Questions people actually ask.

A daily content stream and toolkit for solo founders who want to use AI like a coworker, not a novelty. Three shorts a day Mon–Fri, a free 15-page playbook, and The Coop — a $27/mo founding-rate community ($47 regular) with weekly live standups, a monthly workshop, priority async, and a growing prompt library.

Founders, solo operators, side-project builders, and anyone who's staring at a 47-item to-do list at 11pm wondering how to ship one thing this week. Works best for people comfortable copy-pasting a prompt into Claude or ChatGPT — no engineering required.

No. If you can open a browser and paste text, you can run every workflow in the Solo AI Workflow Pack. We don't teach model theory; we teach the patterns that reliably save you time.

Two things. First: the workflows have been run — not theorized. If we haven't personally used a prompt to save hours, it doesn't go in. Second: the characters. HAL, Cypher, Pixel, and Derek give the content a shape that isn't just another listicle. You'll remember the rooster.

15 pages. 12 workflows organized into 3 tracks (OpenClaw, Agile, Business AI). Each workflow has: when to run it, a copy-paste prompt, numbered steps, and the expected outcome. It's designed to be read cover-to-cover in ~20 minutes or skimmed for the one workflow that solves today's problem.

Because the paid tier (The Coop) is where the actual community lives, and the easiest way to find out if you'd like it is to read the free thing first. If the Playbook saves you an hour, the Coop is an obvious next step. If it doesn't, you owe us nothing.

Yes, forward it to one person. If you want to share it broadly or post it somewhere, email hello@aiguidetobusiness.com first — we'll almost certainly say yes and send you a co-branded version.

Everything, one tier: full Skool classroom (every short, every workflow, forever), a weekly live standup with Derek (recorded for async), a monthly sprint-review workshop, priority async (Derek replies within 1 business day), a growing prompt library, and a quiet community Q&A. No hustle-bro energy, no "DM me for the secret" marketing.

$27 is the founding rate. $47 is the regular rate the Coop settles at. Founding members keep their rate forever — we don't do bait-and-switch pricing.

Skool. It's clean, has a classroom built in, and doesn't have Discord's server-channel maze. Cancel any time from Skool directly.

Members can purchase a 1-on-1 session with Derek as a paid add-on (capacity-gated, sold separately from the membership). Email hello@aiguidetobusiness.com after you join to check availability.

Yes. One click in Skool. Access continues until the end of the billing period. No prorated refunds, no guilt-trip emails.

It goes into our private list (Resend, used only for delivering your emails) and nowhere else. We don't sell it, rent it, or share it. See the Privacy Policy for the full breakdown.

The website and the Playbook are written by Derek with Claude as a drafting partner — the way most writing happens now. The voices and opinions are Derek's. When AI fully writes a thing (like a generated video script or an automated email), we'll say so.

No. It's educational content. If you run a workflow and it costs you money or lands you in a legal thing, that's on you. See the Terms for the long version.

Because roosters run mornings and standups are mornings, and HAL 9000 jokes never go out of style. More on the characters on the Heroess page.

Heroes plus an extra s because half the flock is hens. It's a brand decision. It sticks in your head, which is the point.

Not hiring, open to partnering, always yes to coffee. Email hello@aiguidetobusiness.com — Derek reads every one.
