Looking to partner with someone who wants distribution for this kind of thing. My newsletter, Idea Kitchen, already offers something like this for non-devs but I get asked for one for devs constantly. If there’s someone you think I should partner with, lmk

All recipes published are thoroughly tested and I only share the ones I’ve personally found useful. As always, they’re only as good as the prompt, resources provided, and use of common sense. I haven’t had any hallucination experiences with the email summary, but I recommend testing it yourself.

Reasons I don’t publish: 1. The use case is hype not helpful (by far the top reason) 2. It’s too niche 3. It’s too advanced. 4. It works, but only 50% of the time (these I save for future publishing when the tech catches up)

Meetings should be reserved for when speed or relationship-building are the primary goal. Not information sharing. The teams that get this right thrive in remote work and AI adoption. The teams that get this wrong run in circles then wonder why they’re not getting anywhere.

It’s one of those weeks where it’s hard to choose just one new AI feature to do an Idea Kitchen recipe on. Currently testing five different use cases. Let’s see which one wins for the Tuesday publish 👀

Marissa Goldberg @mar15sa.bsky.social · 05/08/2025

Tinkered with Zapier’s new AI Agents feature last week and built a decision logging bot. You just react to any Slack thread with the 🏁 emoji. The Agent grabs the messages, summarizes the decision/context, and files a clean entry in your Notion Decision Log. Saves a bunch of back and forth later.

• No ads, all word-of-mouth (with help from shoutouts from @neuranne.bsky.social and @lennysan.bsky.social) Thank you all!! Really cool to see something I started on a whim (because it was something I wanted but couldn't find), grow so fast 😊

Marissa Goldberg @mar15sa.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Here are the stats behind the milestone: • Started in March • 106 AI use cases tested • Leading to 18 articles (16 AI recipes, 2 ‘AI at Work’ profiles) • And 4 ‘Cooking with AI (Live!)’ events to demo the recipes • 50% open rate (unheard of for an AI newsletter)

2. Most never had a typical job and this tends to be both the best/worst part of their business ops 3. There really isn’t any special quality. There’s potential for anyone to be a successful creator.

Played around with Gemini connections last week and found it to be fantastic for quickly adding events from an image. You just drop in a screenshot, flyer, or PDF. It spins up a GCal event with all the details filled. Great for paper calendars from your fitness classes or your child's camp!

Marissa Goldberg @mar15sa.bsky.social · 17/07/2025

Yay! Glad you got the concept and agreed with the value. I think you're referring to the social preview. Substack generates it from the newsletter description (which shows up in places without the image). So I'll have to figure out if there's a way around that. Thanks for the feedback!

Them: “How’s your week going?” Me: “There are literal firenados in my area yet that’s like #5 on the list of things I’m stressed about this week”
