Time for an honest post before I disappear for a bit 😎. The last few months got away from me. Client work took over completely, and this community got whatever was left. Which wasn't much. That's the flip side of doing AI work right now: the demand is real, and it eats everything if you let it (Lesson learned...) You're all here paying attention, and that deserves better than silence. Good news: the work wasn't wasted. I built a workshop, one version for agencies and one for LABASAD (Barcelona school of Arts & Design), and every finding from both is coming here. All of it. I'm off until mid-August. When I'm back, this is what I'm picking up first. And to be clear: keep posting while I'm away. Questions, work you want to show, a workflow you want feedback on, anything. I read everything that lands here and I'll answer. Don't sit on it until I'm back. What I don't know yet is the shape. One-off, monthly, live, recorded, free, paid. That's a real question, not a rhetorical one. Drop your thoughts below.

I published my first workflow to the Figma Weave community: THE MAD TEXT PROFESSOR. It's a text lab. Paste any text in, set four parameters (Type, Optimize, Translate, Language), and it handles the rest. Clean results, zero commentary. What I use it for: turning a rough note into a polished prompt, translating a paragraph in seconds, or prepping input for a system prompt that gets optimized and translated in one pass. One workflow, every text job. https://www.figma.com/community/weave_workflow/64/the-mad-text-professor Grab it, save it to your gourps, run it through your own pipeline, and tell me how you like it.

I joined the Teach With Weave program from the Figma Weave team, and honestly, the first thing I wanted to do with it was bring something back here. So: ten times the standard free credits, through my sign-up link: http://app.weavy.ai/signin?promotion=jvodegel&ref=jamy76 For anyone going paid use this code: JVodegel20 20% off your first purchase. One time per person, so put it on an annual plan, not a month. Capped at 50, then it's gone. Transparency: runs through my affiliate. More of this coming. This community is the reason I push for this stuff.

A small visual update to the Weavy platform: you can now select your input and output, and filters will automatically match the appropriate models. Nice use of color!

Drop your biggest takeaway from this classroom lesson. One sentence is enough. Now the real challenge: this workflow is not about rims. It's about placing any product in any context. A sneaker. A piece of furniture. A bag. A bike. How would you make this work for your own projects? What would you change? Share your workflow or your idea below. 👇
