Reasons I don’t publish: 1. The use case is hype not helpful (by far the top reason) 2. It’s too niche 3. It’s too advanced. 4. It works, but only 50% of the time (these I save for future publishing when the tech catches up)

You know that moment when you vibe code something beautiful… and then hit a wall trying to make it functional? I’ve been there. New tutorial drops tomorrow: How to add auth, billing, and gated content to your Lovable site in just 15 min using @outseta.com

You know those perfect Instagram travel photos that give you FOMO? That’s what building with AI is right now. From the outside, you see one beautiful moment in time. If you were actually there you remember the reality of it being blazing hot and full of bugs.

Meetings should be reserved for when speed or relationship-building are the primary goal. Not information sharing. The teams that get this right thrive in remote work and AI adoption. The teams that get this wrong run in circles then wonder why they’re not getting anywhere.

I'll walk you through 4 easy recipes: ✅ Go from Idea to Prototype with Bolt/V0 ✅ Log Team Decisions from Slack to Notion with One Emoji using Zapier ✅ Build a Personal Health Coach with ChatGPT + a surprise recipe

It’s one of those weeks where it’s hard to choose just one new AI feature to do an Idea Kitchen recipe on. Currently testing five different use cases. Let’s see which one wins for the Tuesday publish 👀

Tinkered with Zapier’s new AI Agents feature last week and built a decision logging bot. You just react to any Slack thread with the 🏁 emoji. The Agent grabs the messages, summarizes the decision/context, and files a clean entry in your Notion Decision Log. Saves a bunch of back and forth later.

Here are the stats behind the milestone: • Started in March • 106 AI use cases tested • Leading to 18 articles (16 AI recipes, 2 ‘AI at Work’ profiles) • And 4 ‘Cooking with AI (Live!)’ events to demo the recipes • 50% open rate (unheard of for an AI newsletter)

New AI recipe drops tomorrow! 🍳 Sharing exactly how to create an AI agent to turn messy Slack threads into instant Notion docs—no scrolling, no copy/paste. Perfect for sprint reviews, product decisions, and fast-moving remote teams. Subscribe here so you don’t miss it: ideakitchen.substack.com

2. Most never had a typical job and this tends to be both the best/worst part of their business ops 3. There really isn’t any special quality. There’s potential for anyone to be a successful creator.

New AI at Work feature drops tomorrow! 👀 This time, we're sharing how a PM uses AI to go from voice note ➝ prototype ➝ shipped feature. Get the exact tools, steps, and prompts behind the scenes. Going live tomorrow. Subscribe to Idea Kitchen so you don't miss it: ideakitchen.substack.com

Started the Idea Kitchen newsletter (simple "recipes" for using AI) back in March. Here are all the AI features we've covered since then: Google • NotebookLM Mind Maps • NotebookLM Discover Sources • Gemini Gems • Gemini Connections Perplexity • Shop Like a Pro

Played around with Gemini connections last week and found it to be fantastic for quickly adding events from an image. You just drop in a screenshot, flyer, or PDF. It spins up a GCal event with all the details filled. Great for paper calendars from your fitness classes or your child's camp!
