A.I. Powered Movie/Show Recommendation Engine

šŸŽ¬ Ever Found Yourself Stuck on What to Watch?

ā“ What should I watch tonight?

šŸŽ­ Itā€™s family movie night, but no one can agree on a film.

Introducing https://flixrecs.com/ - an A.I powered movie/show recommendation app that uses deep learning, to provide you with the best movie/show recommendations known to man!

šŸŽ¬ Stop searching on five different streaming appsā€”Flix Recs finds the perfect movie or show across ALL platforms in seconds.
āœ… Ask anything: ā€œFind me mind-bending sci-fi thrillers on Netflix?ā€
āœ… Get real-time streaming availability, so you know exactly where to watch.

šŸ’” Why This Matters: No more endless scrolling. No more switching apps. Just instant, AI-powered recommendations that actually work.

Flix Recs actually understands your taste.
āœ… As you add items to Wishlist/watchlist Flix Recs can easily curate personalized recommendations for you on your dashboard.

But enough of me blabbing, at this time, the website is still in it's early phases and currently looking for constructive feedback, to test the engine and would love the community to try my app!

I built a local AI text editor

https://novice.so

Most companies donā€™t allow employees to use public AI tools at work due to data risk concerns.

https://preview.redd.it/coiqidz8v8he1.png?width=3984&format=png&auto=webp&s=b2e3191923406101138b630c60a5e46d3a02e82d

So I built Novice, it offers a NotebookLM-like experience on your own computer. NotebookLM is great for research and writing, but imagine the benefits of having a similar experience powered by local AI, keeping your data secure while still harnessing advanced writing and research capabilities. Try it for free, it's available for all Macs with Apple-Silicon, Windows users stay tuned :)

I Recreated An AI Phone Agent That Led To A 35% Increase In Closed Sales For An HVAC Company

In the HVAC industry, especially during peak seasons, managing customer inquiries efficiently can be a significant challenge. Inspired by a recent case study, I developed an AI phone agent to address this issue.

Iā€™ve also added the case study below along with a number to the demo voice agent I created to see if this is something people would really be interested in.

Case Study:

A regional HVAC provider faced difficulties handling the surge in customer calls during extreme weather conditions. Approximately 25% of inbound calls went unanswered during peak heating or cooling seasons, leading to missed sales opportunities and decreased customer satisfaction. Staff spent about 35% of their time on repetitive scheduling tasks, detracting from on-site work and sales consultations.

Solution:

To tackle these challenges, the company implemented a Voice AI Agent capable of:

  • 24/7 Availability: Ensuring customer calls were answered promptly, regardless of the time.
  • Efficient Scheduling: Handling routine maintenance bookings and new system consultations swiftly, with most calls managed in under a minute.
  • Immediate Response: Providing instant answers and follow-up scheduling

The AI voice agent greets callers and identifies their needs, whether it's scheduling repairs, inquiring about new HVAC installations, or requesting emergency services. It checks real-time availability of technicians or sales representatives to book appointments or escalate urgent cases. For basic troubleshooting, such as resetting a thermostat, the AI Agent offers step-by-step instructions before dispatching a technician.

Results:

After implementing the Voice AI Agent, the company saw a decrease in missed calls from 25% to less than 1%, improved booking efficiency, and a significant 35% boost in sales due to immediate customer engagement.

Here is the number to the demo agent that I created: +1 (210) 405-0982

I'm keen to hear your thoughts and discuss how this technology could be adapted to various industries.

LinkedIn Profiles are Lifeless

Job searching last year made me realize how one-dimensional and restrictive resumes and LinkedIn profiles are. They donā€™t capture who you really are beyond lifeless bullet points. Plus, it's why there's a rise in personal micro-sites being created. So, I built the platform I wished existed when I was looking. Itā€™s your resume essential ... and a modern way for business and tech professionals to stand out and land more interviews with engaging and interactive profiles. You can share your profile externally, or get discovered by employers using the platform.

ThinkĀ Linkedin Profiles meets TikTok ... engaging, dynamic, fun and thoughtfully designed for todayā€™s generation and competitive job market.Ā Iā€™m looking for beta testers for the last week of February. If you're job hunting (or just curious), Iā€™d love for you to try it out. Just sign up for the waitlist and we'll reach out.

Sharing my favorite feature - every piece of written content you see here will be created for you upon uploading your resume. And, if you're not comfortable with video, you can use audio, or just stick with written formats.

Here's a premature demo - 4 weeks out from launch.

I'm tired of failure it's time to start with people, not with money in mind

Hello

I learned my lesson. I have to focus on an audience, and by audience I mean a group of people that share some interest.Ā 

I have been doing the thing in the opposite order.Ā 

I build something for a specific audience and then reach out to them without too much understanding of them.Ā 

This approach has not worked so far in the last 4 projects I have done ā€” last 11 months. So this is my new philosophy: I want to be deeply enough involved in some community so I understand their needs.Ā 

Then I want to talk to them about what they are facing, and only then build something about that based on the data I found. Also, the audience I build for has to be based on my interest and not on the money. Work only for money makes you feel bad, and once things get uncomfortable or hard itā€™s easier to loose interest.Ā 

So this time, it has to be something I really enjoy, and I want to feel like Iā€™m having an ongoing conversation. I donā€™t want to build something I donā€™t care about, for people who donā€™t care about it. I really love learning and building software. I am a professional dev with a software degree and 5 years of experience and 1 year of failed software entrepreneurship. I love to read and share that knowledge with my friends. If there is something I want to talk with, that audio has to be related to my professional interest.Ā 

Where do you think I can find people like that to talk to? Iā€™m thinking about x, but even though, how do you find that specific type of person on social media? Iā€™m not a social media guy. I want to know, what do you think about my thoughts?

Wish you luck on your personal journey !

OpenPerplex Alternatives

I have been using OpenPerplex (https://openperplex.com/) to get the latest new about company. It does a very good job by scraping company's website and also their social media platforms which is great! However, it is expensive to use for my project and also has hard rate limits!

Can you folks recommend some newer alternatives? Specifically which works with web search well.

TIA!

Deleted My First Real Customerā€¦ Oops

A few weeks ago, I deployed my web app to productionā€”mainly to see if everything works well and as expected. No marketing, no announcements, just vibes.

A few hours later, three new accounts popped up.

Not just any accountsā€”all with eerily similar emails. My immediate thought? ā€œNo way these are real. This has to be bots, scammers, or some weird automation abuse.ā€

So, naturally, I deleted them. Instantly. No questions asked. No hesitation. Just pure, top-tier Founder Instincts.

Then, as a second security step, I panicked even harder and slammed the site into maintenance modeā€”while having dinner with my fiancĆ©e and her parents. (Because nothing says ā€œfuture son-in-law of the yearā€ like anxiously shutting down your own business at the dinner table.)

At midnight, after seeing no more activity, I figured whatever was going on had stopped, so I removed maintenance mode and called it a day.

The next morning, I checked my user listā€¦ and there they were again.

The exact same three accounts.

At this point, my brain short-circuited. Had my deletion not worked? Was my app haunted? Was I part of some elaborate social experiment where users gaslight SaaS founders into losing their minds?

Thatā€™s when I finally decided to check Paddle (my payment provider).

And there it was.

One of those ā€œhackersā€ had actually subscribed for $35/monthā€”before I deleted them.

Panic. Full-on, ā€œI am an idiotā€ panic.

And then, right after checking Paddle, I got an email.

A real human.

Asking why the site went down right after they paid.

At that moment, I realized I had spent my early days with this SaaS actively fighting against my own success.

So, I did the only thing I could: āœ… Apologized profusely āœ… Refunded their entire payment āœ… Gave them free credits as a gift

Thankfully, they came backā€”but this time, instead of subscribing, they only bought a prepaid product. (Fair enough, Iā€™d be skeptical of my own platform too.)

Out of curiosity, I asked them how they even found my SaaS.

Their answer? Make.com search.

Of course, I knew my web app had a Make.com integration for automating video creation, voice-overs, transcripts, and more, but I wasnā€™t aware of the power that search hadā€”or that I could gain actual customers from there.

So, not only was this a real customer, but it was exactly the type of user my SaaS was built for. And I deleted them.

Lesson learned: Always check twice. No matter what.

To prevent future self-sabotage, I set up a Make.com automation that sends Telegram notifications straight to my phone whenever a new user registers or a payment occurs. Now, instead of blindly deleting customers, I can at least panic with real-time data.

So, to my first ever customer: If youā€™re out there, thank you for your patience. I promise Iā€™m not always this dumb. (ā€¦probably.)

Kait-AI - Google Chrome Extension I built in the last couple weeks!

I just launched my first Google Chrome Extension called KAITĀ (Available now in theĀ Google Chrome Store)

It's a subscription based Google Chrome extension that allows users to highlight any section of text on a website and quickly analyze the text using the power of AI. If an article, post or other body of text is too large or boring to read, simply highlight the contents, open the extension and click a button!

Looking for feedback!

This a repost:

So, Iā€™ve been working in digital marketing for a while now (8 months), specifically in the entrepreneurial niche, and one of the things Iā€™ve found most rewarding is creating and selling digital products. Itā€™s been a journey of trial and error, but Iā€™ve developed strategies for building a personal brand and turning it into something sustainable.

One thing Iā€™ve noticed is that teaching others or sharing strategies requires more than just casual adviceā€”itā€™s a lot of information to unpack. To make it easier, I decided to get a program that lays everything out visually, step by step, almost like drawing it all out on a whiteboard. It also collaborates with other experienced marketers who bring their own insights to help anyone whoā€™s stuck or just starting out.

The price point Iā€™ve set for this program is $500, which includes bonus products Iā€™ve created that can be rebranded to fit your own style. Iā€™ve also added free, unlimited mentorship on top of it because Iā€™ve personally benefited so much from having an advisor. It makes the journey feel a lot less overwhelming when you have someone to guide you.

Iā€™ve been debating if this pricing is reasonable, given the value I try to provide. From the program content to the mentorship, I want it to be accessible but also reflect the effort and resources that go into it.

For anyone else in this space, how do you balance pricing your services while ensuring itā€™s a fair value for your audience? Have you experimented with different price points or models?

Also, if youā€™re just getting into digital marketing and thinking of it as a side hustle, here are a few tips Iā€™ve learned along the way:

  • Pick a niche that youā€™re genuinely interested in because it makes creating content and staying consistent so much easier.
  • Focus on learning evergreen skills like marketing, copywriting, or sales funnelsā€”theyā€™re useful in any niche.
  • Donā€™t try to do everything at once. Start small, and scale as you get better.
  • Build trust with your audience. The more you help them, the more theyā€™ll see value in what you offer.

If youā€™re in digital marketing, selling digital products, or even considering starting out, Iā€™d love to hear your thoughts! How do you approach pricing your services?
