Challenging myself to prove that anyone can become AI-native: Give me a task that you hate doing in your job or daily life, and I'll build an AI-native workflow that you can use repeatedly. Fill out this form, and I'll build it live on YouTube: gideonfip.com/workflow

Probably the biggest indication that no job is safe. The common consensus was that civil service/stat board jobs are 'more stable'. But even then, there's still a risk of being laid off at any time. Which jobs will survive this new wave? I became so jaded with the job search because of the constant ghosting or rejections, before deciding to go all in and build a lifestyle business with AI. If you have experience in solving a pain point that anyone is willing to pay for, now's the opportunity to build a solution on your own.

Day 8 of building a lifestyle business with AI: I just got a new client (student for my tuition business), and I'll be researching the syllabus with AI since the content is slightly different. Researching and building this live on YouTube: youtube.com/live/g8rwwUgVxxQ…

7 days ago, I started building my lifestyle business in public with one goal: To prove that anyone can build a business with AI, even if you have zero coding experience or technical knowledge. I'm reviewing all that I've learnt in today's livestream, see you there: youtube.com/live/YTszip48nmw…

Day 6 of building a lifestyle business with AI: I gained one more client (4 now), and I'll be building a notebook with @NotebookLM as a client-facing reference for all of our sessions. Trying to keep this under an hour and see you in the live: youtube.com/live/4cw_jhlGhWI…

Day 5 of building a lifestyle business with AI: I want to explore skill chains (as mentioned by @startupideaspod and @gregisenberg) to chain different steps of my workflow into an almost automated run. Going live on YouTube to build this: youtube.com/live/rMvt1rEMVas

The most soul-sucking tasks in my day include adding tasks and calendar events to my Google account. But once I connected the API, I can just tell what I want to AI, and it does all the work for me. In my latest livestream, I showed how to build out these workflows without any coding experience. Here's the replay: youtube.com/watch?v=WpsajO6m…

Day 3 of building a Lifestyle Business with AI: Yesterday, I created some AI workflows to automate the boring tasks that I didn't want to do. Today, I'm reviewing a session with a client and scraping Reddit to meet his urgent request. See you at the next live live: youtube.com/live/YlkwdYO42kk…

I'm starting a new 30-day challenge to build a lifestyle business with AI. For today, I'll be building a landing page and a client dashboard for a tuition business that I just started. See you in the livestream: youtube.com/live/BWAYLgXYHOs…

Yesterday's stream was a 'failure' because I didn't use AI: • Notion MCP was wonky (as usual) • I had to manually create my client dashboard But now that Notion is finally configured, it's time to automate all the manual tasks. For Day 2 of my Lifestyle Business Challenge, I'll be building Skills with Notion and conceptualising my entire business plan in an Excalidraw diagram.

Everyone loves a World Cup underdog story, but how the small nations have over-performed is a good indication of how AI and tech have changed everything: Information is no longer an edge. It was in the past, but now every new tactic is analysed so meticulously and is posted for free on YouTube. Anyone with an internet connection now has access to resources that once were only available to the top coaches. And that's how smaller nations, even with the lack of individual talent, can still perform well if they stick to an effective tactical setup. Anyone's edge now becomes how they can synthesise all the free (and paid) information into a system that achieves the best possible outcomes with the constraints (time and money) that are present.

Even for normal users like me, we need to avoid locking in with one model provider. If we ever want to switch between models or tools, we need to do it with minimal friction. Our system needs to be portable enough so that it still functions, even with any changes to it. I shared the simplest version of how anyone can build this system in my recent livestream, check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=8s9jaWeb…
Interesting to observe Anthropic going from the moat being the best model to building a tooling ecosystem with right integrations to common dev + non-dev workflows. If I was a CTO I’d only have a Slack integration where I can switch models *anytime*… to avoid lock-in tho

I hit my monthly usage of OpenCode Go with just 15 hours left, so I had to rely on free models today. These were the ones that worked for me: • OpenCode Zen: We get increased usage as an OpenCode Go subscriber, but it was still unreliable • Gemma 4: We get a generous 1.5k requests per day, though I hit the requests per minute limit quite quickly, can be unreliable at times • Nvidia NIM: 40 requests per minute is very generous with no other caps, and I primarily use Step 3.7 Flash. Free models are unreliable, but they are still a great way to get started with using AI more effectively. I shared the system that I use for free without any subscriptions or locking in with any vendor in a previous YouTube livestream. Here's the recording if you missed it: youtube.com/watch?v=8s9jaWeb…

How do you use AI to prepare for a job interview? Here's how I use it to build 2 items: • An interview coach personalised to the job description • A one-pager to send to the hiring manager See you in the livestream: youtube.com/live/KZozi2F-6Jw…

If you want to master AI, you have to know how to use GitHub (even as a non-coder). Yesterday, I showed how GitHub can be used as your Google Drive, and how you can 'steal' open-source code and ideas to build your own tools. Here's what I built: 1. YouTube Visual Summariser Make YouTube summaries more readable and digestable instead of just a huge wall of text. Repos I used: • @zarazhangrui's frontend-slides • @kepano's defuddle • @HiTw93's Kami design system • @thedankoe's Expert Content Summariser 2. Apple-style form to gather customer insights Using an Apple design system to create a TypeForm-style form for free. Repos I used: • @dabit3's OpenForm • @voltagent_dev's Awesome Design.md I shared how I built these tools in yesterday's live: youtube.com/watch?v=127u1eJV…

P.S. I'll be doing another live today, see you then: xitter.cf/gideonfip/status/20696…
I just got an interview, and this is the perfect time to share how I use AI to prepare for them. Following up on yesterday's GitHub livestream, I'll use others' repos to build an interview coach and one-pager. See you in 9 hours (10pm, GMT+8): youtube.com/live/KZozi2F-6Jw…
