Where to start is a tricky question. There are:
- A ton of YouTube videos I want to watch on specific subjects of AI
- Some social media stuff I want to prepare
- A few videos I want to make which lay the foundation with some fun examples of what AI can do
But ultimately I think the best place to start is getting a SAAS platform up and running with billing. Whilst what I make initially is probably just going to be in showcase form, I know that eventually the safest bet is to get a system up and running that people can sign up to on a running monthly amount. Not that I am ready to charge for anything right now!
One choice for software right now is a Flutter mobile app, connected to Google’s AI API, which I really like since I prefer making mobile apps as opposed to responsive web apps. Although the gains are marginal now between the two choices. But I do like the ability of the mobile app to be carried around with you, with offline capability so you can keep your data to yourself. I really don’t want to build a business that has to deal with lots of companies’/people’s personal and private information, although that’s the way sometimes.
The better choice is to build a web system where I can:
- Eventually have users paying to gain access
- Showcase my work over the initial 7 months (mobile app would force them to download the app, so it’s less sharable) to get feedback
I’ve been somewhat playing with two ideas already. One is a flutter app, the other is a web based system. So I’m not starting entirely from scratch.
I do think long term everyone is going to have some form of real-time digital assistant; and this will be monitoring things for you; abstracting aware mundane activities that it can complete for you; and creating a knowledge base that you can reference at a later date… amongst many other things. So that sort of real-time application will have to work across desktop (I still think people will work from desk/laptops) and sync with their mobile devices. Potentially we might see separate mobile devices and the resurgence of the PDA. Which would be fun.
So today, I want to keep going with the commitment to make a video everyday. Mainly this is just to get momentum on social media and in my own mind, and also because I just want to show people who have no idea, what’s possible with AI these days. So I’m going to have a play with Cursor and use it to build some fun web AI built web tool which I will later deploy.
But for the moment I just want to get a web system up and running to act as some form of platform to deploy on. So I’ll use Laravel for this.
- I want it hooked up to kintronix.ai, setup with Forge and Digital Ocean
- I want some form of public splash screen page. Since I don’t know exactly what it’s going to do yet, it’s going to be somewhat difficult but just have something up and visible. Maybe just links to this blog, LinkedIn and the future showcases I make.
- Ideally would love Stripe and subscriptions integrated straight away but this could be a day two thing
- Upload a fun showcase of what AI can build in just a few minutes of using it. Have made a 3D text creator with it
- YouTube channel setup and first video done
- LinkedIn post for day one posted
Ok let’s go
