Hello fellow AI founders & enthusiasts! Finding this local group has got me fired up! A Bit About Me Born in Los Angeles, proud Filipino, and now soaking up the sun in Scottsdale, AZ. My wife and I spent four straight years living the nomad life in a motorhome and traveling internationally before settling down. We're now first-time parents to our 1-year-old boy named Miko "MacGyver." Yes, that's his real middle name – I was obsessed with MacGyver! We also have a 14-year old Silkie Terrier named Chloe who's still kicking. My wife and I traveled full-time for four years in a motorcoach and saw half of the country, as well as a dozen foreign countries. COVID forced us to settle down in Austin, TX, when certain states started to tighten up their borders. Hit the big 5-0 this year (half a century, folks!). My wife is 13 years younger than me and doubles as my business partner. I've weathered some serious storms – nearly filed for bankruptcy once and dropped out of college just six months shy of completing my Computer Information Systems degree because of boredom. The school moved at a glacial pace, and I was already earning a great living in tech. My Journey I've been in the e-commerce trenches for nearly 30 years (internet dinosaur status confirmed). Built multiple successful brands, survived Amazon's rollercoaster (including a full-blown account suspension right before my wedding... nothing tests your crisis management skills quite like that), and made pretty much every mistake possible along the way. Truth is, I've been knee-deep in automation for decades before it became the hot thing everyone's chasing. My e-commerce operations relied heavily on connecting inventory management systems, order processing workflows, vendor management tools, and CRMs. I've hired coders to create custom apps and scripts to bridge operational gaps that off-the-shelf solutions couldn't handle. One could say I was forced to learn integrations and automations simply to keep my businesses from imploding.

Hello everyone, 👋, I'm Max (also known as Mosheh). I've been called an expert in Voice AI, but I consider myself a student. Looking forward to meeting/connecting with you all. My professional journey spans from earning a BS in Computer Science, to providing website-related services, to web development, to serving as CTO and later president of an NGO, and finally becoming an IBM certified AI developer, consultant, and coach. Both my S-Corp I run my Agency under, and NGO are based in Phoenix, but I spend most of the year in Israel personally (my wife and kids here and I travel to USA to visit my siblings). I'm passionate about the intersection of AI and practical improvements in our lives, particularly voice technology. I believe in the power of knowledge exchange and community building. Looking forward to learning from all of you and contributing whatever insights I can offer from my experiences.

The AI Learning Center and our local community we are starting to create is making NOISE here in the valley. I am starting to get contacted by everyone from every corner of the valley wanting to tap into what our mission is. From media to VC's, incubators to AI talent and everyone in between... they all just want to be a part of what we are doing. Stoked for the future of becoming the hub of AI innovation for the state of Arizona, and making AZ a globally recognized hot spot in AI. Whose with me?! Warming Up.

OpenAI just dropped API access for their new image generation — and it changes everything. In this quick walkthrough, I show you exactly how to integrate it with n8n using an HTTP request node. Learn how to send prompts, convert base64 to binary, and automate image handling. This is a big one. Don’t miss it. 🔗 Official API Overview: https://openai.com/index/image-generation-api/ 🔗 API Reference – Create Image: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/images/create 👇 Drop questions in the comments if you need help.

Unlimited free crawling! *Free because you already set up your n8n Coolify server for nearly-unlimited n8n use! (along with Flowise, nocoDB, Langfuse, Open WebUI, Pocketbase, Weaviate, Supabase, Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, etc) 🍺 Video link: https://youtu.be/wfLQiGuXjVI?si=BA64UNZ1jqoeKT-m If you don't have Coolify set up, start here: https://youtu.be/7-lCm7utQ48?si=sJwJmcL2U0pMuAym In the video description is a link to the guide, that is something I will update over time as needed. Please download that for following the video! This puppy took me 2 full days to put together for y'all, but the value I believe to be well worth it! In can potentially save you hundreds in costs using solutions such as Apify, Serper, Tavily, Jina, Firecrawler, etc.
