👋 Quick intro, and a real ask for the builders in here. I'm not here to sell AI agents or my time — honestly the opposite. I'm an operator. I run a publishing business (mostly children's books on Amazon, multiple pen names, three LLCs, high six figures($600k+ per year and climbing toward seven). I'm here to ask — because the people in this group know AI things I need, and I'd rather partner with someone good than figure it all out alone. Here's the goal: turn the whole operation into a machine I mostly just monitor. I look at the niche research the Ai agent has done then hand another agent the brief, and the system produces a genuinely good book, creates all visual assets+audiobook, runs the marketing etc. Here's where I'm at. ⬇️ 🛠️ WHAT I'VE ALREADY BUILT (and want to refine) I'm not starting from zero. These already run as skills in Claude Code: ▪️ Amazon niche research — I feed a raw keyword export into an agent and get back the market gaps, the complaints mined from competitor reviews, and a book concept. ▪️ PPC + ad automation — my bid rules, negation logic, and weekly cadence are written into skills the agent runs against fresh ad data. (This is the heart of the business — ads are ~80% of my costs.) ▪️ Listing SEO — title, subtitle, description, and backend keywords, built as a writer/editor agent loop. ▪️ Weekly review — pulls from my tools and tells me what actually moved. So I know how to build skills. I want to go much bigger. 👇 🚀 WHERE I WANT TO GO NEXT (this is where I need you) 1. Books that are actually GOOD — not AI slop. 📚 Produced at scale, across different niches. This is the hard part and the one I care about most. I want manuscripts readers genuinely rate, not the obvious AI junk flooding Amazon.(I'm thinking something like a agent loop/goal that has a writer and editor looped agent and feed it other best selling books so that it gets the style and format down, but irons out all the shitty AI language and quirks.) 2. Pro-level covers with AI. 🎨

open for some part time / freelance work i build production ai, multi agent systems and ai wired into real data, on top of a solid backend and data infra base - python, kafka, elasticsearch, redis, postgres. built a few real things already. if u need a builder or know someone who does, comment or dm me and ill share the details

I've got some experience under my belt personal projects, plus a year and a half at a job and now I want to get into part time remote work or freelancing. My main question is how people actually land clients and how tough it is to get started. Open to any advice.

Anyone here built their own ai os already, how much u actually recommend it and how helpful is it actually, do u think its worth the time?

Trying to work with the new model. Unfortunately, today twice that model didn't work. In the afternoon for three hours, and now I thought in the evening I would try it again. I started the run of a new coding session, and immediately it stopped. Anybody else have this fantastic experience?
