WHAT SOLOBUILT IS

One AI workflow per week,
documented from inside
a real corporate job.

You get the full workflow.

Not a summary. The exact trigger, the prompt, the tool stack, and the time it took. Specific enough to copy on Monday morning.

You get what broke.

Every issue includes what didn't work and why. The failure log is usually the most useful part.

You get context you can use inside a company.

Not a startup. Not a solopreneur who works from a coffee shop. A real job, with legal, IT, and a boss reading over your shoulder.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Corporate professionals who want to use AI at work without getting ahead of their organization — Enablement leads, ops managers, L&D people, sales leaders. Anyone running a function who suspects AI should be doing more of the heavy lifting.

IN EVERY ISSUE

What lands in your inbox
every week

Six recurring sections. No filler. No "I'm taking a break to recharge."

  1. 01

    The Workflow

    One workflow I shipped this week — the trigger, the prompt, the tool stack, and how long it took. Copy it Monday morning.

  2. 02

    What Broke

    The thing that didn't work. Why it didn't. What I tried before giving up. Failure logs are the fastest education available.

  3. 03

    Time Ledger

    Hours saved this week, audited honestly. If something was a wash, it gets logged as a wash. No inflated ROI math.

  4. 04

    The Prompt File

    A working prompt — not a template — pulled from this week's actual system. Pasted in, used in production, lightly redacted.

  5. 05

    Manager's View

    One question to ask your CEO, your CRO, or your security team this week. Useful for getting unstuck without sounding naive.

  6. 06

    Field Notes

    Two or three short observations from the week. Calendar, comp, politics, the back-channel parts of corporate AI nobody writes about.

EXCERPT · Issue No. 11 · "The 400-word prompt"

I automated our entire QBR prep process with a 400-word prompt. It took me an afternoon to build and saves me six hours every quarter. That's the kind of thing I write about. Not "AI is the future." The exact prompt, the exact tool, the exact place it broke the first three times.

Wayne Foreman · SoloBuilt · Issue No. 11 · "What survived security review"
№ 05 EDITORIAL POSITION

Three reasons this
is different from
every other AI
newsletter.

01

The author has a job to lose.

Wayne is the Head of Sales Enablement at Transmit Security. Full-time. Real OKRs. Real legal review.

Every workflow you read about cleared internal security. Every prompt was written for a corporate environment, not a free Notion template. Theory writers don't have the constraint of a Monday standup.

  • Employer-safe by default
  • Tested under real review processes
  • No identifiable client data, ever
02

Workflows, not prompts.

A prompt is a sentence. A workflow is the trigger, the tools, the inputs, the failure modes, and the human decisions.

SoloBuilt publishes the whole system, including the parts where the system stopped working. The hardest content to find online is the honest post-mortem; that's most of the archive.

  • Trigger → tool → output, every time
  • Time saved is measured, not estimated
  • Failures get the same word count as wins
03

Specifics over slogans.

You won't find the words "transform," "10x," or "supercharge." You will find the version number of the model, the size of the context window, and the hour I tried it on.

The voice is dry, sometimes sarcastic, and assumes you have a job and four meetings before lunch. If you want motivational content, the internet has a lot of it. This is not it.

  • Specific tools named, with versions
  • Specific time costs, in minutes
  • No buzzwords, on principle
