It took me a long time to find my path with AI. Honestly, at some point I felt like I had run out of ideas. Me, someone who has spent over 20 years in technical product development and engineering, who has filed patents and always had more ideas than time, suddenly sat there not knowing where AI could make a real difference for me. So I read along here on Skool, tried things, threw them out, tried again. A little bit every day. I’m not a software developer, and that’s exactly what made the beginning so tough. Today I know my creativity never disappeared. I first had to build up the knowledge to truly understand AI. And then I went back to what I do best. Technical product development and engineering. Since then, the ideas have been flowing again. My latest result is called AI2CAD. I brought an LLM into CAD. Parts are created by prompt alone. I’m as excited about it as a kid right now. What I take away from this: staying on track pays off. The discipline to grow a little every single day pays off eventually, even if you don’t see it for a long time. Now all I need are customers. 😉 If you know anyone in technical product development or engineering who might find this interesting, I’d be grateful for an introduction. And to everyone who is still searching: start with your own strengths. That’s where the treasure is.

Hi everyone, I'm now deep into AI and technical product development. And finally the time has come: my website www.aimation.de is done. Honestly, I'm pretty proud of it. Before I keep improving it, I'd love your outside perspective. What stands out to you? Is it immediately clear what I offer? What would you change? Alongside the website, I'm doing marketing on LinkedIn and I'm very active there. So far, the results have been limited. But giving up is not an option, the fire is burning. I've also already formed a few partnerships with providers of AI operating systems, which is a good start. My target audience is CEOs and managing directors, heads of engineering, department heads and anyone who makes budget decisions in a company. In other words, exactly the people who have little time and aren't constantly on social media. Still, I realize I need to be seen a lot more. So here's my question for you: 👉 Where do you best reach CEOs and budget decision makers, apart from LinkedIn? 👉 Which channel brought you the breakthrough? Networks, events, partnerships, newsletters, YouTube, something completely different? 👉 And what would you skip in hindsight? I'm grateful for every tip, including the uncomfortable ones. 🙏 Holger

Your calendar tells you where you need to be. But what actually needs your attention? For this example, I am using Plan My Day, an agent set up in my Copilot account. Think of an agent as Copilot configured for a particular job, with its own instructions and information sources. (Microsoft Learn) Microsoft provides a Plan My Day template designed to help identify priorities, prepare for meetings, and surface decisions waiting on you. (Microsoft Learn) The goal is simple: Spend less time figuring out where to start and more time doing the work. 🔁 Practice This - Open Microsoft 365 Copilot. - Select Plan My Day under Agents - Click Top Priorities. - Submit 🔍 What You Are Looking For Focus on three things: - Relevance: Are these genuinely important, or simply the meetings on your calendar? - Preparation: Does it identify something you should review, follow up on, or decide? - Evidence: Can you check the source behind the recommendation? Those are useful starting points. I still decide whether they belong at the top of my list. 📌 Notice What Is Missing There is an important detail in my results screenshot: “No email/chat data returned.” That does not mean there are no emails, unanswered questions, or pending decisions needing attention. It means this particular review did not return that information. A useful briefing should tell you what it found—and what it could not check. 🔑 The Takeaway - The value is not another list of meetings. - It is a short review that helps you decide what deserves attention. - Let Copilot suggest the priorities. You make the final call. - Did it surface something you might have missed—or put something in the wrong order?

With agents, the technology is rarely the hard part. The imagining is. Clients and prospects simply cannot picture what happens inside the individual steps. Planning, calling a tool, checking the result, going back when something is missing, handing the draft to a human for approval. From the outside it looks like a box that spits out text. And yet those steps are where the entire value sits. So here is my question to you: how do you make that visible? How do you visualise the way an agent works so that a client really gets it? What I would love to know: 1. Which format worked for you? Something to click through, a short video, a live demo, 2. What did you build it with? 3. At which point did it click for the client? Every idea and every screenshot is welcome.

In total, it’s already been 2.5 years, but for the last 2 years, the fire has really been burning.Every day, I pick up another small piece of knowledge. For me, it’s the 1% method:getting just a little bit better every day. And honestly: I’m proud of myself for that. Sometimes we should allow ourselves to celebrate our own consistency.Because I believe that showing up every single day for 2 years is something not many people on Skool have done. I can only encourage everyone:Stay curious. Keep learning. Keep exchanging ideas. At some point, it will pay off.Maybe financially. Maybe professionally.Or maybe simply because it feels good to understand more about this world. But knowledge is only one side of it. The network is the other. Over the past years, I’ve met so many great people.People to learn with, laugh with, discuss ideas with, or even share a beer with. I’m truly grateful to be part of such a large international network full of inspiring people. Thank you. Holger And now: back to learning.
