playbook
A draft of the artifact the job description says I'll write.
I work best with a lot of ownership and little process, which is what the JD describes. Give me a target and I'll move fast and write the decisions down as I go. So rather than tell you I'd write the AI Builders partner playbook, I had a go at it: six partners scored, a four-tier ladder, an answer to Neon's Agent Plan, the free-tier arithmetic, and a dated first 90 days.
Draft 0.1 · July 2026
Written as part of an application for Strategic Partner Manager at Supabase. Every claim is either cited to a public source or stored in the Postgres database behind this site. Ask the chat to interrogate any of it.
supabase native
I run my whole working life on Supabase.
kern · personal AI OS · supabase-native
My agent has run my working life on one Supabase Postgres project since 8 April 2026. Press GO and it will show you the receipts.
$ status: sealed · 10 figures inside
next step
That's the pitch.
The playbook is drafted, the numbers are on the cards above, and the Supabase knowledge comes from running my own production on it since April and writing down everything that broke. Every claim here is a row in a database you can query yourself. Let's chat.
I'm in Cape Town, UTC+2: a full working-day overlap with EMEA and a workable overlap with US mornings. I ran Thingiverse from here for a US-centred company, so I know the setup works. Pick any slot that suits your timezone.
