7:06 am Sydney Australia December 27, 2023: Have you ever been at the finish line and literally stalled out and sabotaged yourself?
Well I have. After 72 hours of straight work, barely eating, sleeping 1 hour here and there, developing with a team from all around the world day and night. I’m here.
We did it!!!!! I think. 🤯
You are the first to know that my team and I have made history today.
We are the first AI Gaming Charity in the world.
We are going to change the world with one dollar and give back to the people. We are owned by the people. We are for the people.
We are a collective of entrepreneurs who had a dream to change the world.
Here is the epic story as it unfolded:
Dec 7, Julia Cordray learns about a new AI and it’s ability to blow any other AI out of the water
Dec 7 Julia didn’t sleep thinking about how AI can leave a legacy for good
Dec 8 Julia hired a team of people to do the impossible! Build an AI company in 5 days by Dec 13 when this new AI would be released to developers.
Dec 8-9 Dream team starts working and designing from Austin, Sydney, South Africa, and Canada.
Dec 9 Gem created her own personality and helped guide her creation. We asked her what she wanted to become and she answered!
Dec 10-11 We code like geeks in a basement and send some of the funniest messages I have ever seen because we are delirious with excitement.
Dec 13 We are live on the testing site and it works! I literally cry with happiness as we made history. The first AI company for the greater good plugged into an AI with the most powerful brain on the planet! We are a game, we are a charity giver, we change lives, we delight and surprise. We are Gem.
Dec 14-16 We play with Gem and we can’t believe it. We love her!
Dec 16 We find out we can’t use the payment system we set up and have to switch from Stripe to someone else. Our CTO who set up the payment system has to leave us that day as his dad passed away 😞
Dec 17 I call my guy Brad to the rescue who works on all my apps, I ask him to help solve it. Brad is a genius on the spectrum.
Dec 18-23 Brad and I coordinate to build the apps. We are crushing it and are so excited by how simple and fun it is.
Dec 24-Dec 25: My team, Brad and I work all day and all night for 48 hours. We have to fix the payment system and switch it.
Christmas Day: I worked from 2:38am straight through for 72 hours. There was a nervous breakdown as I had people code through the night - these were strangers from India, Pakistan, the UK. I hired 4 different people and they all failed! My CTO was sleeping and I was left alone in the wild with people promising me they know what they are doing and then failing me!
Dec 25 at 11am Mr. Dang from Vietnam takes over and we are back! He is solving things quickly! He told me to go sleep and that he will handle it. He’s my Batman and I’m Robin. We make it through the day and the website has a payment system now!
We had coded all day/night and we still had a critical error on the website. I feel deflated. A button that unlocks the whole point of my company is broken. A button is ruining my life. I sit at my computer and I rant realizing that my dreams of launching on Christmas are gone.
So I order $200 worth of Thai food have Christmas dinner alone, put my big girl pants on and keep going.
I work all through the night with Brad and Mr. Dang.
Dec 26: The website is still broken and I’m devastated. I call an expert in from Sydney to fix it. I go shopping to ease my mind and get a good deal on a Bluetooth speaker which raises my spirits.
Then I work all through the night again.
Dec 27 I have the website under control, everything is working and we are headed to the promise land.
I’m now sitting 890 feet up in the air at the Sydney Crown Casino Spa overlooking the harbor. I feel like a million bucks as I just had a massage, facial and body scrub which I had completely slept through 🤣
Today Dec 27, in Sydney Australia a team with a big dream to change the world just made history as the fist AI Charity Game in the world and we have big hopes and dreams for Gem.
Welcome to Ask Gem where you are about to play the world’s most powerful game of good.
Are you ready?
