AI Stacks
Almost no real job is finished by one AI tool. It takes six to eight, chained — and the chain fails at the joins, not at the tools. Each guide below walks one job end to end: which tool does each stage, what file has to come out of it, what the month costs at the tiers people actually run, and the specific places the workflow falls apart on the first real attempt.
Faceless YouTube channel
VideoResearch → script → voiceover → visuals → edit → thumbnail → clips → publish. The stage that decides quality is voice, and the stage that breaks the workflow is the script-to-voice handoff.
One-person newsletter
Writing & marketingResearch → draft → edit → visuals → send → promote. Fully free up to 2,500 subscribers, and the stage everyone skips — promote — is the one that decides whether the list grows at all.
Ecommerce product launch
Ecommerce & marketingPositioning → imagery → ad creative → page copy → video → email flows → schedule. Seven stages prompted independently produce seven different promises; the positioning brief is what stops that.
How these differ from our other guides
- Alternatives pages help when you already use a tool and want out of it.
- Comparisons help when you're deciding between two named tools.
- Switch guides help once you've decided and need the migration mechanics.
- Stacks help when the problem isn't one tool at all — you have a job to finish and need to know what the whole chain looks like before you start paying for pieces of it.
