Integrations are the most underrated growth channel in software. This is the playbook for building them the right way — the partnerships, the engineering, and the distribution physics that make your product the one customers can't rip out.
Stop prompting. Start delegating. Move from one-off chats with Claude to complete, connected, governed business jobs — Cowork, Claude Code, Skills, Projects, Artifacts, MCP, Plugins, and agents wired into the real work. Ships with a massive resource vault of skills, project templates, MCP servers, and agent blueprints.
Turn ChatGPT from a chatbot into a personal and company-wide operating layer — ChatGPT Work, Skills, Agents, Plugins, Codex, Projects, Deep Research, and Sites, deployed as real business systems. Ships with a massive resource vault of prompt libraries, custom GPTs, agent recipes, and playbook templates.
"I don't write theory. I write down what worked, what broke, and what I'd do differently — while the bruises are still fresh."
Justin Brian Smith is the founder and CEO of Contractor+, the operating system for build and service contractors — and the author of four business books written from inside the arena.
His books aren't recycled frameworks. Agentic Software came from shipping AI agents into production. Cookie-Led Growth came from discovering that delighting humans converts better than cold outreach. The Perpetual Raise came from running fundraising like a pipeline instead of a panic. The High-Growth Contractor came from serving thousands of contractors and noticing what the winners do differently.
Next up: Impossible To Say No — integrations as a growth strategy — plus Claude AI for Business: The 10X Playbook and ChatGPT for Business: The 10X Playbook, a practical pair for turning AI from a chatbot into a business operating layer.
Everything in the books gets pressure-tested here first.
