<p>Not yet a game developer.<p>Am a solo founder building an n8n/Airtable-backed agent system that walks businesses through a growth framework instead of open-ended chat. It outlines tactics and generates deliverables matched to the company and its target market. Not generic content. Human in the loop is available at key moments if needed.<p>Still have a boatload of technical fixes to deal with, then promotional activities to get right.<p>The problem I'm in right now is output formatting: getting the model to recognize when to produce a web page vs an RTF doc vs a self-contained HTML slide deck, vs text only, each with different constraints and without bolting on new libraries or infra every time. May work on a more polished version after MVP launch when I can hire a developer to run with what I've been building over the past year, whenever life would let me sit down and work on it.<p>The AI Agent I am working on is at vectyn.com/subscribe<p>It is functional. But I have not begun promoting it yet. Not ready for a formal launch. I have tech steps to finish, an affiliate system and affiliate content to build, need to finish writing training materials for a remote sales team, plus create other promotional content, etc.<p>The AI Agent is helpful for me too but only in a few areas. It is not designed for startups. I should have thought that through a year ago. Ironic :/</p>

<p>This is disheartening to hear. This year I began slowly switching my domains to NameCheap from Godaddy before renewal because of the huge difference in price plus the added NameCheap free stuff Godaddy charges extra for. I guess there's a reason NameCheap is cheap :(<p>Was your domain in 'locked' status, preventing transfers etc?</p>

<p>To be honest, I did not know others are using AI to make cookie cutter looking landing pages.<p>I've used AI to create landing pages. But from the sound of things, probably not the way others do.<p>1) I use a custom GPT to 'swipe' the appropriate concepts from one of the hundreds of winning b2b or b2c sales letter in my swipe file collection that best matches who I am selling to, and then have the GPT convert my notes and product details and company details and avatar details into a sales offer based on the winning concepts uncovered by swiping the winning offer, _never_ copy the words, not even paraphrase<p>2) After the GPT gives me the converted copy, I give that content to chatgpt and claude for copy improvements and then have chatgpt give me landing page HTML+CSS from the approved sales copy<p>3) And then I find successful sites in the industry and tell ai (usually chatgpt first) to emulate what is working  behind the scenes for the winning site, and then have AI give me a second HTML+CSS based on the layout and design ideas etc uncovered from studying the winning performers within google/bing for the appropriate target market am also going after. I give the output to claude to see if chatgpt nailed it or missed the mark<p>4) If all is well according to both llms after several rounds of back and forth and push backs, I hand edit everything to look and sound closer to what I want it to look and sound like<p>Nothing cookie cutter about that.<p>I assumed everyone did something similar.<p>Oh. I do use wordpress themes extensively. So there are landing page 'templates'  with my own graphics and placement of the graphics, not the developer's graphics.<p>I am not a designer. But I know how to handle basic html and css editing if someone else deals with the initial hassles of building the HTML+CSS. I will never try that myself //shudder//<p>PS: If anyone wants the GPT let me know. It is free to chatgpt to users. Am not promoting anything. There's nothing in it for me to mention it.<p>PPS: I'm new here. If is appropriate to post the GPT here let me know. Otherwise I won't.</p>

<p>I have no formal training in mediating. But have used recorded audios for most of my life and later streaming videos. Lately this is the most calming meditation I've found so far: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T9Hb1-skNA" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T9Hb1-skNA</a><p>I focus on my breath instead of thinking about anything else. It helps lower my BP too. Like 117/68 or 70 despite having 'uncontrollable high blood pressure.'<p>I am in no way associated with that creator.<p>As others have said, the wandering mind is part of the process. Can be frustrating if not use those moments to learn to recognize those moments and accept them. Let them run their course. And then get back on track. Not directly try to fight those moments.</p>
