How We Use AI to Run Our Businesses With Skills, Agents & MCPs (Ep. 81)
To run a solo business on AI, build a system of small skills and agents that handle the admin, comms, and ops so your time goes to creating.
Drew walks through 37 hand-built skills and a 21-layer system for writing in his own voice. Rory runs his whole business out of Notion and Claude, down to finding an online fax machine for New York State. Neither of them can remember what half their own skills do. That's kind of the point.
This episode covers building an AI operating system for a one-person business. Topics include Claude skills and agents, a voice system for writing, email and call ingestion, Notion as a CRM, red-teaming contracts and MSAs, predicting LinkedIn reach, Nano Banana prompt engineering, and handling taxes, invoices, and vendor forms. Fable and Astra model releases open the show.

Turn repeated work into reusable AI systems with shared context, so the next task starts with what the last task already learned. The second layer is orchestration. Once enough useful skills exist, another system needs to know which ones to call and when. What recurring task in your work are you still solving from scratch every week?

Such a great episode guys! Rory, love your skills hub example. This is a great solution for teams that need to understand what's available/already built for their specific use cases.

Thanks guys, another great episode with lots of value! Wondering - would you ever look at creating a paid skool community or similar, where you would go more in depth in specific topics? I’d happily pay for something like that :)

Hope this helps! It's a video about Tasklet AI made by "The Next New Thing." It shows how this browser-based tool handles email automation and posting based on your specific instructions.
