Good morning, friends! (Actually, I write the Tuesday morning emails on Monday nights, lying on my couch while watching Monday Night Football, but thanks for rolling with it.) Today on the site I have a mammoth 4,000-word article that you don't need to read unless you want to learn how to create a Youbot that will earn or save you tens of thousands of dollars. And no, you're not expected to know what a Youbot is, because they're a thing I just made up last week. Here's the article: AI That Works: How To Build A Youbot If 4,000 words and the accompanying 50 hours of work you probably need to do in order to create a high quality Youbot by yourself sounds like too much, I can also develop one for you in exchange for a pint of Ben & Jerry's plus all the spare change in your couch. And if you don't care about giving yourself superpowers at all, you might want to at least visit the article and skim it anyway because there are like 10 pictures of cute robots on it, including these lil' guys: That's about all I have today, except to say thanks to everyone who tested my Ideation Engine last week and gave some feedback - I appreciate it.

If I get enough interesting...
I may regret this . . . it remains to be seen, haha 😬 But I think we can afford to give away our full $1,000/month YouBots platform to nonprofits for free, based on the money coming in from regular paying customers. For more details on where we are as a business, check out the LinkedIn post I just put up: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7322712667536642051/ If you or someone you know works for or with a nonprofit, they'll want to see this.

it me The internet as we know it today became prominent around 1993. I was 15 years old, and I started making my living from it just a few years later . . . which means that I’ve been working in this space for the majority of my life – over 30 years. I used to enjoy going online. The connections I made with people were almost always positive. I learned new and interesting things. I witnessed creativity and beauty in so many forms. I spent many years building philanthropic communities,...
