The OpenClaw moment 🦞
AI is having a moment right now, and it's because of OpenClaw. OpenClaw is an AI Agent that controls its own computer. This open-source AI agent can run on an old laptop, or a Mac mini, or a VPS, a Virtual Private Server. With its own hardware, email accounts, and web browser, its own memory and soul, installing OpenClaw creates a 24/7 AI assistant working on whatever you want. You don't want to run OpenClaw on your own machine - [...]
The Evaluation Loop: How AI Improves Its Own Output
AI is better at evaluating content than generating content. This makes sense, when you stop to think about it. For a large language model to interpret your instructions, and create output, all in the same step, it dilutes the same token budget over two requests. But if you have ask AI to evaluate its own outputs, it can focus all its attention on identifying how to improve. Then it can rewrite, separately. Here’s a simple copy/paste [...]
What’s working now with AI Enablement?
Giving your team Copilot licenses will not magically create AI transformation. That mindset is treating AI as a technology problem, when it is actually an operator problem.

Be patient and iterative, treating the AI interaction like a collaborative coaching conversation. Clearly articulate expectations and the measure of success for the task. [...]
The Ai Coaching Academy is live!
📊 Build the capability of the future, together. If you've been following me for a while, you know my story. If not, here's the TL;DR - I ran away and joined the circus, and lived as a street performer, hitchhiking across the United States. I settled down and had kids, moved to Costa Rica, and started my own digital marketing agency. My family moved to New Zealand, where there are no natural predators. I wrote a book called Marketing Yourself, which helped thousands of [...]
Claude’s New Updates are Killing My Busywork
If you haven't been using Claude, it might be time to give it a try. Anthropic has released a bunch of new Claude features recently. Claude Code has Twitter in a tizzy the last couple of weeks, especially after somebody released the Ralph Wiggum plugin. Here's a 10-minute video overview by Alex Finn. TL;DW - the Simpson's character Ralph Wiggum (ha! ha! I'm in danger!) revises your output until it meets goals. I've been playing around with the Claude Chrome browser extension, and it has [...]
