How I Built an AI-Based Alter Ego with Claude that Manages My Business

For updates on AI Builders meetings, join the WhatsApp group Most talks about AI discuss how to turn a business into an overnight success. The story of Gil Silberfeld is a bit different: how to create an AI-based alter ego – an almost ideal work partner that understands the way you think and work. Gil is a one-person business: courses, webinars, newsletters, and content across several channels. Before the AI era, he had a working method, but it was chaotic. With Claude Code and Gemini, he built a personal management system that brings in data, analyzes it, helps think, reminds decisions, and maintains context over time. This talk is not about magic or a demo. It is about building a real working process around AI: what was planned, what was built, what broke, and what still needs maintenance. In the meeting, we will discuss: - Why not to start with "just automate it." - How to build a process around thinking, not just around prompts and scripts. - How to create personal organizational memory that lasts over time. - How to divide work between automation, terminals, and chat. - Where AI disappoints, and how to deal with that in practice. - Practical tips for freelancers and small teams who want to start tomorrow. Gil Silberfeld is the CTO at TestinGil, a consultant, and mentor with over 25 years of experience in software testing, QA strategy, and AI systems.
