**[0:02] me:** Okay

**[0:03] me:** building public for today, August 4th, 2026.

**[0:10] me:** Uh quite a bit going on today.

**[0:13] me:** Uh worked on a video for using AI to tell a story about one of my products, and so that was

**[0:24] me:** good.

**[0:26] me:** Also, working on another app.

**[0:28] me:** My other app that I created is now in test flight.

**[0:31] me:** So there will be a link to that in the show notes for this if you want to

**[0:38] me:** get that.

**[0:40] me:** did a bunch of work on just checking through things, make sure things were working well.

**[0:47] me:** I had a meeting today with a potential client to developed some AI stuff

**[0:54] me:** for him.

**[0:55] me:** That was pretty good because it's in an industry that there I would just never touch.

**[1:03] me:** But that one was pretty good.

**[1:09] me:** And then

**[1:11] me:** that is, yeah, sent out a bunch of invites to my building a second brain thing next week that's happening on Tuesday and did a bunch of stuff with the driving school I'm working with.

**[1:28] me:** This is one of those things where, so today I needed to get signatures from 26 people, or 26 families, a parent and a student.

**[1:41] me:** And it was

**[1:44] me:** really interesting because it I knew how to do the process without AI, but by using AI, it did, um, it just made it so much better and like so much more accurate and correct, and fewer mistakes.

**[2:03] me:** So that was pretty cool.

**[2:04] me:** Setting that up in DocuSeal, which is my preferred document signing tool.

**[2:11] me:** So, yeah, good day today.

**[2:13] me:** Lots of stuff done, and

**[2:16] me:** glad that I was able to get it done so well.

**[2:21] me:** One of the things I'm still struggling with is I have this

**[2:25] me:** gauntlet loop that I've been trying to do with building some apps where Claude is orchestrating and sending things out to Codex and Rock, and ma'am, I cannot get Claude to stick with the task.

**[2:39] me:** It stops and says, Oh, here's a mistake that I made.

**[2:42] me:** And you know, it says these super annoying things, like, Let me see where's one

**[2:54] me:** just a moment

**[3:03] me:** Well, I can't find one now, but.

**[3:05] me:** Oh, here it is.

**[3:06] me:** My diagnosis was wrong.

**[3:08] me:** Zoomed in.

**[3:08] me:** The HP label isn't clipped by the screen edge at all.

**[3:11] me:** Grok fixed the safe zone correctly.

**[3:13] me:** The actual bugs in the first picture-in-picture overlays.

**[3:16] me:** The P, it's a spacing problem between the label and Pip Row, not a safe area problem.

**[3:22] me:** And then it says, I told Grok the wrong thing and it correctly fixed what I described, dispatching the real fix along with carried upgrade build.

**[3:29] me:** Now, here it is, like, gosh, it's just so annoying how it keeps saying, you know, I kept on feeling, I kept on not doing it right.

**[3:37] me:** And

**[3:39] me:** I told it to keep track of everything in a

**[3:43] me:** file where it's referring back to it, and then it goes four hours without updating the file.

**[3:49] me:** So, anyway, I still haven't figured out this whole

**[3:53] me:** This whole gauntlet loop thing or loop development kind of stuff.

**[3:57] me:** I'm trying it, but it keeps on falling short, and so like I can't trust it to still work on things when I'm not there watching over it.

**[4:09] me:** So, anyway, that's annoying.

**[4:10] me:** Still trying to figure that out.

**[4:12] me:** The video that I made today, I gave that to Anti-Gravity by Google, and it did a great job because I said, here's what you need to do, and then it just did it.

**[4:22] me:** And

**[4:24] me:** that was awesome.

**[4:26] me:** So there you have it for today.

**[4:29] me:** Link to

**[4:31] me:** the thing in the show notes today, to my test flight app for you to get.

**[4:37] me:** It's called Animal Escape.

**[4:39] me:** Hope you enjoy it.
