We try AI automation, data analysis and product building ourselves, then write up the process and results so you can reuse them at work.
My notes from turning on Gemini 4 Argon in the Gemini app with a Google AI Pro account and running the same questions side by side against 3.8 Flash and other models. What was different on a short question, 16 AI trick questions like 'the car wash is 3 minutes away', a data-interpretation trap and building a 3D game in Canvas, plus usage limits and API pricing.
At In The Loop on October 14, 2026, n8n unveiled a new logo, typeface and colors and moved n8n.io to the new brand. I put the old and new homepages side by side, walk through what each section says, compare how far the rebrand has reached n8n Cloud, self-hosted n8n and the Creator Portal, and show how to bring your own course and presentation materials in line with the new brand using the official brand guidelines and n8ndesign.md, based on doing it myself.
I handed the 50-level Adventure mode of the real-time PC game Plants vs. Zombies to AI to play on its own. This 9-step guide covers reading game state from memory, letting a program do the clicking, quitting likely losses early with a win-probability model, and showing the AI's actions and reasons next to the screen. Claude Opus 5.5 finished 50/50 in 13 hours, GPT-6 Astra stopped at 24/50, and I include why, along with the costs, in numbers.
When ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini suddenly throws errors or gives strange answers, check the official status pages first to tell whether it's your prompt or code, or a service outage. Here's the order I follow, plus a script that checks all three services at once.
A 12-step guide to Pickle, a Korean personal AI agent app: install it on an iPhone or Android phone, connect Google Calendar, check the disclosure settings and usage limit, hand it a schedule summary and a web research task and verify the results, then connect 21 apps and services, including ones that need a login. I also put the differences from Grok Bot, Meta Muse and OpenAI Dots in a table. Based on the Android app as of October 26, 2026.
Using one account, I switched back and forth between a Claude Team organization and a personal Max plan to see which features only Team has. Beyond @Claude in Slack (Claude Tag), on-call, project sharing, organization instructions, Skills distribution, analytics and spend limits, I cover the setup to do right after subscribing, in the order I actually did it: viewing usage per member, inviting Gmail members, adding an owner, claiming monthly API credits (up to $500 depending on seat count) and organizing the Console, and giving Claude tasks over Slack DM. The FAQ covers how to choose between Claude Team and ChatGPT Business (formerly ChatGPT Team), moving personal account history, and splitting seats.
In a one-day AI workshop for non-developers, initial setup alone took 2 hours and we only got through half the curriculum. Here's how I changed the way I run workshops, in 5 steps, including a check script participants run the night before and a timetable for the day.
What the M5Stack Cardputer ADV handed out to attendees at n8n In The Loop 2026 actually is, how to plug it into a Mac and identify it, the three event apps and Wi-Fi setup, how to swap the firmware and restore it, and what to use it for after the event.
If information can't leave the company, it doesn't go into AI either. Here's a 5-step process: checking ChatGPT and Claude training settings, a 4-line do-not-enter list, a Python script that masks and restores names, amounts and contact details, and a review checklist prompt.
When a Team or Max seat hits its usage limit, Claude Code stops. Instead of rotating through multiple accounts, set up a single claude-api command that runs on API credits (from a startup program, for example) and pick up the same conversation where you left off. This is the order I followed while actually setting it up, from creating the key to verifying it works and managing credit burn.
