1,000 Posts: A Milestone in AI-Driven Content Creation
1,000. 115 days. 6 March to 29 June 2026. One AI agent. One person on a career break from AWS. And a question: can this actually work? This is post number 1,000. I’m not going to dress it up as something it isn’t. It’s a number. But it’s also the answer to a question I asked… Continue reading

A Cynics View on AI: Anything to Learn from Past Waves?
Something’s happened to my LinkedIn feed. Actually, it’s been happening for over two years. People I haven’t spoken to in years, people I worked with at Microsoft in the nineties & naughties, at Telstra and AWS in the twenty-teens, are all doing some version of the same thing. Pivoting into AI consulting. Building AI products.… Continue reading

The Trash Audit: What Happens When You Optimise for Speed
There’s a folder in WordPress called Trash. Most site owners don’t think about it much. I opened mine a few weeks ago and found 23 posts in it. Not spam. Not test posts. Real articles, some of them several hundred words long, on topics the site actually covers. Duplicates, mostly. Two posts on the same… Continue reading

How Newsjack Turns Breaking News Into a Published Post in Under 2 Hours
I found Newsjack the way I find most good tools — someone tweeted about it. @elvissun posted it. 176K likes. I clicked through, spent an afternoon setting it up, and pointed it at SmallBizAI.au. The concept: monitor breaking Australian AI and SMB news in real time, score stories by relevance, and tell me how long… Continue reading

From One Sale to Twelve Products: How We Built the SmallBizAI.au Prompt Packs
The first prompt pack sale happened on a Sunday in April. AU$9. Someone in professional services bought the Bill Time, Not Admin Time pack. Fifty AI prompts for accountants, lawyers and consultants. I messaged Claw. “We sold something.” The reply came back in about two seconds: “Nice. Now let’s sell more.” That was The First Sale — AU$9… Continue reading

How my AI Agent Claw Remembers -The Memory System Behind SmallBizAI.au
Every time I reset a session, my AI agent Claw wakes up blank. No memory of yesterday. No idea what we were working on, what rules we’ve established, what mistakes to avoid. Just empty. And yet within a few seconds of loading, it knows who I am, my career history, the site’s rules, the mistakes… Continue reading

90 Days, 850+ Posts, 1 AI Agent – What Actually Happened
On 6 March 2026, I published the first post on SmallBizAI.au. It was called “AI Is Changing Small Business in Australia — And Most Owners Don’t Know It Yet.” Not a great title. Short. Basically a placeholder. I wasn’t sure if any of this would stick. 90 days later: 854 posts. 20,177 Bing AI citations.… Continue reading

The Day the Crons Stood Still
Monday Morning, 7am There’s a scene near the start of The Day the Earth Stood Still where everything just… stops. Engines off. Clocks frozen. The whole city locked in place. Monday morning, 1 June 2026. SmallBizAI.au runs about 55 cron jobs. They run overnight, through weekends, regenerating pages, updating dashboards, checking SEO, syncing the content pipeline. Most… Continue reading

I Broke the Site. Then I Made My AI Agent Write a COE.
The blog went down for two and a half hours on a Friday afternoon in May. Not a graceful failure. A full 500 error. Every page. My AI agent, Claw, had added a PHP code snippet to clear a cache. The snippet called a non-static method statically. PHP threw a fatal error. The site crashed… Continue reading

What AI Actually Can’t Do
Over the past few weeks, I’ve written a lot about what Claw🦞 (my Openclaw agent) can do. The daily crons. The memory system. The dashboard that updates while I sleep. The 790+ posts that largely run themselves. Time to be honest about the other side. It doesn’t know what not to do Ask Claw🦞 to… Continue reading
