I just added up my Lovable spend.
$5,600+ invested in learning how to build AI-powered systems properly.
That investment has translated into real client work:
• Production websites
• Integrated backend systems
• Stripe subscriptions & checkouts
• AI video, voice & transcription workflows
• A live iOS app in the App Store
Most AI projects don’t fail because of the AI.
They fail because the architecture underneath it isn’t solid.
I specialize in building integrated platforms — not experiments.
If that’s what you need, let’s talk.
Great, How did you learn all these things?
Amazing!
Wow
This is the kind of post I love seeing.
So many people talk about AI like it’s magic, but the real work is the structure underneath. Tools don’t fail, weak foundations do.
Respect for putting real money and time into learning it properly and turning it into actual client work, not just experiments. Well-done, Mathias.

Parallel Time Template⌛
This AI template transforms one input video into two distinct timelines: a nostalgic 80s–90s look with retro music, and a sleek futuristic style with AI-generated futuristic music.
Workflow:
Built in CapCut AI Template Maker with AI effects, CapCut AI music to generate specific BGMusic.
Variations:
Retro Radiance – Authentic 80s–90s visuals with a calm, nostalgic piece of music
Future Form – Futuristic visuals with a serene, high-tech AI-generated soundtrack
My current AI powered workflow as a designer and non native English speaker:
→ I use ChatGPT’s Memory as my operational brain. I fed it my pricing, deliverables and feedback rounds, so when I draft complex client emails, I’m not starting from zero. I edit everything, ✨always✨.
I’m fluent in English, but it helps me catch small grammar or spelling details for extra credibility.
→ When I find myself spending hours 🫠 searching for the perfect packaging mockup I turn to Adobe Firefly to create them. The Nano Banana integration is honestly amazing.
What’s actually working? AI removes admin noise and speeds up exploration although it’s terrible at taste. Strategy and design are still human work.
Which part of your workflow has AI genuinely improved, and which part would you never hand over?
Very thoughtful workflow approach. Curious — what aspect of your process improved the most after structuring memory this way?
POV: You give CapCut AI a history lesson and it turns it into a cinematic MASTERPIECE. 🤯🎬
I lowkey felt like a Hollywood director making this. 💀 Used the new AI Workflow Maker for the #ATCP challenge and honestly? It ate. 🔥 The visuals, the voiceover, the vibe—literally insane that this is just a template.
