This is going to be so much fun. Tomorrow, I’m revealing the theme for our August hackathon and opening registration to AIS+ members. The rewards? $5,000 grand prize for the coolest agent. And you get featured on my YouTube channel. $1,000 for the beginner who learns the most. It’s going to be a blast. I would seriously hate to see you miss out. This hackathon isn't just about prizes. It's about finally building your first real automation, connecting with other builders, and proving you can ship something that works. The competition starts tomorrow. If you’re not a member yet, now is the time. Click here to get the membership details Cheers, Nate

Hey everyone, just finished creating my most recent video. I've spent the past week in the lab outlining what our flagship product is going to be, and that got me thinking a lot about the future of AI solutions we'll all be building in less than a year. I was listening to Dennis Hassabis (CEO of Google DeepMind) on Lex Fridman and he said something along the lines of "When designing and building AI products, you need to make sure that you're not building them for what they can do today, but for what they can do in a year." This got me thinking about how I want to revolutionize my niche with our solutions. I showcased my Master Scheduler v.1 a while ago - for those that don't know, this product onboards new projects for construction companies (primarily residential at the moment) and creates schedules with complete tasks while auto-assigning crew members intelligently based on worker skills and availability. It can do more than that, but those are the nuts and bolts of the system. By the end of the week my partner and I are going to have a fresh new front end ready to take beta users. It's long overdue that we get off of Airtable as our interface, and through these past few days I've been deeply thinking about how much user experience is about to change with this technology. Instead of contractors having to navigate through schedules with 15 different product features shoved down their throat like current construction software does, we're taking a minimalist approach. We want to hide most features behind our main executive agent that carries out tasks and schedule check-ups. We want users to speak to the executive agent and have it pull up relevant dashboards or execute tasks based on their queries. I believe this Jarvis approach - where AI works together with the user to create dynamic dashboards - is where the future is headed. We at Opulence are far from achieving it, but it's what we're steering towards. I speak more about this idea in the YouTube video and demonstrate a voice agent that runs through project questions to fire off the Master Scheduler generation.

Just wrapped up a full demo of a custom AI-powered website built for a fencing business, but honestly, the possibilities go way beyond fencing. I was tired of creating the same old AI powered lead magnets, leads fill out a facebook lead form, ai creates variables that are fed into a HTML template, and that is sent to the customer. I wanted to see if their was a more creative way to apply the power of instant custom lead magnets but in a different way, and that is where I decided to create a templatized website that is fed in variables about the customer in order to make it personalized. I created a website that a customer can go to and based on the valuation of their home, they could see how much their house would appreciate over 10 years with a fence. This unlocks so many more possibilities for lead magnets that actually stick in a customers mind, there is so much freedom for unique and compelling initial customer interactions that you can build on a website versus a HTML template in an email... https://www.loom.com/share/3d07e9e509654d91947d06764b7eee71?sid=0e46d793-fef5-4d06-96c5-c8621ce979a1

This has been my weekend project. I saw a job posting on linkedin last friday and I got a shit eating grin, what if I could automate this job using ai? The job posting was for a new project estimator for a manufacturing company that focuses on sunshades, balconies, and awnings. While I did not build a automation to completely replace that job position, I built a helpful tool that could calculate the costs of each product they sell. I used Vercel's v0, which is a tool similar to firebase studio in order to code up a simple front end. The hardest part about this project was getting the backend n8n calculation data to show on the v0 front end. I had to call up my biz partner in order to look at my code and come up with some solutions. Vibe coding will only take you so far. 😂 I plan on creating a more professional showcase of the demo product and send it over to the company and see if they show any interest, if not I will just find similar companies like them and send it to them. https://www.loom.com/share/f5fd25399761461394173a41c20c9fde?sid=9ceb1bed-6743-4654-8b54-ce826a0ec5f0

Just edited and posted a new build that I am implementing into a clients construction company. It takes answers from an Airtable form and turns it into a resource based accurate quote with a timeline, price, and image of the potential build. Check it out! 😁 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=opCNld40yfA&pp=0gcJCdAJAYcqIYzv
