✅ Created my Upwork profile for "AI Automation | Sales & Lead Gen | AI Voice Systems | Make, n8n, Vapi".
Used Claude and Gemini to speed up writing my bio. Uploaded my LinkedIn résumé and let it go to work. I toggle between the two to compare their outputs. Currently Claude (Opus 4.5) is better overall in comprehension and writing style, but I like to keep Gemini in another tab for second opinions. I'm on the free plan for both and it suffices.
Nano Banana (Google's latest image gen / editing model), did a great job with my profile photo. The prompt is straightforward:
Now it's time to upload a professional profile photo. Here's my best photo. All I want you to do is
- change the t-shirt I'm wearing into a baby blue shirt, business casual style
- remove the earphones
- remove the bag strap

Gemini-edited photo
Btw, if you search for "Nano Banana", you'll get a bunch of different links. But if you're already using Gemini as your main AI chat buddy, click on Tools and select 🍌 Create images and you can edit images right there without leaving your conversation.
srsly what are they up to, why so confusing
If you don't select "Create images", it won't be able to process any image-related tasks. I know because I tried. You're welcome.
Spent the best part of the day setting the next 12 weeks' goals. I'm all pumped to crush them!
What does 10,000 hours of pure curiosity look like — and can it pay $10,000 a month?
That's the experiment.
I sold a 13-year restaurant business in 2019, taught myself to code, and have been chasing every "what if" since. Real hours, real dollars, updated daily.
I've been self-employed for 20 years. My goal is to keep it that way for the next 20.
