AI resources for people with a business to run
work smarter, stay chill ~
Everything below is free and open — no email wall, no gated PDF, no “book a call to see the rest.” Take what’s useful, ignore the rest, and if you want a human to look at your particular mess, that’s what the phone number is for.
Drawer 01 Field Guides by industry
Seven plain-English guides to what AI actually does in a real business — yours, specifically.
Every guide covers the same ground for a different trade: the six jobs AI genuinely handles well there, the three tools we'd build for it, recordings of those tools running, and straight answers to the questions everybody asks but nobody wants to ask out loud.
No jargon, no prices dressed up as strategy, no pretending a chatbot is a business plan. Start with the one that sounds like your Saturday.
- Rentals
AI for Vacation Rentals
What AI can actually do for vacation rentals, in plain English — guest texts answered, pricing that watches the calendar, turnovers that run themselves.
- Retail
AI for Retail
What AI can actually do for a retail shop — photograph a product once and it’s listed everywhere, reorders drafted before the stockout.
- Restaurants
AI for Restaurants
What AI can actually do for a restaurant, in plain English — the phone answered during the rush, one menu change everywhere, review replies in your voice.
- Services
AI for Service Providers
What AI can do for plumbers, HVAC, landscapers and contractors — calls answered on the roof, quotes out the same night, schedules that survive the rain.
- Real Estate
AI for Real Estate
What AI can actually do for agents & brokers — portal leads answered in minutes, listing copy from the photo set, showings that book themselves.
- Entrepreneurs
AI for Entrepreneurs
What AI can actually do for a one-person business, in plain English — an inbox that triages itself, content in your voice, follow-ups that never drop.
- Just for Fun
AI, Just for Fun
Not everything needs an ROI.
Drawer 02 From the desk
Notes, teardowns, and build logs land here — short pieces about what we tried, what broke, and what turned out to be worth it.
The drawer is genuinely empty right now, and we’d rather show you an empty drawer than three fake articles. The newsletter is where the first ones will go out.
Drawer 03 Keep going
