## Most founders spend weeks on what AI can do in a weekend.

Market research. Competitive analysis. Pricing. Copy. Landing page. Email sequences. Launch plan.

Each of those used to be a separate sprint. Now they’re a Saturday afternoon — if you know how to direct the AI.

This playbook shows you exactly how. Not theory. Not prompts you’ll never use. A step-by-step walkthrough of launching a real product using 24 open-source AI skills I built and use in my own business.

## What’s Inside

### Friday Night: Validate

Use AI to research your market, size the opportunity, and map the competitive landscape — in under 2 hours instead of 2 weeks.

### Saturday Morning: Build the Offer

Structure an irresistible offer with value stacking, pricing psychology, and a guarantee framework that makes saying “no” feel irrational.

### Saturday Afternoon: Ship the Page

Generate a high-converting landing page with copy that sells — hero section, social proof, FAQ, and CTA — all from a single AI session.

### Saturday Evening: Wire the Emails

Set up a complete email system: welcome sequence, launch campaign, and follow-up flows — written, structured, and ready to load into your ESP.

### Sunday: Launch

Create platform-native social content and ad copy. Twitter threads, LinkedIn posts, Instagram captions, and Meta ad variants — all from one brief.

### Monday: Measure

Analyze your unit economics, calculate break-even, and use decision frameworks to figure out what’s working and what to double down on.

## Who This Is For

- **Founders who use (or want to use) AI coding tools** — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or similar
- **Solo operators who wear every hat** — and need to move faster without hiring
- **Technical founders who hate marketing** — but know they need it
- **Non-technical founders who want leverage** — AI skills that work without writing code
- **Anyone launching something new** — side project, MVP, product, or service

### Matt Warren

Founder. Engineer. AI-first operator.

I’m the co-founder of Psychedelic Water and I run my business with AI every day — not as a consultant telling other people what to do, but as a founder actually doing it.

These 24 skills are the ones I built for myself. The playbook is how I chain them together. I’m sharing both because the founders who figure out AI-assisted work first are going to have an unfair advantage for years.

The founders who learn to direct AI will outpace those who don’t.*
