Each week, we breakdown a real AI workflow running inside a real creative business. How it works, what it costs, and what you can copy for yourself.
2026
- #009 AI ads that don't look like AI ads This is for anyone who needs to make static image ads for paid media. Producing them the conventional way can be slow, manual and tedious, and the AI tools that were meant to help mostly hand back generic, inconsistent results that need endless manual prompting.
- #008 People pay more for furniture they built themselves Your proposal is usually the first real thing a client gets from you. For most of us it's a simple PDF, and a PDF can make good work look cheap.
- #007 I turned one finished project into a week of social media content Posting your work online is a great way for clients to find you, but most of your best work gets one post and then sits in a folder for nobody to see.
- #006 Why your AI documents look like sh*t ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini are great at creating documents. But they come out looking like generic garbage by default.
- #005 Find your next 100 clients on autopilot Most creative businesses don't have a proper outreach process. They rely on inbound, word of mouth, and a spreadsheet of "people I should email" that they keep meaning to get to. The reason it's not happening is that outreach can be a full time job in itself.
- #004 I took 4,305 screenshots last year. You are sitting on years of saved references that you’ve done nothing with - screenshots, links, voice notes, bookmarks. Saved then forgotten, never to be seen again.
- #003 The one change that increased my client close rate by 63% A proposal that lands within an hour of a discovery call closes clients more often than the one that lands three days later. Not because it's better written. Because client interest peaks on the call and decays from the moment they hang up.
- #002 I used ChatGPT to write my wedding speech Your AI sounds average because it is averaging the internet. That is how these models work by default.
