Why this stack exists

Podcast stacks work best when AI handles the repeatable layers around the show without replacing the human center of the conversation.

Stack principle

Each tool needs a clear role, a clear handoff, and a clear reason to stay.

These pages are designed to become the future handoff layer for an interactive advisor that recommends complete AI stacks by situation.
