How We Use AI to Run Our Businesses With Skills, Agents & MCPs

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.---Two founders who swore AI would give them their time back open the hood on what they actually run. 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.
