If you’ve been following the build, you know GAIDE™ Chicago has been moving fast. This week we added Reddit to the social media stack — and it’s already the most important channel we have for reaching the builder community.

Here’s where to find us and what each channel is for.

Reddit — r/GAIDEChicago

This is the flagship community channel. Reddit is a high-tech community and if you’re building anything in the AI or tech space, you need a presence there. r/GAIDEChicago is the official community for vibe coders, indie builders, and sovereign creators. The rules are set, the sidebar is populated with direct CTAs, and the first posts are live including the No Pitch Deck anthem and the full build story.

Join the community at reddit.com/r/GAIDEChicago.

YouTube — @GAIDEChicago

The Build Journal series lives here. Every video documents the actual build process — wireframes, live apps, logo rebrands, social media setups. The Sovereignty Soundtrack is also on YouTube — all five preview tracks are live as Shorts. This is the primary long-form content channel.

Subscribe at youtube.com/GAIDEChicago.

X — @GAIDEChicago

Build journey posts, anthem drops, and event announcements. X is a discovery and SEO channel — every post adds another indexed touchpoint for people searching for vibe coding events, AI builder communities, and Chicago tech.

Follow at x.com/GAIDEChicago.

TikTok — @gaidechicago

Sovereignty Soundtrack shorts. That’s the primary content right now — all five anthem previews are being posted natively. TikTok is a content inventory channel, not the primary focus.
