Artificial intelligence is changing the world. But understanding AI is only the beginning. This New Series is about Building With AI. More precisely, it’s a path to building an AI Publishing System.

That is the challenge we explore as we learn to build with systems, agents, and solutions powered by AI.

This series is not about becoming a programmer or building complex machine learning models. It is about learning how ordinary people, creators, entrepreneurs, and businesses can work intelligently alongside AI to become more productive, more creative, and more effective.

Throughout the Living with AI series, we explored how intelligent agents are changing search, trust, websites, advertising, and decision-making.

Now we turn from theory to practice.

We’ll explore how AI can become a genuine co-worker rather than just another piece of software. We’ll experiment with emerging AI agents, creative workflows, research assistants, automation tools, and new ways of thinking.

Some experiments will succeed. Some will fail.

We’ll learn from both.

Along the way, we’ll look at new tools as they emerge—from large language models and autonomous agents to platforms that promise to change how we create, research, market, and build.

  • The technology will evolve rapidly.
  • The principles will endure.
  • The goal is not to replace human creativity.
  • It is to amplify it.

Welcome to the next Series.

Building With AI- Working Smarter. Staying Human.
Real Experiments. Real Workflows. Real Results.

What to Expect in This Series

This isn’t another series about AI tools. It’s about building a modern publishing workflow where AI becomes a genuine co-worker.

Together we’ll explore:

  • My First AI Co-Worker – when AI stopped being a chatbot and became a collaborator.
  • Recovering Twenty Years of Notes with AI – turning decades of scattered ideas into organised knowledge.
  • Testing TubeClaw and New AI Agents – what works, what doesn’t, and why.
  • CodeWords – lets us describe a business workflow in plain English and have an AI agent build, connect, and run it
  • Can AI Run a Marketing Workflow? – exploring automation without losing human judgement.
  • Building an AI Publishing Workflow – from research to publication.
  • Building an integrated AI Publishing System – integrating research, writing, blogging, video, podcasts, press, promotion, SEO, distribution, and AI discovery.
  • What Worked. What Failed. What I Learned.

The Workflow

From researching… to creating … to blogging …to video
… images ….podcasts … SEO … press … syndication
…. distribution … amplification…citations ….analytics
…. optimisation ….repeat

 ..
to becoming a trusted source for both people and AI agents.
