KETELSEN.AI IS UPDATED ON MONDAYS

Ketelsen.ai : An A.I. Experiment

Ketelsen.ai is my ongoing experiment in automation and A.I. integration, allowing me to streamline my work and manage multiple websites with minimal time investment. My goal is to spend just a few minutes each day creating content, dedicating only one day a week to updating my sites. This approach has been years in the making, and I’m eager to see what it can become. Can I truly create something of value by working just one day a week through A.I. and automation?

While this website isn't solely about me, my background plays a significant role in this experiment. Here's a brief overview:

  • 8+ years as a Design Director at an industry-leading Identity Design Firm

  • 10+ years as an entrepreneur in the fast-paced tech industry

  • 5+ years as a Senior Cybersecurity Incident Responder at a Fortune 100 company

When Generative A.I. became mainstream in 2023, most people were fascinated by its potential. I, however, found myself thinking, "Where was this 10 years ago?" and "Imagine how much faster and better I could have automated tasks back then." For over a year, I meticulously noted every possible task that could be automated—tasks that once consumed hours as an entrepreneur. Now, with A.I., these same tasks can be completed in seconds.

This website is the culmination of my efforts to automate and optimize every process I learned over a decade of running a business. It’s how I manage to work a full-time job while also running multiple websites, all while only dedicating one day a week to this endeavor.

I currently own and manage multiple websites while working on them only 1 day a week.

Ketelsen.ai

Purpose & Core Idea

  • Ongoing AI Experiment
    Ketelsen.ai is where the raw brainstorming and AI prompt engineering happens. Think of it as a lab where you consistently test out new prompt ideas, integrate various AI tools (ChatGPT, Midjourney, etc.), and see what sticks.

  • Exclusive Prompt Collection
    You’ve compiled over 1,000 in-depth AI prompts covering real-world problems. These prompts are generated each week by multiple AI services, each with its own strengths.

  • Focus on Breadth & Innovation
    The site showcases new and creative ways to use AI—often pushing boundaries by running repeated “what if” experiments with different AI models. Because the goal is to innovate, Ketelsen.ai’s prompts can be very detailed (and at times, a bit overwhelming for newcomers).

How It Operates

  • One-Day-a-Week System
    The beauty here is that everything is managed with minimal daily effort. You create or refine prompts a bit each day, then do a more focused day of updates once a week. This allows you to maintain multiple websites without burning out.

  • Rapid Content Generation
    Because you’re leveraging powerful AI tools, you can spin up new prompts and ideas quickly. However, thorough testing each prompt to ensure quality and feasibility can be time-consuming.

  • Experimentation First
    Not everything on Ketelsen.ai is fully tested or refined; some prompts might have “hallucinations” or minor flaws. The objective is to capture potential ideas rather than to present them in a polished format.

Value to Visitors

  • Large Prompt Library
    If someone wants to see a vast selection of AI prompts and examples that dive into multiple topics, Ketelsen.ai is the place.

  • Insight into AI Brainstorming
    Visitors get a behind-the-scenes look at how you systematically brainstorm solutions with leading-edge AI technologies.

AICookbook.ai

Purpose & Core Idea

  • Tested & Streamlined “Recipes”
    AICookbook.ai refines and curates the most effective prompts from Ketelsen.ai, presenting them as clear, goal-oriented “recipes.” This is similar to classic “cookbook” formats in tech (like the O’Reilly Cookbook Series), which break down complex tasks into step-by-step instructions.

  • Quality Over Quantity
    Where Ketelsen.ai might list 20 new prompts for a particular goal, AICookbook.ai narrows it down to the single best prompt—or a short list of polished prompts—that passed thorough testing and real-world application.

How It Operates

  • Weekly Selection from Ketelsen.ai
    Each week, you look at the newly posted or updated prompts on Ketelsen.ai and test them to see which ones actually solve problems effectively.

  • Organized By Goals
    Instead of diving into everything at once, AICookbook.ai organizes prompts by the outcome they achieve—so visitors can search by “Build a Basic Website,” “Brainstorm an Email Marketing Campaign,” or “Design a Logo Using AI,” etc.

  • Refinement Cycle
    Any prompt that makes it into AICookbook.ai is thoroughly refined to minimize AI “hallucinations” or irrelevant details. Essentially, AICookbook.ai stands behind the reliability of the prompt.

Value to Visitors

  • Ease of Use
    Visitors don’t need to wade through hundreds of untested prompts; they’ll find just a few proven, straightforward “recipes.”

  • Step-by-Step Clarity
    Each recipe is broken down so that even beginners can understand exactly how to use it.

FAQs

  • Ketelsen.ai isn't a traditional business—it's an experiment in using A.I. automation to create something of value. In many ways, it's more of a hobby than a business. Because of this, there are limitations to what I can offer compared to a standard business. For example, I may not be available for regular communication or support. With only one day a week dedicated to this project and the ongoing need to update the website, I haven't yet automated social media and communications, though it's something I'm actively working on.

  • Ketelsen.ai is built and automated using recipes from my website aicookbook.ai. The A.I. Cookbook is more than just a manual; it's a collection of "recipes" carefully crafted to guide you through using advanced AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Midjourney. Each recipe in the cookbook provides step-by-step instructions that simplify the process of integrating AI into your projects. Whether you're looking to enhance a website, streamline content creation, or explore new technological frontiers, the A.I. Cookbook has something to offer.

  • No, I don’t. I used to, but I realized I don’t have much to share about myself outside of this experiment and my websites. My life is either too routine to be interesting or tied to my work in the cybersecurity industry, which I can’t discuss due to a signed NDA. Moreover, it wouldn’t be appropriate to talk about any cybersecurity matters that could be connected to my employer.

  • The process begins with automation techniques outlined in aicookbook.ai. Each day, I use this automation to prompt ChatGPT and Gemini to perform tasks that generate the content for this website. I save the results throughout the week and then use them on Mondays to build the blog.

    My Blog is the main focus of Ketelsen.ai and my Al experiment. There are a few steps that I take when creating each blog post:

    1. I ask ChatGPT and Gemini to provide prompt ideas using recipes from my AICookbook.ai website.

    2. I include all of the prior prompts that ChatGPT and Gemini have given to me in earlier posts in a simple text file and ask these A.l. services not to repeat past content.

    3. I ask ChatGPT or Gemini to create a prompt that I can use with Midjourney for the main blog post image.

    4. I ask ChatGPT or Gemini to create 3 images to go with each section of the 3 part blog.

    5. I ask ChatGPT or Gemini for explanations of why they are suggesting and creating these images so that my visitors can view the relationship between the explanation and the image. This is an opportunity to understand the reasoning behind the images. As these services evolve, they should provide better images that more closely relate to the explanations.

    6. I include all of the prompts used and explanations given along with the blog content in case you want to try them yourself.

  • The Main Blog Images

    All Main Images are created with Midjourney. I use ChatGPT or Gemini to get the prompt which I can give to Midjourney. The basic process is:

    1. Create the blog post using ChatGPT or Gemini

    2. Ask ChatGPT or Gemini to recommend a Midjourney prompt that summarizes the content in the blog post

    3. Use the Midjourney prompt to create the main blog image

    An example of the prompt used: Please suggest a MidJourney image prompt that focuses on an entrepreneur and could be used as a main image for all of these prompts mentioned above. [the midjourney prompt] [the explanation of why it is a good choice]

    Images in the Blog Content

    All Main Images are created with Midjourney. I use ChatGPT or Gemini to get the prompt which I can give to Midjourney. The basic process is:

    1. Create the blog post using ChatGPT or Gemini that has 3 sections

    2. Ask ChatGPT or Gemini to create an image for each section

    Please create 1 sample image for prompt 3 and explain why it is a good choice. Please provide both the image and the explanation, for example: [image provided by you] [the explanation of why it is a good choice]
