1 turns · 25 minI don't know about you, but I've been spending a lot more time on GitHub lately, and there's a real reason behind it. I mean, it's turned into one of the best places to get an unfair advantage in the agentic era because you're seeing the tools people will be talking about in six months today. A lot of the things that eventually become SaaS companies, agencies, workflows, and startup ideas show up there first. It's really like that famous quote, you know, the future is already here. It just isn't evenly distributed yet. So I'm trying something new with today's episode. I went through a ton of GitHub repos that have been getting attention over the last 30 days, and I picked the six that I think you should know about. If you're trying to build products, if you're trying to make money, if you're trying to save time, or you just want to get more done with AI. Now, some are more technical than others, but I'll explain them all in plain English. You know, what each one does, why it matters, how it actually use it, and how you can try it for yourself today. The last one is from Nvidia. A couple of the other ones are from smaller devs, but every one of them is something I can picture someone using to make money or to save real time. All six are free and open source, meaning the code is free to use. But as a lot of you know, some have dependencies, like one has a dependency on 11 Labs, which does cost money. So beware of that. Let's get into the episode. I'll see you at the end. And if you haven't liked and commented and subscribed, just do it to get your algorithm pumping with a lot of valuable content like this. Let's go. So the first repo is my friend Peter Yang's no AI slop skill. And I like this one because everyone who uses AI for writing has felt this exact problem. I mean, you ask ChatGPT or Claude to help you write something. It's a tweet. It's a LinkedIn post. And technically, the writing is fine. The grammar is fine. The syntax is fine. But it has this like weird smell to it. Maybe it sounds like too polished or too symmetrical or formulaic. Sometimes it has like, it's not X, but it's Y. or uses the word quietly a lot. I feel like it feels like reading a keynote from a fake SaaS conference. And once you notice it, I feel like you can't unsee it. A lot of people are able to smell it now. So what's really cool is Peter's skill is basically an editor that strips those patterns out while trying to preserve your actual voice. The last part is important because a lot of the writing tools make your writing cleaner, but sand off the interesting parts and make everyone sound the same. And if you're going to sound the same, it's hard to stand out. You actually want to do the opposite. So what's cool about this repo is it hunts for the patterns that make writing feel AI generated and helps the draft feel like a real human being wrote it. Why does that matter? Like I said, if you're building products today, you're writing constantly and you want to stand out. I personally am writing tweets. I'm writing landing pages. I'm writing cold emails, launch posts, product updates, onboarding copy. If you have investors, you're writing investor updates. And you
Episode notes
On this solo episode, I review five free, open source GitHub repos that help you build products, make money, or save time: Peter Yang's No AI Slop Skill, the CRM by TryComp AI, Video Use by browser use, SkillSpector by NVIDIA, and Phone Harness. For each repo I explain what it does, why it matters, how to install it, and the first small workflow to try. I close with a simple three-step method: install the repo, make one small workflow work, then decide to productize it or keep it as your own leverage.
