Never set up an AI workspace? Start with lesson 1 and work down. Each one takes an afternoon or less.
The complete-beginner’s guide: one AI, one home folder, and a plain “read-me-first” doc that tells the AI how you work. No coding, about an afternoon.
The overwhelm isn’t the tools, it’s not knowing what’s next. The whole beginner path on one page, from “just talk to it” to “put it on a schedule.”
Good prompting isn’t secret phrases, it’s structure: who it is and what you want, the guardrails, one example, no guessing. Then steer instead of starting over.
The gap between generic AI and “this sounds like me” isn’t a better model, it’s context. Feed it your world once so every answer lands.
Playbooks · Build a system
The real systems behind my business, written up so you can build your own. Every one follows the same rule: it proposes, you approve. Rather have one built for you? Find your starting point.
A system that drafts your social content every weekday (ideas, copy, on-brand visuals, a ready-to-post package) while you stay the editor.
One small, reliable AI “worker” that does a single job well and never goes rogue, using tools you already have. One job, the right context, guardrails, and a test.
Have AI adversarially pen-test your own app before it goes live, fix what it finds, and end with a clear PASS or BLOCK. The exact gate every build of mine clears first.
An AI worker that turns your copy into on-brand visuals, the same way every time. Lock the brand into a template; let the agent fill only the words.
A crew of small, single-job agents that brief you each morning, prep your meetings, and run your content, with a human approving every real move.
Teach Claude your exact workflow once (the steps, the rules, the voice) and reuse it with a single word. Includes a fill-in-the-blank SKILL.md.
An assistant that runs the admin around your work (inbox, calendar, meeting prep, follow-ups) and stops at a draft every time. The implementation guide has all five prompts.
The seven principles behind how every build gets secured, and the three-phase gate that turns them into a process. Pair it with Playbook 03 for the hands-on review.
A folder of short notes Claude reads before every task, so you stop re-explaining yourself every chat. How I set mine up in Obsidian, plus a copy-paste CLAUDE.md and the prompts to build yours.
These are the free versions of the work I do. Take the 90‑second discovery and you’ll see exactly where I’d start for your business.
