Hey AI Breakers 👋
Most solo founders burn out because they're trying to be a marketing team, delivery team, and operations team all at once.
The good news? AI can handle about 70% of the repetitive thinking work that's eating your evenings and weekends.

But here’s the truth:
AI can now cover ~70% of these tasks — if you know how to structure your day.
