Hey community! So here's a quick overview; I am trying to build a full infrastructure of an openclaw/plug and play for other similar frameworks (I use picoclaw, quick overview of this, same capabilities with less than 10 MB of ram), it's more popular as "mission control" but this video explains most of it: https://youtu.be/RhLpV6QDBFE?si=dlYOf3xZ77xrCl4H So if you've seen Jake's remotion masterpiece you know how amazing of a system that is, I'm trying to build a system that encompasses everything, i.e. it can do anything and everything and we humans can see and manage it from a central dashboard, it can research, make docs, plan, use Jake's amazing framework to make Slidedecks, animations, videos, even edit videos (with python ofc but the AI controls it), make scripts, web apps, mobile apps, so on. I'm basically just brainstorming in this message here itself but I hope the general idea is understood, welcome to any questions. Now I know that this is very interesting and might be fun and trust me I'll make everything open as soon as the first production version is ready, but until then I need people (regardless of coding skills) who is genuinely interested in challenging themselves, this will be picoclaw native (very lightweight, secure and safe framework, openclaw is a huge vibecoded mess tbh) where there's almost no proper guide's, tutorials or documentations. Honestly even if a 5 minute fix takes you 1 hour but you actually put in the 1 hour just for your own goals and curiosity, that's what I need. Let me know if anyone wants to join my journey in this, the goal is free, open source, minimal costs (as many free API's possible), actual real world capabilities, not just AI slop. I also am open to ANY ideas, building out the systems will be more easier than actually find out the 100's of use cases and functionalities that could be required, again this is going to be built for the general amount of people, so it would have it's start pack as I mentioned (research to mobile apps in the 2nd para) but that's all I could think of, there's even "finance bro's" that could suggest much better systems for tracking expenses and building reports for personal use (taxes and so on). That is the general idea. Would love to get any insights.

So I haven't had the chance to dig into the classroom yet so I'm not sure if this is covered anywhere.. but this is my global.md that I have been working on to use across all projects. This way I have a single "source of truth" for best practices to include on all builds and try to keep things clean. So far it has been working pretty well (from an amateurs perspective haha) and looking forward to stress testing it more. Please take it and use it for yourself if you don't have anything similar yet. Also, I would really appreciate any feedback from the more experienced devs/engineers in the group. 🙏 Edit for clarity: this doc is something I have been applying to all vibe coding projects. Not all projects in general.

Hello Everyone👋 I'm Kaleb — joining from Edinburgh, Scotland, and stepping in as a moderator here alongside Jake. A bit of context: Jake and I already work together outside of this community, so this isn't a cold introduction for me. I've seen how he thinks, what he's building, and why it matters. Coming in here officially feels like a natural next step. My job is pretty simple — help things run better behind the scenes so Jake can focus on what only he can do: building the courses, running the sessions, and developing the frameworks you're here for. A few things I'd love to know from you: 1. What are you building or working on right now? 2. What would make this community more valuable to you? More content, faster responses, more collaboration, something else entirely? 3. Is there something you've wanted to contribute here — a skill, an idea, some time — but haven't found the right opening for yet? That last one especially. Drop it in the comments. Glad to be here. Let's build something good. — Kaleb

I've been working with Jake for a while now, well before I joined this community officially. I know what he's building and I know how he thinks. The community is the visible part. There's a lot happening around it that most people haven't seen yet. When he asked me to come in as moderator it wasn't to manage a feed. It was because the operation is growing fast and we need good people around us to build it properly. AI consulting, enterprise workshops, partnerships across some seriously complex industries. Jake's been carrying a lot of this alone. That's changing. If you've been sitting in here thinking "I could help with that" — now's the time to say so. Here's where we actually need hands/volunteers right now 👇 🤝 Community and Engagement — welcoming members, keeping conversations real, making this place worth showing up to every day 🎬 Content and Course Production — editing, formatting, turning Jake's raw material into polished modules people can actually learn from ⚙️ AI Engineering — building and improving the tools and systems running underneath all of this 💼 Client and Relationship Management — helping connect the community to the consulting and enterprise work we do 🎤 Workshop and Event Support — helping prep and run live sessions for corporate clients and institutions 📱 Social Media and Growth — turning the audience Jake's built on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube into members and pipeline 🔍 Research and Intelligence — tracking what's happening in AI and feeding it back into content and strategy 🗂️ Operations — keeping a fast moving team organised and on track These start as contributor roles. The people who show up well will grow with this. That's just how it works. DM me directly. Tell me who you are, what you're good at, and why this caught your eye. I read everything. Kaleb

Hello all. Glad to be here. On background, I come from a lifetime of blue-collar and recently decided to expand my horizons and start learning more about tech. I started learning frontend back in December but I'm less excited by UI than I am backend ops. Still plugging through an online frontend course to finish what I started but I'm thinking my next course will be python since that seems to be the best place to start with backend. Open to suggestions if any of you think otherwise. I am in a few of these AI forward communities but @Jake Van Clief 's content really spoke to me with the emphasis on file structure and not trying to create a custom agent for every single niche task. I have been navigating blindly around this approach, lacking clarity on how to move forward so I am looking forward to learning how to systematically apply the proper structure to every project. There is so much information out there and it is definitely overwhelming for newbs. This past weekend I started working on a global.md for all my app builds that will cover the standard build architecture, refactor checkpoints, best practices, etc. I was spurred to do this by listening to a YC podcast episode with a bunch of software engineers giving tips on how to vibe code without creating absolute garbage. So far, the bits and pieces of these methods I have implemented in projects has yielded solid results and I look forward to optimizing further. My goal is to build actual tools that solve actual problems and not just wow business owners with overpriced crap they won't use after the initial novelty wears off. Excited to learn and contribute where I can! Cheers.
