Welcome to Clief Notes. Here's where to start.
1. Watch the intro video and introduce yourself in the intro post here 2. Start with The Foundation (free course). Concepts, folder architecture, prompting framework. Everything else builds on this. 3. Check in at the bottom of each lesson. Polls, discussion posts, other members working through the same stuff. Use them. 4. When you're ready to build real things, move to Implementation Playbooks (Level 2). When you're ready to build your own tools, Building Your Stack (Level 3). 5. Post your work. Ask questions. Help others when you can. What are you here to build?

⚠️ HEADS UP: PHISHING ATTEMPTS IN THE COMMUNITY ⚠️
We've noticed people sending out phishing links in DMs and comments. Quick PSA to keep everyone safe. ---- 🛑 THE RULE If someone you don't recognize is sending you links, asking for money, asking for login info, or telling you to "claim a prize" outside of an official competition post, it's not us. Don't click. Don't reply. Just delete. ---- 💰 HOW WE ACTUALLY HANDLE MONEY We will never send you money out of the blue. The only time you'll hear from us about money is if you've won a competition. When that happens, Sonija is the only person on our team who will reach out to collect your payment info to send your prize. If anyone else DMs you asking for payment details, banking info, or "verification" to release a prize, it's not us. Report it!! ---- 🚨 IF YOU GET A SUSPICIOUS MESSAGE 1. Don't click any links 2. Don't reply 3. Screenshot it if you can 4. Send the screenshot to Jake, Matt, or a mod so we can deal with it We're going to keep this community a safe place to build and learn. Thanks for looking out for each other. 🙏

🚨 You've been asking when the Lyceum opens. The waitlist is live. 🚨
The waitlist is up and seats are limited, so this is your nudge to go lock yours in. 👇 New here? Quick context. 👀 The Lyceum is Jake's live cohort program built on ICM, the methodology 35,000 people in this community are already using to get real results with AI. The short version: folders over agents. You learn the layer underneath the tools, the one that keeps working when the next model drops. Full breakdown is on the site. Here's what's inside: 🎯 Three cohorts, Technical, Business, and Creator. Same methodology, built around what you actually do. 🎥 Live sessions with Jake and a full team of instructors. ♾️ Lifetime recordings, written curriculum, and a private cohort Discord. 📜 An Eduba ICM certification you can put on your resume. And a guarantee no course makes: ✅ You leave with a working product, or the team finishes it with you. ⏳ Seats are limited and this community moves fast, so the math is not in your favor if you wait. 💡 Pricing and start dates aren't public yet. The waitlist sees them first, gives feedback on timing, and gets in before the program opens. Everything you want to know is on the page. If you already know this is for you, get on it. 🔥 👉 https://lyceum.eduba.io
Sunday ask me anything about AI. Plus, a new member of the community <3
Meet QualmGuy. There's a little guy on aris-space.com now. He lives in the corner. You can drag him around the page. Give him a hover and he perks right up. His whole job is to catch your qualms. Wat is a QUALM you might ask? A qualm is just anything that annoys you or breaks your flow. The AI thing that won't do the thing. The step in your day that makes you sigh. The "why is this still so hard" moment. Big or tiny, it all counts. Click him and tell me yours. That's the whole ask. He'll be popping up on all my deep dives, so if you have any questions relating to a deep dive or it sparks a question of its own while reading it, let him know! And while you're here, I want to open the floor properly. Think of this thread as your always-open AI hotline. If you have a question, feel stuck, want a second opinion, or just need a bit of clarity, drop it here. This space is for: Questions about AI, Claude, or any tool you're poking at Help applying what you're learning Feedback on your ideas, content, or next steps "Am I thinking about this the right way?" moments Anything you'd usually wish you could just ask me directly No question is too small. None of them are silly. If it matters enough for you to wonder about it, it belongs here. You don't need the lingo. You don't need to be technical. You just need to be curious. I'll be checking in and answering as much as I can. Send QualmGuy your qualm. Drop your question below. Both doors are open. Welcome to Ari's Space. <3

What's the last YouTube video you actually needed?
Last night, before bed, I picked up my phone. Old habit. Check YouTube, X, Reddit. See what I missed. Hunt for the hidden gem someone posted about AI. I put it back down without opening any of them. Not because I was tired. Because I didn't want to. And when I thought about it, I realized I haven't actually done that routine in a while. For most of us, the answer to the title question is probably the same: "Stop Building AI Agents. Use This Folder System Instead." That was two months ago. It's why most of us are here. Everything I was hunting for out there, I have now in this community. The videos that came before that were all the same. Everyone was copying each other. New model, new skill, someone's hot take on what changes everything. I kept watching because I thought the next one would be useful. It wasn't. Curious if anyone else has had this happen - where the community replaced the hunting behavior that used to eat your nights. What did you stop or start doing once you found Clief Notes?
