Daily AI Automation Builds Until I Get Hired Challenge

Daily AI Automation Builds Challenge

"Yes, you read that right! One build, every day. No exceptions."

Why?

Because I want to go beyond surface-level AI use. I believe AI isn’t here to replace us, it’s here to make us faster, smarter, and more efficient.

How?

Each day I build a new automation using **free tools**, film the process, and share how you can do it too. That’s it, no catch.

My goal!

To get noticed in a meaningful way, show my thinking through real examples, and hopefully land an opportunity where I can take this even further.

I do it because I love it. I’ve always been obsessed with tinkering, building frameworks, and simplifying workflows. Why not make it fun?

I recently moved to Copenhagen, but hit a wall applying to join the traditional way, and this idea just clicked.

So here I am: building daily, learning out loud, and taking you along for the ride.

Still jobless, but one step closer. Let's build again tomorrow.

Note: This challenge has concluded as I've found a new role. However, I'm keeping this page live to showcase my approach to problem-solving and my passion for building practical marketing automation workflows.

Under the hood
