Ahad Amdani has been writing software for 20 years. Lockheed Martin, Accenture, Capgemini. A kind of resume that makes you think he’d be the last person struggling with content creation.
He was spending 12 to 15 hours a week on it. Research, writing, scheduling, posting. All the stuff that eats your week before you’ve actually done anything meaningful.
Then he joined my AI Business Builder cohort, and over four weeks we rebuilt the whole thing with AI. Now he spends about an hour a day. Most of that hour is reading, editing, and hitting “approve.”
The system
Every morning, a Discord bot sends Ahad three LinkedIn draft posts and two Substack Notes. All written in his voice, pulled from 300+ writing samples he fed into the system. He reads them, tweaks what needs tweaking, tells the bot to schedule them, and moves on with his day.
The bot opens his browser, navigates to Substack or LinkedIn, pastes the content, sets the time, and schedules it. He doesn’t even copy and paste anymore.
He built this on top of Drift, my professional AI writing system, connected it to a Supabase database in the cloud, and wired the whole thing through Discord. The entire stack runs on a MacBook in clamshell mode sitting on his desk, and his only recurring cost is his Claude subscription.
What actually made it work
Ahad didn’t start here. He went through multiple cohorts, tried ghostwriting, attempted a “rapid build sprint” offer that didn’t land. The shift happened when he stopped trying to sell his skills as a service and started packaging them as coaching.
And then there was the content problem. He knew what he wanted to say but the process of actually getting it written, scheduled, and published was eating his weeks alive. Drift changed that. He fed it his writing samples, connected it to his backend, and within days had a system that produced content that genuinely sounded like him.
His words: “I can cycle through the drafts and be like, hey, this sounds exactly like me.” He even started running the humanizer skill on his own manually written drafts because the anti-AI filters improved his writing. 28+ rules that clean up language patterns AI tends to over-rely on, and it turns out those same patterns sneak into human writing too.
He liked Drift so much that he asked me about becoming an affiliate so he could sell it as part of his own coaching offer. That was a first for me. I’d never even thought about an affiliate program before someone asked for one.
He also shared three specific hacks from his workflow that I think are worth stealing.
#1 The voice dump hack
If you don’t know what to write, grab your phone and record yourself talking for 15 to 30 minutes about whatever is on your mind. Just ramble. Then feed that recording into Claude or ChatGPT and ask it to give you a structured draft from your words. Read it out loud, tweak it until it sounds like you talking to a friend. That’s your writing sample. Feed that to your AI writing system and it gets better from there.
#2 The panel research skill
When Ahad needs to go deep on any topic, he built a reusable skill that does deep research, then assembles a panel of topic-specific experts to review the findings. He doesn’t predefine who the experts are. He lets the topic determine the panel. If the research is about DevOps and no DevOps expert showed up, he just says “now analyze this through a DevOps lens.” The approach keeps producing surprisingly grounded results because each topic gets its own relevant reviewers.
#3 The reverse engineering move
Find 10 authors you genuinely enjoy reading. Feed their best-performing posts into the AI. Tell it what you liked about them and ask it to extract the patterns. Then ask it to generate topics using those patterns combined with your own experience. Even if seven of the drafts are bad, the one good one becomes your next writing sample.
For the non-technical folks
Ahad was honest about this. His setup is advanced. Private Discord server, fleet of agents running in Tmux sessions, an orchestrator agent that routes messages to the right project. That’s 20 years of dev experience talking.
But his advice for people starting out was practical. Use tools like Open Claw or Hermes if you want a friendlier interface. Follow creators who teach AI implementation. And honestly, just ask the AI itself how to set things up. The newer models are goal-oriented enough that you can say “I want to talk to my AI without being at my computer” and it’ll figure out the steps.
The quote I keep coming back to
“You are no longer sitting there doing research and writing and doing all this manual tedious stuff. You are editing, refining, and using your judgment. Your taste. That’s it. Approving and scheduling. And then you’re moving.”
You stop being the person who produces content and become the person who approves it. The AI handles the 70% that’s grunt work. You keep the 30% that actually matters: your judgment and your taste.
Ahad’s parting words: “The barrier to building has collapsed. You don’t need anyone’s permission. Go build things.”

🚀 Work with me
AIBergStudio is my AI consultancy. I work with business owners, offices and companies in to figure out where AI fits and build the first system that actually runs.
We start with a free call. I look at your business, find the highest-impact workflow, and tell you exactly what I’d do. If it makes sense to work together, we go from there.
A little about me
I live for helping people figure out AI without the hype. When I’m not building workflows, I’m adventuring with my rescue dog Mambo, who has zero interest in AI but very strong opinions about what we eat.
P.s. I publish every Wednesday. Subscribe and it lands in your inbox. Free.
