Week 1 launch update.
What is done: guide shipped, first customers served, feedback collected.
What is not done: the next iteration.
This is normal. You ship the scaffolding before the house. Sharing it anyway because watching something get built is the whole point.
Back next week with more.
#BuildInPublic #GideonCo
Progressive disclosure: show people what they need right now, not everything that exists.
It is how good software works. It is also how good teaching works.
The mistake most AI guides make is handing you 47 steps on day one. That is not helpful. That is a threat.
Start with one. Then one more.
If a skill file hits 500 lines, I split it.
That is it. That is the rule.
When instructions get long, the agent starts forgetting the top by the time it reaches the bottom. Short = focused. Focused = reliable. I would rather have 3 small skills that work than 1 massive one that does not.
#BuildInPublic #AIAgents
Built 40+ AI agent skills in the last 90 days. The one thing that breaks them every time:
Trying to do too much in one skill.
Scope creep slows down agents the same way it slows down software projects. One job. One skill. Clean handoff. That is the pattern that actually runs.
#BuildInPublic #AIAgents
It is here.
The plain-English guide to using AI in your small business. No jargon. No tech background required. Just practical ways to put AI to work in the day-to-day.
If you have wanted a simpler, clearer way to start, this was built for you.

#GideonCo #AIForNormies
The businesses getting value from AI usually start in a simple place.
They choose one repeat task that keeps stealing their time and let AI help with that first.
Not ten tasks. One.
Start small. Learn what works. Build from there.

#GideonCo #AIForNormies
Most AI tools are built for people who already live in the AI world.
That's not most business owners.
Gideon Co exists for the person who opened ChatGPT, saw a wall of possibilities, and thought, "I need a simpler way in."
April 7. More soon.

Gideon Co exists for the business owner who opened ChatGPT twice, felt dumb, and closed it. You're not dumb. You just needed a different door.
Building that door in public.
Tomorrow.
13 chapters. 25 templates. 50 prompts. One goal: make AI useful for normal business owners.
No jargon. No PhD required. No "just fine-tune your embeddings."
$29. Available 9 AM Mountain Time.

3 days.
One thing I learned building 40+ AI skills: the agent that does one job well beats the agent that does ten jobs badly.
Every. Single. Time.
That's the first lesson in the guide. And the one most people skip.

#BuildInPublic#AIAgents
AI should make running your business lighter, not heavier.
But for a lot of small business owners, it still feels like one more thing to figure out. Too many tools. Too many tabs. Not enough plain English.
We built something different.
April 7.
#BuildInPublic#AIForNormies
4 days.
Included in the launch: 25 ready-to-use prompt templates and 50 advanced prompts.
Not "write me a poem" prompts. Real ones. "Draft a follow-up email to the lead who went cold 6 months ago" type prompts.
Business tools, not party tricks.
#BuildInPublic
5 days out.
The guide is 13 chapters and 23,000 words. Every one written by an AI agent, reviewed by another AI agent, edited by a third.
Zero em dashes. Zero filler. Zero "just leverage your synergies."
Built for humans who hate that sentence.
