Do less, create more, and increase ROI with AI.

AI is here...it’s evolving…and it’s not slowing down...BUT 

You don’t have the time to learn.
You don’t know how to harness it’s power.
And you don’t know how to leverage it in YOUR business.

That’s where WE come in.

We teach you...

How to use Ai in your business.

So you can... 

Do less...create more...and increase ROI with AI.

Wtf do we do?:
➡️ Corporate Training + Workshops.
➡️ Virtual Webinars.
➡️ Public Speaking.
➡️ Done-For-You Creative Services.

How We Work:
➡️ First we chat...so we can identify how you're using AI and where it can be leveraged.

➡️ Then, we'll build a custom plan tailored to your team and needs.

➡️ Then, we put everything into motion.

Let's chat.

Nano Banana Pro → Performance Tuning Cars.

Asked it to "pimp this ride"...it listened.

Testing NBP’s creativity + consistency.

(Img Workflow IN COMMENTS) 

PROCESS: 
01. Upload car image.
02. Ask for performance + style upgrades
03. Generate multiple angles
04. Ask for lifestyle images.
05. Animate first/last frame with Veo3.1
03. Stitch together.

TOOLS:
+ Workflow: Weavy
+ Img Gen: Nano Banana Pro
+ Vid Gen: Veo 3.1
+ Upscale + FPS Inc: Topaz
+ Music Gen: Suno

EX NANO PROMPT:
Keep the Subaru WRX in the exact position, perspective, and placement in the white studio environment. Modify the car to upgrade it - Making rally racing performance modifications with a wide body kit . Take it an extreme level of detail and craft. Label each performance modification you make to the exterior of the car to create a technical diagram. Upgrade the exterior branding and paint to represent Red Bull. Immaculately design the exterior making it a branding masterpiece of creativity mixed with bold expression. 
Design the infographic to be luxurious and sleek and branding. Be creative and intentional - the World Rally Championship is on the line.

EX VEO 3.1 PROMPT:
The car slowly transforms and morphs from top to bottom. As it settles, thin gold technical contour lines gradually draw themselves across the body, tracing the widebody kit, roof scoop, LED pods, skid plate, wing, gravel tires. Then simple gold text labels fade in beside each feature. Motion is smooth, precise, and graphic, like a premium 3D motion-design transition from stock → rally spec.

QUICK THOUGHTS:
+ Nano Pro is really powerful 
+ A significant consistency upgrade
+ 4k outputs also help consistency
+ Typically, upscaling loses fine details 
+ If you’re using keyframes…
+ You need img-consist. to avoid morphing
+ Veo3.1 can do some fun transitions
+ Prompting is more focused on trans. Motion.
+ Vs actual subject motion.

Again, not perfect…still micro issues. 
If you look close...you’ll find a ton.
Products/objects with less detail are easier.

Have fun.

Let’s rebuild Higgsfield’s Chrome Extension.

And UPGRADE it with Weavy.

(Full workflow link in COMMENTS).

PROCESS:
1. Use Higgsfield's chrome extension
2. Extract prompt in Higgsfield Soul
3. Build prompt formula in GPT
4. Build Weavy workflow 
5. Test multiple image gens with 1 click.

HF’ CHROM EXTENSION:
+ Their extension allows you to…
+ Take any image on the internet
+ And create a “replicate” in HF Soul.
+ It’s essentially a system prompt w an img ref
+ The images will not be 1:1 
+ But it’s a way to break down aesthetic

UPGRADES:
+ Instead of getting (4) HF outputs
+ We’ll get 7 outputs from diff generators
+ Utilizing the same prompt structure as HF
+ Building in Weavy..means more options 

QUICK THOUGHTS:
+ The system prompt is most important
+ It will scan + analyze the input image
+ Create a structured prompt for that img
+ Run that prompt to (7) img generators.
+ So you can test different options

CONTEXT:
+ I don’t like to recreate real images.
+ I like to break them down into pieces
+ So I can learn different tokens/visual aesthetics
+ I wouldn’t use this for any professional project
+ But if you like an aesthetic / art-direction
+ It’s a great tool to understand things like…
+ Composition/Lighting/Perspectives/etc

Also, Higgsfield has been annoying lately.

So we’ll just mimic one of their products.

Have fun.

(1) Image → (18) Angles → (1) Click.

Weavy + Qwen Edit Multi-Angle.

No prompt necessary.

It’s not perfect…but interesting.

(Full workflow in COMMENTS)

PROCESS:
01. Import Qwen Edit Multiview LORA from Replicate. 
02. Add an input node + upload image.
03. Duplicate a bunch of Qwen nodes
04. Vary angles and perspectives. 
05. Generate.

QWEN EDIT MULTIVIEW LORA:
+ Allows you edit a single image
+ And change perspective 
+ With rotation or camera tilt

QWEN QUICK THOUGHTS:
+ This is good for quick changes
+ Rather than major changes 
+ You will lose resolution quality with Qwen
+ Typically outputs at 720p
+ Needs upscaling after the fact.
+ Will have minor errors with product 
+ But it offers more control of composition
+ Seems to be better with characters 
+ Gen time is very fast 

WORKFLOW THOUGHTS:
+ Love to build these micro tools
+ Test the scaling capabilities
+ And see if this is something practical
+ It’s a better solution that text prompting
+ The image editor tools for micro angle changes
+ Or different perspective outcomes
+ It’s more straight-forward control

This is a not a perfect solution. 

But it’s where the tech is heading re. control. 

Have fun.

You are curious about Lidar? Last 12 Months +1.9M Automotive Experts joined us | Our lidar community is fueled with genuine lidar insights. You won’t find anywhere else | This is your chance to get 1:1 with Lidar Leaders

Everyone wants to match China speed or Tesla agility, but few automotive teams know how to get there. 

The usual suspects—poor developer experience, ASPICE bottlenecks, and cultural misalignment—are holding your team back.

Your developers are overwhelmed. 

Quality managers are frustrated. 

And despite your efforts with Agile-at-Scale and ASPICE consultancies, nothing seems to click.

Here’s the good news: the secret to China speed is simple but not easy. 

With a proven approach, I help automotive software teams achieve happy developers, happy quality managers, and hassle-free ASPICE compliance—all while keeping your existing processes and tooling intact.

I’ve spent the past decade solving these challenges. 

-> I established configuration and release management systems for a startup that became a Tier 1 lidar sensor supplier

-> Isupported a Silicon Valley startup in implementing an ASPICE-compliant process landscape (ensuring developers stayed in flow without being burdened by excessive manual effort)

-> I worked with a major German premium OEM to rethink their software development journey.

Together, we stopped wasting time on nonsense like manual compliance in Excel, Confluence pages, and excessive Jira templates. 

Instead, we focused on automated compliance monitoring, seamless reporting, and developer-level training—allowing teams to live up to their full potential.

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and finally outpace the competition, let’s talk. 

Limited slots available—message me to learn how.

Hell is breaking lose in automotive Germany 😳
Nexperia chip shortage hitting first Tier1s.

Bosch filed for Kurzarbeit affecting over 1,000 workers at its Salzgitter plant. 

ZF Friedrichshafen notified Germany’s employment agency and filed for Kurzarbeit at multiple sites. 

The reason? 

Nexperia chip deliveries stopped flowing.

This isn’t a supply hiccup. 

This is just-in-time manufacturing meeting geopolitical reality.

The cascading effect:

→ Bosch: 1,000+ employees at Salzgitter entering short-time work

→ ZF: Filed for Kurzarbeit at “individual locations” (numbers “still manageable” but growing)

→ ZF also cut shifts at its 8,000-employee Schweinfurt electric drivetrain plant

→ Volkswagen can’t rule out production stoppages beyond next week

→ IG Metall reports “many companies” across Bavaria and Lower Saxony preparing similar measures


This is a systemic disaster:

Nexperia produces 50+ billion standard chips annually. 
Not advanced nodes. 
Basic transistors, diodes, battery management chips.

The chips that cost 50 cents but can stop a million-euro production line.

When the Dutch government seized control of Chinese-owned Nexperia in late September, China responded with export restrictions. 

Now German automakers can’t get the chips their Tier-1 suppliers need.


It’s disturbing to see how German automotive is built on such a fragile supply chain with single point failures as devastating as this one!

Germany’s automotive sector employs 700,000+ people. 

Multiple suppliers already announced massive job cuts before this crisis:

↳ Bosch cutting 22,000 positions in mobility
↳ ZF eliminating 14,000 German jobs by 2028
↳ Continental planning 1,450 cuts by 2026

The Nexperia crisis hits an industry already weakened by electrification costs, falling demand, and compressed margins.

What makes this even worse. 

Unlike 2020-2021, this isn’t pandemic-driven capacity issues. 

This is a geopolitical conflict creating artificial scarcity in globally integrated supply chains.

Alternative suppliers exist. 

But re-qualification and ramp-up take months if not years.

Bosch, Continental and other suppliers report their inventories last about two weeks.

The IG Metall union’s phones are “running hot” with works councils seeking advice on Kurzarbeit agreements

The brutal reality is this:

Germany built its automotive dominance on precision engineering and reliable supply chains. 

The Nexperia crisis exposes how vulnerable just-in-time manufacturing becomes when geopolitics trump economics.

The question isn’t if more companies will announce Kurzarbeit. 

It’s how many, and how fast the diplomatic resolution comes.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
