in the loop
Real people. Real tools. Fifteen minutes.

Built by AI
This show runs on what we build. One command to create an episode, one command to close it out, and fifteen minutes of two humans in the middle. That is the whole stack.
One command generates the episode name, brand image, HTML page, OBS overlay, and the CouchDB record - a complete planned episode from nothing.
Chris and Sash go live on LinkedIn - fifteen minutes, one real tool, no slides, no retakes - this is the only part that requires a human.
One command after air flips status, transcribes, writes show notes, updates the episode page, cuts Shorts, uploads to YouTube, and drafts the LinkedIn post.
The hosts say "see you next week." Everything else is already done.
What is this
Every Friday at 4:05 PM ET, one of us goes live for exactly fifteen minutes. No slides. No audience Q&A. Just a camera, a screen share, and one real tool we used that week. We show the messy version - the one that actually works in our lives, not the polished demo.
Tight. No filler. Respect your Friday.
No editing. No retakes. The real thing.
Every episode adds to a growing AI toolkit anyone can reference.
Things we actually use. Not sponsors.
