I'm Bryan. I'm a Manchester-based operator and I'm building Lucent Frame.
Lucent Frame helps businesses understand where AI can genuinely improve the way they work. Then we design and build practical systems around those problems.
We don't start with a chatbot. We don't start with software. We start with the business.
I call that Phase 0. Before anything gets built, you need to know how work comes in, who handles it, where the information lives and where it gets stuck. If you don't understand the process, you can't safely automate it.
Why I'm doing this. I've spent years in sales, cold calling, lead generation and running local service businesses. I know what it's like when leads go cold, quotes sit unsent and customer details live in five different places. A lot of AI advice ignores that reality.
I also run Revitalize Resprays, a kitchen and bedroom respraying business. It's my own operating business, not a client. I'm using it as a live proof environment for lead capture, follow-up, quoting and CRM workflows. Real process, not a demo.
If you follow along, you'll get:
Plain explanations of AI for people who don't work in tech
What I'm learning building systems inside a real trades business
What works, what breaks and what I'd do differently
Where the human still needs to make the call
No hype. No made-up results. Just the honest version.
Human led. Be the human.

Someone asked me a good question. When a customer sends a photo my agent hasn't seen before, does it guess or ask? It should ask. What I'm building next: every time I answer, it keeps the lesson. And nothing changes my prices until I've approved it. Human led.

I said in January they have internally hit AGI, now it's a formality, they'll not release the models or will they...
Fable 5.2 shows substantially improved skills in controlling physical robots, even on tasks it has never explicitly been trained to do.
On RoboDojo, a benchmark with a simulated two-arm robot, it outperformed other models and most AI systems built to control robots.

MOST INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE I’VE HEARD IN A WHILE THAT ALL OF US YOUNG HUSTLERS NEED TO HEAR RIGHT NOW IN THE AGE OF AI !!!! 💥 🤖 💵
by @SimonDixonTwitt on @JonesDanny pod 🔥
"The battle is not left and right. It's not Republican, Democrat. It is CENTRALIZATION versus DECENTRALIZATION. The technology is centralizing. The finance and central banking is centralizing.
YOUR job is to digitally resist and understand that owning your own data, owning your own AI, creating your own environment is actually the skill that people need into the future.
The only way you can win in this game today is you need to own more assets EVERY month. Which means you need to spend less than you earn and invest the difference.
Most people say no chance, my numbers just don't work. Well, I was that person. I was at one stage in the most severe debt, and all of my money was going on servicing debt and interest. One day I had to face it head-on and realize there's no substitute for this. I've got to pay myself and invest in some assets. That happened in 2011. The asset that I chose was Bitcoin when it was about $3. I'm not here to pitch Bitcoin. You have to own some gold, some assets, whatever it is for you. If you do that every month for the rest of your life, you'll be fine.
But they don't want you to know that. They want you thinking you got to get a 1,000X on a crypto scam tomorrow cuz the world's over. Everything's about short-termism. The way you defeat the system is by actually believing that there is a bright future for yourself, have confidence in yourself, recognize that the rules are actually quite simple.
Earn your income with the gift that you've got today. The gift that the boomers had was buy property, get a job. That doesn't exist anymore. You were born with a phone in your hand. That phone was a weapon that did severe psychological operations to you, but it also gave you the opportunity. I've got the best assistant with AI that I've ever had. This is both the worst and best time for people that are harnessing it.
You're going to defeat this by leaning into the productivity, BUILDING something using the tools available to you today, investing in decentralized stuff, building your own stuff, and helping other people do that.
You vote with your money. In terms of geopolitics and macro, I want to understand how they work, but I'm not going to change them. I'm not going to stop the control grid. I'm not going to stop the FIC (Financial Industrial Complex) from building multipolarity. In the end, what do you control? You control YOURSELF. Your mind, what you consume. Your spiritual connection, your soul. Your health. Your relationships with your family. Your home. Your community.
Don't see the world better than it is or worse than it is. Just see it as it is. Try and deprogram yourself. Whatever they're trying to algorithmically get you to do is probably the opposite.
Become RADICALLY optimistic about what you as an individual can achieve. Become realistic about the world as it is. Accept the world as it is and lean into it. Own more assets every single month, and believe that you're building something and there is a bright future. We're moving into so much uncertainty, but it's kind of exciting at the same time as petrifying."

Couldn’t have put it better myself, but to sum it up in my own words. Us young people in online biz We have the greatest opportunity. asalways, we gotta stay locked in on our health mindset and businesses and forget about all the media that is about doom because we literally can’t control it but what we can control is what’s in front of us, so let’s fucking crush.. personally I’ve always been a super optimist and continue to still be. . But of course, it’s natural There’s going to be lots of fear because fear - of the unknown is the most natural animal instinct, and no one is quite sure the implications of Ai.. but it’s The most goddamn exciting time ever.
The gamble isn’t investing in AI. It’s doing nothing.
I get it. It’s new and you can’t touch it. But while you wait, the firm down the road is getting its quotes out the same day.
Start small. Map one job. Watch it work.

Most owners I ring think AI is just ChatGPT.
Copy and paste. Funny photos. A premium search engine, basically.
An AI agent is different. It does the job every day, on its own. You check it and say yes. Human-led, always.
ChatGPT waits for you. An agent gets stuff done.
Building this with @lucentframe 👇 Follow along.

Broccoli (W22) is building an AI front office for home services businesses, answering calls, following up with leads, and booking appointments across voice and text.
Today, they serve more than 500 customers, are booking jobs at a run rate of over $1 billion a year, and expect to end the year at more than $60 million in ARR, up from zero just two years ago, after recently raising a $30 million Series B.
In this fireside, @call_broccoli's founders @abhishekjain25 and @adityaketkar join YC's @gustaf to share the long path to finding that business, from an earlier EV startup that never found product-market fit to visiting 140 contractors across the Bay Area to understand their biggest problems firsthand. They explain how embedding inside a plumbing company led to the first version of Broccoli, why answering missed calls became the wedge, and how AI could eventually reshape the work of technicians themselves.

I have been head down, really dug in last few days building out the next stages of automating my business, now when I say automating, I don’t mean n8n, I mean Agentic AI Super intelligence, developing my business as a home improvement service become AI Native & Agentic.

I'm putting this into a few more businesses, and I can only take a handful.
If you own one and want to see how, DM me "PHASE 0".

While you wait, someone else's enquiries get answered in minutes, their quotes go out and their diary fills.
Every week the gap gets wider. Doing nothing is a bet that nothing changes.

If you own a business, the gamble isn't trying AI and getting it wrong.
It's looking at Bitcoin at £3.80 and thinking you'll buy it in a couple of months.

Here's how I see it.
What I'm doing now is the equivalent of buying Bitcoin in 2010.
Not because of hype. Because it's early, and it looks a bit mad.
