What this is, and who writes it

I'm Anirudh Kumar. I work in customer success at software companies, and I spent eight years building communities, including running a Toastmasters chapter in Delhi that grew past 500 members. I was on the team at Clueso when it reached number one on Product Hunt.

I am not a developer. That turned out to be the useful part.

Why it exists

Most writing about AI is produced by people who build software, for people who build software. It assumes you know what an API is, that a workflow is something you wire together, and that setup is a normal cost of doing business.

That leaves out almost everyone. Marketing, sales, customer success, operations, freelancers, consultants: all being told AI matters, by writing that was never aimed at them.

Hustlyst is aimed at them.

The four parts

The library. Playbooks sorted by role, a prompt library, tool picks and ten short guides. Each playbook is one task done start to finish with AI.
The newsletter. Each issue is one new playbook from my own week at work, plus one tool that makes it faster and what to check before installing it. What's in an issue.
Open-source skills and templates. CoworkOS, a workspace that gives your AI assistant a memory of how you work, and skills that get Claude to do a job with you, like designing a meeting or vetting a tool. No terminal required. See them all.
Me. Everything here is written by one person who does a real job with these tools, not by a team selling them.

How a playbook is written

It starts from a task people actually do at work, not from a tool looking for a use.
It works with any free AI assistant. No code, no API keys, no paid tool required.
It tells you what to check before you use the result, because AI still gets names, numbers and dates wrong.
It never names a customer, an employer or a colleague, and never uses real account details.

What Hustlyst is not

Not a news site, not a tool critic, and not written for founders or developers. When a tool is recommended, it is because it makes a task faster, and the one thing to know before installing it is always included.

Keeping it current

Every price on this site is checked against the vendor's own pricing page and dated, and entries are corrected when something changes. Some tool links are affiliate links; they are marked, and they never decide what gets recommended.
