Creator System Series #2 | The AI Vibe Check: What’s Your System Type?
Welcome back to the Creator System Series! In the first part, we took a little trip down memory lane—from mixtapes on cassette to the AI tools of today. We talked about how systems and tools might change, but the intention behind them always stays the same.
Today, we’re getting a bit more playful.
When I work with creators, I quickly notice one thing: everyone has a completely different way of handling systems, content, and AI. Some have a perfectly color-coded spreadsheet for everything (and probably alphabetize their spice rack). Others have 500 open tabs and just hope for the best. And then there are those who let AI do all the work and wonder why their latest post sounds like a corporate robot trying to sell insurance.
That’s why today, we’re doing the ultimate AI Vibe Check.
Find out what kind of creator system type you are and which AI tool is your absolute “soulmate” to take your business to the next level.
Ready? Grab a coffee (or matcha) and keep track of your answers!
Question 1: You sit down to plan your content for the week. What actually happens?
A) I open my meticulously crafted Notion dashboard, cross-reference my quarterly goals, and spend three hours adjusting the column widths. I write exactly zero posts.
B) I stare at a blank screen until the panic sets in, then I aggressively scroll through Pinterest for “inspiration” until I end up looking at recipes for sourdough bread.
C) I don’t plan. I just let my 14-step n8n automation scrape the internet, feed it to an AI, and schedule it. I haven’t written a word myself since 2023.
Question 2: What does your relationship with AI look like?
A) It’s basically my therapist. I tell it my deepest fears about my niche, ask it if my tone is “too salesy,” and then ignore its advice anyway.
B) We are in a toxic relationship. I give it a terrible, one-sentence prompt, it gives me garbage back, and I complain that “AI just doesn’t get my vibe.”
C) I speak to it exclusively in complex, multi-layered prompt frameworks. If it uses the word “delve” or “tapestry,” I immediately delete the chat and start over.
Question 3: Be honest. What is your biggest “content sin”?
A) I have 47 drafts sitting in my folder waiting for “the right time.” Spoiler alert: The right time was six months ago.
B) I post three days in a row, feel like an absolute content god, and then completely ghost my audience for three weeks because I “need to recharge.”
C) I spend more time building the system to post the content than I do creating the content. My Zapier account is a work of art; my Instagram grid is a ghost town.
The Reveal: We See You.
Tally up which letter you chose the most!
Mostly A: The “Paralyzed Perfectionist”
You love structure, depth, and making sure everything is just right. Your content is probably amazing, but nobody knows because it’s all locked in a Google Doc titled “Ideas_Final_V4_ActuallyFinal.docx”. You are standing in your own way because you think every post needs to be a Pulitzer-winning masterpiece.
Your AI Soulmate: ManusAI (As your autonomous executor).
You’ve outgrown basic chatbots. You need an autonomous agent like ManusAI that doesn’t just chat, but actually does the work. Give it your messy, overthought brain dump and let it autonomously structure, format, and prepare the final piece. Stop overthinking and let Manus execute. Hit publish before you have time to regret it.
Mostly B: The “Chaotic Muse”
You are driven entirely by vibes and caffeine. When inspiration strikes, you are a force of nature. But consistency? Never heard of her. You treat your content calendar like a loose suggestion, and your audience never knows if they’re getting three posts today or radio silence until next month.
Your AI Soulmate: KlingAI & Midjourney.
You are visually driven and hate staring at blank pages! Use AI to generate aesthetic, scroll-stopping visuals first. Once you have the vibe right, the words will follow. (Also, please build a simple “Idea Dump” folder on your phone so you have backup when the muse decides to take a vacation).
Mostly C: The “Frankenstein Automator”
You love efficiency so much that you’ve automated the soul right out of your business. Why write a heartfelt caption when a bot can do it in 0.2 seconds? You’ve built so many workflows that you’re not entirely sure what’s posting where anymore. Your audience wants to connect with you, not your perfectly optimized funnels.
Your AI Soulmate: n8n (But with a heart).
You already have the tech down. Your next level is to make your automations actually sound human. Spend less time building new Zaps and more time training your AI models on your actual brand voice. Add a little soul to that server room before your audience thinks you’ve been replaced by a toaster.
So, which one are you? (And yes, it’s okay if you felt personally attacked by more than one of these).
Whether you’re overthinking every comma, riding the chaotic wave of inspiration, or automating yourself out of a job—the perfect creator system is the one that actually gets you to hit “publish.”
Speaking of vibes... if you need a little playful guidance for your day (and not your content strategy): In yesterday’s edition of The Drop, I introduced my new Vibe Check Oracle. It’s a fun, interactive little app where you draw a card to get your daily dose of inspiration and discover exactly what kind of energy you should bring to your day. It’s basically a magic 8-ball for your soul. Definitely check it out!
