A show where we have no idea what's coming


My buddy Zain and I are starting something new.

Every week, we work with AI to solve weird, specific problems.

Ours. Clients'. Random things that actually probably don't solve anything outside of our weird curiosity.

But we got good at it. Fast.

So we thought…

What if we did this live?

And what if we had no idea what problem we'd be solving until the moment we hit record

Here's the format:

Working with clients recently, I've discovered I have the most fun and do my best work live. When I am solving real problems in real time for people. So here's what we are going to do...

You submit a problem. Something real. Something specific to your work or your life.

On Sunday at 1pm EST, we open the vault. We've never seen what's inside.

We pick one (or more) and build a solution on the spot using Claude Skills.

The person whose problem we solve gets to keep what we build. So does everyone in the Beware the Defaults community.

The catch:

Your problem has to be clear enough that we can actually solve it in 30 minutes with AI.

Vague doesn't work. "I want to be more productive" doesn't work.

So before you submit, you run your problem through a 5 Whys prompt. It takes three minutes. You'll know exactly what you're actually trying to solve (trust us this is very common to not know).

Most people skip this step. That's the default. Don't do that.

Submit your problem here

The vault locks Sunday at 1pm. After that, we're live.

See you there.

— Max & Zain

P.S. Even if you don't submit anything, this is our version of a "How to create and use Claude Skills"...

But you know I couldn't just do the same ol' same ol'.

So if you are curious or have been wanting to learn how to create, use or even or "wtf are these things" come hang with us on Sunday.

...and here is the link for Sunday.
