I Spent 20 Hours Building This For You (It's Free)


Hey Reader,

Two days ago my student messaged me.

He was almost angry...

"GPT-5 worked for 23 minutes and then said it doesn't understand!"

Oof. That's rough, and I know how this feels.

But that's when it hit me.

We're all prompting AI wrong. Everyone of us.

The $200,000 Mistake

Big tech pays prompt engineers $200k+/year.

Because they know what a difference of good prompts.

Imagine telling your GPS "go somewhere nice" instead of an actual address

One gets you lost. One gets you there.

So I did something crazy.

I Built You a Prompt Coach

I spent over 20 hours of my life on this.

Building something I should charge for. But won't.

It takes a lot of data into consideration:

  • OpenAI's GPT-5 best practices
  • Anthropic's secret sauce for Claude
  • My own battle-tested prompt principles

And turns them into 13 checks that grade your prompts instantly.

If you're hitting just 3 out of 13? Trash prompt.

But if your prompt hits 8 or 9?

Now you're cooking.

How It Works

  1. Go to the free tool (link below)
  2. Paste your prompt
  3. Enter your email (same one as this newsletter works)
  4. Wait 20-30 seconds

And just like that... a full breakdown of what's good, what sucks, and exactly how to fix it.

It even searches the web to understand what you're trying to build (hence the 20-30 sec).

... and it gives you a new prompt to try out!

See It In Action

I ran a real student's prompt through it.

Before: only passed 5/13 - yikes 😳

After: instantly 12/13 passes ✅

Why This Matters Now

With reasoning models like GPT-5 taking over, prompts are going to take a lot longer.

Bad prompts will cost you time, money, and frustration, like my students learned.

This AI Prompt Coach fixes that. Today.

It teaches you the best principles for good prompts.

For free. No catch. No upsell.

Just me helping you build better with AI.

Because when you win, I win.

Hey Reader, Nobody wants to say this out loud, so I will. The "free AI tools are good enough" era is ending. And if you've been waiting for the perfect cheap tool before you start building your idea... the window is closing faster than you think. What I Found Last Week I tested Kimi K2.5, one of the most hyped "free" AI models right now. Won't lie to you, it's actually decent. The closest to Claude of all Chinese models. But here's the thing nobody is talking about: The gap between free AI...

Hey Reader, Just made it to Thailand, and while drinking my first coconut... 🥥 I saw someone on X asking how to set up AI coding tools for non-technical people. Funny enough, I currently teach my wife how to build her first app without writing any code. And this simple trick helped her do it. One simple paragraph. That's it. My wife Diana testing her iOS app on her iPhone 17 Pro Max The Simple Trick I keep telling my Blueprint students ALL the time to use this. It just works so well that I...

Hey Reader, It's been two months since I updated the list, so let's quickly take a look at what's new. A little context: it has been significantly simplified. I really only use GPT-5.3 Codex High and Extra High (Fast if in Cursor) for almost everything. It requires you to be a little more aware of your prompting and your goals, and to ask the right questions. But it is the smartest AI model, and it is not even close. There's a huge shift in the industry right now, with people switching away...
