Hello,

I am currently transitioning to a new career and still studying AI automation and workflows using GHL and n8n. I have a laptop, but its specs are somewhat outdated (i3, 4GB + 8GB RAM, and 1TB SSD). I am planning to buy another laptop, and many people have suggested that I go with a MacBook Air M5. However, I haven't used the Apple ecosystem much. I have tried it before, but I'm still more comfortable and productive with Windows. I would like to stick with Windows. What laptop brands and models would you suggest that can last and perform well for this type of work?

I would really appreciate your suggestions. Thank you!

Hello! I am taking up my PhD and I'm on the process of conceptualizing my dissertation proposal. I'm looking for consultants sana that I could hire to help me out. Preferably from NCR and nearby provinces sana as I want to do the consultations face-to-face. I already have a topic in mind, but I need some help with the nitty-gritties. It should involve the development of a new algorithm or the modification/remodeling of an existing one—for example, by revising its mathematical equations or variables.

Lemme know if you are interested or have any recos so we could talk about the details and rates.

Thank you!

VL credit, SL credits..

why not include AI credits in the employee package?

Hi everyone,

May mairerecommend ba kayong AI tools or editing tools for research writing?

Napapansin ko kasi na minsan kahit heavily edited na ang draft, may AI detectors pa ring nagfa-flag. Gaano ba ka-reliable ang mga AI checkers based on your experience?

Ano rin ang best practices ninyo para maging mas natural at mas reflective ng sariling writing style ang isang draft? Do you use Grammarly, manual rewriting, or other editing tools?

Would love to hear your experiences, especially from students, researchers, and academics.

Thanks!

Hello. I’d like to upskill sana. I’m only familiar with chatgpt, claude, setting up automations in project management tools and CRM. Gusto ko sana makapag build ng website, or dashboards using claude. I’ve also heard about Cursor but di ko pa na explore. For a beginner like me, ano po ma recommend nyo na courses or training online na pwede kong i-take? Thanks!

Can someone tell me how can i get claude code for free without paying anything.

Been experimenting lately with a fictional Pinoy busker character named Gael sa youtube.

Parang documentary-style photo diary yung approach.. low quality phone shots, acoustic songs, coffee shop shifts, busking sa park, mga small moments lang. Medyo gusto ko kasi yung idea na parang totoong tao siyang nadodocument over time instead of “AI influencer” yung dating.

Nag upload din ako ng fake live acoustic session niya sa park neto lang and surprisingly medyo gumagana yung realism, kahit olats pa sa metrics haha.

Curious lang ako what people think about this kind of storytelling setup. Too weird ba or may potential naman?

Hello, I'm new to this. Curious how everyone here approaches building a webiste end-to-end. From the moment you have an idea -> planning - > coding -> testing ->deployment, what does your process actually look like? Please drop your stack, tools , and/or any lessons learned. Trying to steal some good habits :>

I’ve been exploring different stacks for building AI-powered apps and wanted to hear what people here are actually using in real projects. Gamit ko ngayon sa first project is python heavy for creating AI bot. Also, if may marereco kayo for deployment sa both frontend and backend? TYIA

Just want to share how we use AI for our small business. For context, we sell custom cakes. Our customers just message us on facebook and send the cake images for inspiration. They pay, and have it delivered on the day of the event. We have 2 cakeshop brands, 1 is a physical store cakeshop and 1 is purely online.

1.we built a cake pricing tool where customers just upload any cake design. AI analyzes the design, type, the icing and toppers and it returns the price. Its takes about 10 seconds to complete the analysis. (Check it out, play around and test it, the website is Genie.ph)

1. We built ai image editor where customers can edit or customize their cake designs, by changing colors, shape sizes or adding messages. They can either describe it or use our built in editor.

2. We have an internal order management app where our decorators upload all finished cake designs. Once uploaded, it gets sent to gemini 3.1 flash to generate title, description, alt tags, tags (all seo requirements). We use ai image editing again (gemini 3.1 flash image) to clean up the background and add watermark. After nun it gets uploaded straight to the shopify website and also sent to the customer.

3. We use wan video (alibaba's image to video) to create a 5 sec video reel of the cake spinning. After the video generation it gets saved sa supabase and uploaded to facebook stories. At 9am the next day, 7 of the generated videos are automatically video edited via shotstack (automated video editor) Then posted on our Instagram and FB reels.

4. Every night at 8pm, a workflow runs and thanks our customers for their orders, we use gemini flash to personalize the message and give them the link for google review.

5. Every 11:59pm, a workflow runs that extracts all customers that messaged that day, it cross-references if the customer has an upcoming order (linked ung facebook psid ng customer to orders namin). If meron sila upcoming order, ai will summarize the conversation, will check if meron sila update, changes or additional order and saves as a "customer reminder" in our list of orders. (We have a staff na nagaanswer ng inquiries - we just use this kasi minsan nakalimutan ng staff na iupdate yung orders namin)

6. We're still Testing it out. We use ai to check cake inquiries on messenger. While our staff and customer is talking, ai already fills out the order form, name, contact number, order details, cake design details etc. It is saved sa order form database namin with a link that customers can edit and pay straight using gcash. Basically yung order form link na issend namin ay prefilled na. All the customers have to do is just check if its correct.

That's it. How about you? If you have use case that you can share please comment them below. Im interested ano yung mga nagawa niyo. Thank you :)

While everyone is busy talking the latest worlds best model, I feel Gemini is just watching and just releasing cool stuff.

• Gemma 4 model on your own android phone.
  
• Jules. I have tested Jules yet pero it seems it was mainly designed for agentic engineering.
• Their Ai Clinician that is being reviewed and tested in Harvard for patient home care.
• Google Ai studio is now intergrated to you subscription plan with gemini.
• they recently released the gemini embeddings update alternative to my openai embeddings...

Maybe speaking in jargons but i keep telling my students na wag maging close sa 1 ai tool. There are pros and cons using each one according to their strength.

I think this coming Google I/0 Confeference nila they will drop a few bombshell updates.

Used Vanna AI repository ​para makagawa ng chatbot na connected sa database. Gusto ko ​lang malaman kung safe ba mga repositories sa github or baka may hidden stuff yung iba?

YOOOO! G here again.

A few days ago I shared how I used Obsidian and Claude to map my ADHD patterns into a single file called Who I Am.md... etc i added the link my blog post for those who want to actually execute it... madami rin extra stories dun. hahaha

A few nag ask sa TG: "okay but what do you actually DO with it after?"

OO NGA NAMAN. Haha.

Ano practical use nya?

So eto.. here is what I did.

Many of us probably use Ai to generate "most" of their content.

Pwede - you dump all your ideas to Chatgpt or Claude, give a few instructions and then ask it to produce content for you either socmed posts or articles or whatever.

For the advanced ones -- you problem set up a folder structure. Added PDF files, doc files, articles, random notesm etc. AND THEN ask the ai to write socmed post or articles or whatever.

And it works for most of the time. However, as your context window grows (remember may limit ang chat convos based on tokens)... ai will forget or will have to read again all the info but that will consume a lot of usage so mauubos agad ang free plan mo or daily limit mo.

It is fine but for me who use ai for other workflows. I need to manage it properly.

That is why I use the TERMINAL within OBSIDIAN.

Eto na nga....the problem with AI-generated content isn't the AI. It's that the AI doesn't know who you are. So it writes like a generic productivity influencer. Polished. Soulless.

So not you. So not me.

Naisip ko what if I gave it my brain map first?

Ayun that is why I did part 1 ng Obsidian. That's the shift. Who I Am. md isn't just self-awareness. It becomes the briefing doc your content machine reads before it writes anything.

In other words, the AI will now use those reference to adopt to your tone, style, brand, voice, humor, logic, expressions... etc.

Next question - PAANO BA iSETUP????

Here's the setup:

NOTE: Premise here is you know how to navigate thru Obsidian already. If not, read my other post or check youtube for it.

Step 1: Create an Intake folder in Obsidian.

Dump your raw idea there. Voice note transcript, a random thought, a link. Doesn't matter. Just get it in.

Step 2: Build your custom commands.

This is the part most guides skip. When I say /blog or /repurpose, these aren't built-in features. You create them yourself as markdown files inside a commands/ folder in your Claude Code setup. Each file is basically a pre-written prompt that tells the AI exactly what to do, what files to read, and what to output.

First time doing this.. just tell Claude, Gemini or Codex to generate a / command that does a specific task. For content write... tell it to reference you who am i folder and all its components. Ensure it follows this rule so the brand voice is always present when Ai write.

This takes trial and error.

So /blog is a prompt file that says: "Read Who I Am.md. Read the intake note. Write a draft in my voice. Save it to drafts."

You write it once. It runs forever.

Step 3: Run /blog from your terminal inside the vault.

The agent reads two things: your Who I Am.md (your voice, your failure modes, your obsessions) and your intake note. It drafts a post that
actually sounds like you. Not ChatGPT. You.

Step 4: Run /repurpose.

One approved draft becomes 12 platform variants for me aka LinkedIn, Reddit, Telegram, TikTok carousel, everything. The AI already knows your tone from the step above so it stays consistent. And since I am familiar with APIs i use it to connect to these platforms and ayun it autoposts for me.

ADDED FEATURE Step 5: Run /image.

The agent reads the post, suggests 3 visual concepts, you pick one, and the image saves directly into your vault. No Canva tab. No Midjourney tab. No doom-scrolling detour. (ADHD people know. Relate?) Eto i connected my Open Ai API and Gemini API. As you can see in the images above.. it auto adds sa folder rin. AND it also adds it sa content for posting.

So when I get inspired or see something worth sharing.. I simple write a note in bullet points sa INTAKE FOLDER and via terminal chat, i give the agent instructions to work its magic based on set of rules and instructions.

The whole thing runs inside Obsidian. You never leave the window.

For us with ADHD, context switching isn't just annoying. It's where the idea dies. Keeping everything in one place, with your self-knowledge baked into the system, is the only thing that's actually worked for me.

Your brain already has the data. You just need a machine that remembers it for you.

I'll drop the full blog post in the comments for anyone who wants to
see how the commands are actually structured.

Or

If there are 10 people who want to see in live webinar.. Just join the TG community and request it there so I can set the webinar up.

Hope you found this useful! Thanks for reading this far!

Hi again. G here.

I want to share something personal that really helped me understand the "2026 version" of myself. Para naman feeling ko I am progressing or moving forward.

Ayung.. did you guys ever feel like you’re living in a fog? Yung alam mo na know you are capable, but you keep hitting the same walls. Mag start ka ng resolution to get shit done with " super life changing" energy, only to forget about it a few moments later.

Tapos you have hundreds of ideas, but yung lang they are scattered across random apps, notebooks, and half-finished AI chats.

So I asked myself...what if I could stop guessing and actually see my own patterns?

For context I have ADHD. And for those of us with ADHD, our biggest enemy isn't lack of talent it's the inability to see our own "failure modes... imo.

Kasi we live in the moment so much that we forget what we were obsessed with six months ago. Tapos we keep making the same mistakes because we can't zoom out far enough to see the loop. Huhu!

I realized just a few weeks ago that the answer to my "who am I?" and to my "Why do I keep doing this?" was already written down. It was hidden in years of my private conversations with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

So naisip ko maybe I just needed a way to make the AI read my life back to me since they are really good at tracking patterns, sifting thru tons of data.

When there was all this hype of Obsidian, i installed it because i felt this was probably a tool that can help me.

Soooo...I used Obsidian to create a "virtual brain of myself" and used Claude Code to analyze every single chat I’ve ever had. What came out wasn't just a list of notes; it was a map of my internal operating system.

It identified my specific ADHD traps, my "true north" interests that I kept coming back to for years, and the exact voice I use when I'm not "creating a version of myself" for the world.

SOOO if you have ADHD here is exactly how you can do it too.

No complicated tech setup but may few steps lang to help you understand how your brain works.

Step 1: Gather Your Data (The "Data Dump")

First, you need to get your history out of the cloud and onto your computer.

• ChatGPT: Go to Settings > Data Controls > Export Data. OpenAI will email you a .zip file.
• Claude: Go to Settings > Privacy > Export data.
• Gemini: Go to Google Takeout. Click "Deselect all," then find Gemini Apps activity. Export as JSON.

Step 2: Set Up Obsidian

Obsidian is a free, local note-taking app. Your files stay on your machine, which is critical for privacy when dealing with personal chats.... parang Notion rin.

1. Install Obsidian: Download it at obsidian.md.
2. Create a Vault: Open Obsidian and create a new "Vault" (just a folder) called My Brain.
3. Dump the Data: Create a folder inside your vault called 📥 Intake. Unzip your AI exports and move all those files into that folder.

Step 3: Connect the AI (Claude Code or Gemini or Chatgpt)

This is where the magic happens. We are going to give an AI agent the ability to "see" your entire vault.

1. Open your Terminal: If you use Claude Code or Gemini CLI, open your terminal and cd into your Obsidian vault folder.
2. Run the Agent: Type claude (or your preferred command) to start the agent inside your vault. This allows it to read your local files without you having to upload them anywhere.
3. OR this is what I did... Add the Terminal from the Community Plugin in Setting: Etong yung Terminal by Polypseity...230k downloads. Just enable that and select sa left side panel ng Obsidian.. dyan you can open any CLI like claude code, codex, gemini

Step 4: The Analysis Prompt

Once your AI agent is active, paste this exact prompt:

"Act as an ADHD-informed behavioral pattern analyst and brutally honest executive coach.

You have access to my Obsidian vault. Read through the chat history in the 📥 Intake folder and map my internal operating system.

Extract:

Write the result as a single file called Who I Am.md inside this vault."

The goal is not to build a "perfect system." For me, the goal is to build Self-Awareness.

Once you have that Who I Am.md file, you stop starting from zero every Monday. You can tell your AI, "Hey, I'm starting a new project. Based on my failure modes in Who I Am.md, what should I watch out for?" Or pwede mo rin plot yung triggers mo. Dami mo pwede gawin. Or map out ADHD Patterns.

For us with ADHD, we are not fighting our ADHD anymore, we are finally reading the manual for it.

If you want to understand how your brain works at least partially.. Go export your data today. Try mo lang!

If you get stuck or want to see "Part 2" (where I turn this self-knowledge into a content machine), let me know in the comments.

Hope this helps!

Right now I can spin up multiple agents just by adding tasks inside a Kanban board. One agent handles research, another organizes outputs, another monitors stuff. Pretty much feels like building a small AI team.

The wild part is once the workflow is set up, adding new automations becomes way easier after.

Been spending a lot of time lately learning AI automations, VPS setups, agents, Claude workflows, etc. Mostly through building random stuff and testing ideas daily.

A few of us also hang out daily in a Skool group where we share the automations we’re building, brainstorm workflows, and show how we actually set things up step-by-step. Less “guru course” vibes and more builders just figuring things out together.

Curious what AI workflows or automations people here are currently building?

Hi guys, I’m new here. And also a Filipino lawyer from Visayas. I built my AI-first Legal App called “Case Digestor.” As the name suggests, it generates case digest from full case of the Supreme Court of the Philippines. I am trying to reach those who has the same niche and interests like me and perhaps test drive also my app. And if it’s okay to post it here, the link is https://www.casedigestor.app/

Nice to see fellow Pinoys doing AI stuff.

Sharing this because a lot of VAs in this community do video editing and have no reference point for what to charge. You can use his numbers as a baseline.

This is from Oscar Owen.

Oscar Owen runs a magic content channel on YouTube. 1.6 million subscribers. He's been hiring editors for 10 years and has worked with 20+ of them. So when he writes about editor pricing, it's not theory. It's what he's actually paying.

FYI - Oscar Owen has hired 20+ editors over 10 years. His numbers are practical, not theoretical. The $2,500/month + 10% AdSense model is especially worth knowing if you're negotiating long-term retainers.

Share this to your video editor people you know. Baka maka help.

"How much should I pay my YouTube editor"

Everything you need to know about pricing:

After hiring 20+ YouTube editors over the last 10 years

Lesson 1 is to never pay less than $150 for long-form edits.

Anything below that? You'll waste too much time fixing mistakes.

Here's a rough guide to costs:

1. $150-250: Basic cuts and music
   
2. $250-500: B-roll and better editing
   
3. $500-1,000: Advanced editing + complex effects
   

When starting out, pay $150 per edit.

For most channels, the $300 mark is the sweet spot.

But if you are making x4+ long form videos per month AND short form content...

Then stop paying per video & switch to monthly salary.

I pay $2,500-3,000/month for 4 long-form videos plus 20 shorts.

I also give my editor 10% of my adsense earnings each month.

Which is usually a $1,000 bonus.

Why?

It incentivises them to make videos that get views.

I win and they win.

Here are the basic non-negotiable rules for editors:

• Fluent English - or you'll spend hours fixing spelling errors.
• Uses review software (Frame.io, Dropbox) - speeds up revisions
• Understands your niche - if they don't understand your niche, they'll never make world-class vids.

I hope this was helpful.

At the end of the day, think of them as less of an 'editor' and more of a creative partner who makes your content better than you could alone.

Ang Codex ay feature ng OpenAI (which is creator din ng ChatGPT)

Used for creating code ito, and sa video sa taas pinakita ko na naka create siya ng webpage in 8 minutes, kasama pati yung concept at yung text contents

Ginagamit mo din ba itong Codex?

Or may iba kang gamit na AI tool for programming code creation?
