What I doorder: the way I tell it

What I do.

Ask my AItested for sarcasm

Ask my AI.

Trained on my work, my opinions and a suspiciously large stock of one-liners. If it doesn't know something, it says so. That's more than you can say for most people on LinkedIn.

This is an AI. It can be wrong. So can the real Gideon, but at least you can call him out.

On The Flai · AI video · mid 2024

Everything you see here is generated, with the AI of mid 2024. In AI years that's roughly the Stone Age. Still looks suspiciously good.

On The Flai was my AI content agency: commercials, social and music videos in days instead of weeks. With a human hand on top, because that's where the difference is.

Before AIprompts used: 0

Before AI, there was already a Gideon.

For almost twenty years I made campaigns without a single prompt. Agency side and client side, from the first sketch to the TV commercial. That's where my taste comes from. AI just makes it faster.
