The Bite

Most of what you type in a day, you could just say. Here’s the setup I use to talk to my computer instead, and how to have it running before lunch.

The Feed

Three steps. Pick a dictation tool, teach it the names and words you use most, then give it one job a day, like answering email.

Below the Surface

I kept fixing what my dictation app wrote, so I built my own. It taught me which busywork is worth handing off and which isn’t.

One idea, worked all the way through, every Tuesday.

Most newsletters waste your time

This one won’t. Here’s what you get, and what you won’t.

What’s in it

  • Workflows we actually run, with the steps written out
  • Mistakes we made so you don’t have to
  • An honest look at building a company with AI
  • Things a small team can set up this week

What isn’t

  • Generic marketing advice everyone has already heard
  • Advice from someone who has never built the thing
  • Walls of text you will never finish reading
  • Sales pitches dressed up as advice

Who it’s for

You are good at your work and new to AIYou lose hours a week to busywork you’d rather hand offYou want the exact steps, not a pep talkYou run a business, or want to start oneYou like getting a little better at this every week

Skip it if you already build AI tools for a living, are looking for get-rich-quick tactics, want 10,000-word thought leadership essays.
