Things I Make & Ways to Support My Work
Hi, I’m Ben. I started Explore AI Together because I like figuring out what technology can actually do for everyday people. I test new tools, build things, make plenty of mistakes, and write up what I learn along the way.
Most of what I make here is free, and it’s staying that way.
I also make other things: digital toolkits, apps, books, and whatever else catches my interest. Some are practical, some are just for fun, and quite a few started with the same thought:
“I wonder if I could make that?”
If something here has helped you and you’d like to support the work, here are a few ways to do it. No pressure. Reading along is plenty.
AI Tools & Resources
Built from my own experiments, for people who want to use AI on real tasks.
The AI Flipper’s Toolkit
Prompts, a deal checker, a profit tracker and listing templates for buying and reselling on Facebook Marketplace with ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Every prompt was tested on real listings, from bikes to disc golf discs.
Starter: free · Pro: $14.99
Books & Creative Projects
A few things I’ve made outside the blog, each with the story of how it came together.
Traverse City & Northern Michigan Travel Guide
A local friend’s guide to Northern Michigan’s best towns, trails and tables. It covers where to go, where to eat and how to plan a trip up north, in 221 pages.
ChainMate
A disc golf putting tracker I built with AI. Log practice sessions, play putting games and see your make rate at every distance.
2027 Disc Golf Season Journal
A tournament planner and practice workbook for disc golfers who want to improve. Its putting test is the same one in ChainMate.
Animal Work Adventures
51 animals doing jobs that match their natural talents, each with a fun fact. It has nothing to do with AI tutorials or disc golf. Sometimes it’s fun to make something different.
Enjoying the free guides?
If a guide saved you some time, helped you figure something out or got you to try something new, you can leave a small tip on Ko-fi. It helps cover the time and tools that go into making them.
If you’d rather not spend anything, sharing a guide with someone who’d find it useful helps just as much.
Need a little help with AI?
Getting started is often the hardest part. If you’re trying to figure out ChatGPT, Claude or another AI tool, or you have an idea for something you’d like to build, I’m open to occasional paid one-on-one sessions.
We can get you comfortable with the tools, work through a specific problem or talk through a project idea. Send me a note about what you’re trying to do, and I’ll tell you honestly whether I’m the right person to help.
Get in touchHave an idea? Say hello.
One of my favorite parts of making things is hearing what other people are working on. If you’ve got a project idea, a tool you think I should test, or you just want to connect, I’d love to hear from you.
Thanks for visiting, reading and being part of Explore AI Together.
