Plain-English AI playbooks for the work that eats your week: customer emails, estimates, Google reviews, hiring, social posts. Copy the prompt. Do the thing. Go home.
Browse the playbooks → Get one freeYou run a salon, a landscaping crew, a bakery, a three-truck HVAC outfit, a law office with one lawyer (you). You've heard AI can help. Every tutorial you've found assumes you have a CTO care about "vector embeddings."
We assume one thing: you have 20 minutes and a real problem. Each playbook is a specific scenario — "answer all my Google reviews," "draft my estimates" — with the exact prompts, the screenshots, and the part nobody else includes: how to check the robot's work before you trust it.
Every playbook assumes you've done these four things. Do them once, on a slow Tuesday, with coffee.
Sign up free at claude.ai (our pick) or chatgpt.com. The free tier is plenty to start. No credit card, no installing anything — it's a website where you type and it types back.
Skip "write me a poem." Try this instead:I run a [your business] in [town]. What are 5 tasks I do every week that you could help with? Ask me questions first.
The "ask me questions first" part is the whole trick.
AI gives back what you give it. "Write a customer email" gets you mush. "Write a 60-word reply to a customer asking why their fence quote went up $200 — friendly, no groveling, materials cost more now" gets you something you'd actually send.
AI confidently makes things up — prices, policies, staff members you don't employ. Read everything before it leaves your shop. Every playbook includes a checklist for exactly this.
$19 each. Bundle of all six for $49. Written for humans, built around the problems real businesses actually have.
The 20-minute starting point: get a free AI account, learn the one rule of prompting, and find out why you should never fully trust Gary. Every other playbook assumes you've done this.
Answer every Google review — the glowing ones, the unhinged ones — in your own voice, 15 minutes a week. Includes the "1-star from someone who's never been a customer" protocol.
Turn a voice memo from the job site into a clean, priced estimate before your coffee's done. Your margins stay yours; the typing doesn't.
The shared inbox is haunted. We can't fix that, but AI can draft 80% of the replies and flag the three emails that actually need you.
A month of posts in one sitting — in your voice, about your actual work, with zero stock photos of people high-fiving in an office.
Job posts that attract humans, screening questions that filter politely, and interview scripts so you stop winging it. The robot reads the résumés; you meet the good ones.
Follow-ups, scheduling, no-show reminders, "just checking in" emails — the admin sludge, automated. Reclaim one full afternoon a week. Use it for anything. Even a nap.
"Gary answered 31 Google reviews this week, drafted 14 estimates, and wrote a job post for a bakery in Ohio. Gary does not want a raise. Gary wants you to double-check his math, because Gary is a robot and occasionally invents a discount that does not exist." — Every playbook includes a "Check Gary's Work" section. This is why.
