I’m doing something different this week.

I'm deep in two projects right now. Both involve AI. Both involve me refusing to let AI do the driving. But they couldn't be more different from each other.

So instead of picking for you, I'm letting you pick for me.

I'm writing a book on courage. It’s a fantasy novel that also teaches you principles. I draft every chapter myself, print it, mark it up with green ink, and then bring AI in as my editorial partner.

In this write-up, I walk through exactly how that process works, chapter by chapter, word for word. If you want to see what a writer's process looks like when AI is the assistant and you're still the one holding the pen, this one's for you.

I built a subconscious for my ideas. Using a multi-agent AI system called Paperclip, I created something called Thoughtbed, which is a system that captures every idea, connects them thematically as they grow, and delivers mature ideas when they are ready.

In this write-up, I show you how it works and what it looks like when your ideas start connecting on their own. If you're the kind of person who wants to see how something like this actually gets built, this one's for you.

Which one you click tells me something about you.

(And yes, I'll eventually want to know which one you picked, so if you feel like it, just reply and tell me.)
