- [Crawl, Walk, Run, Fly: A practical AI adoption framework for agencies](https://floorboardai.com/crawl-walk-run-fly-a-practical-ai-adoption-framework-for-agencies/): The agency owner who tried everything and burned out is way more common than the one who quietly integrated AI. Here's the four-stage framework I use with clients.
- [I cloned my texting personality into a Discord bot in one night](https://floorboardai.com/i-cloned-my-texting-personality-into-a-discord-bot-in-one-night/): I fine-tuned an AI model on 178,000 Discord messages to clone my texting personality. Here's what I learned about when fine-tuning beats prompt engineering.
- [How I built a satirical news generator with Claude Code](https://floorboardai.com/how-i-built-a-satirical-news-generator-with-claude-code/): Recently I was thinking, what would a parody version of tech news look like? My latest project takes a GitHub repo URL and uses an AI agent to generate a satirical article about how it's "changing the world". Here's how I built it using Claude Code and a subagent architecture.
- [Completely custom slide backgrounds (no Figma knowledge required)](https://floorboardai.com/completely-custom-slide-backgrounds-no-figma-knowledge-required/): Even if you're not a designer, you can get nice looking, custom slide backgrounds by using ChatGPT and Midjourney. Let's take a look at how that works.
- [All educational content is now interactive 🤯](https://floorboardai.com/all-educational-content-is-now-interactive-%f0%9f%a4%af/): Any instructor, content creator or even just an average user can now create interactive visualizations of any concept that they can tell an LLM about. This is a massive unlock for learning of all types and in this article, we'll take a look at how I (or rather Claude) created an interactive demo for CGP Gray's lightbulb analogy for work life balance in just a few minutes.
- [Should you still be writing blog posts (in the age of AI-generated search results)?](https://floorboardai.com/should-you-still-be-writing-blog-posts/): For a long time, whether you were a software startup, independent consultant or e-commerce site, SEO marketing was a dominant strategy. Doing keyword research that led to writing specific blog posts designed to drive traffic to your site and get your ideal customers curious about who wrote such a specific and useful piece of content was a fantastic marketing strategy. Then ChatGPT, Claude and a host of other AI tools came along, trained on the entirety of the Internet’s content and able to answer user’s questions without them having to filter through the ads and all the other cruft on […]
- [Last Week in AI (05.20.24 - 05.24.24)](https://floorboardai.com/last-week-in-ai-05-20-24-05-24-24/): This week, we take a look at an amazing visual effect generated with the help of AI and a funny quirk of ChatGPT that allows you to always win at Rock, Paper, Scissors.
- [Should you still learn to code in the "age of AI"?](https://floorboardai.com/should-you-still-learn-to-code-in-the-age-of-ai/): I’ve been helping my niece with some of her computer science homework recently and talking to her about whether learning to code is something she’s going to continue or even make a career out of. One of the questions that’s come up is with all of this development around AI, is learning to code even worth it anymore? From code generation, to code optimization to code review, every piece of a developer’s workflow gets more AI-infused everyday. All of this is a pretty clear indicator that we don’t know what the role of “programmer” will look like in 5 years […]
- [Last Week in AI (04.15.24 - 04.19.24)](https://floorboardai.com/last-week-in-ai-04-15-24-04-19-24/): This week, we've got a little comedy as well as a really cool example of someone using a large language model to talk themselves through building a relatively complex app.
- [Who owns the copyright on AI-assisted writing?](https://floorboardai.com/who-owns-the-copyright-on-ai-assisted-writing/): AI tools like ChatGPT are reshaping content creation, challenging traditional copyright norms. A pressing question for creators using these AI tools is: who owns the copyright for content generated with the help of AI?
- [ChatGPT is actually a pretty great tutor](https://floorboardai.com/chatgpt-is-actually-a-pretty-great-tutor/): ChatGPT, especially when paired with a specific curriculum, can be a great private tutor. In this post, we take a look at one example of it doing just that.
- [Last Week in AI (04.08.24 - 04.12.24)](https://floorboardai.com/last-week-in-ai-04-08-24-04-12-24/): This week, we take a look at how the expanding context windows on LLMs are making journaling more valuable and a way of thinking about AI for anyone looking to build AI features or businesses themselves.
- [Last Week in AI (03.25.24 - 03.29.24)](https://floorboardai.com/last-week-in-ai-03-25-24-03-29-24/): This week, we get some perspective on just how cheap the new AI models from Anthropic are getting as well as take a look at some of the ways the US Government is using AI.

- [AI Can Help You Understand Code Quicker](https://floorboardai.com/ai-can-help-you-understand-code-quicker/): Whether you’re actively writing code and looking for solutions or just browsing around the Internet and researching interesting technical topics, you’ll often come across code that’s hard to read and understand. This is a great case where AI tools can help. Even if you don’t have any previous coding experience, you can get a lot of detail on some of the code you’ll encounter on the Internet. If you have coding experience and are more familiar with the code you’re encountering, we’ll look at how you can get even more focused answers. In this guide, we’ll take a look at […]
- [Last Week in AI (02.12.24 - 02.16.24)](https://floorboardai.com/last-week-in-ai-02-12-24-02-16-24/): This week, I highlight a couple "macro" observations that I agree with in terms of where all this "AI stuff" is going.

- [The AI Crash Course for WordPress Users](https://floorboardai.com/the-ai-crash-course-for-wordpress-users/): If you’re looking for the slides with all the links and everything, you can grab those here, no email opt-in required! There have been a ton of examples of “AI” in movies and TV over the years and technology is finally starting to catch up. Although it might be hard to tell, that image was AI-generated with the prompt: “35mm film still, two-shot of a 50 year old black man with a grey beard wearing a brown jacket and red scarf standing next to a 20 year old white woman wearing a navy blue and cream houndstooth coat and black […]
- [Last Week in AI (01.29.24 - 02.02.24)](https://floorboardai.com/last-week-in-ai-01-29-24-02-02-24/): This week, I highlight a couple "macro" observations that I agree with in terms of where all this "AI stuff" is going.
- [How an actual CEO is using AI in his company](https://floorboardai.com/how-an-actual-ceo-is-using-ai-in-his-company/): One of the comments I get most frequently when I talk about new AI technologies and tools is “That sounds awesome! How are people actually using that?” I have my own examples (most of which I share right here on this site), but I wanted some 3rd-party examples as well. That’s when I found Episode #61 of the “Smart Friends” podcast. There’s a lot of talk about AI features, but there should be at least as much talk about AI helping make non-AI features. Sean Devine on the Smart Friends podcast That quote from the episode caught my attention because […]

- [Turn pictures into structured data with ChatGPT](https://floorboardai.com/turn-pictures-into-structured-data-with-chatgpt/): I’ve been spending more time on the treadmill lately and realized that I wasn’t really keeping track of my progress. While I could create a spreadsheet and type in all the important numbers at the end of my workout, it’s much easier to just snap a picture. And once I get home, I can easily upload this picture and get ChatGPT to turn it into structured data, which I can put into a spreadsheet or whatever tool I want to use to track this data over time. This is definitely the sort of workflow that would make more sense if […]

- [Last Week in AI (01.08.24 - 01.12.24)](https://floorboardai.com/last-week-in-ai-01-08-24-01-12-24/): Welcome to Last Week in AI, a post I publish every Friday to share a couple things I’ve discovered in the world of AI last week. I spend way too much time in Discord, on Twitter and browsing reddit so you don’t have to! If you have a tip or something you think should be included in next week’s post, hit reply to this email (or if you’re reading on the web) send an email to keanan@floorboardai.com with more info. This week, we’ve got a few examples of situations where LLMs are able to be “broken” and see how that […]

- [Use DALL·E 3 to create a logo (sort of)](https://floorboardai.com/use-dall%c2%b7e-3-to-create-a-logo-sort-of/): OpenAI recently announced that DALL·E 3 is available to use inside ChatGPT, meaning that you can now create and modify images through the familiar chat interface. Since Floorboard is brand new and needs a logo, I decided to use DALL·E 3 to create a logo and try it out. The resulting experiment was super informative. Even though I ended up using the DALL·E-created image as inspiration for my final creation in Photoshop, this was a great example of what sorts of concepts AI can “understand” and where there are still some blindspots. Creating the original image I wanted a relatively […]

- [The Agency Success Podcast](https://floorboardai.com/agencysuccess/): I recently jumped on the Agency Success podcast to talk about how agencies can actually use AI in their day-to-day work. Not the “50 automated Instagram posts a day” version of AI. The practical, “I have client work to do and not enough hours” version. This page is a companion to that episode. Everything we talked about, the tools I mentioned, the framework I use with folks, and some links so you’re not frantically Googling while you listen. Two ways this plays out for agencies When I talk to agency owners about AI, I see it creating opportunity in two […]

- [About Floorboard](https://floorboardai.com/about/): Hi! I’m Keanan. I started Floorboard to be the site I wished I could read when I first got interested in AI. It seemed like all the advice I got about how to learn was “read these academic papers” or “just go through the docs”. I really struggled to read between the lines of what was just demo hype for Twitter and what was actually possible to build yourself. If you decide to stick around (and I hope you do), you’ll find a mix of a few different things here: You can always find all of these kinds of posts […]
