Using a rules-based system, GeniuXs can automate many tasks for businesses, such as checking the sales data once a week and automatically starting a 48-hour sale if monthly revenue has fallen below a specified target.<\/p>\n<p>While working on GeniuXs, Josh began exploring and imagining the potential of more advanced automated systems. In 2014, he wrote the blog post <a href=\"https:\/\/joshabbott.com\/?p=20\">Baby Steps Toward True Artificial Intelligence<\/a> which pondered the possibility of using positive or negative reinforcement to steer the direction of AI, rather than a structured rules-based system. This blog post foresaw many concepts that would become the foundation of mainstream large language models nearly a decade later.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, Josh updated GeniuXs to use modern AI to write emails, provide analysis of sales data, and more. In July 2023, GeniuXs introduced the ability to create custom AIs for specific tasks, several months before custom GPTs were publicly released.<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, Josh has been working on the next-generation of LFM as an AI-first platform, <a href=\"https:\/\/zaria.com\">Zaria.com<\/a> as an advanced AI platform with trained agents built for professionals, and created a <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/logiscape\/mcp-sdk-php\">Model Context Protocol SDK for PHP<\/a> to lay the foundation future developments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Josh Abbott is the owner of Logiscape and the Executive Developer of the LFMTE, LFMVM, and LFM software platforms.\u00a0 He [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-14","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/joshabbott.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/joshabbott.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/joshabbott.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joshabbott.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joshabbott.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/joshabbott.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":170,"href":"https:\/\/joshabbott.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14\/revisions\/170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/joshabbott.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
