Fable 5 is going back behind subscriptions at some point, so I've been focused on keeping its process instead of its intelligence. In this video I walk through how to extract the way Fable works into a skill that makes Opus 4.8 feel elevated, how to actually use effort levels, and how to set up a simple model routing table so cheaper models handle the work they're capable of.

When I started the AI Automation Society, I had no idea it would grow into this. Under two years later and we just crossed 400k. The largest AI automation community in the world. Yes, the space is exploding. But this community grew because you guys keep showing up, asking questions, dropping answers, sharing builds, and helping the person one step behind you. Huge thank you to the team that keeps this thing running, and to every single one of you who's posted, commented, or just been here. I feel lucky to get to do this. So excited to share with you guys what we've been quietly cooking up over here at AIS...👀 - Nate

Most YouTubers show you a single path into AI work: start an automation agency → take clients → sell automations. It works. I know because I built an AI automation agency and sold it. But it's not the only way in, and for a lot of you it's not even the best one. I made this video to break down the two real paths: The AI Career Opportunity Nobody is Talking About in 2026 Here's the quick version: Path A is the agency play. You go independent, take clients, build your own practice. Path B is the employment play. You become the most AI-fluent person in the room, and that's who companies want to hire or promote for AI work. If you're already employed, you become the obvious pick when an AI role opens. If you're looking to get hired, or move somewhere better, you walk in with real work instead of just claims. It's the less obvious path, but it's actually the more common one. The employment numbers (see the video) are shocking actually. Watch the full breakdown in the video. Then do one thing for me in the comments because I'm super curious: Tell me which path you are on. A, B, or both. And one line or so on why. I'll be reading these. Nate

From $64K+ in closed deals to first paid projects, first workflows, and first technical builds - this week inside AIS+ showed what happens when builders stop consuming and start moving. Some wins were big money. Some were first steps. Both matter. 🚀 Standout Wins of the Week inside AIS+ 👉 @Jacob West closed two deals in one week — a $22.5K custom software build for a local gym and a $42K AI OS rollout for a mid-market energy business. 👉 @Luca Giovinazzo delivered his first full client project live — 11 n8n workflows, CRM, Telegram bot, inventory alerts, booking system, KPI tracking, user guide, and Loom walkthrough. 👉 @Fadwa Naboulssi landed her first client three weeks into the community — a candidate sourcing workflow on a $150-per-successful-hire commission. 👉 @George Maitland completed his first technical build using Claude Code + n8n MCP — a local content engine with Telegram as the command center. 👉 @James O Neill built a free portfolio site for a friend-of-a-friend’s side hustle… and she insisted on paying anyway. First real money landed. ⸻ 🎥 Super Win Spotlight | @Josh Holladay Josh joined AIS+ because he wanted more than scattered learning. He wanted momentum. Focused content. Better access. And a room full of people actually moving. Since joining, he has: - Closed real client work - Built stronger confidence around pricing and value - Used the portfolio course to get clear on where he was and what needed to happen next - Learned how to turn client conversations into real business opportunities - Found a place to celebrate wins with people who actually understand the journey

Anthropic just passed OpenAI in business adoption for the first time, and within hours both companies dropped offers to lock users in. Codex gave 2 months free. Claude Code bumped limits 50%. Here's why I think we're in a "free sample phase" where the real product isn't the subscription, it's you. Use it like crazy, but build projects flexible enough to swap tools the day pricing resets.
