I'm Trey. I own a small business, run a YouTube channel, and I'm kind of obsessed with AI.
I started messing with AI the first week ChatGPT came out. At first, I just used it to brainstorm ideas and help me write emails, etc. But around that time, I was getting super burned out. I have a family, and with everything I'm doing with the business I just have zero time. I need to work hard to provide for my family, but I also don't want to be an absent father and husband.
I started to get really obsessed with this idea I learned from Justin Welsh, who I think learned it from Tim Ferriss: eliminate, delegate, automate. Basically cut out everything you possibly can so you can focus on the high leverage tasks. The tasks that actually move the needle.
I had done a lot of delegation, but I still needed to do more. Then I thought wait... maybe I don't need to hire a personal assitant, maybe I can just get AI to do this stuff. And down the rabbit hole I went.
I've gotten borderline obsessed (ok maybe not borderline, actually obsessive) about automating as much as possible with AI. And replacing as many subscriptions as possible with AI. I've been using it to save me time with research, and trying to teach it my brain and workflows so it can think and work like me. I want to use it to automate as much as I can and focus on my family, the things I enjoy doing, and the things that really move the needle.
Then I discovered OpenClaw, and that's when my obsession reached new heights. I don't say this lightly. OpenClaw showed me what was possible with AI. I still think we'll remember life before it and life after it. Regular AI = running a race with one leg. An agent that works while you sleep = two legs.
What I was able to do in the first two weeks with my new AI bot, Fred, is nothing short of incredible. We started building 30 apps, another 30 ideas in the "projects" folder, and even more in my head. This thing is so freakin' powerful. It's exciting and scary. You're only limited by your own imagination. And right now, my imagination is running wild.
These days Fred runs on Pi, a bare bones open source agent I've customized to fit how I work, split into profiles for SEO, code, finance, and writing. He still runs 24/7 on an old $200 laptop and cranks away while I sleep. Research, building tools, tracking my SEO, watching competitors, and a bunch of stuff I used to spend hours on. I wrote up why I left OpenClaw if you want the whole story.
This site is where I share what I find. Tools I actually use, things I've tried that didn't work, and how I'm using AI to run my business without hiring more people.
I'm not a developer. I'm not a tech bro. I'm just a normal dude figuring out how to make AI do the boring stuff so I can focus on the things that actually matter.
If you're a business owner or creator who wants to save time, save money, and scale faster, that's what this site is for.
