Rob Charlebois posted thisI spent 3 hours writing a thoughtful post. It got 523 views. I spent 20 minutes writing a post with AI. It got over 15,000. So yeah… I think LinkedIn might be broken. This post is about #nothing. No pitch. No guide. No story. No CTA. No Framework. Just a bit of irony — I’m using AI to write a post about how mechanical AI-powered content gets all the attention. I know I’m not alone.If you’ve had a post that barely got seen, something you cared deeply about, that you hoped might get some views - drop it here so everyone can see it. I’ll read it. Others might too. Because maybe this post about nothing is actually about all of us. Let’s see what happens. #hackthealgo #beseen #seewhathappens

Rob Charlebois shared thisReality check... Today’s #AI is the worst you’ll ever use and it’s already reshaping everything. Kevin Weil said it best: "Even crazier: remember that these are the worst AI models you'll use for the rest of your life. Models are only getting more smarter, faster, cheaper, safer, more personalized, more helpful. The future is bright." Here’s why this matters to everyone no matter your title, industry, or experience: 🔹 This is the slowest AI will ever move again. 🔹 The gap between those who adapt and those who don't will widen faster than anyone expects. 🔹 Companies and individuals who embrace AI will compound value exponentially. 🔹 Those who don't will see their relevance, and their business value erode. Waiting to “figure it out later” is no longer a strategy. It’s a silent decision to fall behind. The organizations and business leaders that adapt will be the ones who treat AI adoption as an investment in growth rather than a cost will survive and thrive. The future isn't arriving someday. It's here. #AI #OpenAI #BusinessValue #Leadership #Growth https://lnkd.in/eEkWP_qM

Rob Charlebois posted thisChatGPT dug into my soul and left me rethinking everything I thought I knew about myself. These 5 prompts gave me insights even a therapist couldn’t. We usually think AI is for productivity—strategy, analysis, code. But sometimes, it’s the mirror we didn’t know we needed. This week, I flipped the script. I didn’t ask for help with a business problem. I asked ChatGPT to analyze me. Not my work. Not my goals. Just… me. Here are the 5 prompts that cracked me open. Try them yourself—and let me know what surfaces. Prompt 1 “Now that you can remember everything I’ve ever typed here, point out my top five blind spots.” It didn’t sugar-coat anything. It named patterns I’d spent years polishing as strengths—but they were really avoidance strategies. Prompt 2 “Now that you can remember everything I’ve ever typed here, what emotional patterns do I dress up as logic or productivity—but are really just ways I avoid feeling vulnerable? Then: Suggest a small, uncomfortable action I could take today to disrupt that pattern.” Prompt 3 “Now that you can remember everything I’ve ever typed here, if you had to describe the version of me that shows up the most in our chats—who am I trying to be… and what am I avoiding by staying that version? Then: What’s the risk of letting that version go?” Prompt 4 “Now that you can remember everything I’ve ever typed here, what do I keep hinting at, asking around, or circling—without ever directly admitting I want it? Then: Help me frame one bold sentence that says it out loud.” Prompt 5 “Now that you can remember everything I’ve ever typed here, fast forward 3 years. Based on how I think and act now—what’s the regret I’m most likely to have if nothing changes? Then: Design a 7-day self-recalibration challenge to help me break that trajectory.” Ask them. Don’t rush the answers. Let the mirror do its work. Try them—and tell me what hit hardest. DMs open. #prompts #growthmindset #chatgpt #ai #selfdiscovery #introspection Credit: inspired by a post from u/shezboy

Rob Charlebois shared this"…And you better start swimmin’, or you’ll sink like a stone." — Bob Dylan 𝗔𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 - 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹. I didn’t need a team or a roadmap - just a real problem, and the drive to solve it. Lately, I’ve been relying more on #ChatGPT Deep Research and running into some challenges getting research into a consumable format: • Formatting Markdown content quickly • Summarizing insights for executive audiences • Preparing clean inputs to train custom GPTs There wasn’t an easy solution - so in just two Saturdays, I built and shipped a working web app using #𝗔𝗜-𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 #nocode tools. 𝗣𝗗𝗙𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿.𝗮𝗶 solves my problem, it parses Markdown, restructures inline links to footnotes, and exports clean, professional-looking PDFs. There are open bugs, features I'd like to optimize but "𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗺𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵" and the 19-year old building an app in their basement isn't waiting for perfect to ship. Check it out here https://www.pdfmaker.ai/ Solving the formatting problem was only part of the story - this became an opportunity to tap into my deep-rooted drive to build and learn. Instead of going back to my first AI-assisted coding platform (Lovable), I decided to try v0 from Vercel - and integrate a Large Language Model (#𝗟𝗟𝗠) into the app. The surprise? It was 𝘸𝘢𝘺 easier than I expected - even on a brand-new no-code platform with which I had no experience. I was especially impressed by the native Groq integration, which I used to connect #PDFMaker to #llama-3.3-70b-versatile for real-time, AI-assisted document formatting. 🎁 Free Bonus: Comment “NoCode” and I’ll DM you 2 No-Code Prompt Guides + a Beginner’s Playbook to building your nocode app. This post isn’t about making PDFs. It’s about disruption, speed, and survival. The barriers to building apps and everything else are officially gone. And the evolution has only just begun. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 100𝘅 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 - 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲. The great unbundling is here. If you’re closest to the problem, you now have the power—and the tools—to solve it. #AI won’t replace you. But 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 will. Special shoutout to Casey Decker who was solving a similar problem at the same time - converting Markdown to Notion formatted text. https://lnkd.in/eTgr5qdB #PDFMaker #NoCode #LLaMA3 #Groq #v0 #Vercel #Lovable #AI #GrowthMindset

Rob Charlebois shared thisI'm an executive - not a developer. Yet, I built 3 apps in one weekend, with zero coding skills and <$20 Here’s exactly how I did it (and why you might care): 1) Thought of a simple app idea/use case. 2) Created a free account on https://lovable.dev/. 3) Wrote a prompt - describing what the app is, does, and who it's for. 4) Hit enter and watched the magic happen. 5) Built my first simple app in minutes (links below). Extra credit (don't be scared keep pushing ahead): 6) Refined my prompts to improve user experience. 7) Integrated an API for enhanced functionality. 8) Connected app to GitHub and Netlify 9) Fine-tuned app settings for better performance. 10) Linked a custom domain. Why did I do this? I spend my days driving growth at the intersection of marketing, technology, and data - and wanted to see firsthand what the #nocode hype was about. My mind was blown, and yours will be too. My weekend experiments with Lovable: 1) Photo background remover (<1 hour) https://lnkd.in/gmSTh6ve (credit remove.bg api) 2) Data Breach Email and Password Checker (<3 hours) https://credsensor.com/ (credit haveibeenpwned.com api) 3) What if Reddit and Quora had a baby? (24 minutes) https://lnkd.in/gUzuKFtn Important Note: Taking a product securely to market involves layers of complexity that I've appreciated from a distance so consider this a fun exploration of what's possible. If you're planning to invest significant time or money in an app on this or any other #nocode platform, always get an expert review. Read the full story in my first ever Medium post, and stay tuned as I explore what's next: https://lnkd.in/gs8yVcM7 P.S. Like many of you, I'm not a fan of the term "vibe coding." It reminds me of "cronuts," "jeggings," or the infamous "netbook" - hopefully, it'll fade away (no offense, Andrej Karpathy!).AI App Builder | Vibe Code Apps & Websites with AI, FastAI App Builder | Vibe Code Apps & Websites with AI, Fast

Rob Charlebois liked thisOn May 19, we officially unveiled a new Sectigo brand and positioning, one that better reflects where we’re headed. This goes beyond a new look. It’s a clearer commitment to solving a very real problem: digital trust doesn’t have to be complex. In fact, it can be simple. Proud to be part of the team bringing Simplicity at Scale to life and helping shape the story behind it. 👏 #Sectigo #Rebrand #DigitalTrust #Cybersecurity #PQC #SimplicityAtScale

Rob Charlebois liked thisRob Charlebois liked thisRun your entire GTM stack inside Claude Code. Plug Claude into Apollo, Instantly, Gmail, Slack, and your CRM. Free repo from Jan Rasmussen, our Enterprise Account Executive. For the past two years, real GTM engineering meant learning Clay, understanding the schemas, and having someone on the team who could code. That's changing fast. Open source repos are democratizing GTM engineering. Clone, plug in your API keys, run. Each hook in this one triggers a real action in your stack: → Claude finishes a task → Slack pinged → Claude enriches a lead → CRM updated → Claude writes a sequence → Instantly loaded → Claude generates content → Gmail catches it No Zapier in the middle, no copy-paste, no manual steps. What's in the repo: - 32 hooks across 8 categories - 15 integrations - 18 content prompts - 5 role-based starter packs Open-sourced by ColdIQ. Free for everyone. Want it? Comment "REPO" and we will DM it over.

Rob Charlebois liked thisRob Charlebois liked thisUPDATE: DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING INTEREST here is the link: https://lnkd.in/de9uuBqV Canva and Figma should be worried. Here's why. Anthropic just launched Claude Design. I've been testing it. And I need to talk about it. This is not another AI image generator. This is not another template tool. This is a full design workspace Where you describe what you want And it builds it. Landing pages. Pitch decks. Animated videos. Email layouts. Campaign visuals. All on brand. All in minutes. Here's what blew my mind: ✅ You upload your brand guide ONCE and every project inherits it ✅ Landing pages in 10 minutes — responsive, mobile-first ✅ Pitch decks with speaker notes ✅ Animated explainer videos without touching a video editor ✅ You can iterate with chat, inline comments, or live sliders ✅ Export to PDF, PPTX, HTML, or send straight to Canva for polish The breakthrough: You don't need to be a designer. You don't need templates. You just need to describe what you want. And the output doesn't look like AI slop. It looks like your brand. I've put together a full starter guide Step-by-step How to set it up How to prompt it 5 ready-to-use marketing workflows With copy-paste prompts. To get it: 👉 Like this post 👉 Comment "DESIGN" And I will send it to you. PRO TIP: Save this post for later, I'll send the link as a response to your comment, so it will be the most certain way you don't miss the guide.

Rob Charlebois liked thisRob Charlebois liked thisNobody is talking about Claude Cowork - but the people who cracked the code are operating on a whole different level. I mapped out exactly how the sharpest operators use it to remove real work from their plate, not just move faster. The distance between casual users and power users is way bigger than most people realize. Most people treat Claude Cowork like a fancier chatbot. They're leaving 90% of the actual value on the table. --- Here are the enterprise-grade workflows Claude Cowork is quietly running in the background: → Calendar control and meeting logistics fully on autopilot → Multi-step workflows wired up and running end to end → Project oversight with live visibility across the whole team → Reports and analysis generated with zero manual lift → Inbox triage handled and drafts ready before you even log in → SOPs and internal docs built out and kept current automatically → Content calendars planned and scheduled weeks in advance → Competitor monitoring and market intel pulled on command → Contracts and business documents drafted in minutes, not days → Deliverable tracking dialed in so nothing slips through This is the kind of operational firepower that used to require a full ops hire. Now it sits behind a single prompt. --- Want the Claude Cowork Mega Prompt Library? 1️⃣ Comment "Cowork" 2️⃣ Connect with me 3️⃣ Like this post P.S. Repost for priority access ♻️
