The Whole Company, In Five Tabs

Research, branding, product, payments, distribution — the jobs that used to need a founding team now fit into five AI tools. One person, five tabs, a real startup.


The Five-Tool Stack

Perplexity handles research: live market data, competitor moves, and demand validation with sources. Claude handles brand and strategy: naming, positioning, go-to-market, and copy. Greta builds the actual product — accounts, database, core features, and Stripe billing from a single prompt. Stripe takes the money. Instagram grows the audience, free.


What's in the Guide

Each tool comes with exactly what it does in the stack, the prompt or play to run with it, and how the five connect into one pipeline: research → brand → build → charge → grow.
