What's up AI Auto Society! I'm new to this community and wanted to introduce myself. I'm an apartment developer by trade (23 years) and things are a little slow. I studied Industrial and Systems Engineering in undergrad at Georgia Tech, got my MBA from Emory, and also got my CFA Charter. So, I like to learn, love building systems, and have a strong geek side. Also, my son, who is a CS guy called me out after I had sent him a dozen or so articles about all the amazing things AI could do. He was like "build it yourself". So I started, and haven't looked back. (He is still miles ahead of me! Amazing kid, headed to Georgia Tech to study CS in the fall.) Anyway, I've been building tools to help me in my business: 1. Rent scraper to get rent comps 2. Facebook ads automation 3. Lender package automation And this community has started to be a huge part of my daily routine. I've learned a ton, and can't wait to learn more from Nate and all of the amazing people in this community.

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.

In February, I spent a week in Cape Town, SA with some of the top AI entrepreneurs in the space for a mastermind. We had hundreds of community members join us. I met some amazing people and left feeling so energized and inspired. Which is why I've been uploading almost daily lately, haha! Anyways, just dropped a behind the scenes vlog if you're interested in checking it out. AIS is planning on doing big events and meetups regularly, so if this trip looked like fun, stay tuned for events in the future!

After 400 hours in Claude Code, I noticed that businesses keep paying for the same six types of skills. In this video, I break down each one, what it does, and why these simple, boring skills are the ones that actually sell. Whether you're brand new to AI automations or already building for clients, these are the skills worth learning first.
