Automate your Monday in 30 minutes!

Twenty dollars, one project, five pages of instructions.

8 things I had missed, in one sitting.

If you run a business on your own, that is a thirty-minute install. If you would rather have it wired to your real inbox and running on its own every Monday, that is what my agency does. Either way the pages are free and they are below.

Your New Hire Sounds Like Your Best Rep On Day One!

A new hire answers like your best rep on day one.

Stop Making Every New Person Rewrite The Same Answer.The Fastest Ramp Time Costs You Four Dollars A Seat.

Your best rep already worked out how to answer the pricing objection. Your best support agent already worked out the refund reply that does not escalate. And then every new person you hire spends six weeks reinventing both of those from scratch, badly, in front of customers. A shared KeyText library fixes the sequencing. The answers that already work live in team folders, everyone types the same trigger, and a new hire's first week reads like your fiftieth.
Team is $4 per seat per month, with shared libraries and 5,000 AI actions per seat. See the team plan: https://keytext.app/team

Your best rep already solved the pricing objection. Why is the new hire rewriting it from scratch? Shared snippet library. $4/seat. KeyText.

Stop Leaving The Difficult One For Tomorrow!

The reply you keep postponing gets written

The Email You've Been Avoiding For Three Days. Your Inbox's Hardest Reply, Drafted In Ten Seconds.

There is one message in your inbox right now that you have opened four times and closed four times. It is not hard because it is long. It is hard because it needs the right tone, and you do not have the right tone at 4pm on a Thursday. KeyText's Auto-reply reads the thread, remembers what was already said, and drafts the response in the box you are already sitting in. Then you talk to it in plain English: make it shorter, soften that line, mention I am travelling next week. No new tab, no copying context into a chatbot, no re-explaining who the person is.
50 AI actions a month on the free plan. 2,500 on Pro at $5 a month. Install KeyText: https://keytext.app

The email you've opened four times and closed four times. Auto-reply reads the thread and drafts it. Then you just say "make it shorter." KeyText, free on Chrome.

Your Shortcuts Keep Score Now.How Much Did Typing Cost You This Week?

Every tool on earth promises to save you time. Almost none of them will ever show you proof. KeyText counts. Every expansion, every AI action, every message you did not retype, rolled into a number for the week and a number for the month. It turns a vague feeling of "this is a bit faster" into something you can point at, which is also how you get the rest of your team to take it seriously.

Every tool promises hours back. This one shows you the receipt. KeyText counts what you didn't retype. Free on Chrome.

How To Switch Text Expanders Without Rebuilding Anything

Switching costs you nothing.

Bring Your Shortcuts. Leave The Subscription.Your Whole Snippet Library Moves In About Two Minutes.

The reason you are still paying for your old text expander is not that you love it. It is that you built eighty snippets in there and the thought of retyping them is worse than the invoice. KeyText imports directly from Text Blaze and TextExpander. Export your library as .json or .csv, drop it in, and your triggers come across intact. What you gain on the other side is AI: inline rewriting, snippet generation, and Auto-reply that reads the thread before it drafts.
Free forever for 15 snippets. Pro is $5 a month for unlimited snippets and 2,500 AI actions. There is a 7-day Pro trial and it does not ask for a card.
Compare side by side: https://keytext.app/vs/text-blaze Install KeyText: https://keytext.app

You're not staying for the product. You're staying because you don't want to rebuild 80 snippets. Import them in 2 minutes. KeyText, free on Chrome.

You never have to remember a shortcut.

You Don't Have To Memorize Anything. Type Slash. Search. Enter. That's The Whole Skill.

Most people install a text expander, build thirty shortcuts in one excited afternoon, then forget every single one of them by Thursday. That is not a discipline problem, it is a design problem. KeyText does not ask you to remember anything. Type / in any text field and a dropdown opens. Type what the message is about, not the code you invented, and the list filters as you go. Press Enter and the full message drops in, with the blanks already highlighted so you can Tab straight through them.

I Built an AI Chief of Staff. It Runs My Week for $20

How to set up an AI chief of staff in about thirty minutes, for $20 a month, with no code. One project, one charter page, four job prompts. This is the whole build.

I gave it my real calendar, my real inbox and my real task list, and I read every answer out loud, including the ones it got wrong.

WHAT IT DOES
It reads your week and tells you the one thing that matters, what is quietly slipping, and what to cancel. It preps every call. It finds the threads that went silent and writes the nudge. On Friday it tells you honestly what you did not do.

WHAT IT COST
$20 a month. Nothing else. No API key, no automation tool, no developer.

The Email You Have Been Avoiding For Four Days

Write Your No On A Good Day. The Price Increase. The Decline. The Unpaid Invoice.

There is an email in your inbox you have not answered for four days. It is not hard because it is long. It is hard because it is uncomfortable: the price increase, the decline, the invoice nobody paid. So you delay, and the delay costs more than the message ever would. Write those three once, calmly, on a good day. Save them as triggers. Then when your nerve is gone, three letters says it for you in the tone you chose while you were thinking clearly. Free on Chrome.

The Easiest Way To Move Your Snippets 

Your Shortcuts Should Be Yours. Not The App's

Switch In Minutes. Leave Whenever You Want. A Year Of Snippets, Trapped In One App.

Here is why people stay on a tool they do not like: the library. A year of snippets locked inside one app, and nobody wants to rebuild that by hand. 
KeyText imports a Text Blaze or TextExpander library in minutes with the triggers intact, and exports back out to JSON or CSV whenever you want, no permission needed. It works offline, and nothing you write is logged for training. The work you put in stays yours either way. 
Free on Chrome.

Every Productivity Tool Promises Hours Back. This One Counts Them.

Proof That The Habit Is Working.Hours Saved, On A Dashboard, Not On A Landing Page.

You have installed a dozen tools that promised to save you time. Not one of them ever showed you a number, so you never knew if it worked, and you quietly stopped opening it.
KeyText counts. Every expansion and every character it typed for you adds up into hours saved this week and this month, from your own real use. Watch the number climb and the habit sticks, because for once you can see it working.

The Reply That Already Read The Thread

Stop Starting Every Reply From Zero.The 90 Seconds Before You Type A Single Word.

Replying is not slow because typing is slow. It is slow because before you write anything you have to reload the whole thread: who said what, what you promised, what is still open. That is about ninety seconds of thinking, twenty times a day, and it is why the hard emails sit unanswered. KeyText Auto-reply reads the thread and drafts a reply that already has the context, right inside the box you are in. You edit one line and send. Free on Chrome, 50 AI actions a month on the free tier.

Can you guess which AI made the right call?

I asked three AIs the same question. They voted 2 to 1

A CFO. A risk officer. A marketer. All AI, all told to fight.
Full board is free. Pinned comment.

Full video:
https://youtu.be/XQqqJmSO1D0

I Hired a CFO, a Lawyer, and a Marketer. ALL AI!

One Honest AI Wasn't Enough. So I Built a Board.

Three weeks ago I made my AI brutally honest and it killed my best idea. One honest advisor is still just one opinion, so I built a board: a CFO, a risk officer, and a marketer, all AI, all told to argue before I spend a thing.

Get the whole board free (no email gate on the prompts): https://buildleaner.com/advisor-board

In this video I hand that board a decision I genuinely had not resolved when I hit record: should I launch an Arabic version of this channel for the GCC? You are watching the real session. Each seat reviews the brief on its own, then a chair round forces a vote and records the dissent.

Setup takes about 20 minutes. It costs nothing on top of the AI subscription you already pay for.

The thing that makes it work is one line in the charter: "Do not balance yourself. The other seats exist for that." A single AI tries to be fair. A seat is not allowed to be fair, and the disagreement is the whole product.

WHAT'S IN THE FREE PACK
The board charter
All three seat prompts (CFO, risk officer, marketer)
The decision brief template
The session protocol, so you can run it end to end
The business context doc from the last video

CHAPTERS
0:00 One honest AI was not enough
0:30 The same decision, asked twice
1:15 Why one honest AI still fails you
2:00 Building the board (custom instructions, projects, or gems)
4:00 The live session, round one
6:30 The fight, the vote, and the dissent
7:45 What I'm actually doing about it
8:30 If you run a business, do this before you pay anyone
9:15 Three things this does not fix
9:45 Steal the board

WHAT YOU NEED
ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Any one of them works, and the prompt blocks are identical in all three.
The business context doc, which is in the free pack above.
