Welcome to AI Maker 🧠
You have been using AI. You know it is useful. But Monday morning, you may still be opening a blank chat, explaining the task again, and carrying the answer into the rest of your work yourself.
You’re still the middleman between AI and your work.
But recently, AI has begun to work differently.
Claude Code, Claude Cowork, ChatGPT Work, and Codex can work across files, use tools, and carry a task through several steps while you review the important decisions.
I’m Wyndo. I grew The AI Maker to 23,000+ subscribers in a year, making it a Top 50 Technology newsletter on Substack. I’ve published 100+ deep-dive guides on turning AI into systems that actually change how you work — not just tools you forget to open.
But here’s what matters more than the numbers: I build every system I write about. If I can’t show you exactly how it fits into a real workflow, I don’t publish it.
The real challenge with AI agents
Access to agents is getting easier. But, making one useful for your work still requires more than choosing Claude or ChatGPT.
Because, you need to decide:
What job should the agent handle?
What information should it read?
What instructions should it follow?
What does a good result look like?
How should it use your corrections?
Those questions matter whether you use Claude Code, Cowork, ChatGPT Work, Codex, or another agent.
Each agent has its own setup. But, the underlying method carries across them: real source material, clear instructions, repeatable processes, useful tools, quality checks, and corrections.
That is what AI Maker helps you build.
