🔍 Relay App Workshop Recap
Now, a big thanks to everyone who joined our workshop with Jacob (jacob@relay.app) last Friday! It was fantastic seeing you all build LinkedIn profile finders in real-time.
My favorite moment was when Jacob demonstrated how breaking complex tasks into micro-steps makes AI much more accurate. Admittedly, finding my profile with mismatching information was a tougher challenge than expected! :D
As promised, here's everything you need to continue building with Relay:
📺 Relay YouTube Channel for more tutorials
Note: Can't access the recording? Just subscribe
and you'll gain access automatically! (The subscription trigger was built with Relay and took me literally 10 seconds to set up - that's how powerful these workflow tools are!)
Have you built something cool with what you learned? We'd love to see it! Tag our Linkedin account when you do!
🎉 Congratulations to Our Manus Winners!
A big round of applause to Ow**n, Ok**y, and Jere**h for winning access to the Manus Community Account! Your comments and enthusiasm for AI made you stand out in our recent giveaway. You'll be receiving access details directly via email.

🌟 Final Thoughts
The next two months represent an exciting opportunity to deepen your AI skills, expand your network, and possibly even launch your next big project. What makes our community special is the combination of learning and doing - theoretical knowledge put immediately into practice.
Whether you're just getting started with AI or already building sophisticated applications, there's something for you in our upcoming events. I'm particularly excited about the Hack for Impact NYC event because it demonstrates how quickly AI tools are evolving from novelties into instruments of real social change.
Will I see you at one of our upcoming events? I hope so! And if you have ideas for future events or would like to contribute in any way, please reach out - this community grows through your participation.
Happy building!
