§ Recipe
A newsletter is a discipline, not a product. The tools are just there to remove the 20% of friction that causes you to skip a week. Which is how newsletters die.
Outline partner
Anthropic's long-context assistant for writing, coding, analysis, and careful reasoning.
Turn a half-formed idea into a structured draft in 10 minutes. Claude is better than any generation tool at preserving your voice if you give it three prior issues as samples.
Research engine
Every newsletter is 60% synthesis of what's out there plus 40% your take. Perplexity accelerates the synthesis so you spend the hour on the take.
Edit pass
AI writing assistant for grammar, clarity, rewriting, tone, and business communication.
You write the newsletter after dinner, tired. Grammarly catches the typos that make a reader unsubscribe. Worth it for that alone.
Header art
AI image generator especially strong at legible text, logos, posters, and design graphics.
One custom illustration per issue, generated in 30 seconds. Turns a newsletter from 'text in an email' into something that looks like a publication.
Social distribution
AI clipping platform that turns long videos into short-form social clips.
Newsletter gets turned into short-form clips for LinkedIn, Twitter, and TikTok automatically. One long-form → five short-form. That's the leverage play.
