The Content Studio

AI-drafted mini-course, Off Leash Bytes, the book, testimonials — Jer edits and records.

The Content Studio

An AI-assisted drafting pipeline — not software — that turns Jer's existing curriculum and story transcripts into publishable assets he edits and records. It serves Marketing/Admin (Jer), producing for the Unpaid and Paid personas.

Verdict

BUILD-with-AI — a drafting pipeline, not a product. AI drafts from his own material; Jer edits and records. The point: this is ~10× cheaper than ghostwriters or agencies, and the real constraint is Jer's recording time, not the build.

What it does

How we'd build it

AI drafting (Claude) runs over his curriculum and the transcribed story corpus (Whisper, already running). Simple graphics tooling produces the Bytes assets. Outputs flow straight into the site, the email service, and the Bytes feed — no new app to maintain.

Effort & cost

Each asset is hours-to-days of AI-assisted drafting plus Jer's edit and record time. The book is the clearest case: days of assembly versus a $15k+ ghostwriter — the most dramatic "10% of the cost" example here. The binding constraint is recording, not building.

When

Phase 1 — the corpus. Partly gated on Jer's willingness to record. In his own words: "I could be stretched to record more. Help me out."

Connects to

The The AI Layer holds the story corpus and the copilot that drafts all of this. The The Public Site & Funnel is where the mini-course and Bytes live. The reveals build on the Scorecard spec, and the book is the first of the Strategy Brief's "Five more ideas." The Path defines the story-capture protocol that feeds the corpus, and it all sits inside The Platform.
