I’m Corey Brown. This is my Now page, inspired by Derek Sivers’ /now project. This page is where I keep an honest view of what’s happening and has my attention.
The past 6 weeks have been busy with clearing out our other house, including two home offices each for my wife and me. Consolidating two of our homes into a different house on the farm was a big task. The vinyl is out, but we still have some boxes to deal with (and extra desks, monitors, etc.)
I’ve been busy with AI consulting and coaching, enjoying these sessions. Seeing the light bulb go off for people and watching their excitement is the best part of the job.
My AI productivity suite has grown. I added the final component last week: a daily journal sweep. I record notes and thoughts throughout the day using Wispr Flow’s scratch pad. Wren, my AI assistant, reads the transcripts, summarizes them, and asks me what I want to do with them: create tasks, save notes for posts, or just chat about it.
I built something else for fun: A music discovery site using the Discogs API with my vinyl collection. Using Claude Code (and the new Fable 5.1), we took the scope I wrote over three weeks and built the site in less than 24 hours. The result is a 5,000+ page website that’s super fun to explore.
I’ve been networking a lot and meeting great people, and reconnecting with people I’ve missed.
I’m tending my tomatoes to start each day. That has been an incredible way to start the day.
On the consulting front:
- I completed a CEO-focused presentation on AI enablement. I will be giving a talk in about a month.
- I completed a knowledge base for my AI enablement consulting. This was a cool project that takes my Markdown documents and converts them into a site. Any time I update the Markdown, it pushes the updates.
- My editorial consulting proposal was approved. Work begins soon.
I’ve been building many things with Claude. Next up (part of my Personal OS):
- A link capture system that categorizes things and has Claude run a scheduled task to bundle them, write briefs, and ping me each day to review.
Happy to chat about AI, including how I coach and consult.
