My doctor asked me to track my blood pressure for a month because it was on the high side before prescribing any medication. I initially recorded each reading manually in an Excel sheet, but after a few days, I wanted a simpler way to enter and manage the data. I uploaded the sheet to Claude Code and asked it to build a blood pressure tracking app. After the app was built, I hosted it on Netlify, used Supabase as the backend to save data for both my wife and me, and added it to my iPhone Home Screen. Step-by-step: 1. I started tracking my blood pressure in an Excel sheet as my doctor requested. 2. After several days of entering the readings manually, I uploaded the sheet to Claude Code. 3. I asked Claude Code to build an app for tracking blood pressure. 4. I hosted the app on Netlify. 5. I used Supabase as the backend to save blood pressure data for both my wife and me. 6. I saved the app to my iPhone Home Screen for easier access.

I teach and direct a required general education public speaking class at a small college. I’ve built the course around critical inquiry, critical thinking, and public advocacy of a localized problem. Over the years, I’ve noticed that students are increasingly reluctant to engage with the underlying problem. They are often content to identify a problem with enough certainty that they assume their perspective is obviously shared by everyone else. They may also believe that their preferred sources are more certain or credible, leading them to build a case based only on their limited perspectives. With the help of ChatGPT, I built an AI tool that guides students through the problem- and solution-discovery process. It begins with a general question: “what is your topic and what is the problem?” Students often respond with a one-word or incomplete answer, such as “poverty,” “crime,” or “the high cost of education.” These answers do not identify the topic’s deeper dimensions, the extent of the harm, or who is affected by the issue. The AI pushes back on these statements and helps students explore the issue in greater depth. It consistently asks, “what do you mean by x?” I constrained the AI to draw most of its knowledge from the coursepack I wrote for the class, which outlines the assignments, lessons, and instructional content. This keeps the tone of the interaction and the examples provided to students aligned with the overall feel of the course. The AI does not create speeches, make outlines, or find sources for students. Instead, it asks questions that help them refine the direction of their speeches. Whenever possible, the AI also identifies alternative viewpoints from sources traditionally associated with the student’s own perspective. For example, if a student is advocating a progressive viewpoint, the AI may identify statements or research from progressive sources that disagree with that perspective. If the student is advocating a conservative viewpoint, it may identify statements or research from conservative thinkers that challenge the student’s position. This helps students recognize the complexity of ideas and understand that people on the same political, religious, or ideological side do not necessarily agree on every topic. As is often the case when I build GPTs, the 8,000-character limit requires me to move many instructions into a document that I upload to the GPT’s resources. ChatGPT is helpful when I decide which content belongs in the configuration and which content can go in an uploaded document. Step-by-step: 1. I designed the public speaking course around critical inquiry, critical thinking, and public advocacy of a localized problem. 2. I identified a recurring challenge: students often named broad topics such as “poverty,” “crime,” or “the high cost of education” without exploring the depth of the issue, the degree of harm, or who is affected. 3. With help from ChatGPT, I built an AI tool that begins by asking, “what is your topic and what is the problem?” 4. I configured the AI to push back on incomplete answers by repeatedly asking, “what do you mean by x?” 5. I constrained the AI to draw most of its knowledge from my coursepack, including the class assignments, lessons, and instructional content. 6. I instructed the AI to guide students with questions rather than create speeches, make outlines, or find sources for them. 7. I configured it to identify alternative viewpoints, including disagreements from sources traditionally associated with the student’s own political, religious, or ideological perspective. 8. Because of the 8,000-character limit, I moved some instructions into a document uploaded to the GPT’s resources and used ChatGPT to help decide what belonged in the configuration and what belonged in the document.

I built a weekly interactive training-course generator for my 10-year-old son and eventually landed on a much simpler final version than where I started. I wanted a way to teach him practical safety and life skills, starting with how to swim confidently and what to do if he gets into trouble in the water. I needed something more engaging than simply talking at him, but writing a polished, interactive lesson from scratch every week was not sustainable. First, Claude and I designed a single interactive HTML course as a proof of concept. It was a swim-safety course with a branded look, including a custom color palette, fonts, and a progress tracker styled like pool lanes. The course was divided into modules: a welcome screen, a comfort-and-basics lesson, a step-by-step skills walkthrough, a safety checklist, a “what to do if something goes wrong” module, a quiz, and a certificate at the end. The “what to do if something goes wrong” module was the most important part. Once the course worked, I wanted to reuse the same format for a new topic every week. Claude first built a version that called the Claude API live from inside the page to generate new content on demand. However, it only worked while the page stayed open inside Claude.ai, and occasionally a section failed to generate cleanly. We pivoted to a simpler approach. Instead of using a live tool, Claude documented the entire course format—including the visual identity, module structure, tone, and content rules—as a standing “brief” document. Each week, I open Claude Cowork, paste in the brief and that week’s topic—bike safety, fire safety, or whatever is next—and Cowork returns a finished, fully self-contained HTML file. There is no app to babysit and no live API call; I can simply open the file and hand it to my son. The result is a repeatable, no-maintenance weekly workflow for turning any topic into a polished interactive lesson for my kid. Step-by-step: 1. I identified a need for more engaging lessons on practical safety and life skills, starting with swimming and water safety. 2. I worked with Claude to create a proof-of-concept interactive HTML swim-safety course. 3. I structured the course into a welcome screen, comfort-and-basics lesson, skills walkthrough, safety checklist, emergency-response module, quiz, and certificate. 4. I tested a live-generation version that called the Claude API from inside the page, then noted that it only worked while open inside Claude.ai and that sections sometimes failed to generate cleanly. 5. I had Claude document the course’s visual identity, module structure, tone, and content rules in a reusable brief. 6. Each week, I open Claude Cowork, provide the brief and a new topic, and receive a finished, self-contained HTML course file. 7. I open the file and give the interactive lesson to my son without maintaining an app or making live API calls.

How I Use AI: Building a Client's Entire Document System From Scratch I run a boutique accounting practice, and one of my biotech clients — a preclinical oncology company — needed something I didn't have time to build by hand: a real, standardized document management system in SharePoint. Not just folders, but the rules behind the folders — a tagging taxonomy, a naming standard, guides for the team to actually follow it, and a clean way to organize documents for every vendor we work with. The kind of project that's easy to keep putting off because it's tedious, not because it's hard. So I used Perplexity's Computer agent as a genuine working partner on it, not just a search tool. Where it started I already had a first draft of a Tagging Taxonomy and a Document Management Standards document. I asked Computer to review both with an eye toward what a real accounting/finance team would actually need — GAAP-heavy, audit-ready, built for a lean biotech team that's going to scale fast. It came back with concrete recommendations (new functional areas I hadn't accounted for, cleaner naming conventions), and once I gave the go-ahead, it revised both documents into new, cleaner versions — taxonomy v1.1, standards v5.4 — complete with version histories so nothing got lost in the shuffle. Then it went further than I expected: 13 "START HERE" guide files, one for every top-level folder area, each explaining not just what goes where but why, with real examples. That's the part that actually makes a standard stick — nobody follows a rulebook they don't understand. Where it got real Here's the part I'd actually tell someone about: I tried uploading the whole folder structure to the client's SharePoint through the browser, and it failed — quietly, no big error, just close to 100 folders silently missing afterward. I was frustrated, and I said so. Computer didn't get defensive about it — it dug into why, compared the folders that made it against the ones that didn't, found the exact character-length boundary where things broke, and built me a PowerShell script that would fix it if I needed it. Then, while I was testing a fix, I discovered the real answer myself: dragging the folder from my hard drive straight into the OneDrive-linked folder in File Explorer worked perfectly, no script needed at all. When I told Computer that, it didn't just take my word for it — it went and calculated the actual path lengths involved to confirm why that method worked and the browser upload didn't, so I understood the real mechanism instead of just getting lucky once. That back-and-forth — me testing in the real world, it verifying the "why" — is honestly the most useful part of working with it. It's not just generating stuff and hoping it's right. The vendor folder win The last piece was the most tedious one I was dreading: building a dedicated document folder — vendor master file, agreements, POs, invoices, correspondence, the works — for every vendor worth tracking. I pulled a vendor spend report out of QuickBooks, sorted by dollar volume, and picked out the real vendors (CROs, law firms, key consultants) versus the noise (hotels, gas stations, one-off restaurant charges). I handed that list over, and Computer built me a script that took it from there: cleaned up messy vendor names (ampersands, apostrophes, trailing punctuation — all the stuff that breaks Windows folder names), handled the one legal name that was way too long automatically, and made sure nothing silently failed the way the original upload did. It tested the script against my actual vendor list before ever handing it to me, so I wasn't the guinea pig for its own bugs. 133 vendors, 1,463 subfolders, dropped into staging, dragged to OneDrive, and the count matched exactly — 1,474 on the nose once you add back the original template folder. That's not a "looks about right" number. That's a number I checked, twice. Why it's worth it Building this by hand for BreakthruMed Inc. — the folder architecture, the governance docs, 13 training guides, and a dedicated set of folders for 133 vendors — would realistically have taken me a couple of weeks of solid, focused work, not the few days I first assumed. Instead, it took about 28 hours spread across three weeks of back-and-forth, testing, and real-world validation, plus roughly $200 in extra usage on top of my regular subscription. That's a real cost, but a small one next to two or three weeks of my own time — and what I walked away with wasn't just a folder tree. It was a governance framework, training material my team can actually use, and two reusable scripts I'll put to work on the next client — a system I trust, because I checked it, and it checked itself

What do you do when your wife says you talk about AI too much? You listen to her, and when she has a problem, you frantically write it down and build it with AI. My wife enjoys working with her plants in the warm sun and light breeze of the Carolina mountains. She’s new to gardening and learning more each day, but she was having trouble keeping track of everything. Which tree did she plant in the front yard last year? It seemed to be struggling—would it do better somewhere else? And would rain reach the potted flowering planters while we were out of town, or would she need to find someone to help? I used Claude Code and Fable to develop an app that my wife could run on her phone, with all the data stored locally. Now she’s excited about “her app” and the things she can add to it. She has even shared it with others, including people across the country, so we added climate zone settings to make it useful in other parts of the country. 😂 Step-by-step: 1. I listened to my wife’s gardening challenges and wrote down the problems she wanted to solve. 2. I used Claude Code and Fable to develop a gardening app for her phone. 3. I designed the app to keep all the data stored locally. 4. I built in a way to track plants, including which tree was planted in the front yard and how it was doing. 5. I accounted for questions about rain and the care of potted flowering planters while we were out of town. 6. After my wife shared the app with people across the country, I added climate zone settings so it could be useful in other regions.

Most AI agents start with someone writing a prompt from scratch. I wanted a better way. So I built an Agent Creator. I describe the kind of agent I need, and it determines whether I actually need a new one, figures out how that agent should work, creates it, and adds it to the rest of my agent team. Step-by-step: 1. I describe what I need by telling the Agent Creator what I want the new agent to do. 2. It checks what already exists by reviewing my existing agents and skills. If something already does most of the job, it recommends improving or reusing that instead of creating another overlapping agent. 3. If a new skill is needed, it researches the role, including current best practices, common mistakes, useful tools, and what good work looks like in that area. 4. It creates the agent by defining its job, required information, outputs, available tools, and the steps it should follow. 5. It gives the agent the right skills by creating or reusing supporting skills, including examples, reference material, and checks that help it work consistently. 6. It sets clear boundaries so the agent knows what it should handle, what it should not handle, and when another agent should take over. 7. If the new agent belongs in an existing workflow, it adds the agent to the team by updating the handoffs so the other agents know when to use it. 8. Before finishing, it checks the agent’s work by running validation checks to confirm that the new agent follows the standards I’ve set for the whole team. The result is that I don’t have to manually design every new agent from scratch. I can describe the kind of help I need, and one agent can research the role, create the new specialist, connect it to the rest of the system, and make sure it’s ready to use. In other words, I built an AI agent that can help grow its own team.

Turn a collection of documents, reports, spreadsheets, and notes into an evidence-backed decision brief with ChatGPT. Instead of asking AI to simply summarize the information, this workflow makes it identify what matters, connect the evidence, compare it with historical context, explore scenarios, and highlight what should be considered before making a decision. Step-by-step: 1. I gather the information relevant to one decision, including reports, PDFs, spreadsheets, research, historical data, meeting notes, and existing analysis. I upload everything into ChatGPT. 2. I ask ChatGPT to understand the situation using this prompt: > “Analyze the information I provided and build a structured understanding of the situation. Identify the key entities, important facts, relationships, metrics, trends, assumptions, and constraints. Do not make recommendations yet.” This creates the context before jumping to conclusions. 3. I build an evidence brief by asking: > “Create an evidence brief. Separate verified facts, derived insights, assumptions, conflicting information, and missing information. For every important conclusion, identify the supporting source or evidence.” This gives me a clearer picture of what is known versus what is inferred. 4. I add historical context when it is available by asking: > “Compare the current situation with the historical information provided. Identify meaningful patterns, similarities, differences, and changes. Highlight which historical observations could be relevant to the current decision.” This turns historical data into context rather than simply another report. 5. I explore three scenarios by asking ChatGPT: > “Based on the evidence and historical context, evaluate three scenarios: upside, base case, and downside. For each scenario, identify the assumptions, key drivers, risks, likely impact, and evidence supporting the assessment.” The objective isn't to pretend the future can be predicted perfectly. It is to understand how the decision changes when assumptions change. 6. I generate the decision brief by asking: > “Create a concise decision brief containing: > > 1. Current situation > 2. Most important evidence > 3. Key insights > 4. Historical context > 5. Critical assumptions > 6. Key risks > 7. Scenario analysis > 8. Evidence gaps and uncertainties > 9. Questions that should be investigated > 10. Possible actions and their implications. > Do not make the final decision on my behalf.” This produces a structured decision brief instead of another AI-generated summary. 7. I review the brief and challenge its conclusions before making the decision. I ask follow-up questions such as: > “Which assumption has the greatest impact on this decision?” > “Show me the strongest evidence against the current conclusion.” > “What information would most likely change the recommendation?” The AI helps structure the decision, but I make the decision. The important shift is: Summarize the information → Understand the situation → Establish the evidence → Add historical context → Explore scenarios → Evaluate the decision This approach can be applied to almost any domain where decisions depend on complex and interconnected information. A property investment is one example. A business strategy, product decision, operational problem, financial analysis, research question, or engineering decision can follow the same pattern.

I used ChatGPT to help me manage my health care. I have multiple diagnoses, including CHF, CKD, pulmonary hypertension, lupus, a metabolic disorder, and kidney cancer. I gave ChatGPT access to my medical history and began using it to review my test results and prioritize questions for my doctors. On a recent lab report, my platelet count was low. ChatGPT reviewed six years of results and showed me that it had consistently been low, with the latest result below the threshold. It helps me identify which questions to ask and which of my six doctors I should address about each report. This has transformed the way I’m able to manage my care. Step-by-step: 1. I gave ChatGPT access to my medical history. 2. I used it to review my test results and prioritize questions about my health. 3. I asked it to look at a recent lab report showing a low platelet count. 4. ChatGPT reviewed six years of results and showed that my platelet count had consistently been low, with the latest result below the threshold. 5. I used the information to identify which questions to ask and which of my six doctors to contact about the report.

I’m 71 years old, retired from owning a large cattle-feeding operation, and fairly new to AI and software development. I’ve discovered that I really enjoy using AI to build practical tools in Replit. My latest project is an app for our church to help us oversee a $13.5 million renovation of a 65,000-square-foot former movie theater into our new church facility. I’m not a programmer or a construction expert, so I’m using AI to help bridge both gaps. I built the app almost entirely by describing in plain English what I wanted it to do, testing what it built, and working back and forth with AI to improve it. The app uses AI to read meeting notes, emails, texts, and general project updates and identify decisions, action items, important dates, budget changes, and project events. Nothing is accepted automatically. I review, edit, approve, or reject what AI finds before it becomes part of the project record. The app also keeps our budgets, documents, meetings, and project history together. My goal isn’t to replace our project manager or construction software. I want to see whether someone my age, with no programming or construction background, can use AI to build a useful tool for helping an owner understand and manage a complicated real-world project. Step-by-step: 1. I described in plain English what I wanted the app to do. 2. I used AI in Replit to build the app based on those descriptions. 3. I tested what AI built and worked back and forth with it to improve the app. 4. I designed the app to read meeting notes, emails, texts, and general project updates. 5. I use it to identify decisions, action items, important dates, budget changes, and project events. 6. I review, edit, approve, or reject every item before it becomes part of the project record. 7. I use the app to keep our budgets, documents, meetings, and project history together.

I submit two reports to my directors each month. Both use structured templates, but the updates come from multiple people and sources. Some information is unstructured, such as hallway conversations that are not always captured in email, so I have struggled to get the accuracy I need when using AI to build the reports. I am currently testing CoWork and Copilot Work IQ. These reports used to take me hours, so I am already saving time, but I want to refine the process further. I believe a better way to save and store the source data could improve the final outputs, although I have not worked out the right approach yet. Step-by-step: 1. I collect updates from multiple people and sources for the two monthly reports. 2. I organize the information into the structured templates required by my directors. 3. I use CoWork and Copilot Work IQ to help build the reports. 4. I account for unstructured updates, including information from hallway conversations that may not have been captured in email. 5. I am exploring better ways to save and store the source data so I can improve the accuracy of the reports while continuing to save time.

I've been thinking about the value of handoff documents and explanatory documents as we continue exploring efficient ways to work alongside AI to build software and improve communication. Even though we use many different tools, Markdown still has an important place. This new version of an HTML handoff document can document what exists, describe what could exist, or serve as a mockup for a brainstorm. It lets us communicate with remarkable fidelity through visuals, hierarchy, and formatting. It's also an efficient format for AI to understand. We shouldn't underestimate the significance of AI communicating with us through a visual medium. A visual flowchart with thoughtful design, layout, animation, and progressive disclosure can help us understand the logic and flow of incredibly complex systems much faster. I tried all kinds of tools, including React Flow and Mermaid. They're fun to experiment with, but Archify is a game changer for this use case. I can point it at any technology, repository, or brainstorm and work with it to build flowcharts with animations and clean, distinctive design. It's also completely free. https://tt-a1i.github.io/archify/# Step-by-step: 1. I identify whether I need to document what exists, explore what could exist, or mock up a brainstorm. 2. I use Markdown and an HTML handoff document to communicate the ideas with visuals, hierarchy, and formatting. 3. I consider tools such as React Flow and Mermaid for creating visual representations. 4. I point Archify at the relevant technology, repository, or brainstorm. 5. I work with Archify to develop a flowchart with animations, clean design, and progressive disclosure so the system's logic and flow are easier to understand.

AI image prompting often starts online: search for a style, collect references, describe them, and generate. But your visual vocabulary can also begin in the physical world—a plant, a tile, a book cover, a strange facade, a piece of furniture, or a detail in a church. This workflow turns everyday discoveries into a personal prompt library. AI helps investigate and translate what catches my attention, while I decide what matters. Step-by-step: 1. When something catches my eye, I photograph it and record where I found it and why it interested me. I do not need to understand my attraction immediately. It might be, “This plant has fascinating leaves,” “Who is the writer quoted on this tile?” or “Is it the copper, its patina, or the reflected light that I like?” Attention comes before classification. 2. I ask AI to help identify unfamiliar materials, objects, plants, techniques, or historical connections. A tile might lead to a writer, a literary movement, typography, or metalworking techniques. I preserve the original context—including the location, date, material, maker if known, and my observations—and mark uncertain identifications as uncertain. 3. I separate each object from what makes it visually interesting. For example: - Source: Plant with folded leaves. Principle: Layered fan-like forms with radial repetition. - Source: Weathered copper plaque. Principle: Warm metallic surface, uneven oxidation, and shallow relief. - Source: Facade with irregular windows. Principle: Repeated vertical rhythm interrupted by asymmetry. - Source: Green and coral book cover. Principle: Muted green with a single warm coral accent. This lets me reuse the visual logic without copying the object. 4. I translate each visual principle into concise, reusable prompt fragments, such as: - “Fan-like folded forms with radial repetition” - “Aged copper with dark patina and shallow embossed texture” - “Regular architectural rhythm interrupted by one off-grid element” - “Muted green field with one warm coral accent” These descriptions give me more control than generic words such as “beautiful,” “organic,” or “vintage.” One object can produce multiple fragments related to typography, surface, colour, proportion, lighting, or composition. 5. I store the entries in a document, database, or tagged visual archive. Useful fields include the reference, photo, location, date, what caught my attention, identification and research notes, visual principle, prompt-ready fragment, tags, related references, and confidence. I tag entries by visual function, such as colour, material, texture, rhythm, lighting, or composition, and always preserve links to the original reference. 6. I connect discoveries that may share underlying principles. Folded leaves, pleated fabric, ribbed metal, and fan-shaped architecture might express similar structural rhythms. I ask AI which relationships are visually meaningful, which are superficial, and which could combine well. The library becomes a connected visual vocabulary rather than a collection of isolated images. 7. When creating an image, I select references according to what they contribute. For example, a plant can provide shape language, copper can provide surface and lighting, a facade can provide compositional rhythm, and a book cover can provide colour balance. I ask AI to explain each contribution and remove references without a clear purpose. The goal is not to place all four objects into one image, but to combine their visual principles into something new. 8. I keep collecting and refining. A walk, museum, garden, or café can introduce new references. I update entries when I discover better information and preserve personal reactions, even when the only explanation is, “I just really like this.” Repeated attraction can reveal a personal visual vocabulary I had not consciously recognised. The workflow is: Notice → Capture → Investigate → Extract visual principles → Translate → Store → Connect → Reuse → Refine. AI does not have to be where inspiration begins. The world can stay upstream. A plant can start a prompt. A tile can start a research trail. A material can become a lighting instruction. A facade can become a composition rule. A book cover can become a colour recipe. I notice. AI helps unpack, translate, and connect. The prompt library becomes the bridge between seeing something in the world and being able to use what I saw later.

I built a workflow to track my monthly credit card expenses and keep them within my budget. Tracking my expenses is important to me because I want to reach my financial goals through consistency and healthy habits. However, entering each expense manually into Google Sheets was tiring and took several hours. I used Make to automate the process. The workflow reads the email from my bank every time I use my card, gathers the necessary information, converts it to JSON, and adds it to Google Sheets. It runs every six hours, every day, so I no longer need to spend my weekends reviewing expenses. Now I have more free time to build something else and only need a couple of minutes to review Google Sheets and make sure everything is working properly. Step-by-step: 1. I set up a workflow in Make to monitor emails from my bank whenever I use my credit card. 2. The workflow gathers the necessary expense information from each email. 3. It converts the information into JSON format. 4. It adds the expense data to Google Sheets. 5. The workflow runs every six hours, every day. 6. I spend a couple of minutes reviewing Google Sheets to make sure everything is working properly and that my expenses remain within budget.

I built a job application workflow that goes beyond finding vacancies and generating generic CVs. First, GPT helps me scan for vacancies that match my practical requirements, interests, skills, and preferred types of work. The more useful part starts when a vacancy looks genuinely promising. I connected GPT to Canva and created several “base CVs” for the sectors and roles I was interested in. Instead of using one universal template, I designed each CV to fit the visual and cultural tone of a particular type of work. For example, a front-desk role, a back-office administrative position, and an assistant role in a creative company may involve overlapping skills, but they communicate very different expectations. Each base CV therefore uses different layout choices, colour use, visual tone, and photo selection. For every version, I review several possible photos and choose the one that best matches the role and the impression I want to convey. When I apply for a specific vacancy, GPT helps turn the relevant base CV into a more personalized version. Instead of rewriting my entire work history, we emphasize the experience, tasks, strengths, and values that are genuinely most relevant to that role. The same applies to motivation letters. Rather than generating a generic corporate letter, GPT uses a tone of voice shaped through months of conversation with me. The goal is for the application to sound recognizably like me while still matching the language, priorities, and culture of the vacancy. Before building this workflow, I did everything manually. For a vacancy that felt worth applying to, I typically spent around two hours refining the CV and motivation letter alone, not including the time spent searching for the vacancy. Even a small typo in the final application email could undermine hours of careful work. Now, once I decide a vacancy is a good fit, the full personalization process takes around twenty minutes on average. That includes selecting the right base CV, adapting the emphasis, refining the letter, checking the tone, and preparing the final application. The workflow works across several layers: vacancy discovery, role and sector matching, base CV selection, adapting experience and values, adjusting visual tone, personalizing the letter, final review, and application. What I like about this approach is that personalization is not limited to inserting keywords from a vacancy. It includes content, visual identity, emphasis, tone, and context. The result is a small family of CVs rather than one document being stretched awkwardly across every possible job. Each version keeps the same underlying career history while presenting the parts that matter most for a particular type of role. The biggest improvement is not only speed but consistency. The workflow reduces repetitive manual rewriting while keeping each application specific, personal, and carefully matched to the role. It turns roughly two hours of manual polishing per strong vacancy into about twenty minutes of collaborative refinement, with fewer opportunities for small final-stage errors to spoil an otherwise strong application. Step-by-step: 1. I use GPT to scan for vacancies that match my practical requirements, interests, skills, and preferred types of work. 2. When a vacancy looks promising, I identify the relevant sector, role, and type of impression I want to convey. 3. I use Canva and GPT to create and maintain several base CVs, each with its own layout, colour use, visual tone, and photo selection. 4. For each base CV, I review several possible photos and choose the one that best fits the role and the impression I want to convey. 5. I select the base CV that best matches the vacancy. 6. I adapt the CV by emphasizing the experience, tasks, strengths, and values that are genuinely most relevant instead of rewriting my entire work history. 7. I use GPT to personalize the motivation letter in a tone shaped through months of conversation with me, while matching the vacancy’s language, priorities, and culture. 8. I check the tone, review the application for small errors such as typos, and prepare the final application. 9. I complete the personalization process in around twenty minutes on average instead of spending roughly two hours on manual polishing for a strong vacancy.

Yesterday, I built a social media workflow in Awish for a business that wanted to post more consistently without managing three platforms manually. The idea was simple: let Awish understand the business first, then use that context to plan different content for Instagram, LinkedIn, and X instead of reposting the same thing everywhere. I built the entire workflow by describing what I wanted in the Awish chat. Step-by-step: 1. I opened Awish and wrote: “Analyze this business from its website. Based on what the company does, its audience, products, and positioning, create separate content plans for Instagram, LinkedIn, and X. Generate the posts, publish them automatically at the times I choose, analyze how each post performs, and send me the important insights on WhatsApp. I also want to be able to manage the workflow from WhatsApp.” 2. Awish analyzed the website, understood the business, and planned the complete content workflow. 3. I connected the company’s Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and WhatsApp accounts and approved the plan. 4. Awish created a different content strategy for each platform instead of copying the same post everywhere: more visual content for Instagram, business-focused posts for LinkedIn, and shorter, conversation-driven posts for X. 5. I chose the publishing schedule, and Awish started creating and publishing the posts automatically at those times. 6. After publishing, Awish tracked performance and analyzed which topics, formats, and messages were getting the strongest response on each platform. 7. Awish sent me short WhatsApp updates with the important insights, such as which post performed best, what topic was gaining traction, and what it recommended changing next. 8. I could also manage the automation directly from WhatsApp by asking what was scheduled, changing a publishing time, requesting another post, pausing publishing, or asking for the latest performance summary without opening Awish. The useful part for me is that this is not just automatic posting. The workflow starts by understanding the business, treats each social platform differently, learns from what gets published, and keeps the whole process manageable from WhatsApp.

I use Claude Desktop on my Mac, connected to Canva and Metricool, to build and schedule social media posts. I used ChatGPT to help me set everything up because it has more history and access to my company knowledge documents. ChatGPT created instruction files for Claude that provide our company context and guidelines. I pointed Claude to our website, which contains many articles, and connected our Canva and Metricool accounts. We discuss suitable topics to post about. Claude reviews the website for relevant articles or landing pages to link to, then suggests a series of Facebook and Instagram posts. It checks the designs in our Canva account, adjusts them as needed, or asks me for photos and other artwork. Claude then builds the posts in Metricool and saves them as drafts for me to review, following our working rules. I review the drafts and move them to pending. Claude checks that they will publish automatically on the correct date and at the correct time, and it creates links with meaningful UTM parameters. After publishing, I can ask Claude to analyze the results, identify what is working and resonating with my market, and help us test different approaches, content, and topics. Metricool captures the data, and Claude uses it to inform the next round of posts. This saves me hours every week, gives me time to work on other things while Claude handles the process, and produces results that are improving each week. Step-by-step: 1. I used ChatGPT to help configure Claude Desktop and create instruction files containing our company context and guidelines. 2. I connected Claude to our website, Canva account, and Metricool account. 3. I discuss potential topics with Claude, and it finds relevant website articles or landing pages to link to. 4. Claude suggests a series of posts for Facebook and Instagram. 5. Claude reviews our Canva designs, adjusts them when necessary, or asks me for photos and other artwork. 6. Claude builds the posts in Metricool and saves them as drafts for me to review according to our working rules. 7. I review the drafts and move them to pending. 8. Claude checks the publishing date and time and creates links with meaningful UTM parameters. 9. After publication, I ask Claude to analyze the results and identify what is resonating with my market. 10. I use the Metricool data and Claude’s analysis to test different approaches, content, and topics in the next round of posts.

Organic social content is one of the best sources of ideas for ads, so I built a workflow that finds short-form videos performing well in my niches, analyzes why they work, and rewrites the strongest hooks for my brand. Apify scrapes Instagram Reels by hashtag and TikTok videos by keyword across three niches: AI, productivity, and career growth. The workflow filters for English-language videos posted within the last 15 days that are 15–90 seconds long and have more than 50,000 plays. It then ranks them by engagement rate rather than views alone. A simple log file tracks every video I’ve already analyzed, so the workflow doesn’t process the same video twice. ElevenLabs transcribes each video’s audio. Claude then extracts the exact opening line, identifies the hook formula and video structure, and writes a version of the hook for my brand. Everything is compiled into one dated document with the top three discoveries, the strongest hook from the run, and any new patterns I haven’t tried yet. With one command—"Run research"—I get about 20 proven hooks and video structures to test in ads for less than $1 per run. Step-by-step: 1. I use Apify to scrape Instagram Reels by hashtag and TikTok videos by keyword across the AI, productivity, and career growth niches. 2. I filter the results for English-language videos posted within the last 15 days, 15–90 seconds long, with more than 50,000 plays. 3. I rank the remaining videos by engagement rate instead of views alone. 4. I check a log file to skip videos I’ve already analyzed. 5. I use ElevenLabs to transcribe each video’s audio. 6. I ask Claude to extract each video’s exact opening line, hook formula, and structure, then rewrite the hook for my brand. 7. I compile the results into one dated document with the top three discoveries, the strongest hook from the run, and new patterns to test. 8. I run the workflow with the command "Run research" to generate about 20 hooks and video structures for ad testing at a cost of less than $1 per run.

I built a running coach with Claude. After years of using apps to track runs, I wanted something closer to an actual coach instead of just a collection of data points. I opened a Claude Project, connected it to Google Calendar, and gave it standing instructions with real guardrails. It has been my coach for the last six months and has helped me avoid injury while increasing my monthly mileage. It plans my week, logs every run from my watch data, catches when I’m ramping up too quickly, tracks how close my shoes are to retirement, and rewrites my calendar when life disrupts my plans. Step-by-step: 1. I created a Claude Project called “Running Coach.” 2. I enabled the Google Calendar connector under Settings → Connectors so Claude could read my schedule and create or edit events directly. 3. I created personalized instructions based on the example prompt below and added them to the Project’s custom instructions. 4. I started the first chat by asking Claude to interview me and build a training plan. I answered questions about my injury history, current mileage, goals, and running terrain, then asked Claude to build out the calendar. 5. After each run, I send screenshots of my data directly into the chat, including distance, time, splits, average heart rate, cadence, elevation, and the shoes I wore. Claude logs the run, compares it with recent runs, and flags patterns. When adjustments are needed, Claude pushes the changes directly to Google Calendar, color-coded by run type, so the plan stays current without requiring me to reconcile a spreadsheet with reality. 6. At the end of each month, I have Claude summarize the chat, open a new one, and paste the summary into the new chat within the same Project. Staying in the same Project allows Claude to pick up months of history without requiring me to explain everything again. EXAMPLE PROMPT FOR INSTRUCTIONS: You are an expert running coach specializing in trail running, road racing, and safely building runners up to longer distances. Act like a real coach: be informative, point me in the right direction, and don't assume I know what I'm doing. Ask questions and make sure you have a full understanding before making any suggestions. HARD RULES — these are guardrails, not suggestions. Tell me when I'm violating one, even if I push back. - 80/20: roughly 80% of my weekly volume is easy, conversational effort. Only ~20% is hard. - Never increase weekly mileage more than 10% over the previous week. - Every 3rd or 4th week is a cutback week — cut volume by 20-30%. - Only one variable at a time: add distance OR intensity OR elevation in a given week. - Long run stays under ~30% of weekly volume. - Track mileage on each pair of shoes. Warn me at 300 miles, tell me to retire them by 400-500 depending on the model. - If I report pain that changes my gait, that's a stop — not a "run through it." Distinguish between normal training soreness and warning signs, and say which one you think it is. HOW TO COACH ME - Connective tissue adapts slower than cardio. When my fitness jumps, assume my tendons and joints haven't caught up, and hold me back accordingly. - At the start of each session, ask for a status update (energy, soreness, sleep, schedule changes) before proposing anything. - When I paste run data, log it and compare it to recent runs. Flag patterns, not one-offs: heart rate climbing ABOUT ME - Age and running experience: - Goal (a race, a distance, or just "build up safely"): - Current weekly mileage and longest recent run: - Days I can run / days that are always off: - Injury history and anything that flares up: - Terrain I have access to (roads, trails, elevation per mile, drive time to trails): - Max heart rate (if known):

I built a workflow that turns the wines I drink into a personal AI wine journal and sommelier that learns my taste over time. I created a master Google Sheet as the database. It includes the wine, vintage, region, grape varieties, price, rating, food pairing, where I drank it, who I was with, whether I would buy it again, and my own comments. Whenever I drink a wine, I send ChatGPT a photo of the bottle and a voice note with my reaction. I do not try to sound like a wine expert; I simply describe what I actually thought. ChatGPT identifies the wine, structures the information, preserves my original words, and adds the experience to the journal. Over time, ChatGPT uses my previous ratings and comments to understand my palate and make recommendations specifically for me. I can show it a restaurant wine list or a few bottles in a shop and ask which I am most likely to enjoy. I can also tell it what I am cooking and ask which bottle from my collection I should open. I record the context and memories around each bottle, so the system is gradually becoming both a wine database and a personal diary. Step-by-step: 1. I created a master Google Sheet to store details about each wine, including the vintage, region, grape varieties, price, rating, food pairing, location, company, whether I would buy it again, and my comments. 2. Whenever I drink a wine, I take a photo of the bottle and send ChatGPT a voice note describing my reaction in my own words. 3. ChatGPT identifies the wine, structures the details, preserves my original comments, and adds the experience to the journal. 4. I record the context and memories associated with each bottle. 5. As the journal grows, ChatGPT uses my ratings and comments to build a better understanding of my palate. 6. I ask ChatGPT for personalized recommendations from restaurant wine lists, bottles in shops, or my own collection based on what I am cooking.
