Most founders I talk to are still hiring for roles that AI replaced 12 months ago.

• A content manager
• A VA
• A junior dev
• A designer
• An ops person

That’s **$30k/month minimum** — for work that now runs on a **$200 stack**.

I’m not saying this to flex.
I’m saying this because I’ve been operating solo for months and the output hasn’t dropped.
It’s gone up.
Here’s every tool doing the heavy lifting 👇
―
**Notion — The brain**
Every SOP, client, lead, and decision in one place. Notion AI searches all of it instantly. Nothing lives in my head. Everything lives here.

**Claude Code — The engineer**
My clients think I have a dev team. I have Claude Code. Next.js, Supabase, full dashboards built and shipped overnight. While I sleep.

**Claude — The strategist**
My clients pay for my thinking. Claude is where that thinking happens. Proposals, sprints, contracts — all run through here first.

**Gemini — The researcher**
Two AIs on the team. Claude thinks. Gemini reads everything. Long documents, competitive analysis, deep context — that’s Gemini’s job.

**Supabase — The spine**
My clients each think they have a custom backend. They share one. Auth, database, storage across every build.

**Apify — The scraper**
The internet is public. Most people browse it. I harvest it. Leads, competitors, rankings — fully automated.

**Remotion — The video engine**
While you edited one video, my pipeline shipped 100. One template, one data source, zero manual work.

**Scribe — The doc machine**
My business runs on SOPs I didn’t write. Screen record once, polished SOP out. Every system compounds.

**Wispr Flow — The dictation layer**
150 words a minute into any tool. I talked my way through my entire workday. You typed yours.

**Instagram + ManyChat — The funnel**
I woke up to 12 booked calls this morning. I was asleep when they scheduled.

The trick isn’t the tools.
Everyone reading this has access to the exact same stack.
The trick is **context**.
Every tool I run plugs into the same documented brain.
No handholding.
No rebriefing.
No explaining who the client is or what the SOP says.
The system already knows.
**Ship. Test. Ship again.**
Hire people when you’ve maxed out leverage.
Not before.

If you’re building solo in 2025 and you’re not running a stack like this, you’re leaving serious leverage on the table.

Curious what tools my network is actually using.

Most entrepreneurs use AI wrong.

They open Claude.
Type a random prompt.
Get a generic answer.
Then assume AI is overhyped.
The tool is not the problem.

The workflow is.

I put together 59 Claude prompts I wish I had when I started:

Emails
Research
Productivity
Finance
Decision-making
Business ideas
