    Helping a friend

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Update: Showed him the demo with the dedicated capabilities pages. He told me he absolutely hated it. Awesome that’s the feedback I needed. The content copy was essentially verbatim what he said in my “discovery” talks with him. I’d record the conversations and extract the info and put it on...

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    It’s slow moving but thank you! As of right now no because none of what we’ve been working on has gone live yet aside from his Google business profile listing. Website is still being edited, waiting on more info from him and getting his name out on these directories was on hold until then...

    Helping a friend

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Update: Been plugging away for at least an hour or two each day. GBP was verified through my guidance which was awesome. I drove to his shop location on a weekend and took a walkthrough video based on ones i found on youtube to show him exactly what to do and it worked. Not groundbreaking but...

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Here’s a progress thread Finally internalized this will take longer than I want and shifted my thinking to 10 years vs everything happening at once. Also recognizing that my first business probably won’t be my last so I’m gonna focus on process as much as possible. Realizing everything I’ve...

    Any runners? Breathing life into myself

    HEALTH 
    Awesome work I’d consider that a success. I’ve never done interval work of any kind or really properly trained for any race I’ve done and it walkways winds up killing me. I ran a 50 miler with conditioning just from doing CrossFit (which I no longer do) so I totally believe you can get into...

    Interesting idea, I had one similar to that. Honestly I don't really see the individual paying for something like that because there is so much free info out there. That's why I plan to target the actual utility as the buyer as a way to keep their specific knowledge in house. However, to your...

    Any runners? Breathing life into myself

    HEALTH 
    Hey dude, another runner/ultra runner here. My wife and I just recently had a baby about 8 months ago and training has definitely been spotty since then. How have you managed training with family/work/pursuing entrepreneurship so far? I find it rough to fit it all in one day and still get...

    I hear you @Andy Black . I might be assuming too much too early because I don't really know the behavior of my target user. How I have the app structured right now is you open it and theres basically a simple UI with job related topics that you can browse. Click a topic and there's a list of...

    Update: Talked with GM today for about an hour. Confirmed some suspicions and what my Engineering Ops buddy said what he’s experienced. Conversation did not talk about my idea at all and I never proposed knowledge capturing explicitly. I more so asked the reasoning behind why we hired back...

    Quick update as well I talked to an Engineering/Operations manager friend of mine today and he validated several utilities as well as the one he works for with no knowledge base or way of keeping knowledge in house. The best he had for an example was a physical log book that dates back to the...

    So i checked out my actual build against what you said and i do have some of this in place already but a few differences. Right now I have embeddings so all my docs get chunked and questions get matched to chunks. Right now i don't use a hosted vector DB. I originally had Chroma early on and it...

    That’s phenomenal and a great idea. I could see that working great for courses. Especially if it’s pulling from your own content it has your voice and it knows your way of doing things. Pretty damn close to what I’m trying to figure out. I also see it as the future. All the information is...

    Okay so we were on the same page then about the SOPs, goes to show how much I know lol. Yes those three layers are exactly what I had in mind myself and how I’ve been building it. I also agree that so far it really has not much to do with AI either. Even though I have the chat feature it’s more...

    This makes total sense. And I realized how AI can amplify chaos just as easily as it can order with the first iteration of the app which killed trust at least in my eyes immediately. The thing that doesn’t translate to the trades cleanly is the strict SOPs that I imagine take place in an office...

    One thing I’ve been thinking as well is maybe I shouldn’t make this something that would be a DTC product at all that’s just general lineman knowledge but focus more on one core issue that is: knowledge walking out the door when someone leaves or retires. I have my own experience as at least...

    This is great thank you so much! I will have to give this a try and see what happens with it. I’m really genuinely unsure of how the retrieval documents should be structured for the best output. Originally before I had any user facing content to read each doc was structured for the model to...

    Cheers everyone, I read some threads in here a few months ago about using antigravity to spin up software and it caught my attention. I had an idea I tossed around in my head for a couple years now but never had the means to actually build something to test it out so I committed to learning how...

    Did I get bad advice? (Physical product thread)

    IDEA EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    I think this is the way. It will also help me fail as fast as possible. Had a meeting today with a buddy helping me produce a finished product. I will have one done within the next week to week and a half. Once the tool path is sorted out with the first one he said it should take about 15 min...

    Did I get bad advice? (Physical product thread)

    IDEA EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    Thanks dude. I will keep this in mind. At the end of the day I believe in it to do what I want it to do, and I believe it will do the same for others. That's the value skew I see. Will try to focus heavily on that moving forward.

    Thank you for that. I'll make sure to gauge any interest I get based off these metrics otherwise they truly are just words.
