AI FIELD MANUAL
Real problems. Real workflows. Named limitations.
Not a hundred ChatGPT prompts and not a listicle. Each entry starts with one specific, realistic situation and walks through how an AI practitioner would actually solve it - the approach, the reasoning, the exact steps, the real tools, and where the method breaks down.
HOW EVERY ENTRY IS BUILT
The problem, named
A specific situation, not a category - a role, a deadline, a real friction. If the problem could apply to anyone, it isn’t specific enough to act on.
The approach and why it works
The recommended workflow, and the actual reasoning behind it - not just what to do, but why this method rather than the more obvious shortcut.
Named tools, honest limits
Every tool is real, checkable, and never paid placement. Every entry names where the method breaks down - a workflow with no stated limitations isn’t finished.
A worked example
A realistic run of the workflow end to end, so you can see the shape of the result before you spend the time.
