New Capability Tools

Practical tools for doing better work with AI.

This is a growing library of tools I’ve built or refined while using AI in my own work.

Each one is designed to help you move faster, raise the quality of your output, or unlock something you couldn’t do before—without needing to become an AI expert or rewire how you work.

These aren’t generic prompts or novelty demos. They’re purpose-built resources meant to be used, adapted, and revisited as your work evolves.

What you’ll find here

Practical

Built around real work, not theory or hype.

Focused

Designed to solve a specific problem or unlock a clear capability.

Self-serve

Easy to understand, quick to try, and flexible enough to adapt to your own workflows.

Many tools connect directly to ideas from the newsletter, so you can go from reading → applying → improving without friction.

This library grows every week

New tools are added regularly as part of the New Capability newsletter. Sometimes that means:

  • A small utility that removes friction from a common task
  • A repeatable workflow I keep coming back to
  • A focused “starter” for exploring a new capability with AI

Over time, this becomes a working toolkit you can rely on—not a static list you skim once and forget.

Built for curious, hands-on professionals

These tools are for people who:

  • Learn best by doing
  • Care about quality, leverage, and long-term relevance
  • Want AI to feel like a natural part of their job, not a separate hobby

You don’t need to be technical. You do need to be curious.
