @zapier.bsky.social Agents: www.activecampaign.com/blog/how-the...

The @mit.edu study on AI reducing brain activity makes sense — struggling is part of learning.

But here’s what it misses:

When you’ve already done the hard thinking, AI can make your processes more usable.

I used @v0.dev to turn my SOW SOP into a dynamic tool: v0-sow-builder-template.vercel.app

🚀 Built a flashcard web app for my toddler during the @boltnew.bsky.social Hackathon!

✅ Custom vocab packs
✅ English/Spanish mode
✅ Images & audio (@elevenlabs.io, @unsplash.com, DALL-E)
✅ User auth & progress tracking

🚨 16 leading AI models chose human harm over shutdown 🚨

@anthropic.com found that most would harm or even kill humans to stay online: anthropic.com/research/age...

This isn’t sci-fi: it’s tested behavior.

We need to slow down + prioritize safety.

Where’s the line? What comes first?

Tested @elevenlabs.io during @boltnew.bsky.social's Hackathon and... 🤯

The voice cloning accuracy is genuinely unnerving. I also built a conversational AI agent that interviews me for content ideas.

Full breakdown on @zapier.bsky.social blog 👇

AI voice tools: are we fascinated or concerned?

We test it like a beginner. Then explain it like a pro.

From on-camera walkthroughs (Zapier, LinkedIn Learning, Wordfence) to written guides, The Blogsmith creates content that teaches, supports & converts.

Need to reduce churn? Let’s talk.

Every day, I wake up excited to build something new.

Yesterday, it was a word art generator in Replit.

My husband’s been sending me weird creations ever since.

Try it yourself: word-art-studio.replit.app

WTH is MCP?

It's a new way to connect AI to your tools & data—think Claude updating Airtable, scraping sites via Apify, pulling
HubSpot sales data, or checking Github details.

I've been testing it in Claude Desktop & Cursor.
@zapier.bsky.social article soon.

You trying MCP yet?

Bolt, @hf.co, and Lovable are all running hackathons right now. Not just for prizes — for the permission to experiment & learn in public.

Your best breakthrough might be a hackathon away! What project idea have you been sitting on?

Tired of AI making things up?

Vector embeddings let you plug in your content — so AI writes with your data, not its imagination.

For @zapier.bsky.social, I break down how content teams can use RAG models to kill hallucinations (without needing to be a dev): zapier.com/blog/vector-...
May 20, 2025 at 5:20 PM
What if content wasn’t just read, but used?

I’ve been turning articles and comics into calculators with @vercel.com's v0.

Here’s one → v0-comic-to-calculator-nine.vercel.app

Prompt: “Translate this XKCD comic into an ROI calculator.”

v0 makes this fast & fun — try it free: v0.dev

Wouldn’t it be nice to call in expert advice on demand?

With the multi-expert panel prompt pattern, you can. 🤖

🧠 Create 3 fictional experts
🔍 Each analyzes the same problem
✅ Pick the best fix by 2/3 consensus

It’s like simulating a team brainstorm!
May 15, 2025 at 3:39 PM
What if you could auto-respond to journalist requests using your own content?

I built a Zapier Agent + RAG setup that:
📥 Reads emails
🧠 Queries my vector DB (content repo)
💬 Sends draft replies to Slack

Now I never start from scratch & my smartest insights actually get reused.

In 2016, I got this AdWords cert (since then, AdWords and I both changed our names 😂).

Lately, I’ve been back in learning mode—currently taking Google’s Data Analytics cert on Coursera.

Who else has gone through Google’s newer certs?

Just finished the AI Agent Fundamentals specialization from Vanderbilt on Coursera.

I didn’t just want to use AI agents — I wanted to understand how they work. Three courses later, I’ve got the fundamentals down.

Big thanks to Dr. Jules White for the guidance!

I record voice memos to capture ideas.

Now, I built a tool that:
🎙️ Records audio
📝 Transcribes it
🧠 Summarizes it
📄 Saves to Google Docs
📥 Posts to Slack

Next: Auto-add action items to Todoist.

AI + workflows = 💥

What’s an annoying workflow you wish you could fix?
April 23, 2025 at 7:13 PM
I used to side-eye AI for getting things confidently wrong. Then, I discovered RAG models!

Now, I’m building tools that query my own content with actual citations.

Not a dev, just obsessed. Thinking of making a walkthrough — want in?
April 21, 2025 at 3:23 PM
I built a vibe-coded writing assistant Chrome extension using Bolt + Cursor.

✨ Drop in your OpenAI API key & a sentence
🧠 Rewrite, rephrase, simplify, expand
📝 Rework for tone, clarity, flow
🧰 Title case, sentence case, and thesaurus suggestions

Would you use this?
