Hi everyone, I got my first AI workflow client: my wife! She's a food blogger who loves writing and content creation but isn't a fan of video editing. I figured this was a good excuse to build a fully custom workflow for her business instead. I've started on the folder structure, but one thing I haven't gone deep on yet is plugins and open-source components (specifically, making sure anything downloaded and use is safe and secure). Would love advice on: 1. Building a video editing workflow - tips or things to avoid 2. Handling raw footage intake - recommended tools and/or best practices for ingesting iPhone footage and reliably producing multiple platform-specific cuts (different aspect ratios, lengths, pacing) without manual re-editing for each platform 3. Vetting open-source plugins - what's your process for evaluating a plugin or library before it touches a client's raw media? (checking maintainers, license, recent commits, sandboxing, etc.) Thanks in advance!

Hey all — Danney Tee here 👋 For the last 2 months, I've been heads-down exploring ai image & video generation. Then about 1 month ago, I sent the kids to my relative for few weeks and lock myself in a room to build a tool that lets me take an idea and turn it into a profession cinematic video. I recorded it working on a real project and wanted to share what it actually does — and why I'm pouring everything into it. The idea in a nutshell: Instead of guessing what makes a video great, my tool studies one. → I give it an original video as a study case (here's the one I used: [youtube]) → It analyzes that video and pulls out its DNA — the small details in every component that make it work: the shots, the pacing, the sound, the transitions, the feel. → Then it reverse-engineers that DNA into something completely new and my own — and carries it all the way through, even into the editing, mostly automatically. In the Cut Studio — I could leave comments directly on timeline to have my agent edit for me. Imagine this can be apply to real estate, cinematic movie, music video, reconstruct video, demo video, etc.. What the system can do today: - 🔬 Analyze a reference video and extract its DNA + Build world assets - 🎬 Turn that into a fresh shot list and generate the clips - 🔊 Build the sound design + multitrack mix right in the app - ✂️ Edit and render the final cut — one click to MP4 - ♻️ Keep everything as reusable building blocks for the next project It's not perfect yet — there's still real work to do and I'm fine-tuning it every single day. But it already takes me from "a video I admire" to "a finished video of my own" faster than I ever could by hand. Why I'm doing this: I'm a single dad of two boys (9 and 5), working 15+ hour days, and this is my passion — honestly something all three of us are into together. AI video clicked for me about two months ago and I haven't stopped since. I'm not a super technical person but passion is my strength, I believe this is the future.

For many years, there's been so many CRMs for real estate agents, but what I've found is it's only as good as you use it. Because real estate agents are so reactive and proactive, there isn't enough time to update the CRM yourself (well, there is, but you can use your time better elsewhere) so, from my learnings, I've tried to make an internal CRM using Claude and the ICM folder structure. I've been building this over about two months. I just had my PB month of listings, 8 listings! previous 5 PB. The thing I found most helpful is that Claude would find leaks in leads, and give suggestions on who of my buyers could be a seller. Claude obviously has a better memory than I do and can remember who I should be following up with and who I spoke to. The current stack is Claude + Plaud (Ai note taker) and just getting into Hermes. Plaude would note take conversations in home opens and on phone calls, I've set up an N8N automation that would mirror the transcription and put it into my folder structure, and Claude would transcribe it and place things where they need to, buyers / addresses / follow ups ect. As much as it's helpful, I feel like I need to give an ICM folder update, tend to use a lot of tokens to figure out what im saying and where to look. Maybe I need more Routers / folders within? Would love some suggestions from the community on where they think I could improve, enhance, or streamline the folder structure. PS. Anyone a Hermes lord? Would love some help on how I can best utilise as my robot arm. Love from Australia!!🇦🇺

Hey everyone, I'm new here and really want to learn how to use AI in my business. I've watched Jake videos on folders and the setup, but honestly, I'm overwhelmed. There's so much information and I'm not connecting the dots yet. I learn best when things are broken down into simple steps. Could someone point me to: - The absolute basics to start with (like "do this first, then this") - A simple first project I can complete to understand how it works - Which parts I can ignore for now as a beginner I'm committed to learning this, but I need a clearer starting point. Any guidance would be really appreciated. Thanks for understanding!

Small but damn I'm excited!!! Over the past week I followed the steps through out The Foundation modules and created my first workspace folder architecture. It was rough but I'm proud of it. Today I finally got the time to start working with Claude Desktop to make sense what I'm working on and trying to accomplish. Process wise it wasn't much different in how I've used AI up until now, BUT, results wise it was night and day since I had started off by creating a Project, giving it some rules and memory, etc.. It helped me refine my folder architecture based on my actual day to day projects, and I gave it my original folders to refine and include them in the new version. Loaded it up into VS Code, told Claude Code I wanted to work on a specific workspace and BOOM BABY!!!!! It followed my Claude.md and started asking me competent questions. What an exiting end to my day. A big thank you to everyone that has provided even the smallest of guidance and support. Shout out to @Carla Bosteder for going out of her way to post this https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/ai-workflows-in-a-box?p=9a20e119 when she saw one of my cried for help.
