The exact stack ghostwriters use to scale a B2B writing practice without burning out.
All stacks
Each stack is a tested recipe for shipping a specific outcome. Tap any one to see tools, costs, workflow, and pitfalls.
Research, script, voiceover, B-roll, edit. The assembly line behind 12 channels at >100k subs.
An AI-curated newsletter you can ship every Tuesday in under two hours, end to end.
Royalty-free, on-brand background music for short-form video. Generated, not licensed.
Record on Sunday, ship on Monday. Solo podcast pipeline with no editor required.
Cold outbound that actually books meetings. Research, enrichment, copy, send, CRM.
Inbox triage for solo founders. 30 minutes back, every morning.
AI-generated UGC ad creative (scripts, voices, b-roll) at 1/10 the cost of a real creator.
Ship a SaaS by Sunday. Design, scaffold, build, deploy without leaving the AI loop.
Build a recurring TikTok character. Same voice, same look, daily uploads, no on-camera time.
The same faceless-YouTube pipeline at $0/mo. Free LLMs, free voice, stock b-roll.
Post on LinkedIn 3 times a week without an agency stack. Just Claude, Typefully, and your own voice.
Solo-founder cold outbound for under $80/mo. Apollo for leads, Claude for copy, Gmail to send.
Inbox triage without paying $25/mo for Superhuman. Gmail filters do the splits, Claude drafts the replies.
Solo podcast in one app. Record, edit, transcribe, and clip in Descript; auto-clip in Opus.
A newsletter on Substack that compounds via the platform's own network instead of paid acquisition.
Music for 8 to 15-minute vlogs and YouTube essays. Cleaner mix than the short-form pipeline, single tool.
AI UGC ads at <$25/mo. CapCut's built-in AI voice + stock library replaces ElevenLabs and Pika.
Ship a SaaS by Sunday with Gemini's 2M-token context window holding the whole codebase as one file.
Recurring character without generating any video. Voice carries; CapCut's typography carries the rest.
Plan with Claude, hand off to Claude Code in the terminal for autonomous edits, let CodeRabbit review, fix what it finds, ship.
One surface, end to end. Claude Code does the planning AND the implementation; CodeRabbit reviews.
OpenAI's Codex on two surfaces: CLI in the terminal for hands-on work, Cloud for fire-and-forget PRs.
Cursor as the primary surface. Inline edits, agent mode for multi-file work, CodeRabbit on the PR.
Ship an iOS app from scratch: Cursor for Swift code, Xcode for build/sign/TestFlight, Claude for product decisions.
Ship a Kotlin app: Cursor and Claude for the code, Android Studio for build, signing, and Play Console upload.
One codebase, both app stores. Expo + React Native, Cursor for the code, Claude for the architecture, EAS Build for native compile.
Edit one vertical video, write captions with Claude, ship it to TikTok, Reels, Shorts, X, LinkedIn, and Threads via Post Bridge.
Postiz on a $5 VPS replaces the SaaS scheduler. Same edit + caption flow; you keep the data and the bill stays at the cost of a Hetzner box.
Ghost Feed writes the captions, generates the visuals, and posts on a fixed cadence. The 'I just want a feed running' option.
GenViral mines trending audios + formats, generates on-trend videos, and Post Bridge ships them to every platform — built for the swing-for-the-fences play.
Real-time research that combines what X is talking about right now with cited primary sources and a synthesis you can act on.
Run thousands of LLM calls a day for the price of a coffee. DeepSeek for production volume, Claude as the calibration and eval surface.
Run frontier-grade LLMs on weights you can inspect, self-host, and audit. Llama for general work, Mistral when EU data residency matters, Claude as the calibration eval.
Produce content in 5+ languages without sounding translated. Each language to the model that actually speaks it well.
Prompt a working full-stack app: Lovable scaffolds the UI, wires Supabase, drops in Stripe, and deploys to a live URL.
v0 generates the React + shadcn UI; Cursor wires the backend + DB; Vercel deploys.
No local install, no terminal. Replit Agent builds, runs, and hosts the app in your browser.
Google's IDE on top of Gemini's 2M-context. Especially clean if your stack is GCP, Firebase, Android, or Workspace.
Windsurf's Cascade agent plans + executes multi-step changes in the IDE. Fewer per-turn cycles on big diffs than Composer.
Generate brand-grade thumbnails, ad creative, and social images at the speed of typing — Midjourney for the image, Claude for the prompt, Canva for the text overlay.
Delegate a multi-step research or analysis project to Manus, get a finished deliverable. Use Claude to QA before you act on it.
