About Picking Solutions
AI-curated market intelligence for energy markets, digital assets, and financial infrastructure.
The Story
In 2018, I wrote about the challenge of our age: "What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare?" The observation was simple—information abundance was creating attention poverty.
For years, that thought sat dormant. Not because I lacked ideas, but because starting felt too large. The gap between vision and execution felt insurmountable for a solo builder.
Then came December 2025. AI had matured from novelty to genuine creative amplifier. I realized: the barrier wasn't capability—it was permission to begin.
Picking Solutions was built in 30 days—from idea to live signals, tools, premium features, and everything you see here. Not because AI wrote it for me, but because AI removed the fear of starting. Human direction, AI amplification.
