With hundreds of new AI tools and features being launched every week, it’s hard to keep up. To know what’s worth setting up, and what’s not.

We've rebuilt the NCF site from the ground up to make that easier.

Our new site has 3 main sections (with new content being added daily):

→ Tools/Deals: A curated directory of no-code and AI tools, with deals negotiated directly with many of the platforms. Some are available to all members. Others are Pro-only.

→ Guides: Step-by-step walkthroughs for building with AI and no-code.

→ Blueprints: Ready-to-use templates you can copy straight into your own stack. n8n and Make workflows, ChatGPT prompt packs, Claude Skills, Notion templates - all built for founders and operators who want to skip the setup.

The newsletter format has been updated to match. Each week you'll get a featured deal, a blueprint, newly published guides, and other practical content. Plus, community features coming soon.

To kick off the new format, this week we have:

→ Blueprint: Founder Operating System 10 page Notion template - PRO

→ Deal: 30% off Carrd for all NCF members

→ Guide: Fable 5 vs Opus (Reviewing Claude’s new model)

Notion Template → Copy now

Founder OS is a Notion template that helps founders run no-code-powered businesses effectively. Launching and growing a business is hard work. Managing your time and resources is even harder. That's why we've created an Operating System that helps you plan, track, strategize and monitor your business every step of the way.

One of our go-to landing page builders is Carrd. With its insanely low price of $19 per year, it’s an amazing way to test ideas for next to nothing.

On top of that, the Carrd team are super kind and have given NCF members an additional 30% off, so yes, you can launch multiple sites for around $13 for a full year.

Anthropic just released Fable 5, the most capable model it's ever made public. The launch posts are full of "this changes everything" energy. For most of what you do, it's overkill. But there's a free window worth using before it closes.

Here's the honest breakdown.

Use it for:

Skip it for: quick questions, drafts, summaries, social posts. Sonnet handles those for far less.

Two catches. Fable 5 counts as double usage against your plan limits, so a long session burns through your allowance fast. And it's only free on Pro, Max, and Team plans through June 22. After that, you pay per use, and it adds up quickly.

So if you've got a big build sitting on your list, run it now while it's free.

If you’re looking for more value from your NCF membership, Pro membership gives you access to:

Currently discounted to $149/lifetime with a price increase coming soon.
