February was a month for exploration. With the increasing work load at my day job, I used most of my free time to learn and try out a few new things. As expected, all of them related to AI. Here is a quick summary.
Achievements
Productivity tools
While I continue to use JenAI on a daily basis, it remains (by design) a very limited tool. In order to leverage the benefits of AI more widely, I started developing a few more personal productivity tools. The gaps from JenAI that these cover are a simplified persistence model, more intuitive UI and more sophisticated context management. I have also created a few automations to run AI tasks on schedule. As of now, I have no plans to make either of these open source, as they are more exploratory and specific to my work flow.
ComfyUI
Another area of AI that I had not touched for a long while is image generation. While I played around with Stable Diffusion in its early days, and covered image generation on Chargen, it is not something I do regularly. In February I took some time to update myself on newer tools for this, and did a few lessons about ComfyUI. It seemed to me to do a better job of offering enhanced capabilities around the raw image generation models than the other tools I know about, and I look forward to work more with it.
Finished Rich Dad Poor Dad
On a more personal level, I finished studying Rich Dad Poor Dad as part of my personal studies habit. This took longer that I expected, as I started the book roughly in the middle of 2025, but had to interrupt the studies several times along the way. As someone who had never invested before, I really enjoyed the book and found it to be an excellent introduction to the topic.
