Don’t Use AI. Work With It.

The AI Workbench Authority System

Governing AI Execution Safely, Reliably, and Profitably

Most AI advice leaves you playing with tools. This is where you deploy AI execution systems that ship work.

Here you’ll learn how to:

  • Build AI Workflow Automation that drives results.

  • Apply Strategic AI Systems across operations, content, and product development.

  • Use Prompt Engineering for Business to produce consistent, on-brand output.

DonaldJClaxton.com isn’t a blog.

It’s a build site.

It runs on the same AI workflows I use daily to:

  • Build real products and brands

  • Create content that converts

  • Train custom GPTs that run like staff

  • Teach others how to work with AI—not just try it

This site exists to give you leverage—not lectures.

Your Title Goes Here

Who am I?

I’m Donald J. Claxton — an INTJ, lifelong learner, recognized iconoclast, political strategist, and founder of Wood Shoppe 2.0.

I treat AI as a teammate, not a toy. I use it daily to:

  • Build and market real-world products

  • Train custom GPTs for business, messaging, and design

  • Run ecommerce, create content, and develop brand strategy

  • Turn raw ideas into finished work

I don’t just use or experiment with AI —
I operate with it.

Now I’m building this site to help you do the same.
No hype. No distractions. No wasted motion.

Donald J Claxton builds and operates across multiple brands—Five Star Puzzles, The Ameriquins™, and Wood Shoppe 2.0—using AI to produce handcrafted, strategic work every day.
