Serverless vs. Server-based. The showdown nobody asked for but EVERY dev needs.

Servers = control + performance 🖥️

Serverless = cost savings + zero maintenance + auto-scaling 📈

🔥 The winner? Serverless.

But the real question: are YOU ready to give up control for convenience? 2025-09-22 00:40:06 Serverless vs... 591 -12% 16 -83%
Not all AI needs the cloud. 🤖

Just found out about Windows AI Dev Gallery, a dev tool that lets you locally explore, install & run AI models with zero cloud cost. 💻

You can try models *before* they go into your app, and then add them into your projects with just a few lines of code! 🧑‍💻

Python vs n8n? 🤔

Python is a high level programming language. 🐍

n8n is a no-code tool for building automated workflows. 💻

Which is better? Let’s find out! ⚖️

Let me introduce you to my Web Development Toolkit! 👨‍💻

I don’t do much web development anymore, but when I do, this is my preferred tech stack! 💻

🚨 95% of big companies aren’t seeing ROI from their investments in AI!

But here’s the catch… it’s not because AI is useless.

So why isn’t it working? 🤔

Well, it seems that most people are chasing shiny new tools instead of solving real problems.

Too many people are trying to solve the biggest problems with the most generic tools.

What they should be doing is trying to solve the niche problems with the right tools. 🧠 2025-09-05 05:09:04 🚨 95% .. 557 -17% 15 -84%
If you’re a developer that’s building AI projects, guardrails are essential for helping to protect your application and prevent incorrect outputs being sent to your users (or the final destination of your workflow) 🤖

If you’re using a framework, they usually really easy to set up and can be a lifesaver for your project! 💻 2025-09-04 01:22:44 If you’re a d.. 6 -99% 0 -100%
Here’s how I’d learn to build AI Agents and Automations if I was starting from scratch! (Python Edition) 🐍

Covering the following: 

✅ Python syntax

✅ Automations with APIs

✅ ChatGPT, LangChain & AI Agents

✅ Real-world projects & deployment

Learning to code is still one of the most important skills in tech. In my opinion, no-code tools can only take you so far. That doesn’t mean they’re not useful though. 💻

Introducing my Stock Tracker Agent! 💰

This automated chatbot tracks a list of stocks that I’ve invested in and keeps me updated of any significant changes by sending me SMS messages! 📈

This project uses Python, FastAPI, Twilio (for SMS messaging) and OpenAI’s Agents SDK. 💻

If you comment “CODE” I’ll send it to you. 🔗 2025-08-29 05:36:45 .. 7 -99% 1 -99%

I built this Interior Designer Agent to help me on my search to move house! 🏠

The tool takes the floor plan of a house and generates some interior design inspiration based on my design preferences. 🤯

Thanks for all the support. I wanted to spend some more time of the video for this one to make it as high quality as possible. 😅 2025-08-21 21:36:26 REA.. 703 +4% 92 -1%
I’ve built an awesome automation that automatically invoices my clients at the end of the month! 💰

This is going to save me a few hours every month, so the time investment of a few hours to automate it is definitely worth it! ⏰

Introducing my Project Manager Agent! 🤖

This project actually uses 3 AI Agents to keep it running! 🚀

- A chatbot agent to help answer the users queries and commands
- A meeting processor agent to process new meetings that are added to the database
- An integration with the Task Manager agent from a few days ago

This tool enables anyone to deploy a virtual programmer that knows everything about the progress of their projects! ✅ 2025-08-20 04:56:38 Comment .. 504 -25% 105 +13%

Introducing my Email Inbox Agent! 🤖

This AI-powered Chrome Extension automatically classifies my inbound emails for me, without me needed to setup any tags or automations inside of Gmail. 💻

This is great because it means that even my new inbound emails are intelligently tagged, instead of just being categorised by a keyword. 🤯 2025-08-18 23:11:38 Comment.. 558 -17% 114 +23%

Introducing my Contract Reader Agent! 🤖

This automated tool reads my contracts for me and suggests changes that I should make based on changes that I have made to contracts I have previously signed. 📄

So it’s always learning which clauses I accept and decline, which should make the contracting process much easier in future. 🤯

This MVP is a great opportunity for me to essentially teach the agent about my contracts. Next, it would need an interface or chrome extension that enables me to use it as a companion while editing documents that a client has sent me. 🚀

Introducing my Content Analysis Agent! 🤖

This tool retrieves metrics on my videos’ performance at specific time periods and then compares them against a baseline set by my previous videos. 📊

 It then uses this information to generate a plain text report that I can read, instead of having to view the metrics myself, manually compare, etc. 📄

If I were a bigger YouTuber, I’d be paying someone to do this job. Well, now I don’t have to! 😉 2025-08-17 04:00:20 .. 531 -21% 100 +8%

I missed a day and I’m sorry 🤦‍♂️

This month I’m building 30 AI Agents to help inspire one million people to get into tech!

Unfortunately yesterday, I ran into a few bugs.

If you’ve ever built something before you’ll know that things don’t always go to plan.

I’m finishing up the next project now and will get a video out either today or tomorrow.

Introducing my Invoicing Agent! 🤖

This chatbot can execute actions directly on your Stripe account. It can do things such as:

- Send invoices 💰
- Manage customers 🧍‍♂️
- Process refunds 😭

This chatbot also demonstrates the use of MCP (Model Context Protocol) and how easy it is to integrate third-party functionalities into your agents! 🚀 2025-08-14 02:01:06 .. 495 -27% 105 +13%

Introducing my Task Manager Agent! 🤖

This chatbot demonstrates a simple tool integration for an AI Agent. The agent can make decisions to use tools and execute code within your project. 💬

This is what makes agents extremely useful in the real world! 🚀

Introducing my Newsletter Agent! 🤖

This tool automatically generates a draft of a newsletter for each on of these micro-projects that I’m building for this 30-day series! So in theory I should only need to proof read it before sending it out! 👀

This agent is definitely a work in progress. The prompts need some adjusting to get them outputting exactly what I want before I launch the newsletter. But the functionality is definitely there! 🚀

It’s built using Python, OpenAI’s Agents SDK and FastAPI! 👨‍💻

Also sorry for the late post today. I’ve been unwell so it’s been tough to get this completed today to a standard that I’m happy with. 2025-08-12 04:20:34 .. 599 -11% 126 +36%

Introducing my Video Editing Agent! 🤖

This tool enables me to automatically cut up my un-edited video footage into snippets using the original script content! 🎥

Honestly, this is more of an AI workflow than an “agent”, as the steps are already defined, but I still think this is a really cool use case for AI that needs to be included in this series! 😅

It’s built using Python, OpenAI’s Agents SDK and Streamlit (for the interface)! 👨‍💻

Introducing my Quotation Agent! 🤖

This chatbot tool enables me to easily price up my client projects! It has access to my pricing page on Notion, as well as the ability to search the internet to compare quotes to industry standards and offer suggestions for prices on services that I’ve never delivered before. 

It’s built using Python, OpenAI’s Agents SDK, Fast API WebSockets and Streamlit (for the interface)! 👨‍💻

Introducing my Content Research Agent! 🤖

It’s an automated tool that I can trigger directly inside of my Notion workspace at the click of a button. So all I have to do is think of a topic, and the research agent finds a bunch of relevant information to help me with my ideation process! 🧠
