Hello and welcome to AI DIY, a channel I've created out of sheer fascination and a burning curiosity about artificial intelligence. My name is Matt St. Onge, and I'm here to take you with me on a journey of discovery, learning, and impactful creation in the world of AI.
Who Am I?
Let me share a bit about myself. For the past 20 years, I've been immersed in the world of IT and cybersecurity, navigating the complexities and marvels of technology. But despite my extensive experience, I found myself at the edge of a vast, unexplored territory: coding and AI. About 18 months ago, I started using AI in both my professional and personal life, and it's been nothing short of a revelation. Yet, here's the twist—I don't know how to code. Yes, you heard that right. My journey into AI is not one of an expert delving deeper into his field, but of a curious mind stepping into new grounds.
The Birth of AI DIY
The inception of AI DIY stems from a simple yet profound realization: developing software, particularly apps, can be prohibitively expensive and technically daunting. A few years back, I ran a business project aimed at developing an app. Despite not knowing a single line of code, I was deeply involved in the process, facing firsthand the financial and technical barriers that can stifle innovation. This experience lit a spark in me, leading to the creation of this channel. My mission with AI DIY is to demystify the process of learning AI and coding, making it accessible to everyone who's ever had a brilliant app idea but felt sidelined by the lack of technical know-how or financial resources.

A Mission with a Heart
But AI DIY isn't just about technology; it's about making a difference. One of our first projects will support Loveheart.org, a charity that works with the John Fawcett Foundation to restore sight to people in remote villages. This cause is close to my heart, and I believe that through our journey in AI and app development, we can also contribute to changing lives for the better. I want to bring you all on this adventure, not just as spectators, but as participants in a community that learns, creates, and gives back together. You can contribute to this noble cause by donating here.
Looking Ahead: A Path of Shared Growth
As we venture into the realms of AI and coding, I promise to share every step of the journey with you. From my first attempts at understanding AI to the challenges of developing our project app, I'll be transparent about the successes, the setbacks, and the lessons learned along the way. My hope is that by sharing my journey, you'll be inspired to embark on your own, breaking down the barriers that technology and coding might pose.
In conclusion, AI DIY is more than just a channel; it's a community and a journey we're on together. Whether you're a seasoned tech enthusiast or a curious newcomer like myself, there's a place for you here. So join me, Matt St. Onge, as we explore the world of AI, dive into coding, and make a tangible difference in the world. Together, let's turn curiosity into creation and learning into action. Welcome to AI DIY—let the adventure begin!
