## Episodes
- [A voice AI on my phone that knows my whole life](https://tellingtechnology.skogstrom.se/episodes/voice-ai-phone.html): Siri can't reach my files and the Claude app has no desktop voice. So I built a push-to-talk AI that installs to my phone's home screen, routes each question by difficulty across two AI tiers, talks back out loud — and already knows every project I'm running.
- [When AI can build anything, knowing what to build is the only edge](https://tellingtechnology.skogstrom.se/episodes/what-to-build.html): 88% of companies use AI. Only 6% are good at it. 30% of AI projects get abandoned. That gap is the entire opportunity. Here is the consulting pitch, the doctor-vs-pharmacist positioning, the Constraint->KPI->Build method, and the 60-second Matrix-operator video script.
- [Ep.14 — I mine my Claude Code chat history for episodes](https://tellingtechnology.skogstrom.se/episodes/mine-chat-history.html): The sharpest ideas happen mid-session and vanish when you close the tab. I taught an AI to read my saved sessions back, score each chunk for novelty and surprise, and hand me a pre-qualified backlog — each idea carrying its own source transcript.
- [Ep.13 — Now a computer geek can make movies](https://tellingtechnology.skogstrom.se/episodes/make-movies.html): I'm not a filmmaker. But I built a skill that gave Claude the script, Seedance 2.0 the shots, and CapCut the edit — and dropped myself into the Matrix as the operator who downloads skills on command. 18 seconds, two generations, zero camera. The self-hosted clip plays on the page; the 6-frame gallery shows the exact prompt behind each shot.
- [Ep.12 — Today's Claude Challenge — dare to accept?](https://tellingtechnology.skogstrom.se/episodes/claude-challenge.html): A faceless daily series: one small Claude Code move a day, dare to accept? Hub page with 21 dare cards in two sections — 12 built-in commands and 9 of my own skills (anonymized) — with a difficulty filter. Channel B shorts; pilot 6 scripts written, remaining 15 queued in the nightly backlog.
- [Ep.10 — The fuel gauge — watch my AI's brain fill up](https://tellingtechnology.skogstrom.se/episodes/fuel-gauge.html): Long Claude Code sessions die silently as context fills. I had the AI build its own cockpit status line — model, effort, and two live fuel bars — so I know exactly when to /compact.
- [Ep.09 — I built my website a front door for AI](https://tellingtechnology.skogstrom.se/episodes/ai-front-door.html): Humans browse my site fine; AI agents scrape it badly. So I gave it an llms.txt, a JSON index, a tiny CLI and an MCP server — now any Claude reads the whole site from one command.
- [Ep.08 — Not watching — learn from a video without pressing play](https://tellingtechnology.skogstrom.se/episodes/ep07-not-watching.html)
- [Ep.07 — The night shift — a site that builds itself while I sleep](https://tellingtechnology.skogstrom.se/episodes/night-shift.html)
- [Ep.06 — I put my world on it — 1,782 contacts on the globe](https://tellingtechnology.skogstrom.se/episodes/globe-overlay.html)
- [Ep.05 — The Living Globe — one sentence built a planet](https://tellingtechnology.skogstrom.se/episodes/globe-design.html)
- [Ep.04 — Own style — my AI designs app-store screens now](https://tellingtechnology.skogstrom.se/episodes/ep03-own-style.html)
- [Ep.03 — The glitch — AI drew my whole system (and leaked secrets)](https://tellingtechnology.skogstrom.se/episodes/ep02-system-map.html)
- [Ep.02 — Visuals — the skill that draws like a human](https://tellingtechnology.skogstrom.se/visuals-showcase.html)
- [Ep.01 — The palette — what colour is trust?](https://tellingtechnology.skogstrom.se/episodes/ep01-palette.html)
