No Demos. No Hype. No Bullshit.
Bad tooling decisions compound fast.This newsletter exists to help you avoid expensive mistakes, and apply AI only where it creates real leverage.
Written by someone who has had to make AI work under uptime SLAs, compliance constraints, and real P&Ls; not hypotheticals.
Lessons from AI and SaaS systems used to scale real businesses into nine-figure revenue, shared without fluff or BS.
Insights pulled from over a decade of shipping AI in production, not experimenting in demos.
Breakdowns of automations that actually cut costs and survived real operational pressure.
What You’ll Actually Get (That Others Won’t Give You)
- Enterprise-grade prompts designed for real workflows, not chat demos
- AI automation patterns that plug into existing systems (CRM, BI, ops, support)
- Frameworks to stress-test AI claims before you waste time or money
- Breakdowns of why popular tools fail at scale (and what replaces them)
- Operator-level guidance on when not to use AI — and why that matters
- Unfiltered takes on the absolute insanity and overpromising happening across the AI industry
No vendor kickbacks. No launch hype. Just real feedback from real builders of tools.
Why This Newsletter Is Different
Most AI newsletters are written by:
- Tool aggregators
- Consultants who’ve never owned production systems
- Influencers optimizing for clicks, not outcomes
This one is written by someone who has had to answer questions like:
- “Why did this automation break at scale?”
- “Why did this AI cost triple what we forecasted?”
- “Why did security kill this rollout?”
- “Why isn’t this moving revenue?”
If you’re responsible for results, not vibes, this newsletter is for you.
