Dear subscribers,
I know what it feels like to come home after a busy day at work and try to learn AI at night. Every week, there’s a new model or tool that you’re supposedly behind on.
Since going independent, the best thing that I’ve built with AI isn’t a new tool or app. It’s a personal AI system that proactively takes work off my plate.
Today, I’m making the biggest upgrade yet to the paid membership by making it easy for you to copy this system through:
My full AI course with 25+ bite-sized lessons, 40+ prompts, and 16 ready-to-install skills.
$600+ in free AI tool access for Grok Bot, Cursor, Replit, Lovable, Granola, Wispr Flow, and more (valid for new users of each tool).
Monthly live workshops in a private Slack community where I’ll help you put everything into practice.
Join by October 7 to lock in $150/year for as long as you stay subscribed. On October 8, the price goes up to $200/year for new members.
If you’re already one of the 1,000+ paid members, you can keep your current price and sign in at behindthecraft.com to get all the benefits above.
Here’s a 3-minute video walking through what’s included in your new membership:
Get my personal AI course with 25+ lessons
ChatGPT, Claude, Grok Bot, Muse — you could spend all day just trying the latest AI tools.
Instead, I believe that everyone should invest in a system of personal AI skills and workflows that they can use with any new tool or model.
My AI course is the fast track to copy my system so that you can start taking recurring work off your plate this afternoon.
Across 25+ bite-sized lessons, you’ll:
Build an AI chief of staff to manage your inbox, calendar, and other tasks.
Set up an AI advisor to make better decisions about your life and career.
Find work to automate by building a plan and mapping out the steps.
Create reusable skills and chain them together to automate entire workflows.
Make AI proactive by copying my best work and personal AI workflows.
Here are 3 things that make my course unique:
It includes 16 AI skills and 40+ prompts that you can simply copy and paste.
All lessons are handcrafted and tested by me to be AI slop free.
I plan to update this course monthly as AI changes. It’s not a static course.
Here’s a quick snapshot of a lesson in the course:
Get $600+ in AI tool credits and discounts
There are many AI tool discount packs out there. But if you sign up for all the tools and aren’t careful about renewals, you could face a $1,000+ bill at the end of the year.
I chose a smaller set of AI tools that I personally use and can recommend. Together, the offers add up to more than $600 in credits, including:
$200 in Grok Bot and Cursor credits
3 months free for Replit
3 months free for Lovable
3 months free for Granola
6 months free for Wispr Flow
and more…
These discounts are valid for new users of each tool only. I plan to add more over time including from the frontier labs.
Join my private Slack community with monthly live workshops
After years of building online communities, I’ve found that a small community where everyone knows each other is better than a large one with thousands of strangers.
That’s why I’ve been sharing all my honest takes and memes in my private Slack for paid members. My goal is to get to know every paid member so we’ve also been hosting monthly live workshops and, soon, in-person events.
My next workshop is a free live lesson on October 2, where I’ll demo my AI chief of staff and show how my advisor, automations, and chained skills work together.
As a reminder, the price for new members will go up from $150 to $200/year on October 8 (in 2 weeks). Upgrade now to lock in the current rate.
As always, thank you for supporting me and this newsletter.
I hope to see you inside the community!

"AI slop free" is a hell of a thing to have to advertise. Also, the $600 in tool credits is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline, considering the parenthesis just quietly told us they only work if you're a brand-new user of every single one. So the real number is closer to "some of it, for some of you, once." Not the crime of the century, but I'd hold the countdown clock to October 7 at arm's length.
