🍳 The AI Kitchen Framework: Prep, Cook, Serve™
"In cooking, as in life, preparation is everything." — Julia Child
AI isn’t just about getting answers—it’s about building systems that do the work for you.
🔥 Prep: Organizing, structuring, and automating before work even begins.
🔥 Cook: Using AI to execute, refine, and optimize in real time.
🔥 Serve: Packaging, publishing, and monetizing your knowledge so it works for you, not the other way around.
Most people jump straight to Cook, experimenting with ChatGPT prompts.
But the real efficiency and monetization come from Prep & Serve. That’s where AI-powered workflow stacking changes the game.
🔪 The 5 Essential AI Tools That Save Me 5-20 Hours a Week
Just like a chef has knives, pans, and fire, an AI-powered entrepreneur needs the right tools.
🔥 1. ChatGPT (Custom GPTs & RAG Files) – Automating writing, research, and ideation.
🔥 2. Claude (Artifacts & Deep Summaries) – Structuring knowledge bases and generating polished content.
🔥 3. Notion AI (The Digital Workspace) – Automating workflows, tracking progress, and managing data.
🔥 4. Fathom AI (AI-Powered Meeting Notes) – Capturing & summarizing key insights from calls.
🔥 5. Plaud AI (Wearable AI Note Recorder) – Hands-free, real-world note-taking that records thoughts while I’m walking, brainstorming, or moving.
📌 Why do I use both Fathom & Plaud?
✅ Fathom is for structured meetings.
✅ Plaud is for capturing on-the-go ideas—walking, brainstorming, or client calls.
