The Alkemist
You use the fire. You keep your freedom, your creativity and your voice while creating with AI.
We teach people to use technology to create, without getting burned.
You are a Scroller. You would like to use AI, but you don't want to become a Slopper, and you are afraid of what the Haters will say.
There is a fourth way: above the machine.
You use the fire. You keep your freedom, your creativity and your voice while creating with AI.
The fire eats your life, one hour at a time. You scroll for hours and make nothing.
The fire weakens your mind. You hand AI everything and flood the web with junk.
The fire scares you. You hate AI and never stop talking about it, in a feed that AI picked for you.
Want to stop scrolling without becoming a Slopper? Become an Alkemist. Join AlkeMind.
In one hour you have a finished song to play to someone you love. You need no music theory and no expensive gear.
Your first AI song is only the first course. More courses are on the way, each one a new way to create with the fire.
I've been building with AI for 20 years. I've been publishing novels since 2016. And still, the machine got me. I hated it, and I couldn't put my phone down. I was a Scroller.
I thought: if AI can write a novel in a few clicks, why should I write? I stopped creating. Major depression.
September 2025, Portugal. I had just read The Alchemist. At sunset I walked down the Initiation Well in Sintra. From the bottom, you only see a circle of light above you. That's when I got it. With technology, you have two places. Above it or under it.
I chose above. I took the world I'd been writing for years and turned it into Pentaworld Screams, the first seinen anime in the world made with AI tools. Creating it pulled me out.
Haters scream at the fire. Alkemists use it.
