Think it through. Then get it out.
Talk an idea through with Reed, your AI thought partner, and leave with a brief you could take into a meeting, then a finished piece in your own voice. The Studio plan puts Reed to work on your ideas every month.
Billed monthly. Cancel anytime. Your login arrives by email within minutes.

Everything in the Studio plan
Reed, your thought partner
He knows how you think, challenges weak premises, and turns a rough idea into a structured brief.
Briefs you can use
For a leadership meeting, an email, a board update, or a strategy doc.
Your Voice DNA
Built in your first session, a profile of how you think, talk, and write, applied to every piece.
Seven quality checks
Every draft is checked before you see it. Nothing is published until you approve it.
Your morning brief
Topics from your market worth joining, found and ranked overnight, ready when you start your day.
One idea, every format
An approved piece becomes an article, a LinkedIn post, a newsletter, or a talk outline.
A monthly group AMA (Ask Mark Anything)
Bring your thinking and strategy questions to a live hour with Mark. Every session is recorded to the members' library.

You're never left alone with the software. Questions go to a person who built it.

It wrote a strategy memo on my own pricing model and I used it as-is. No cleanup. That's never happened with another tool.Casey O'Toole, Founder and CEO, LinkyBot
Twenty minutes later I had two difficult letters drafted, one to the man who nominated me a decade ago and one to the CEO, and clarity on a significant life decision.
IdeasOut helped me sort through the cold start problem by interviewing me. Within seconds it gives me a smart outline, then works as my AI partner through the writing to produce output I'm proud to share.
Questions
Do I need to know how to use AI?
No. Reed asks questions and you answer them. There are no prompts to write.
Will it sound like AI?
Every piece is checked against your Voice DNA and scanned for filler phrases before you see it. Nothing is published until you approve it.
How much of my time does it take?
Your first session takes about 30 minutes. After that, you decide the pace. Bring an idea when you have one.
What if I miss the monthly group AMA?
Every session is recorded and saved to the members' library.
Can I cancel?
Yes, anytime. You're billed monthly, and access runs to the end of the month you've paid for.
Who do I talk to if I'm stuck?
Email [email protected]. A person answers, usually the same day.
Nothing changes until the idea gets out.
