The new AI Disruptor Knowledge Hub just went live. Google updated NotebookLM permissions. Now I can publicly share notebooks instead of requiring individual access and complicated Google groups. This means you can instantly dive into my entire archive without the friction. I loaded every newsletter, every framework, every example into a single notebook that's constantly updated.
I interview myself to train my AI (copy my 12 questions)

I’ve been getting this question lately: "Alex, you talk about building a knowledge base in your AI, but how exactly do I do that?"Fair question. "Build knowledge" sounds abstract. Most people end up throwing stand-alone prompts at ChatGPT and wondering why their content still sounds generic. Your AI needs to know you before it can write like you. I built something for my AI Disruptor community that solves this problem.
Everyone will use AI to write (don't be the last one pretending)

The creator economy is splitting into two camps: those building AI workflows and those pretending they don't need to. Guess which group is scaling faster? Every platform is integrating AI features. Every successful marketing tool now includes AI assistance. The infrastructure for AI-powered content creation is being built whether you participate or not.

Most creators are stuck in one of two painful cycles:They're reactive content machines—see a trending tweet, quickly respond, hope for a viral moment. Or they're staring at blank pages, wondering what the hell to write about next. Meanwhile, trending content is literally a goldmine of proven ideas sitting right there. Every day I'm scrolling X and constantly see posts that spark newsletter ideas. Could be while I'm just hanging out on my phone, outside doing something, wherever.
Pillar 3: Scale the output

In Pillar 1, we explored building your knowledge base. In Pillar 2, we covered collaboration with AI. Now we complete the framework with the pillar that transforms everything: systematic scaling. Most creators are still trapped with one-piece-at-a-time. They write a newsletter, hit publish, and immediately start trying to fill the next blank page. They're playing content creation on hard mode and wondering why they're burning out. There's a better way.
The AI Newsletter Starter Pack

Most newsletter creators are stuck in two painful cycles:Spending entire afternoons staring at blank pages, writing and rewriting hooks, struggling with structure. Using basic prompts that produce bland, templated content everyone scrolls past. There's a better way to systematically create newsletters that actually convert. This starter pack gives you three prompts I've refined through hundreds of hours of real-world work and experience.
Pillar 2: Co-write with AI

In Pillar 1, we talked about building your knowledge base. Once you've fed your AI everything it needs to know about your voice, your audience, your frameworks, uploaded your best writing samples, and created those detailed brand documents, things start to get interesting. With that knowledge base in place, an entire new world of co-writing with AI opens up. You're no longer starting from scratch with generic prompts.
Before you prompt ChatGPT, give it these 5 files

Most people use ChatGPT like a vending machine. Drop in a clever prompt. Wait for something shiny. That’s not an AI system. Pro AI users don’t operate this way. They don’t rely on one-shot prompts. They don’t hope for magic. They build project knowledge—structured, reusable context that gives their assistant the information it actually needs to write like them, think like them, and deliver publish-ready work. Today, I’ll show you the five foundational documents I recommend every serious AI user create.
Pillar ⓵: Build knowledge

1 week ago | aidisruptor.ai | Alex McFarland

Most AI content starts in the wrong place: the prompt. “Use this trick to get output X.”“Steal this formula.”“Paste this into ChatGPT.”But if you’ve ever used these tricks and still found yourself rewriting a lot of the output, you’ve already discovered the truth:You can’t prompt your way out of a blank brain. That’s why the first pillar in our system isn’t about outputs at all. It’s about building your input engine—a thinking environment your AI can actually work with.
The 3 pillars of your AI writing system

Many AI newsletters are drowning in tool dumps and prompt tricks. I was heading down that same road—until it became impossible. AI Disruptor started as a way to teach everything I was learning: new tools, new workflows, new ways of creating with AI. But over time, it started pulling me in too many directions. I couldn’t go deep. I was chasing new features instead of building something that lasts. So I took a step back.
