ISC West is a month away. Which reminds me one of the most painful assets to make: catalogs. More specifically, the spec table. Somehow typos are endless. This is my 2026 prompt to aggregate all specs and find discrepancies. It’s an extension of the datasheet rebrand project.

Electricity made tractors available in masses. But tractor didn’t replace farmers in the first discovery, it took iteration. The first tractor was powered by steam. It was delicate and expensive and required trained operators. This was a prototype. Prototype isn’t built for volume. So it didn’t look like a threat. The sight of mid field…

Electricity enabled industrial revolution. Farmers no longer rely on hard labor to harvest. Tractors and machines amplified the crop volume. Internet enabled information revolution. Farmers in Brazil can connect with farmers in Vietnam, it is easier to find cure to plant diseases. Crops can be harvested in warm countries during winter and shipped over. Quality…

AI makes manual work embarrassing. The more LLM used, the stronger resistance to manual work. AI became the default. But some tasks are not obvious. Tangled and complex enough that can’t decipher right away. This is what I ran into. I’m tasked to rebrand 55 preliminary datasheet to branded datasheet. Rebrand includes: I also have…

1> Prompt libraries from OpenAI, Claude AI, Gemini.2> Reverse engineer frequently used chats.3> Reverse engineer swipe files in presentation outline, design ideas (see this, and this).

To board write and explain is difficult. It requires deconstruction of the concept. It requires voice and writing to synchronize. It requires practices. AI tools gave us an opportunity to leapfrog, fully utilize separate tools to handle voice and visual. Create a pattern with micro processes. Here’s how.1> Open Gemini and select image.2> Express the…

Gemini images are amazing for sales kit. The watermark isn’t. Cropping sometimes cuts off information. Turns out Windows and Mac both have free AI erasers built in. Windows Mac

Both Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kloen and Jeff Su’s YouTube talked swipe file. Swipe file allows me to apply creativity from those who have already done it, to my context. Great outline takes time. Like most people, I don’t work in the cutting edge technology or the top tech companies. I don’t always…

I previously wrote about reverse engineering visual backgrounds for my slide use. Similar technique applies to key visual too. The example in this case: The problem: Platform: Gemini Step 1> Reverse engineer the source image into possible prompt Step 2> Change the elements in the prompt Reverse engineered prompt A photorealistic studio portrait of a…

Block-style background is popular way to visual listing. It is also time consuming. And either designers are occupied or not every slide requires designer to step in. First, the result. The problems: Here’s how. Step 1> Strip off the elements from the source image Step 2> Decide the number of blocks Tip: choose a source…
