As of January 2026, it is very clear to me that we are only bound by our imagination.
In less than a week I:
- built my new consulting website (paulfabretti.com) with fancy features using Lovable (pro tip: use Lovable chat to refine your question and ideas before pressing "go"!)
- recreated my (horrible!) voice to be dangerously accurate using ElevenLabs for using in my Substack.
- built an automated email marketing reporting template using Anthropic Code and Google Sheets and the Kit API.
- reshot my video avatar in Synthesia to produce some new training material.
edit: - created an actual speed reader tool from *that* viral video

I am the literal kid in a candy store. I look at the code that has been generated and still look at it like it's greek to me, yet I've successfully done things that only a year ago would have been near-impossible.
As Azeem mentioned in his Exponential View column this week:
"The sensation is less of using tools and more of what I imagine conducting an orchestra may feel like. And as any conductor, you need to know your players...I’ve gone from being a terrible developer...to delivering some really excellent products which the team and I use many times a day."
Regardless of where you sit in a business or your technical capabilities, your subject matter expertise and curiosity can now thrive.
