Research scout
Bring back a short evidence brief with sources, dates, and open questions.
Your decision: Check the sources and decide which question deserves a test.
Financial freedom starts with more choices
Build a side hustle.
Build your AI team.
Create room for useful work, earning options, and a life with more flexibility. Start with one repeatable job, give your agents a clear brief, and keep improving the system.
Define freedom for yourself
What would more flexibility make possible?
A side hustle can be a way to test earning options. Better productivity can make room for learning, family, rest, or work you care about. Choose a concrete first goal: reclaim two hours a week, test one paid offer, or finish the project you keep postponing.
Financial freedom is an ambition to work toward. Track the actual time, costs, demand, and income as you go. Start with a test small enough to fit your life.
Turn that goal into one small experiment →You set the direction
Give every agent a job.
Give the work a quality bar.
Think of a team as a set of roles with clear handoffs. You can practice with separate conversations in one assistant, then use connected agents when your chosen tool supports them. More agents help only when the work can be separated and checked.
Project planner
Turn your chosen outcome into small tasks, dependencies, and a time limit.
Your decision: Choose the scope and what you will leave for later.
Maker
Produce a draft, design, prototype, or document from the approved brief.
Your decision: Decide whether it solves the actual problem.
Quality reviewer
Check the output against the brief; return specific defects and missing evidence.
Your decision: Verify the important checks yourself and approve the result.
Operations helper
Prepare repeatable checklists, organize approved files, and flag exceptions.
Your decision: Set access limits and approve changes to live systems.
Learning partner
Summarize actual feedback, costs, time, and what changed this week.
Your decision: Choose to continue, adjust, or pause the experiment.
Start with a maker and a reviewer. Add research or operations when there is a recurring job for them. One shared brief and an agreed output format make the next handoff easier.
Use the starting prompt
Act as my [role] for [project]. The outcome is [one finished output] for [audience]. Use only [approved inputs and sources]. Work within [time and cost limit]. Return [format], your sources, assumptions, and unresolved questions. Check against [acceptance criteria]. Hand the result to [next role] only when these checks pass. Stop for my decision before sending, publishing, spending, deleting, or changing a live system. Do not invent missing facts.

Automate the repeat.
Keep the judgment.
Choose work that happens often, has usable inputs, and has a result you can check. These are setup ideas for your own tools; try a draft-only run before connecting live actions.

Four workflows you can borrow.
Each starts with your context and ends with a decision or a useful artifact. Use the prompts in the assistant you choose.
A small service, ready to test
For a side hustle based on something you already know.
- You choose a buyer and one problem.
- Research scout organizes real conversations and open questions.
- Planner scopes one small paid-pilot hypothesis; maker drafts a sample.
- Reviewer checks the sample against your promise and flags gaps.
- You show it to a relevant person, discuss scope, and record the response.
Use the starting prompt
Use my skill [skill] and these real observations [notes] to draft one small service test for [buyer]. Return the deliverable, what is excluded, a sample outline, acceptance checks, and one question for a potential buyer. Label assumptions. Keep the test within [hours] and [budget].
One useful idea, several formats
For sharing expertise without starting from scratch every time.
- You approve a main article or demonstration with its sources.
- Writer drafts a post, email excerpt, and short video outline.
- Reviewer checks each version against the approved original.
- You adapt the voice, choose the channel, and approve publication.
- Learning partner organizes actual reactions into the next reader question.
Use the starting prompt
Adapt this approved material [content and sources] into [formats] for [audience]. Keep the same factual claims and caveats. Give each piece one useful idea and a next step. Include a review checklist; do not publish or schedule anything.
A tiny tool, ready for someone to try
For turning a repeated problem into a useful first version.
- You describe one user, one task, and what “done” means.
- Planner writes a small brief and lists missing decisions.
- Maker builds the smallest usable version.
- Reviewer tries normal, empty, invalid, and narrow-screen cases.
- You approve release, observe a willing user, and choose the next fix.
Use the starting prompt
Help me build [small tool] for [user and task]. Start with an approved brief, inputs, outputs, and acceptance checks. Keep version one within [limits]. Include empty, invalid, and mobile states. Return the artifact and evidence from meaningful checks. Pause before deployment for my review.
A week of work, one clear next move
For improving the system instead of only doing more.
- You gather the real time log, costs, outputs, and feedback.
- Operations helper organizes the records; missing data stays unknown.
- Learning partner compares the evidence with your original test.
- Reviewer offers another explanation for the result.
- You choose one change, a time limit, and the next review date.
Use the starting prompt
Review this week [actual records] against my goal [goal]. Separate effort, accepted output, customer response, costs, and income received. State what is still unknown. Offer continue, change, and pause options. Suggest one small next test within [time and spending limits].
Your practice, with Waymaker
Build a routine.
Find your way through the dips.
Wealth Experiment is where you try the work and measure what you learn. Waymaker brings Builder DNA, founder stories, and Cameron, its AI Chief of Staff, into the wider journey. Start here with the shared assessment and stories, then use these original practice prompts with Cameron in your Waymaker workspace.
Before you build · 5 minutes
Make the next step fit today.
Name your energy, available time, and one output. Use Builder DNA as a reflection prompt: what strength can help, and what habit might get in the way? Try a 25-minute build block and leave a note for the next session.
Use the starting prompt
Help me choose one useful output for today. I have [minutes], my energy is [description], and my current experiment is [brief]. My Builder DNA reflection is [strength and growth edge]. Suggest a small first action and a stopping point. Ask for missing context rather than assuming it.
When momentum dips · 10 minutes
Make returning easier.
Open the last thing you made. Notice what stopped you: an unclear step, an oversized task, missing feedback, or simply too much on your plate. Choose a five-minute restart, a smaller test, or an intentional pause. Read one founder story for perspective, then return to your own next move.
Use the starting prompt
I stalled on [project] after [what happened]. The last thing I learned was [evidence]. Help me distinguish an unclear next step, a scope problem, a need for feedback, and a need to pause. Give me one five-minute restart and one sensible pause option. Do not turn a setback into a promised success.
At the weekly review · 15 minutes
Improve one part of the routine.
Compare your intended work with what happened. Keep the cue that helped you start, shrink a task that ran long, and remove one friction point. Record the next action before you close the project so the next session begins with less effort.
Use the starting prompt
Review my routine using [planned work, actual work, time, and friction]. What helped me start? Where did I lose time? Suggest one change to test next week, a way to measure whether it helps, and the first action for my next session. Keep the plan within [available time].
These routines are suggested exercises with adjustable time boxes. The quiz and story library work here; personalized conversations with Cameron take place in Waymaker.
Start this week
One job. Two roles.
A little more room.
Pick a recurring task. Time the manual version. Give a maker and reviewer one clear brief. Try the workflow, count the whole effort, and decide whether to keep it. Build your team around work that earns its place.
