Questions
FAQ
Do I need to code?+
No. Every recipe uses no-code tools or a chat assistant. n8n is included for readers who are technical or want to self-host, and it's labelled as such.
Which tool do you recommend?+
It depends on the job. The playbook helps you choose, and says where each tool is weak. Many readers can start with the ChatGPT or Claude plan they already pay for.
Will the prices still be right?+
They were checked on each vendor's pricing page on 19-20 Oct 2026 and are dated in the guide. AI tools change pricing often, so always check the linked page before you pay.
Will an agent send emails for me?+
Not unless you decide it should. Every recipe starts drafts-only, with a human approval gate.
Is this legal or security advice?+
No. It's a practical guide. You're responsible for the data you connect and the messages you send.
What do I get?+
A 23-page PDF (US Letter) with links you can click. You pay first, then download it right away.
Can I get a refund?+
Yes. Email us within 14 days of purchase for a full refund.
Is tax added to the price?+
Price in USD. Local sales tax or GST may be added at checkout, depending on where you live.
Who handles my payment?+
Payments are handled securely by Gumroad. Your card statement will show "Gumroad" or "GUM.CO". Gumroad emails your receipt and download link.

It doesn't change our assessment: Make's weak points are listed next to its strengths, and no other tool in the guide pays us. General information, provided as-is. Not legal or security advice.
