Hey, it's Bernie!

In February I started using a little more of Gemini 3 Flash mode. However my verdict is I like Claude better than Gemini.

  • “Hi, I would like to build a book collection database from scratch on obsidian. Can you show me step by step?” [NOTE: this became quite a long conversation with Claude because I had difficulty understanding how to use [[” on Obsidian to link my book cover images]
  • “hello, can you explain to me what are ml data pipes”

  • “Hello! Singapore is a small country with very little agricultural space, so I'm thinking of creating a mobile app platform that activates a decentralised network of nano-scale farmers who are experts at gardening and farming, give them access to a community marketplace, where sustainbly-conscious customers can come to buy or trade produce. There should also be a focus on stories about creating a new avenue for monetisation, encourage offline gatherings and foster a local-first buying culture. As a startup coach, can you share with me your thoughts about this idea, and guide me through how to start small with an MVP so I can share this idea with potential venture capitalists?” [NOTE: This one's interesting. I was actually sharing my startup idea with Claude, and the conversation continued to Claude advising me to do market testing first before starting to build my app. It suggested that I interview existing farmers about the outputs as well as conduct a survey on potential customers and their delivery preferences. He also proceeded to help me create templates and outreach messages on how to start. It was a very productive conversation.]
  • “Hi! I would like to showcase apps built using AI help, so that I can get hired as an AI engineer, can you tell me step by step how I can do it in one month?” [NOTE: I haven't yet follow all the steps suggested, but I guess it was a good guide to refer to]

  • “Hi Claude I'm trying to run an eda for the following dataset. It shows the earnings of a food delivery rider for years 2024 to present. Please help me create an EDA using python script to describe, clean and make sense of the data.” [NOTE: I exported my food delivery earnings into a .csv file and asked Claude to help me create a Streamlit dashboard that can help fellow delivery riders to predict potential earnings based on my past data. Took about 2 hours and the results were pretty fantastic. I will publish it soon]

Starting today I plan to document all that I've done with AI, whether it was helping me with troubleshooting, or giving advice or guidance, I will try to write some of the significant ones down here to share my journey. I hope it can inspire you to do your own prompts. Sound interesting?

Ok, let's begin from Jan 2026, where I used Claude more often ...

Jan 14

  • “list the useful ai books to learn about ai engineering.”

Jan 25

  • “I would like to create an online store to sell my products. I'm starting with one product, 100% raw mealworm frass, used a an excellent fertilizer for plants. My customers are hobby gardeners who are looking for organic alternatives to fertilizers for their garden. They are usually knowledgeable about fertilizers for sale so I will need to highlight frass value proposition and why they should use it versus the synthetic fertilizers in the market. The ability to integrate a checkout function where they can purchase the product onsite, also have ability to include marketing features like landing pages, discounts and newsletters.” [NOTE: Claude wasn't very good at web design, but it did build me a decent website. I didn't manage to follow through on building the checkout process. This was more of an experiment to see how well it can help me create a website based on marketing objectives.]

Jan 27

  • “how do you reduce the file size of a powerpoint file?”

  • “What is NumPy?”

  • “I'm a budding new enthusiast into AI technology. I've heard about the event NVIDIA GTC coming up with March 2026. Can you highlight what will be the key benefits of attending such an event virtually as someone who wants to learn as much as possible about AI?”

Jan 31

  • “Hello I'm trying to connect to a server on pgadmin but it seems like the app is unable to recognise that I've installed postgresql@18. What can I do?”
  • “Hi Claude, if I want to stop using Notion and migrate to obsidian, does it have feature for feature matching? Can you let me know the pros and cons of each?”

  • “if I want to collaborate on a repo in github should I fork or clone?”
  • “Hello! I have a .csv file that I would like to import into dbgate. May I know the steps to do so?”
