I’ve decided that 2026 is the year I put AI front and center into my workflow. 2025 saw me dabbling with numerous chatbots and coding agents as I built things at WP Engine.
But the space is moving so fast that it’s hard to keep current, especially when it comes to other non-engineering tools I don’t use day-to-day.
I stumbled on the AI Daily Brief podcast (YouTube, Spotify), and like the content so far. But my goal isn’t just to consume more content. Instead, I want to integrate AI into my daily routine.
The AI Daily Brief’s site has an interesting UX, and while poking around, I found two guided tracks which help guide you to using and learning AI:
- Projects to learn and use AI: AI New Years | 10-Week AI Challenge
- Projects to build you Agentic Swarm: Claw Camp — Build Your Agent Team
So, nothing concretely built yet, but I’m looking forward to seeing where this structured, playful approach takes my technical workflow over the next few months!
