01 The episodes

Everything I've built, one episode at a time

Each episode is one real thing I built with Claude Code — shown end to end, with the exact prompts and the free code to run it yourself.

My AI shops for the cheapest brain for the job
EP.23 · LLM ROUTING

My AI shops for the cheapest brain for the job

Running AI at home burns real money. So I had Claude build a two-layer router: one flag picks the cheapest model that's still good enough, then the cheapest host to serve it. Same prompts, same results, a fraction of the bill.

20 agents audit my machine while I sleep
EP.22 · OVERNIGHT AI

20 agents audit my machine while I sleep

One cron job at 01:00 fans out 20 AI agents that audit every repo on my machine for health and security, then write a single ranked morning report — done before I pour the coffee.

The next 15 dares, scripted in one night
EP.21 · CLAUDE CHALLENGE

The next 15 dares, scripted in one night

Fifteen daily Claude Code dares scripted in one night build — 9 built-in commands + 6 anonymized power-user shortcuts, one caption-first 9:16 spine.

I fed 946 of my prompts to six AI agents
EP.20 · AUDIT YOUR

I fed 946 of my prompts to six AI agents

Six parallel read-only Claude agents read 946 of my own prompts across 351 sessions, found my exact pain points, and handed me a five-pillar redesign. Here's the method, so you can audit your own AI usage.

Why my Telegram AI beats the official Claude app
EP.19 · TELEGRAM BEATS

Why my Telegram AI beats the official Claude app

Everyone opens the polished Claude app and desktop. I mostly use a Telegram bot and a bare terminal instead — same AI brain, but they sit next to my real files, inbox and scripts, so they can actually DO things. Page tag EP.11; built by the night build.

A Claude Code terminal rebuilding the media pipeline: generate via /media, edit via /make-a-video, post via Postiz
EP.18 · MEDIA FACTORY

An AI media factory inside Claude Code

The popular media-agent stack lives in a wall of n8n nodes plus a paid poster. I rebuilt the whole thing inside Claude Code: type an idea in chat and it expands the prompt, generates the video, captions and trims it, and queues the finished Reel. Make, edit, post — one terminal.

I let Claude build my n8n workflow — live
EP.17 · CLAUDE BUILDS

I let Claude build my n8n workflow — live

A client wanted to see how the automation actually works. So I described one real workflow out loud and Claude wired the whole n8n pipeline node by node, then fired it: draft episode to live URL in one click.

The doctor-vs-pharmacist positioning and the Constraint to KPI to Build method for deciding what's worth building with AI
EP.16 · THE METHOD

When AI can build anything, knowing what to build is the only edge

88% of companies use AI. Only 6% are good at it. 30% of AI projects get abandoned. That gap is the entire opportunity. Here is the consulting pitch, the doctor-vs-pharmacist positioning, the Constraint→KPI→Build method, and the 60-second Matrix-operator video script.

A push-to-talk AI app installed on a phone home screen, talking back out loud and reaching every project on the desktop
EP.15 · VOICE AI

A voice AI on my phone that knows my whole life

Siri can't reach my files and the Claude app has no desktop voice. So I built a push-to-talk PWA that installs to my phone's home screen, routes each question across two AI tiers, talks back out loud, and already knows every project I'm running.

Claude Code sessions replayed and scored for novelty, feeding a pre-qualified episode backlog
EP.14 · CHAT HISTORY

I mine my Claude Code chat history for episodes

The sharpest ideas happen mid-session and vanish when you close the tab. I taught an AI to read my saved sessions back, score each chunk for novelty and surprise, and hand me a pre-qualified backlog — each idea carrying its own source transcript.

Jacob dropped into a Matrix-style scene as the operator who downloads AI skills on command
EP.13 · MAKE MOVIES

Now a computer geek can make movies

I'm not a filmmaker. But I built a skill that gave Claude the script, Seedance 2.0 the shots, and CapCut the edit — 18 seconds, two generations, zero camera. The 6-frame gallery shows the exact prompt behind each shot.

Today's Claude Challenge — a grid of 21 daily Claude Code dares across two tiers
EP.12 · DAILY DARE

Today's Claude Challenge — dare to accept?

A faceless daily series: one small Claude Code move a day. 21 dares in two tiers — built-in commands and skills I built myself — each one you can try in five minutes.

A Claude Code terminal acting as a media factory: typed idea flowing through three glowing stages — generate, edit, post — all in one chat
EP.11 · MEDIA FACTORY

My AI makes, edits, and posts my videos — I just type the idea

The n8n media agent plus paid poster, rebuilt inside Claude Code. Type a topic: it expands the prompt, fires kie.ai → Sora 2, burns in captions, trims dead air, and queues the Reel in self-hosted Postiz. $0/mo on the posting.

A terminal status line showing the model, effort, and two live fuel bars for context and session tokens
EP.10 · FUEL GAUGE

My terminal now shows how much brain my AI has left

Long sessions die silently as context fills. I had the AI build its own cockpit status line — model, effort, and two live fuel bars — so I know exactly when to /compact.

A website drawn as a glowing building with one lit doorway labelled llms.txt, an AI agent walking straight in
EP.09 · FRONT DOOR

I built my website a front door for AI

Agents scrape a site built for human eyes badly. So I gave mine an llms.txt, a JSON index, a tiny CLI and an MCP server — now any Claude reads the whole site from one command.

A paused tutorial dissolving into a grid of frames feeding a terminal — learn by not watching
EP.08 · NOT WATCHING

Learn things by not watching

A 20-minute tutorial I never played: one slash command cut it into 80 frames, read 565 transcript segments — then three research agents proved its money claims were ~4× inflated.

The night shift — a fresh AI session building an episode page on its own at one in the morning
EP.07 · NIGHT SHIFT

I slept. A fresh AI built the next episode without me.

Half past eight I gave it the idea; it asked six questions. I answered two from the couch and fell asleep. By one in the morning it had read the brief and built this whole page alone — then left a note listing every guess it made.

The globe overlay — 1,782 LinkedIn contacts and live packet-trace routes streaming over the teal Earth
EP.06 · YOUR WORLD

I put my whole network on the planet

The AI-built globe got personal: 1,782 LinkedIn contacts stream onto it as a living layer — thin pins, a terminal at 50 names/sec, and three real packet-trace routes. One toggle fades it all back to the plain globe.

The live Bite Size AI global activity network globe — glowing teal Earth with node and request counters
EP.05 · THE GLOBE

I gave an AI one sentence — it built a planet

A rotating, futuristic Earth for the brand, designed in one chat on claude.ai/design. Every prompt, the palette it guessed from a screenshot, and a live globe you can drag to spin.

The winning aurora v2 app-store screen style — dark teal poster with a phone mockup
EP.04 · OWN STYLE

I ditched the borrowed pencil style — my AI designs app-store screens now

Five art directions fought a style-off over the same screen. The winner became the house style — and sixteen screens later, the look is mine.

A hand-sketched map of Jacob's whole AI operating system, drawn by an image model
EP.03 · THE GLITCH

I asked AI to draw my whole system — it leaked secret codes

One prompt mapped my entire AI OS as a sketch — and the model quietly leaked raw colour codes into the labels. The glitch, and the 5-cent fix.

A hand-drawn-style diagram generated by Claude Code from a single prompt
EP.02 · VISUALS

I taught Claude Code to draw like a human

One skill turns a plain prompt into a hand-sketched diagram — no design tool, ~5 cents a render.

The winning Calm Lagoon palette board — teal swatches and a phone chat mockup
EP.01 · THE PALETTE

What colour is trust? I asked an AI — it overruled my pick

Six drawn candidate boards in two rounds, a winner called Calm Lagoon — and the moment the AI rejected my favourite shade for accessibility.

02 Proof of results

Constraints removed, KPIs moved

Each case: one thinking constraint that was blocking progress, the metric that proves it's gone, and the AI system that fixed it.

Case 01Publishing

Episode builds were a manual 2–4 h job blocking every publish

0 h Jacob-time — AI builds unsupervised overnight
Case 02Research

Evaluating a tutorial took 20 minutes of passive watching

20 min → 3 min · found 4× inflated income claims
Case 03Infrastructure

AI agents couldn’t read the site — every automation was blocked

1 command — any AI reads the full site in context
Case 04Observability

Context filling was invisible — sessions died with no warning

0 silent context deaths · live fuel bars in the terminal
Case 05In-house

The team’s AI problems had no owner — colleagues came to me instead

Inbound requests: 0 → team’s default first call for anything AI-shaped
See all channel builds with full KPI breakdowns → Client & enterprise cases — ten systems inside one product company →
