A Talking Perspex Jesus, and a Medicare MVP

Pivoting Projects (Because My Mentor’s Busy)

I’ve been waiting on some guidance for my Anki application (it’s been on ice for a bit), so in the meantime, I shifted focus to something else: a Medicare selector. Yep, seriously. This MVP helps users figure out whether to choose a supplement plan or an advantage plan—and it also covers the essential enrollment windows and medical coverage details.

My favorite part? I’m integrating at least three different scrapers:

1. Medication Coverage – Because nothing’s worse than discovering your new plan won’t cover that one prescription you really need.
2. Reputation & Costs – Some providers love to deny operations. Others might offer cheaper premiums but destroy you with co-pays. Let’s get it all out in the open.
3. Regulatory Updates – The Medicare and state websites are always changing the rules. Real-time scraping helps this tool stay accurate and helpful.

A friend’s Medicare insurance broker actually needs something like this—and he’ll pay for it. Hello, potential revenue stream.

Five MVPs for Christmas

That’s the short-term goal: five MVPs by Christmas (or as many as I can get over the finish line). Why five? Because having multiple prototypes means lots of fresh material for my upcoming YouTube Live sessions in the new year.

Each MVP is a chance to innovate, test, refine—and share the journey with my audience. Build in public. Break in public. Learn in public.

My Hook: Building a Talking Perspex Jesus on a Jetson Nano

Yep. You read that right. If I just taught the same old automation workflows everyone’s already doing, I’d blend into the background.

So here’s the twist: a talking Perspex Jesus, powered by an NVIDIA Jetson Nano.

Why? Because people will stop and say, “Wait… what!?” And that reaction is gold. In a world full of sameness, standing out is non-negotiable.

This project isn’t just about novelty—it’s a functional AI-powered voicebot that’s conversational, interactive, and housed in a statue. It’s weird, fun, slightly irreverent, and very me. The kind of project that starts conversations—and carves a totally unique space in the AI world.

The Medicare MVP Meets…Amazon?

On the practical side: once the Medicare selector MVP is solid, I plan to approach AWS. They offered an incubation opportunity at the Re:Invent conference, and if I can present a working product—especially one that helps solve a major pain point like confusing Medicare decisions—it could open some really exciting doors.

At the very least, it gives me a compelling reason to start conversations.

Laying Out a New Routine (And YouTube Dreams)

I’m ready for a fresh schedule in the new year. Here’s what it looks like:

• Daily Live Videos – Mornings to share progress on AI tools and MVP development.
• Evening Builds – One focused hour a night to build hands-on.
• Creative Content Blitz – Short-form and long-form content to market the apps and share behind-the-scenes moments.
• Jetson Nano Spotlight (3 days/week) – Progress logs on the “Talking Perspex Jesus” build.
• MVP Showcases (4 days/week) – Demos, breakdowns, and storytelling around the five MVPs.

The goal? To pull back the curtain and let people see the real, messy, magical process. The wins, the fails, the pivots, the breakthroughs. That’s where the growth happens. That’s where the story is.

Wrapping Up

So there you have it: from bizarre AI experiments (looking at you, Perspex Jesus) to a practical Medicare MVP that could lead to something bigger—I’m pouring everything I’ve got into building, creating, and sharing.

This journey is about more than tech—it’s about making people stop, think, and imagine what’s possible when you mix AI with creativity and just a little bit of chaos.

Stick around. It’s about to get weird—in the best way. 🧠⚡
