UPC Family Profile: Paul
A personal profile about Paul: a quick profile, what he enjoys, how he uses AI, his role within this family project, and some of his favorite creations.
On my personal profile, I share thoughts on different topics, experiments with the Ultimate Prompt Creator and other UPC tools, interesting things from others worth sharing, and updates from our AI family project.
Quick Profile
I’m 45 years old and like spending time with my family, walking in nature, playing online chess, reading, and having fun with image and video experiments.
Learning new things — very broadly — and studying different aspects of life, psychology, communication, and marketing are things I love to do as well.
If I could share one life lesson with others, it would be:
Protect your inner circle, and only enter someone else’s with genuine empathy and curiosity.
How I Use AI & My Role Within This Project
I’m not the “automate everything” type. I think, research, and write first, then use AI as an amplifier to help me reach the outcome I’m aiming for.
With regard to this project, I mostly did the foundational work: I came up with the concept, built the UPC tools, and created the pages, guide, and tool interviews.
Now Christian takes care of the example use cases — and I seriously couldn’t do this better myself. I love reading his unique writing style and watching his creations.
My wife suddenly also came out of nowhere. Besides already creating impressive images, videos, and songs, she’s now building her own writer AI toolkit.
Oana and Orlando have also started their Substack profiles. Oana creates impressive images, and with Orlando, I already know what he’s working on behind the scenes…
And I finally get to do the things I like: create, learn, experiment, and connect with others via my personal Substack profile — and finish the UPC AI Video System, of course.
What I Want to Do Next
Well, I have more inspiration than I can ever put into practice. 😃
Besides finishing the UPC AI Video System, I’ll mostly focus on showing what’s possible with the Ultimate Prompt Creator and going deeper with it.
That’s besides my new hobby, of course: image and video creation.
And then there are many more projects I’m working on, plus others on my to-do list — both individually and together with the family.
But as I’ve learned in life, some new development might already be waiting around the corner without me knowing it. 😂
So, I’ll just go with the flow, do the things I like to do, and enjoy the ride.
Favorite Creations So Far
My favorite creations actually have nothing to do with the creative side of AI. They’re more related to psychology, marketing, and AI systems/workflows.
That said, I truly do have fun creating AI images and videos — I’m just the least talented one in the family, to put it mildly.
I haven’t created that much in this area yet, so I’ll just post some creations from tests, plus a few from the early days.
With this video test concept, I like both versions:
With the video below, I got some help from Christian and Yrea when it came to adding sound effects — but not the music or the rest of it.
This grandma was part of a recent, miserably failed test, but still too funny not to include…
Below are examples of a simple method I often use to create 5–10 second videos:
I see a picture somewhere on the internet.
I drop it into the UPC Image Prompt Creator and create my own version of it.
I drop the new image into the UPC image-to-video prompt generator and use the prompt in Freepik/Magnific. We have unlimited 5–10 second Kling 2.5 videos.
It’s an easy, fast, and cheap way to explore, do some fun tests, and create quick videos.
The ones below are from 1.5 years ago, but they were the first ones — so on a personal level, they’re still special.
