Fuck YouTube tutorials.

I’m going to share 3 prompts that let you build complete AI agents without wasting hours.

Bookmark and repost this so you don't miss out 👇 Image
PROMPT 1: The Blueprint Maker

"I want to build an AI agent that [your specific goal]. Using N8N as the workflow engine and Claude as the AI brain, give me:

- Exact workflow structure
- Required nodes and connections
- API endpoints I'll need
- Data flow between each step
- Potential failure points and how to handle them

Be specific. No generic advice."
This prompt forces Claude to think like an engineer, not a content creator. You get actionable steps, not theory.

I use this for every new agent idea. Takes 2 minutes, saves 2 weeks of trial and error.
PROMPT 2: The Code Generator

"Here's my N8N workflow structure: [paste your workflow]. I need you to write the exact code for:

- Claude API calls with proper error handling
- Data transformation between nodes
- Webhook responses
- Any custom functions

Include the actual HTTP request bodies, headers, and response parsing. Make it copy-paste ready."
Most people get stuck on the technical implementation. This prompt gets you working code in minutes.

The key is being specific about your workflow structure first. Claude needs context to write good code.
PROMPT 3: The Debugger

"My N8N workflow isn't working. Here's what's happening: [describe the issue]. Here's my current setup: [paste relevant parts].
Debug this step by step. Show me:

- What's actually happening vs what should happen
- Exact fixes with code
- How to test each fix

Prevention strategies for similar issues"
This is where Claude shines. It spots patterns you miss and gives you fixes that actually work.

The secret sauce? Always include your actual data and error messages. Vague descriptions get vague solutions.

Try these prompts. Your agent-building speed will 10x overnight.
I hope you've found this thread helpful.

99% of consultants are idiots.

You can now use LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or DeepSeek to get expert-level strategy work without the $500/hour price tag.

Let me give you my 3 mega prompts I use to turn LLMs into my personal consultants:
Here are the 3 prompts we use:

1. Direct + High-Output Strategy Deck Prompt


You're a senior McKinsey-level strategist and B2B SaaS expert. Create a full strategic intelligence pack for a [insert business type], similar to what a top consulting firm would deliver.



[B2B SaaS platform focused on {industry or niche}]
[Mid-market enterprises in North America]
[Briefly describe your product or platform]
[Build a 5-year growth strategy to scale revenue and market dominance]



Your response should be structured like a strategic consulting deck. Include the following:
- Executive Summary
- Market Overview with key trends, stats & sources
- Competitive Landscape (grid or quadrant)
- TAM/SAM/SOM sizing (with assumptions)
- SWOT Analysis
- Risk Mapping (internal & external)
- Blue Ocean opportunity or differentiation framework
- Go-To-Market Strategy segmented by channel or audience
- Growth Levers (organic + inorganic)
- Suggested org/hiring roadmap
- Pricing model options
- Ops & Execution checklist

Write all output in structured bullets or slide-like summaries. Add titles, and use bold for emphasis. Be direct, data-backed, and high-level.
2. Founder's Strategy Assistant Prompt


Act as a founder's AI co-strategist. Help develop a full strategic plan for a B2B SaaS startup.



[Insert name]
[Industry or vertical]
[Describe your ICP]
[Brief description of what the product does]
[Short-term and long-term business goals]



Generate a strategic roadmap covering:
- Market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM with methodology)
- Competitive landscape with positioning
- SWOT analysis
- Porter’s Five Forces
- Key risks and mitigation strategies
- GTM strategy (including channels, personas, content)
- Blue Ocean strategy, if applicable
- Suggested pricing models
- Hiring roadmap for scale
- Metrics to track at each stage

Structure output like a consulting deliverable — slide-style bullets, concise, data-informed, and with section headers.

I don’t trust AI tutorials anymore.

After watching dozens on YouTube, I tried to replicate them.

Almost none of them worked.

So I built my own. 10 agents later, I’ve figured out a pattern.

The truth?

You don’t need another tutorial.

You only need 3 prompts.

And they’ll make agent-building stupid simple. 👇Image

The online education industry is in trouble 😳

Google just dropped “Guided Learning” inside Gemini.

It’s like having a 24/7 professor that:

• explains any concept
• tests your knowledge
• gives feedback until you actually understand.

Here’s why this feels like the end of traditional online learning:
1. How to get in:

• Go to
• Start a new chat
• Choose Guided Learning
• Ask a question or upload a PDF/notes
• Turn them into a lesson with practice. gemini.google.com
2. How it works:

• Detailed explanations you can follow
• Quick quizzes and flashcards
• Pictures and YouTube videos
• Turn your documents into study sets
• Extra help when you’re having trouble

Grok 4 is terrifyingly powerful.

I use it to automate content creation, do research, perform code reviews, build apps and more.

Here are 10 powerful ways to use Grok 4 and automate your tedious work: Image
1. Market research

Here's the prompt I used for market research automation:

"You are a world-class industry analyst with expertise in market research, competitive intelligence, and strategic forecasting.

Your goal is to simulate a Gartner-style report using public data, historical trends, and logical estimation.

For each request:

• Generate clear, structured insights based on known market signals.
• Build data-backed forecasts using assumptions (state them).
• Identify top vendors and categorize them by niche, scale, or innovation.
• Highlight risks, emerging players, and future trends.

Be analytical, not vague. Use charts/tables, markdown, and other formats for generation where helpful.

Be explicit about what’s estimated vs known.

Use this structure:

1. Market Overview
2. Key Players
3. Forecast (1–3 years)
4. Opportunities & Risks
5. Strategic Insights""
2. Build complete websites / apps

Here's the prompt I used:

"Name Your Applet:
Describe What Your App Does:

You are an expert full-stack web developer specializing in JavaScript and CSS/HTML applet development and design. Your task is to develop expert-level code for this project.

Please provide the completed code required to accomplish all the requirements of this project as detailed above.

The applet should feature a modern CSS design with a CSS glassmorphism effect above an appropriate gradient body background. Use flex-direction: column unless your app needs a different layout. Include an h1 title tag above the app container. The app should be mobile responsive, have medium-large font sizes for body, rounded corners, subtle background gradients, and extra padding. The app should be centered on the page. Add a centered copyright ''©2025 {Applet Name}'' below the app container.

Make sure your code is clean and includes concise and professional code comment documentation"

Gemini 2.5 Pro is insanely powerful.

I gave a mega prompt to Gemini that turns it into a writing assistant and it’s so good I stopped outsourcing everything.

Landing pages, LinkedIn posts, email sequences done.

Here’s the full prompt ↓
If you’re a writer and not using AI for your work…
I’m 100% sure you’ll lose your job to a writer who does.

This isn’t a maybe it’s already happening. Image
And let’s be honest:

Most content today is:

- Bloated
- Robotic
- Written for algorithms, not humans

That’s why I built this.
