How I Build
with AI
Real prompts. Clear steps. Something useful at the end.
Come behind the scenes of the way I approach websites, courses and income experiments. Choose a project, follow a worked example, and learn how to direct and review an AI team.

What would you like to make?
Each guide takes one example all the way through. Start with the project that would make the biggest practical difference for you this week.
Guide 02 · 6 illustrated steps
Create a course
Leave with one complete lesson: an observable objective, a worked example, a learner worksheet, a review rubric, and a plan to test the lesson with suitable learners.

Guide 03 · 6 illustrated steps
Test an income idea
Leave with one experiment card, a realistic sample, a bounded offer, a plan to reach relevant people, and a decision method that accounts for your time and costs.

The useful part is the work you keep.
A conversation can feel productive without leaving you closer to a finished project. In these guides, every step ends with a named output: a brief, a sample, a lesson, a working page, or a decision.
You will see what to give the assistant, an example of a useful result, and what to inspect before moving on. Carry your reviewed output into the next step so the project keeps its purpose.
Inside every guide
- A specific project and the starting materials you need.
- Six detailed steps, each with its own visual example.
- A prompt you can copy and adapt to your work.
- Review checks and help for common mistakes.
- A downloadable workbook and a practical assignment.
- A direct route to ask Ashley a question or explore working together.
Direct a small team
Give each role one clear job.
You can run these roles sequentially in one assistant. When the work is independent and your tools support delegation, specialist workers can help in parallel. The roles describe responsibilities; they are not a claim that every project uses separate autonomous agents.
01
You set the direction
Choose the audience, problem, limits and outcome. Decide what is good enough to use and which external actions are authorized.
02
A lead keeps the brief
Break the project into bounded tasks. Keep the approved facts and decisions together. Make sure each handoff reaches the next owner with enough context.
03
Specialists make the pieces
A researcher organizes evidence, a writer drafts content, a designer explains the journey, and a builder implements the reviewed version.
04
A reviewer checks the work
Compare the output with the brief and inspect the actual result. A new review pass can expose missing information, broken behavior or unsupported claims.
A handoff you can reuse
Pass the context.
Keep the decision.
“Make this better” leaves the next person to guess. A useful handoff says what exists, what needs to change, and how to check it.
For example, a writer hands the designer an approved page outline and sample. The designer returns a layout with unresolved questions. The builder receives the reviewed version, and the reviewer compares the implementation with the same brief.

- Input
- The approved brief, sources and prior output.
- Task
- One bounded piece of work and its exclusions.
- Deliverable
- A named file, draft, sample or usable version.
- Review
- Checks completed, evidence and open questions.
- Next owner
- Who acts next and what decision they need.
Start the conversation
Brief your lead assistant.
Use this to choose a sensible starting point. You can revise the brief as you learn; the goal is a clear first output you can judge.
Copy the prompt for this step
Replace the bracketed details with your own project. Review what the assistant returns.
Act as my project lead. I want to create [one website page / one practical lesson / one income experiment]. My audience is [who], my starting materials are [what exists], and my time and cash limits are [limits]. Help me define the smallest useful output and its acceptance checks. Separate facts from assumptions. Assign only the roles this task needs. Give each role clear inputs, a named deliverable, a review check and a next owner. Keep me involved in decisions about scope, sending, spending and publication. Start by drafting the brief; do not take external actions.
Your first focused session
Make progress you can see.
Choose one result
Pick one page, one complete lesson, or one experiment card. Write the audience and the job it should help them do. The guides include a worked example if you need a starting point.
Make the first artifact
Use the first step’s prompt with your own notes. Review the answer, resolve important unknowns, and save the accepted version before asking for the next piece.
Record the next decision
Note what exists, what you checked, what is still uncertain, and the next smallest action. A clear place to resume is part of a useful session.
Keep the economics honest.
Track setup, failed attempts, revisions and review time alongside the successful work. Record variable tool charges and allocate shared subscriptions consistently. Use your actual account prices.
A published page, a completed lesson and a paid pilot are different results. None alone proves repeatable income or a guaranteed productivity gain.
Use the workflow run log →Make learning easy to resume.
The guide checklists remember completed steps in this browser, without an account. You can clear them at any time. The illustrated PDF workbooks contain the complete prompts, worked examples, review checklists and space for your notes. Save them to annotate on screen or print the pages you need.
Keep sensitive client information out of prompts and public examples. Use fictional details or materials you have permission to share.

The prompts and examples are free learning material. These pages do not launch agents, send outreach, or connect to your accounts.
A question, a working session, or a bigger project
Let’s put this to work
on your project.
You do not need a perfect brief to get in touch. Tell me what you want to build, what you already have, and where you are stuck. We can explore a focused working session, training, or help moving the project forward.
Scope, availability and pricing are agreed before work is booked.
