Building a Personal AI Model Map [AI Operators Bonus Episode]

Boot it up. Lights on. Game time. Hi, operators. We're building the future tonight. Press start. Watch the data take flight. Flip that switch. Feel Coffee on the desk. I said, hair don't care. Alright, friends. Today, we are gonna do something a little bit different. One of the things that I was contemplating at the end of last year was actually doing a spin off podcast called AI operators. The idea of AI operators would basically to be what I was calling a skills cast, where instead of focusing on the AI news, it would be all about using AI tools, building AI projects. And ultimately, what I decided is not not to do that per se. It's still something that's very much on the table. But where I wanted to start it first was to experiment with it in the context of the existing AI daily brief community. And the new year's AI resolution kinda gave me the perfect opportunity for that. For those of you who haven't heard or watched it, on new year's eve for the last episode of 2025, I put together basically a self guided AI resolution program, which was ten weeks of projects that anyone could do to try to upgrade their AI skills heading into 2026. Of now, of course, we weren't just gonna leave that an episode, so I vibe coded up a website to go alongside it. The website has the program with all of the different resolutions and projects that you can do, as well as an ability to share what you did with the rest of the community. We've actually had literally hundreds of people share their projects already in just the first week. And part of what makes this so fun is that because this is all vibe coded and because, candidly, the stakes are fairly low, basically, anytime that someone has had an idea to improve the experience, we've been able to just jump on it and do it. So for example, this team feature came when one of my Patreons said, hey. I'd love to be able to do this with a team, prompting me to think to myself, well, that's just about the most obvious thing that I didn't think of. And so sure enough, I was able to push a Teams update about ten minutes later. And now in the past week, we've had over 200 teams sign up to do this together. By the way, big shout outs to the Google Cloud startups team, by far the biggest team in the group. They have had 90 people join. We've also got a team from Meta that has about 35 and a ton of smaller company teams that have five, ten, 15 people on it. So really, really fun to see what you guys are all doing. Now coming back to this operator's bonus episode though, we are now in week two, model mapping. And the idea of this, in short, is to …
