Appreciate you sharing your take, Jacob. In this case, I’m using AI to get more mileage out of articles I’ve already put serious time and effort into. My thinking is: if AI can do something as well as (or better than) me in less time, I’ll use it, so I can spend that time on more valuable or meaningful work. It’s about working smarter, not skipping the work.
Thanks for sharing your prompts. I definitely have been in that situation of having dozens of ideas when I talk to clients, but then blank screen when I sit down to come up with ideas for short form like Notes. One other way I'm exploring to get around this is dumping all the transcripts of my coaching calls into Google Notebook LM and then having it help surface my ideas and insights.
Just tested your prompt for generating 30 notes out of a post. This is really great, Luan! I write on similar topics, would love to connect and exchange ideas :)
Substack doesn’t support scheduling Notes yet, but I’ve built a app that works for me. It’s not quite polished enough to share publicly, but if there’s interest, I might open it later
There is a reason they don’t do that. The point about notes is it should generate interaction, real human connection. What you’re doing is not helping the cause, it’s destroying what Substack is supposed to do. If anyone struggles to write one sentence a day, then they don’t belong here.
ahhh okay, I thought that was the case as I've seen others take that approach - I think for now it will just be a matter of logging on & dropping some game for me haha
This article was so helpful! I tweaked your prompt a little to fit my audience and style, then I entered it into one of my custom GPT's and I was blown away! Two more adjustments and I am set. Thank you Luan, if this is any indication of the quality of your other articles, I'm hooked. ☺️
Why am I reading A.I. prose that you didn’t bother writing? Feels disrespectful to me lol

I feel this way too. I’m glad to see how you are using it. Very helpful.
No. It’s about creating garbage to promote yourself.
It’s new age SPAM.
It’s not smart.
I wish there were an “unlike” button I could push.
Or it is smart and you don't want a force multiplier, or are jelly?
I use AI daily. But I use it to engage my brain more. This is garbage, unless, and self serving!
Because you chose to keep reading 👀
Why don’t you look to see if the content has value before you do the whole “anti-ai” routine? I did. It does. I subscribed.
For the same reason I don't like people Googling stuff and then sending me the thing they Googled. Because it's shit I could just do myself
But you didn’t or they wouldn’t have tried to help you by sending it.
Don’t be a, well, you know.
Yep. Generally people who use AI and not labeling it AI are abusing trust and wasting time. Disrespectful is the right word :(
Where is it not labeled AI? It’s in the direct title.
We could also say being intellectually dishonest to make a point is disrespectful.
Or you don't want to save time and use tools. Do you use grammerly or spell check? Did you label it? Geez!
You sound like a broken record. Save time? Really? Did you personally write these comments because you have so much time in your life because of AI?

That’s a great idea, those transcripts are a goldmine for content. Thanks for sharing this

Thank you so much! I’d love to connect as well, it’s always exciting to meet others exploring similar topics.
This is awesome!! I can't wait to try the prompts. Thank you for sharing. 🙏
Thank you! I’m really glad it was helpful. If you ever need any support, I’m happy to help!
H/T to @Karo (Product with Attitude) for dropping this in my feed…
Can you schedule the notes anywhere?
Substack doesn’t support scheduling Notes yet, but I’ve built a app that works for me. It’s not quite polished enough to share publicly, but if there’s interest, I might open it later
Add me to your list
Yup. Add me to your list for that too. Would be incredibly useful.
There is a reason they don’t do that. The point about notes is it should generate interaction, real human connection. What you’re doing is not helping the cause, it’s destroying what Substack is supposed to do. If anyone struggles to write one sentence a day, then they don’t belong here.
I’d also like to know if you can do this
I’ve developed a small application to help schedule Substack Notes, but it’s not complete enough to be widely released.
ahhh okay, I thought that was the case as I've seen others take that approach - I think for now it will just be a matter of logging on & dropping some game for me haha
Outstanding and very very helpful article..🙌

Thanks, Rory. Glad you liked it
Thank you for your generosity in sharing this work :)
Do you happen to have something that will help me schedule my notes? I do want to be consistent but sometimes I have other things going on in life.
I have all my notes written in one place - ready to post but I’d like to schedule it
Hi, you can check out this post: https://soloailab.substack.com/p/i-set-up-mcp-to-schedule-my-substack-notes
Or you can check out Finn Tropy for an extension that can help with scheduling and publishing Notes.
Thank you! I will check it out
