A few years ago, doing everything I’m trying to achieve today, all on my own, would have been almost impossible.
Building websites, creating apps, writing content, exploring new ideas, and somehow keeping everything organised.
There are only so many hours in a day. And unfortunately, I haven’t figured out how to make a day last 48 hours. Yet.
But things have changed.
We have AI.
I’ve been using different AI tools for several years now, and one thing I’ve noticed is that they all have different strengths.
ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Perplexity and others.
Each approaches things differently. One might be brilliant at solving a technical problem, another at research, while another comes up with an idea I would never have considered.
I’m not interested in deciding which one is the best.
Why should I choose one over another when I can benefit from what each has to offer?
So I started using several of them.
And that’s where the fun began.
Or rather, the mess.
One project was being developed with ChatGPT. Another task was happening in Claude Code. Research was being done somewhere else, and new ideas were being discussed with another AI.
Everything was moving forward.
But in completely different places.
One AI knew part of my story. Another understood a particular project. Another remembered decisions we’d made weeks earlier, while the next one had absolutely no idea what we were talking about.
And who was responsible for keeping everyone updated?
Me, of course.
I can’t even remember how many times I asked:
“Can you summarise everything we’ve done over the past two weeks so I can give it to another AI?”
Copy, paste, explain, repeat.
After a while, I realised I was spending far too much time doing something AI was supposed to help me avoid.
So I started thinking.
What if I could give all my AIs one shared Brain?
One central place where they could access the same project information, decisions, knowledge, ideas and rules.
A place where they could contribute, share their different perspectives and build on each other’s suggestions without me constantly transferring information between them.
I know there are already solutions for connecting different AI systems. Probably some very clever ones.
But I wanted to try something of my own.
Not because I think I can build something better than everyone else.
I simply want to understand how it works.
I want to create my own structure, my own rules, my own workflows and skills, based on what I actually need.
Of course, I’m using existing AI models and development tools. I’m not trying to invent artificial intelligence from scratch.
It’s the Brain connecting them that I want to build myself.
And if I make mistakes along the way?
Well, that’s how I’m going to learn.
So, a few weeks ago, I started experimenting.
The idea is to bring the AIs I use together around one shared Brain, with the knowledge and history of my projects, and eventually run the system on my own server.
I’ve been testing the shared workflow, working on its structure, and developing plans for the next stage.
It’s still a work in progress, and there are plenty of things to figure out.
But I’m already discovering how useful something like this could be.
One of my favourite parts is the shared chat room I’ve created for the AIs.
Instead of discussing everything separately, I can bring an idea into one place.
One AI suggests something. Another challenges it or offers a different solution. The next one might see something neither of them considered.
I can follow the discussion, compare their suggestions and decide what direction to take.
And sometimes, looking at all those ideas coming together, I just sit there smiling.
Because something that might previously have taken me days of research and discussion can now give me useful starting points within minutes.
It’s fascinating.
Does everything work perfectly?
Of course not.
There are bugs, misunderstandings, rules that need changing, and occasionally things that make me wonder what on earth just happened.
But that’s part of the experiment.
And having AI helping me investigate and solve those problems makes the whole process even more interesting.
What I enjoy most is that I’m learning something new almost every day.
At the moment, it almost feels like I have four extra teammates helping me with things I would struggle to manage alone.
They’re not human employees, and they don’t replace my decisions or responsibility.
But they help me explore ideas, develop applications, create content, organise projects and look at problems from completely different perspectives.
And I’m genuinely grateful that technology like this exists.
Not only because it helps me get more done.
But because it gives me an opportunity to learn things I might never have attempted before.
And here’s another thought I’ve been playing with.
What if something like this could eventually help a small business?
Imagine a company having its own Brain, with its own knowledge, projects, experience, rules and ways of working.
Different AI tools contributing their strengths while working from the same information.
Could that be useful?
I believe it could.
But that’s a thought for another day.
Right now, I’m still experimenting, improving the structure and discovering what works and what doesn’t.
There’s also the learning process I’m developing for the Brain, but I’d rather share that in another post.
For now, I’m just enjoying the journey and seeing where it takes me.
Will everything work the way I imagine?
I have absolutely no idea.
But I’m having a great time finding out.
Wish me luck.
Building. Not done. Never will be.
Keep smiling, guys.
