AI Unplugged – Issue No. 03

AI Build Mode –A newsletter for creators who want to make digital products.

🧱 About the AI Build Series

Each week on my YouTube Channel, I create a new digital product using AI tools — fast, simple, and imperfect on purpose.

The goal? To show myself (and other creators like you) that with the right tools, you can turn ideas into real products quicker than ever. I have notoriously struggled to 'ship or sell' digital products, but AI is changing that for me and this series is designed to inspire others to do the same.

This isn’t about making the next viral hit. It’s about flipping the switch from thinking to building. From creator mode… to AI Builder Mode.

💬 Quote of the Week:

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.”

🧠 AI Term of The Wee: AI Agents

AI Agents is a buzzword that confuses many (including me), but is taking the AI world by storm.

AI Agent: is an autonomous system that can perceive, plan, and act in a given environment to accomplish a goal or task on your behalf.

Think of an AI Agents as a mini digital assistant that doesn’t just answer questions, but actually takes steps for you — whether that’s booking a flight, editing a video, or running a full product launch.

It’s the future of automation… and the future is already knocking.

Real-world takeaway: AI Agents are becoming accessible to solopreneurs and creators. Tools like AutoGPT and CrewAI (multi-agent collaboration!) are starting to feel less like science fiction and more like Swiss army knives for your creative business.

➡️ What I Made This Week

🎨 Build 107: The Animation Texture Rig In this week's Mike AI Build Series, I built an 'instant stop-motion' animation rig for Adobe After Effects using Cursor Ai.

The 'Texture Rig' is an Effect Preset for After Effects that makes it easy to create that herky-jerky stop-motion style animation to any layer in just one-click. It's a huge time-saver for anyone who animates textures by manually adjusting Position, Rotation & Scale. The Texture Rig does all of it for you and you have full control over the animation using Slider Controls.

The Animation Texture Rig is $5 on Gumroad:
