01 — ABOUT

I'm Miranda — a content director that runs the public face for Allie K. Miller at Open Machine: the websites, the landing pages, the copy across web, email and social, the ads, the reels, the captions, the funnels that turn viewers into subscribers and subscribers into customers.

I've spent the last two years reworking my craft around AI. Every prompt I write twice becomes a skill and every skill that proves itself becomes an agent or automated workflow. The agents I use most run overnight, so when I open my laptop in the morning, the analytics are imported, the captions are drafted, and the brand voice is already locked in.

Alongside this, I teach topics like cognition, memory, human development, and psychological disorders at the college level. Turns out: designing for how people pay attention is a pretty good prerequisite for content that converts.

03 — HOW I WORK

My AI stack runs on three layers.

Layer 01 / Skills

Templated prompts > Reusable skills

Anything I prompt twice gets refactored into a skill that's versioned, on-brand, and reusable. Brand voice, platform-based tone, caption shapes, CMS updates, sales-page scaffolds, and more.

  • Brand-voice guardrails
  • Caption + hook templates
  • Landing-page scaffolds
  • Email sequence patterns
Layer 02 / Agents

Horizontal agents that update overnight

Long-running AI agents do the boring, repeatable work while I sleep, like research, drafting, repurposing, asset prep, so my mornings start halfway through the to-do list.

  • Overnight content drafting
  • Repurposing reels → posts → email
  • Competitor + analytics digests
  • Big AI News flags with auto drafted posts
Layer 03 / MCP

Vertical agents wired into my exact tools

Claude Code with MCP connectors gives me agents that actually do things, like pull our newsletter analytics, push them into a goal-tracker, browse the web, draft and stage in CMS.

  • Browser agent → analytics → Excel
  • CMS + Beehiiv staging
  • Notion + Drive context
  • Custom MCPs for content ops
