Happy Saturday everyone, here’s something new for this weekend!

Has anyone found a good workaround for getting Gemini to remember your preferences across all chats when you have a Google Workspace account? I'm a solo business owner and use Gemini for a variety of tasks, but I find myself having to repeat the same information in every new chat, such as my writing style, formatting preferences, business information, brand voice, and other recurring instructions. I've experimented with Gems, but they seem limiting because I have different Gems for different purposes. If I need the functionality of multiple Gems in one conversation, there doesn't seem to be a way to combine them, so I end up repeating information anyway. Has anyone come up with a workflow that solves this? If not, maybe I should l use a different AI platform? I was using ChatGPT but did not like it. Thank you!

There's a guy on Reddit making a full-time living fixing vibe-coded apps. But the most interesting thing he said wasn't about the founders hiring him. It was this: "About 70% of what I end up fixing is stuff the founder could have checked themselves in an afternoon." That line stuck with me. Because it means the rescue business isn't booming because building with AI is too hard. It's booming because nobody told founders what to check before they shipped. And I see this every week. People are shipping real products. Apps they described in plain English. Apps they prompted into existence. Apps with paying customers. Honestly, I love that. That is the promise of this whole moment. But there is a quiet gap between: "It works on my screen." and "This is safe to put in front of customers." That gap is exactly where the rescue invoices come from. The good news? That gap is checkable. You do not need to become an engineer to close it. You just need a short checklist you run every single time before you deploy. Here are the four things that break most often and how to fix them: https://open.substack.com/pub/thisaitooldoesthat/p/the-vibe-coding-rescue-economy-exists?r=7rf2o6&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Most businesses are paying for the same workflow five times. Not five different problems. The same problem. A lead comes in. One tool captures it. Another schedules the call. Another sends reminders. Another creates the invoice. Another tracks the customer. And somehow none of them talk to each other. So someone on the team becomes responsible for stitching the whole thing together. Checking inboxes. Updating records. Moving information between tabs. Sending reminders. Following up manually. Making sure nothing falls through the cracks. Eventually, one person becomes the integration layer for the entire business. Usually the owner. Sometimes an admin. Always the bottleneck. Because the real cost of software isn't the subscription. It's the invisible work created between subscriptions. The context switching. The duplicate data entry. The dropped handoffs. The opportunities that disappear somewhere between "someone should follow up" and "someone thought someone else did." This is why most of my AI work starts with a much less exciting question than: "Which AI tools should we use?" Instead I ask: "What should happen automatically the moment this happens?" Lead submitted. Proposal sent. Meeting booked. Invoice paid. Customer onboarded. Most service businesses already own the software they need. What they're missing is the conversation between the software they already pay for. And ironically, getting your tools to talk to each other is often cheaper than buying another one. I'm not anti-SaaS. I pay for plenty of subscriptions myself. But I think we've trained business owners to solve operational friction with another app. Sometimes the answer isn't another subscription. Sometimes it's introducing the subscriptions you already have to each other. What's the most frustrating manual handoff in your business right now?
