Parker lays out how AI-driven “slop” can become a real business, then drills into practical systems for video planning, content strategy, and building a sustainable AI services brand—plus a concrete plan to reorganize his site and workflows.
Video planning and prompting depth
- Push beyond generic roles (e.g., “you are an accountant”) to deeper business-context prompts.
- Apply ICE-style scoring (Impact, Confidence, Ease) to prioritize features or content ideas.
- Use prompts to generate hooks, outlines, and frames for both mass-audience AI content and developer-focused content.
- Test ideas quickly with transcript-based prompts to generate titles, outlines, and hooks.
Content strategy: two niches and audience growth
- Two niches, two channels, one overarching mission:
- Mass-audience AI content (broad, explorable topics for non-technical viewers).
- Developer/AI-coding content (hands-on coding, tooling, and workflows).
- Build content around a cadence and a clear strategy:
- Regular beat for main channel content (targeted, higher-signal topics).
- Daily updates on the daily channel to stay top-of-mind.
- Use AI to bootstrap ideas:
- Notebooks LM for turning long videos into blog posts.
- Notebook LM for extracting core lessons from industry videos (e.g., Andre Karpathy, Joe Rogan playbooks).
- Aonic for transcripts to help craft titles and hooks.
AI slop and fundamentals
- Slop (highly prompt-driven, quick-turn code) is a trend, but it’s not a substitute for fundamentals.
- Advocate for competence in core tech stacks:
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Next.js, and understanding of modern dev tooling.
- Treat vibe-coding as a starting point, not the finish line. You still need fundamentals to debug, test, and scale.
- Curriculum idea: learn the basics, then apply AI to automate, not replace, the core skills.
Tools and workflows
- Notebook LM: summarize long videos, generate blog posts, and build notes that feed content planning.
- Aonic: extract/transcript workflows to jump-start titles and outlines.
- Par.com resources AI tools: a shared database to source prompts, templates, and workflows (e.g., YouTube-to-blog prompts).
- Planning cadence: plan + execute (Plan.md → EX step) to structure coding or site tasks. Use a dedicated AI plan folder (Plan/Plan.md) to guide the code assistant.
Website plan and future coding direction
- Current goal: move blog content onto the homepage; drop the separate Blog route.
- Approach:
- Create a step-by-step planning doc (Plan.md) for content migration.
- Use an agent-mode workflow to translate plan into concrete steps (two-step plan: plan, then execute).
- Expect iterative tweaks as you migrate routes and content components.
- Practical tip: treat site refactors as a live experiment; capture the process in a repeatable planning template.
Community and strategy
- Build and lean into a community (Trouble-Free) to create defensibility against AI-flooded markets.
- Learn from playbooks of others:
- Joe Rogan: cadence, scheduling, and long-form consistency.
- Luke Belmar: community-building playbook and multi-channel content strategy.
- Narrative you’re building: moving from a high-paying but turbulent startup world toward a repeatable, higher-quality AI services business with real client impact.
Actionable takeaways
- Use deeper, business-context prompts to steer AI-assisted content (beyond generic roles).
- Prioritize ideas with ICE scoring to focus on what moves the needle.
- Repurpose video content into blogs automatically with Notebook LM and transcript tools.
- Don’t rely solely on vibe coding—build a fundamental skills baseline and pair it with AI tooling.
- Develop a two-niche content strategy to grow an audience and a developer-focused audience simultaneously.
- Build a community (Trouble-Free) to create durable value beyond individual projects.
- Plan site changes with a formal plan document (Plan.md) and agent-enabled execution to reduce chaos.
