Hey royals,
I've been building something wild these past few weeks - and I need to admit something upfront:
I don't know if Seraphina AI is going to blow up into a global phenomenon.
I'm not making a TED Talk about becoming the next OpenAI (yet).
What I am doing is building, iterating, and opening doors for people who want to support, experiment, and co-create with me from day one.
Not because I'm selling utopia - but because it's fun to build big, weird things with people who get it.
And speaking of weird...
Let me tell you why I launched a prototype three days ago.
It wasn't because I "strategically validated product-market fit" or "carefully executed a lean sprint."
Nope.
It was because Vicky spent an entire week hyping up a "young tech wiz with a multi-million-dollar system," and low-key implying that I should buy it - because apparently it's smarter, faster, and better than anything I could create.
So my brain went: "Cute. Let me build one over the weekend - to confirm I'm smart."
Petty motivation? Absolutely.
Effective? Shockingly so.
Seraphina AI is now real: Automating workflows, memory, insights, and onboarding - without me sacrificing sleep, sanity, or a dev team.
The wild part?
What used to take me + a team + 6-8 weeks literally took two nights.
Not because I'm superhuman - but because AI changes the speed at which humans can execute, if they know how to think, prompt, and iterate.
And yes - the web3/NFT thing is still happening.
It was proposed 6 months ago: Unlock utility at launch.
Now that we're approaching launch, it comes back onto the roadmap.
Genesis is still open until we go live - and then it closes forever.
Genesis members don't get a spaceship.
They get recognition, legacy rates, and the satisfaction of saying: "I backed it before it even existed."
Now - plot twist #2.
This Saturday is TEDx.
And I'm a bit worried I'm going to forget the guidelines.
Because for the first time ever, someone told me I should "memorise the script."
And my brain just... blanked.
I've never memorised a script for a speech in my life.
My entire speaking career is basically:
Get the vibe.
Read the room.
Reference what was said before and after.
Drop stories at the right emotional point.
Create narrative flow in real-time.
It's jazz.
Improvisation.
Presence.
Not recitation.
So when someone said "please memorise it," my mind went: "Error 404: Memory not found."
It's ironic - I can build a fully functional AI assistant in 48 hours, but putting 800 words into my own biological RAM feels like torture.
And here's the real confession:
I don't want to be a perfect TEDx speaker.
I want to be a real one.
Alive, imperfect, present, responsive.
Not a human teleprompter.
So I'm doing what I've always done:
Learn the architecture.
Embed the emotional beats.
And pray my brain doesn't blue screen on stage.
If I forget the wording, I'll make it up.
If I get lost, I'll tell a story.
If I blank, I'll laugh.
I'd rather be human than flawless.
And honestly - that's the same energy behind Seraphina.
It's not perfect.
It's evolving.
It's a prototype born out of ego, curiosity, irritation, and fun.
Not a guaranteed unicorn - but a living experiment.
And right now, I'm not chasing certainty.
I'm chasing momentum, creativity, and connection.
If you're here, you're not here because everything is figured out.
You're here because you want to build before it becomes obvious.
So thank you - for believing, backing, supporting, and witnessing all the chaos, confidence, breakdowns, breakthroughs, and champagne-fueled epiphanies.
I'll send a proper update after TEDx - assuming I remember my own speech.
Until then: Champagne, cognitive load, and quietly plotting world domination.
