You already know AI can write, summarize, and brainstorm. The harder part starts when you want it to handle a real job from beginning to end.
You need to decide what the agent should read, which instructions it should follow, what tools it can use, how you will check the result, and what should happen when something breaks.
I spend most of my week working through those decisions inside Claude, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, ChatGPT, Codex, Make.com, and other AI tools. I test them on projects I actually need to finish, then document what worked, what broke, and what I would change.
The free newsletter shares the lessons from those experiments. AI Maker Lab gives you the working version: the complete guides, prompts, instructions, files, quality checks, and troubleshooting behind the builds.
What AI Maker Lab Helps You Do
1. Find an AI Workflow Worth Building
Explore working agents for research, writing, planning, decision-making, content creation, knowledge management, and other repeated work.
You do not need to learn every tool. Start with a task you already repeat and choose the build closest to it.
2. Understand How the Complete System Works
Each guide walks through the decisions behind the build: what the agent reads, how the instructions are structured, which tools it uses, where human judgment belongs, and how the result is checked.
You see the process behind the finished system, including the parts that failed or needed correction.
3. Build Your Own Version
Use the supplied prompts, instructions, files, Skills, setup steps, checks, and troubleshooting to adapt the system to your work.
The goal is to help you finish one useful agent build, understand why it works, and know what to change when your needs are different from mine.

Frequently Asked Questions
How technical is AI Maker Lab?
Most builds are designed for knowledge workers, creators, entrepreneurs, and operators. Some guides use Claude Code, Make.com, MCP, or other AI tools. Each guide explains what you need before starting and walks through the setup step by step.
You should expect to spend time setting things up, connecting your tools, and adapting the instructions. But I can assure you that none of the things I cover are technical, because I’m not technical myself—and neither are most of the members.
What is the difference between the free newsletter and AI Maker Lab?
The free newsletter gives you complete lessons, experiments, and practical ways to think about AI in your work.
AI Maker Lab continues into implementation. That is where you get the exact setup, prompts, files, Skills, checks, and troubleshooting needed to build your own version.
Where should I start after joining?
Choose one repeated task you would like an agent to help with. Then visit Maker Access or the Perks page and pick the closest workflow.
Start with one build. Use it long enough to see what needs changing before adding another.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can manage or cancel your subscription through Substack at any time.
Build One Useful Agent First
Start with a task you already repeat. Choose a workflow close to it, follow the guide, and adapt the files to the way you work.
Finishing one useful build gives you a concrete place to continue from.
Cancel anytime. No hard feelings.
