Playbooks by AI Advantage vs Playbooks by Rachel: disambiguation

I’m learning from both The AI Advantage and Rachel Woods, and I’ve noticed that the term “Playbook” is used quite differently in each context.

In the AI Amplifier Club, playbooks are guides FOR YOU, designed to help you try out various prompts.

For example, the Meal Planning Playbook is essentially a guide on what to tell your AI in order to get whatever recipe you want. Each time you ask for a new recipe, you use a different prompt, and the format of the response can vary.

In Rachel Woods’ framework, playbooks are procedural instructions FOR AI SETUP, designed for repeatable workflows and consistent, pre-formatted results.

For instance, a playbook for turning messy notes into a structured report contains the step-by-step instructions for configuring a customGPT to handle this process automatically. Once set up, all you need to do is upload your notes and say “Go” — the AI already knows what to do and how to format the output.

These playbooks can also be used for agentic workflows, where every step is clearly defined, repeatable, and produces a predictable, standardised result.

Hope this helps.
