An operating system for creators

I stopped being my own assistant.

I make food films for about 10 million people a month, I'm building a restaurant group, and I still cook dinner almost every night. What makes that possible is a system I built with Claude: a second brain that captures everything, a crew of skills that learn from every correction, and one memory underneath it all. CoBrain is that system, packaged so you can install it.

Built and run daily by Ross Deutsch of This Guy Cooks. Not a course. The actual working system, generalized. Read the 33-day proof →
The crew · eleven skills

Meet the whole crew.

Eleven members of my system, each generalized from the crew that runs my real operation. Three are free: complete instruction files, not teasers. Copy one into a chat, or install it as a Claude Skill, and it works today. The other eight ship with the full CoBrain, because they only make sense wired into the memory and the command center.

01 Free

The Archivist

Files everything you capture, from voice notes to links to half-thoughts, into a second brain that connects, not just collects. One clean page per topic, linked to everything you already know.

02 Free

The Understudy

Studies and learns your voice, then drafts in it. Every edit you make gets diffed against its draft, the rule gets written down, and the next take comes back closer. A voice double that never stops rehearsing you.

The Producer

Runs your day like a producer runs a set. One call sheet every morning: one frog, the hard landscape, who owes you what. Nothing you started dies quietly.

The Dealmaker

Handles brand-deal email like a manager who knows your rates and your whole thread history. Sells premium, never undersells, and always moves the deal. It drafts; only you send.

Learns: how you negotiate

05

The Scorekeeper

Reads your numbers and tells the truth: what actually worked, what to make more of, which metrics are weather. Never rounds up. Not for morale, not for a pitch, not ever.

Learns: what fooled you last time

06

The Editor

The last gate before anything ships. Checks every piece against your standards, and keeps a growing library of every mistake it has ever caught, so nothing fails the same way twice.

Learns: every defect, once
Ships with the full CoBrain
07

The Showrunner

One story across every channel. Decides what ships where and when, keeps the calendars full and coherent, and kills the post that fights the narrative.

Learns: your through-line

08

The Maître D'

Turns viewers into regulars. Owns the welcome: capture, first emails, and the list itself, so the audience you rent on the platforms becomes one you own.

Learns: what makes them stay
Ships with the full CoBrain
09

The Sous Chef

Runs the prep list. Moves every piece from idea to published: batching, formats, repurposing. Service never stalls because prep never stops.

Learns: your production rhythm

The Concierge

The front of house. Answers comments and DMs in your voice, on canon, and never sends a word without a human hand on it.

Learns: your regulars

The Bookkeeper

Keeps the money honest. Who owes you, what is due, which subscriptions are quietly eating you, and the invoice that needs chasing today.

One shared memory

The eleven are not eleven chatbots. They read and write one brain, they learn from every correction you make, and they answer to the same laws. That wiring is the product.

Lives in: the full CoBrain
See the full system

Every skill ends the same way: a section called "Teach it." When you correct one, it extracts the rule and writes it down, so your first draft next week starts closer to your final. That habit is the whole philosophy, and it's what the full system runs on.

The product

A skill is a prompt. A CoBrain is what your skills become when they share one memory that grows and supports your own evolution.

Run the free skills on their own and you have good assistants with amnesia between chats. The full CoBrain wires them together.

One memory

A raw-to-wiki second brain every skill reads and writes. The Dealmaker knows what The Archivist filed. Nothing gets explained twice.

The learning loop

Every correction you make becomes a standing rule in the right rulebook. Nothing resets; it only gets more yours.

The laws

Trust levels per capability, and a final vote: the maker never certifies its own work. You decide what runs alone and what waits for you.

The full crew

All of the agent charters, not just five, working one system instead of five separate chats.

It's the difference between owning knives and having a kitchen.

The other half · Notion templates

The brain thinks. The command center runs.

CoBrain ships as two halves built to work together. The Claude side is the crew and the memory. The Notion side is a full creator command center the crew reads and writes — and every board in it is a cleaned, fictionalized twin of one I run daily. Three templates are free. The system they belong to is the product.

The Production System

The full machine: per-platform captions as properties, filming and launch dates driving the calendar, one project row per partner month, statuses from concept to client-delivered. The Sous Chef runs on this.

The Client Report

The renewal machine: a monthly client-facing report fed by per-post performance rows, written in the voice that keeps partners. Almost nobody sends reports. The ones who do get renewed.

The Scoreboard

Monthly numbers, top performers, and the standing figures you quote to partners, each with a source and a date. The Scorekeeper keeps it honest.

The Growth Ladder

A tracker of the creators and accounts you're building real relationships with, staged from first comment to collaboration. Turns "engage more" into a checklist someone can actually run.

The Playbook Shelf

Versioned SOPs with evolution logs: how you caption, how you produce, how you work with partners. The constitution that lets you hand work off without handing off your standards. The Editor enforces it.

Ships with the full CoBrain

Previews are mocks for now. Every template is a cleaned, fictionalized twin of a board I run daily — real screenshots land as each twin is finished. And the paid tier isn't nine separate templates: it's one wired workspace where the boards feed each other and the crew reads and writes them.
