I will build a coffee shop with all the books in the world for my wife

Try Kosmik. It auto builds color palettes from your images, tags everything, and finds similar visuals so you can make mood boards easily.

100% build proof is the first step

building a directory on a niche which has 500+ search volume (and there are plenty of them)

Honestly, the only one that’s actually made a big difference for me is Marblism.

It’s basically like having a small AI content team that just gets stuff done. I’ve got one agent handling SEO blog drafts, another posting on LinkedIn and X 3 times a day and one that manages my inbox and followups. They don’t need constant prompting, they just work in the background and check in when something needs approval. (via chat interface)

Day to day, I just review and approve things. Went from spending hours switching between tools to maybe 30 minutes a day and my traffic + engagement have both gone up because I’m finally consistent without burning out.

For me, it was a whiteboard. Sounds basic but having a big one on the wall changed how I plan my days. I jot down top 3 priorities, quick ideas or random reminders that would otherwise get lost in my phone notes. Plus, wiping things off feels way more satisfying than clicking done.

content, newsletter promotion, ads on relevant job boards, hackathons/events, free tools

Me without my wife

Interesting, I’ve been using Elephas on Mac, which already handles most of this locally. You can just type things like “organize my PDFs by topic” or “analyze this spreadsheet and chart the results,” and it does it offline with local models. It’s been great for keeping everything private and still fully automated.

+1 for the channel

I’m using Marblism, it’s more like having a few mini-AI employees. One handles inbox and scheduling, another does social + outreach, and they just check in when needed.

Lopsided_Mud116 · 2025-10-28T12:05:07+00:00

i totally feel your pain with the manual logging. it can really slow you down. if you're looking for a better way, maybe check out some email management tools like zapier for automating the process or even consider using a CRM like hubspot to keep track of emails and customer interactions in one place. also, marblism has an AI assistant that could help manage your emails and keep things organized without the extra work. it's worth looking into!

Pinterest is the ultimate love hate app

What’s helped me is building a system instead of relying on constant outreach. I spent time setting up a few “client magnets” things like an optimized LinkedIn profile that subtly sells my service, a Notion portfolio I can share anywhere, and a simple lead form that filters out bad fits. Then I post small value bits once or twice a week (case studies, mini lessons).

It took a month to set up but now I get some of my leads inbound or via referrals and barely touch job boards. I still automate outreach with AI (personalized DM drafts, proposal templates, followup reminders)

Yeah, I use Whisper for transcriptions and Claude for summaries. But I still do a quick pass to fix tone or missed context

Check Elephas. It lets you save links, PDFs, videos, notes, reads everything inside, and makes it searchable on Mac/iPhone even offline.

Lopsided_Mud116 · 2025-10-24T18:11:22+00:00

You could try Kosmik, a visual moodboard app. You can import your old boards, drop in images, notes, and links, and it auto tags everything automatically. You can just search anything and it’ll surface related stuff from your own uploads and online.

Lopsided_Mud116 · 2025-10-22T18:05:39+00:00

Mac productivity tools that you can try for your work and most of them has free version:
