The Short Version
I’m Brett Hunt. I spent 20+ years in cybersecurity and tech — building teams, managing channel partnerships, and solving problems that weren’t supposed to have solutions. Then I discovered that AI tools could turn ideas into real, working products without writing a single line of code by hand.
Now I build things. Real products, real businesses, real infrastructure — all through prompting. And I document the whole process so you can do it too.
What I’m Building
Right now I’m working on several projects simultaneously, all built through conversational AI:
- A wellness tracking system — voice-first input, AI coaching engine, PostgreSQL backend, n8n automation. Personal use first, SaaS later.
- An e-commerce store — AI-generated product designs, automated publishing pipeline, WooCommerce on WordPress.
- A personal assistant infrastructure — self-hosted on Proxmox, Docker containers, automated workflows that run 24/7.
None of these projects required me to learn Python, JavaScript, SQL, or PHP in the traditional sense. I describe what I want. The AI writes it. I verify it works. That’s the workflow.
My Tools
The stack I use every day:
- Claude Code — my primary building tool. This is where the magic happens.
- n8n — workflow automation, self-hosted. The glue between everything.
- Proxmox + Docker — self-hosted infrastructure. PostgreSQL, vector databases, local LLMs.
- WordPress — content publishing. Battle-tested, extensible, gets out of the way.
- 1Password — secrets management. No hardcoded credentials, ever.
- Joplin — my second brain. Every decision, every research finding, every lesson learned.
Why This Site Exists
Most AI content is either hype (“AI will replace all jobs!”) or toy demos (“I made a chatbot that tells jokes!”). I want to show what’s possible when you use these tools seriously — to build products that make money, solve real problems, and actually ship.
This blog and YouTube channel document my process with radical honesty: the wins, the failures, the costs, and the lessons. If you’re a builder, a maker, or just someone curious about what AI can actually do — you’re in the right place.
Background
Before the AI pivot: 20+ years in tech, mostly in cybersecurity. Channel partnerships, team leadership, the whole enterprise playbook. I know what it’s like to build and sell technology at scale.
That background isn’t irrelevant — it’s what makes my approach different. I think about security, infrastructure, scalability, and business models. Not just “can I make the demo work” but “can I make this a real product.”
