AI + Product Development

In 2025, I went deep on AI-assisted development — what I call “automate yourself.” Using Claude, Cursor, and local fine-tuned models, I shipped multiple products from my phone without writing traditional code. This includes:

  • A bestselling book co-written with AI assistance
  • Native iOS, Android, and Apple Watch apps
  • A Bitcoin multisig wallet with PSBT support
  • An AI platform running 10 custom fine-tuned models
  • Investor portals, prediction markets, and more

I’m now teaching this workflow to others through Automate Yourself — a workshop for founders and creators who want to build products without a traditional engineering background.
