How a Seer Interactive Director Built Her Content Pipeline

On August 19, 2025, Christina Blake — Director, Product at the Philadelphia-based digital marketing agency Seer Interactive — published a post on her firm's insights blog with a deliberately blunt headline: AI Blogs Are Mostly Trash (Unless You Build One Like This). The piece doubles as a working document. Blake describes the exact six-agent system she used to write the post she is publishing, and sh...

A Solopreneur Built a "Second Brain"

That Sorts Voice Memos by Email Subject Line

The creator behind The AI Maker — a Substack publication that grew from zero to more than 9,700 subscribers and $30,000-plus in annual recurring revenue in eight months — built something most solo creators only describe.

A working second brain.

In a Substack post titled Building AI Second Brain: How I Turn Voice Memos Into Substack Notes and Business Ideas, the writer behind The AI Maker documented the exact ...

A Software Engineer Blogged Without Typing

ChatGPT Wrote 95% of It.

Kevin Jalbert wanted to publish a blog post without sitting down to write one. So he picked up his iPhone and started talking.

What came out the other end, by his own accounting, was a post that was roughly 95 percent composed by ChatGPT — with the remaining 5 percent reserved for "minor adjustments or clarifications" he made himself. The piece appeared on his personal site under the title Using ChatGPT and Whisper: A New A...

She Fired a $4,000-a-Month Content Team.

Two AI Tools Replaced Them

Carrie used to pay a content team $4,000 a month to help her run her newsletter. Now she pays for two AI subscriptions and gets the work done before lunch.

Writing on her Substack publication Thrive with Carrie, the six-figure solo newsletter operator detailed the workflow in a post titled My AI Newsletter Production Line (Under 60 Minutes). The headline number is the part that made it travel. The structure underneath it is...

An EC2 Instance, a Discord Channel, and a Pull Request

Inside Zack Proser's Two-Agent Blog Pipeline

On April 16, 2026, Zachary Proser — an applied-AI engineer at WorkOS, previously of Pinecone, Cloudflare, and Gruntwork — published a long, technical account of an AI assistant that ships his blog posts from end to end. The assistant is called Hermes. It runs in the cloud. He directs it through Discord on his phone. The output is production code on his Next.js portfolio site at zackproser.com.

Three Developers, Three Blogs, One Phone

The Quiet Arrival of Pocket Publishing

Between October 2025 and January 2026, three independent developers — working on separate stacks, in different cities, with no apparent coordination — published nearly identical accounts of the same workflow. Each had written and shipped blog posts to their personal sites using the Claude mobile app on iPhone. None had opened a laptop to do it.

The pattern is small but worth recording. It marks the first wave of p...

He Wrote 100 Blog Posts With AI

Here's What He Stopped Believing.

Thomas Smith has now written more than 100 blog posts with help from generative AI. He still types most of them with his thumbs.

Smith, the Medium curator for the platform's Artificial Intelligence topic and the founder of The Generator — a publication dedicated to generative AI news, tool reviews and experiments — has spent over a year running a one-man experiment most journalists are too polite to admit they're running. He'...

He Talks Into His Phone on Dog Walks

Then AI Writes the Blog

The hardest part of writing, Sam Edelstein decided, wasn't the writing. It was the staring.

The blank page. The blinking cursor. The half-formed idea that vanished the moment he sat down at a keyboard. So Edelstein, a data and analytics consultant who blogs on Medium about generative and agentic AI, stopped sitting down. He started walking.

Now he opens the Voice Recorder app on his Pixel — or his iPhone, depending on the week — ...

The Three Prompts Quietly Separating Claude Power Users From Everyone Else

A new Medium guide from an Italian software scientist makes the case that three short instructions — not jailbreaks, not prompt hacks — are doing the actual work.

The line is fourteen words long. The Medium writer who publishes as Chris AI Studio drops it at the end of every Claude request:

"Ask me clarifying questions until you're 95% confident you can complete the task successfully."

That sentence, he argues, is...

Why Your Competitors' 5-Star Reviews Are Your Best SEO Asset

By Damon Nelson | Published May 2026 | Reading time: ~7 minutes

Originally inspired by Mohit Vaswani's piece on Medium (Apr 2026)

Barry Allen — the fastest man alive — can outrun anything. He could cross the city in four seconds. The world went blurry and quiet at that speed. He could be anywhere before the thought of going there had fully finished.

Speed, in his experience, solved most problems. If you could always be there firs...
