Blueprint

I build with AI · I grade what I build

CURATED BY HAND · NO FEED, NO FILLER

THE PLAIBOOK

I ship real things with AI and put them on the board — the result, the exact stack, the prompt to steal, and an honest grade.

The board

What I built. Graded honestly.

Real things I shipped with AI — the result, the stack, the prompt to steal, and a grade that doesn't flinch. A faceplant teaches more than a flex.

40-page PDF → a 90-second explainer

Dropped in a dense whitepaper, got a narrated video out — no editing timeline touched.

✓ What worked

NotebookLM's audio overview nailed the script; Veo turned it into visuals hands-free.

✗ The mistake

First pass narrated the jargon verbatim. Had to force a hook line + an explicit “no jargon, explain like I'm smart but busy.”

The stack

NotebookLM★ Veo 3.1CapCut

Steal the prompt

Read this PDF and write a 90-second explainer script: one hook, three plain-English takeaways, one "why you care" close. No jargon.
