Friday · September 25, 2026 · Issue #[ISSUE NUMBER]

Fridays are usually a stack of tools. This week it's three drops from The Promptory itself.

Jordan now works inside your browser. The framework behind the vault is now a book. And we're opening two done-for-you builds for healthcare practices and professional services firms, each live in 4 weeks.

⬡ Drop 1 · Jordan Is Now in Chrome

You don't pick AI tools on our site. You pick them while you're on someone else's, staring at a pricing page and wondering what else you'd need to make it work.

So we put Jordan there. Jordan – AI Stack Advisor is a free Chrome extension that recognizes when you're on any of the 150 tools in The Promptory vault and shows you the stack that works around it: which tools connect, what each one does in the workflow, and what it costs.

Example · On hubspot.com

Build around HubSpot AI

Open HubSpot and Jordan maps a stack that finds verified leads, books them by phone, and sends emails at the right moment, all feeding HubSpot automatically:

Seamless.ai · Free / $147/mo

Fills HubSpot with verified leads so the pipeline never runs dry.

Seventh Sense · $64/mo

Built natively for HubSpot. Sends each email when that contact is most likely to open it.

Fireflies.ai · Free / $18/mo

Transcribes every sales call and logs the insights back to the CRM.

Want something different? Ask Jordan right in the panel about your use case, budget, or team size, and the stack adjusts.

⬡ Drop 2 · The Book Is Out
From AI Strategy to Live System by Troy Jones

From AI Strategy to Live System

A Small Business Owner's Framework · Troy Jones

There are 47,400 AI tools on the market. You need three or four. Most business owners buy AI backwards: get excited, sign up, hope it works, and end up paying for eleven subscriptions while using four. This book fixes the sequence.

What's inside

●  How to audit your stack in one afternoon

●  Four questions to answer before you spend a dollar

●  Six patterns that predict an AI rollout will fail

●  A five-point filter for any tool, any year

●  How to go from strategy to a live system in weeks

You'll also see where two of the world's biggest companies got AI badly wrong, so you can skip the tuition they paid to learn it.

[$15.99 Paperback or $7.99 Kindle ] · Available on Amazon

A note from Troy: this is the same framework Jordan runs on and the one I built The Promptory on, alone and without outside capital. Less hype. More system.

⬡ Drop 3 · Two Stacks, Built For You in 4 Weeks

The book gives you the framework. The extension gives you the stack. If you'd rather have it built and running, we're opening two fixed-scope builds for the industries where we see the most time lost.

Monday · September 28, 2026 · Issue #[ISSUE NUMBER] The biggest AI story of the weekend wasn't a new model. It was a company choosing to stop.
