Studio notes

Full history.

The small running log behind the homepage status strip: models I am testing, systems in progress, experiments, and field notes from the studio.

Website review workflow

Turned client feedback into a seven-page website preview, an editable copy document and a matching design PDF. Applied the latest wording to the intended product section, preserved the previous version and packaged everything for review.

AI workflow guides

Prepared new JQ AI SYSTEMS guides on video analysis, agent workflows and building a startup prototype. Each includes source credits, practical steps and a reusable prompt. The latest batch is checked locally and waiting for upload.

AI workflows Practical guides Content
JQ VISIONS

Added new JQ VISIONS write-ups on paper animation, prompt-based video editing and motion design with code. Organised the workflows into reusable prompts, credited the original creators, and checked the articles on desktop and mobile. Upload packages are ready.

Client newsletter

Prepared a branded client newsletter with event artwork, booking links and reusable sections. Checked the desktop and mobile previews and the action buttons, then saved it for client approval before sending.

Email design Client review Newsletter
The Builder Digest

Added The Builder Digest signup to JQ AI SYSTEMS, with confirmed subscriptions, a private issue editor and a designed email template. The aim is a short selection of useful tools, practical articles and work from the studio. The first regular issue is still being prepared.

Website assistant

Added an Ask & book assistant to JQ AI SYSTEMS. It answers from a small set of approved public information, links to relevant work and opens the consultation calendar on request. Booking requests need my confirmation. The assistant has no access to private project files.

Editorial automation

Used Codex to apply established typography and layout rules across a brochure’s repeated tables. Kept the tables editable in Illustrator, checked the figures against the source material and prepared PDF proofs. Design direction and final review stayed with me.

Reusable AI skills

Prepared the next skill-library update with utilities for checking media specifications and comparing automation records, plus improvements to research and image-metadata workflows. The release candidate is being checked locally before publication.

AI skills Workflow tools Release candidate
Search measurement

Reworked how I evaluate search-snippet changes: compare each page only after its own recrawl, then check whether visitors reach an enquiry. The corrected reading showed no overall CTR change. A useful reminder to check the measurement before rewriting the site again.

Studio Library

Built a local Studio Library prototype for organising and reading reference PDFs. It imports files, groups duplicates, saves reading positions and bookmarks, and supports facing pages. Reading works offline, with metadata export and restore for moving the library between machines.

Local tools PDF reader Prototype
Automation reliability

Added queue replenishment and delivery checks to the Etsy-to-Pinterest workflow. It checks product availability, spaces repeat listings and reconciles publishing receipts. Ambiguous deliveries or missing board assignments stop the next batch for review.

Automation Pinterest Delivery checks
Deck Studio

Built a local Deck Studio prototype that turns a brief and brand kit into a presentation. Background artwork stays separate from editable text and logos, so small copy changes do not require a new image. The editor exports slide images, PDFs and PowerPoint files with editable text.

Deck Studio Presentations Creative tools
Thumbnail Studio

Took Thumbnail Studio beyond the working prototype: prepared its product page, public demo and code package, plus a trailer, teaser and five walkthrough videos. The walkthroughs cover choosing a thumbnail, pairing it with a title, checking legibility and exporting the final image.

Thumbnail Studio Product videos Creative tools
Feed Studio

Built Feed Studio to turn project folders into a social-content pack: campaign angles, image prompts, LinkedIn and X copy, and a review screen. Its checker flags missing assets, incorrect image sizes, long posts and unsupported claims before anything is ready to post.

Feed Studio Content workflow Creative tools
Agent stack

Published a practical guide to the new Agent Plugins format: portable skills, MCP server wiring, client support, migration paths, and the security boundaries teams need before sharing plugins.

Tembr

Worked on Tembr's local voice studio UI: record-and-clone flow, voice library polish, shared API wiring, and consent-first voice workflows that keep biometric data on the user's machine.

Packaged a local YouTube Thumbnail Studio: seven brand-safe thumbnail directions, reference packs, tiny-size legibility checks, reality-check feed previews, winner exports, and social image packs.

AI search

Turned the free SEO stack into a practical AI-visibility workflow: Bing, IndexNow, Ahrefs, title cleanup, and new explainers on AEO, citations, query fan-out, and share of voice.

Site ops

Added search-ops tooling around IndexNow submissions and Bing query snapshots so new pages can be submitted, monitored, and compared without waiting only on Search Console.

IndexNow Bing Search ops
Grid Studio

Integrated Grid Studio into the main website, with its own case study, product tour and twelve tool tutorials. The app now sits alongside the other studio tools, with redirects keeping its previous links working.

JQ AI services and search cleanup

Repaired and tuned the JQ AI SYSTEMS service and discovery layer: fixed the consulting service route, reordered the service hierarchy around assessment, consulting, lead generation and AI stack setup, synced the homepage preview and service metadata, cut the blog archive from about 765 KB to 79 KB with pagination and leaner schema, reduced broad search pages from about 402 KB to 64 KB, tightened short-query precision
