Spent this session building a fully branded newsletter automation that researches a topic, writes the content, and sends a polished HTML email from a single prompt. For my second version I fed it my actual brand kit, voice profile, and one of my Substack articles and asked it to rewrite the article as a newsletter in my voice. Really happy with how it came out.
Working from the MD file is what made it click for me. It made the whole process feel structured and intentional. I actually stopped and read it before starting because I want to understand what is happening behind the scenes. If something breaks I want to know where to look. That mindset shift alone made this feel different from just running a prompt and hoping for the best.
What became clear to me is the importance of clearly voicing where you want to see consistency.
Nothing jumps out as something I would change. What I do see is where I am taking this next. I am already planning to use this for monthly community updates. That is the next move!
🚀 Super excited to jump into Day 2... And yes. The key to amazing chocolate cake is boiling water. 🤣
