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.”
