out but uh ah yeah that could be a rough out but uh ah yeah that could be a rough trip over the pond like that especially trip over the pond like that especially trip over the pond like that especially London to La I’ve done that one before London to La I’ve done that one before London to La I’ve done that one before myself a few times anyways moving on to myself a few times anyways moving on to myself a few times anyways moving on to the AI stuff the AI stuff the AI stuff um so yeah I’m actually I’m actually um so yeah I’m actually I’m actually um so yeah I’m actually I’m actually working on an AI agent working on an AI agent working on an AI agent so I haven’t been able to work on the so I haven’t been able to work on the so I haven’t been able to work on the actual business um which I’ll I’m going actual business um which I’ll I’m going actual business um which I’ll I’m going to talk about in a second what’s what’s to talk about in a second what’s what’s to talk

trial run kind of it’s kind of a trial run kind of it’s kind of a trial run hopefully I could work on this more um hopefully I could work on this more um hopefully I could work on this more um like longer term this is a I can’t talk like longer term this is a I can’t talk like longer term this is a I can’t talk too much about it yet so stay tuned but too much about it yet so stay tuned but too much about it yet so stay tuned but this is a a really powerful AI agent this is a a really powerful AI agent this is a a really powerful AI agent that is a scraper like a web scraper that is a

anything um it’s actually really cool so anything um it’s actually really cool so anything um it’s actually really cool so one thing you know I just kind of one thing you know I just kind of one thing you know I just kind of started digging into the code but one started digging into the code but one started digging into the code but one thing that blew me away thing that blew me away thing that blew me away was uh that it worked to be completely was uh that it worked to be completely was uh that it worked to be completely honest I was like wow it actually is honest I was like wow it actually is honest I was like wow it actually is working working working um I’m I’m working on trying to make it um I’m I’m working on trying to make it um I’m I’m working on trying to make it actually work better and do a bit of actually work better and do a bit of actually work better and do a bit of that like self-navigating uh really cool that like self-navigating uh really cool that like
