Awhile back I helped @Mary Julia Cordero with some issues she was having. I did a writeup in the classroom about it: https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/classroom/b5143824?md=06c0cb5b8f884a319cad846a2bdd098a I wanted to turn this into a video to help explain the tips as I think this is a lesson everyone new to using AI has to learn along the way. Mary asked me her question as a part of my back to basics series. If you want to ask a question and have me answer it like this, drop a comment here: https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/new-classroom-series-back-to-basics?p=32285243

Hey, I'm 72 hours into the school community. I've been learning so much. The course has been amazing. I've already met some awesome people in here. I just want to give a general thank-you and some positive feedback saying: - Great product - Great community - Love what's going on - Learning a lot - So much value here - Appreciate everyone involved Keep cranking!

Step-by-step interactive guide from idea to output. Design an ICM workflow alongside Maya, one decision at a time, and watch a messy process become something an AI can run again and again. Right now, Maya has to try to remember what needs to be done and where each piece of information is kept. She needs a better solution. https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/7c9618f4-8324-4048-902c-cbcf77c9c102 Let’s build one with her. 😀

A quick follow-up from Weekly Comp #11: The Cartographer — I’ve been using the idea across my projects, and it has become more valuable as the systems grow. It gives Codex a clear map of the modules, dependencies, flows, and possible blast radius before making changes. In practice, it saves me time and tokens because the agent doesn’t need to repeatedly inspect the whole codebase just to understand how things connect. Even when I use ASTRA for deeper planning and audits, having the system map already available makes the process more focused and efficient. Definitely one of the competition ideas that proved genuinely useful in real project work. Thank you @Jake Van Clief and team

learning this icm framework was easy and im creating worflows and semi automations now very easily (done some personal and one for my brother), so creating part is where im good due to my experience in product management (non tech guy) but the other part is selling and giving service of creating workflows to real businesses is where im strugling. Im not sure how to find clients so may be someone here can give me a direction. One of my developer friend told me no one will buy folders. they will buy an actuall software. i showed him what i built, he was impresed but still not convinced that real businesses will use this. Learning and creating is easy now but selling is still difficult.
