Built a little side project for the ACSS community - gearyvideos.pages.dev Every day this scrapes new videos and grabs the transcript, chunks it, creates an embedding for semantic search, and delivers it to a front end for users to search and filter, with timestamps.

Don't just take it from me, take it from folks like Brian - don't sleep on ai/automation/agentic workflows!
Example - a very simple agent via N8n who can answer questions about my past blog posts and fetch relevant text (all using the WP Rest API). This is infinitely harder when your content is inside a black box.
Working on a demo for WP automations. This one will create new posts from Airtable, use Pexels API to find a relevant featured image, download it, upload to WP, and then attach to the new post. Handling media uploads in WP is sort of counterintuitive but this works flawlessly.

Got a little sidetracked today, but finished v1 of the options page for this little side project, dubbed "Bluesky for WordPress". Next up is automatically sharing new posts to Bluesky (with some options), and then integrating replies to that Bluesky post into your site's comments.
