Playbooks, frameworks and prompt packs for operators shipping AI products across Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia. Real numbers. No cadence.

Scroll to drift

You're already in the tesseract. Every decision you make today — which market, which product, which bet — is a thread reaching across time. You just can't see where it lands yet.

01
Operator playbooks.

How to enter Korea and Southeast Asia. What to validate. The failure modes I've seen across 150+ pitches and my own shipped products. Steal them.

02
Prompt packs.

The exact prompts I use to ship faster. Banned defaults sheets, reference dictionaries, voice specs, design tokens. No fluff, just the working ones.

03
Build logs.

Real numbers from real products. What's working, what isn't, what I'd do differently at every inflection. No theory. No case studies.

I reviewed 150+ pitches as a VC. Then crossed the table and shipped products across Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia. Everything here is something I'm using — not something I think might work.
