Why I disappeared for 3 Months & What’s Next

I’ve been quiet since November because I’ve been building.

Over the past few months, AI has moved so quickly that the barrier between an idea and a high-powered system has essentially vanished. Even as a non-developer, I’ve found that working with AI is like having a small team of A-level developers who work for $40 a month and can write 1,000 lines of code in minutes.

So since November I have been in a state of effortless flow, where I built two major projects:

  1. The AI Directory: A platform to navigate the explosion of AI tools. It can help you find the right AI tool based on use case, industry, department, etc. It’s already scaled to 15,000 visitors per month.
  2. The Game of Life: A project I’ve been dreaming of since 2018. It’s an AI system designed to understand your unique psyche and core fixations to help you become meta-aware. It’s a tool for improving life quality and mental health, and it’s been life-changing to build.

What these projects demonstrated to me is that we are now in the era of Creative Sovereignty.

One person can now build world-class infrastructure in weeks. What was once impossible because of the “development triangle” — where you had to choose any two: Low Price, High Quality, or Quick Time — is now the norm.

In the same way electricity brought the Industrial Revolution into the home via appliances, AI is bringing the Tech Revolution home to the individual.

Talk soon,

Stefan
