Build a 24-hour company brief that writes in my voice

I have a Daily Brief agent on Codex with access to my Slack, Gmail, Notion, and Google Drive that checks everything that happened in the last 24 hours on request. It sends me the brief through Slack, and I do maybe 10% of the final manual editing. I also gave it several examples of before/after editing, so now it sends messages in my exact voice and style. Step-by-step: 1. I connected my Daily Brief agent in Codex to Slack, Gmail, Notion, and Google Drive. 2. I told it to review activity from the last 24 hours and pull out the items that actually needed attention. 3. I structured the output as a concise brief and had Codex deliver it through Slack. 4. I manually reviewed the draft and made the final edits before using it. 5. I gave the agent before-and-after examples of those edits so future briefs would sound more like my own voice.

Automate Security Risk Assessment Reports in 15 Minutes

Earlier in my career, I spent a significant amount of time delivering security risk assessments. These engagements typically took 8–12 weeks from the initial client meeting to the final report, with complex projects often stretching to 3–4 months. Today, I can produce reports of comparable quality in 1–2 days. The automation runs end-to-end in about 15 minutes; I spend the remaining time reviewing and validating the output. The workflow starts with a structured questionnaire and uses ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Make.com, Google Drive, and Gamma.ai to research, draft, format, and deliver the report. This compresses the delivery timeline while preserving quality and lets me focus on expert judgment, validation, and client communication instead of manual report production. Step-by-step: 1. I have the client visit a web page and complete a structured questionnaire built on Lovable.dev. 2. The submitted information triggers an automated Make.com workflow. 3. ChatGPT analyzes the client’s responses. 4. Perplexity conducts targeted research tailored to the client’s industry, context, and risk profile. 5. Claude drafts the report and saves it to Google Drive. 6. The draft is passed to Gamma.ai, which generates the final client-ready report. 7. I receive the report by email, perform a thorough review, and send it to the client once I approve it. 8. I use the time saved to focus on expert judgment, output validation, and client communication.

Documentary film archival research bot

I’m researching two separate documentary films. For each project, the bot runs three web crawls and one health check every day. Based on my notes, scripts, and other existing initial research, it identifies research domains by theme and media type, favoring audio and images while applying a higher threshold to other documents. Anything scoring eight or higher is logged in Notion and downloaded automatically when possible. The bot cycles through different themes, and the health check adjusts the similarity threshold based on the results. If many items score eight, it may log and download only nines. If fewer qualifying items appear, it may begin downloading sevens. Most items cannot be downloaded because they are inaccessible to the bot, but they are still logged and linked. I review the items in Notion and mark each one according to criteria such as “people only for research” or “reject—permissions required.” It isn’t a full replacement for professional archival research, but I feel it’s getting me 90% of the way there. As an independent filmmaker, this is a huge benefit. Each morning, it sends me a synopsis, and each week, it sends me a list of pre-written emails to send to archives that require human interaction. Step-by-step: 1. I provide the bot with my notes, scripts, and existing initial research for each documentary project. 2. For each project, the bot runs three web crawls and one health check every day. 3. It identifies research domains by theme and media type, with a preference for audio and images and a higher threshold for other documents. 4. It logs items scoring eight or higher in Notion and automatically downloads them when possible. 5. It cycles through different themes and uses the health check to adjust the similarity threshold: it may focus on nines when many eights appear, or begin downloading sevens when fewer qualifying items appear. 6. It logs and links items that cannot be downloaded because they are inaccessible to the bot. 7. I review each item in Notion and mark it according to criteria such as “people only for research” or “reject—permissions required.” 8. Each morning, I receive a synopsis, and each week, I receive pre-written emails for archives that require human interaction.

Used Claude to formulate, batch, and label a DIY high-carb cycling mix at one-quarter the cost of commercial mixes

I fed Claude my sweat-test data, and it formulated a DIY high-carb cycling mix tuned to my sweat chemistry. It also scaled the batch to match my available supplies and generated print-ready labels and batch sheets. Step-by-step: 1. I provided Claude with my sweat-test data. 2. I used Claude to formulate a DIY high-carb cycling mix tuned to my sweat chemistry. 3. I had Claude scale the batch to match my available supplies. 4. I had Claude generate print-ready labels and batch sheets.

Build a San Diego Startup Company Map with Claude and Google Sheets

San Diego County is enormous, and its startup scene is growing rapidly. I wanted a better way to see where companies are located, especially because many of them host networking events and there was no central map or repository. I told Claude what I wanted: an alphabetical directory with an industry selector and a way for people to add their own companies. I also asked it to keep the project as simple as possible, use as few tokens as possible, and wait for my approval before taking any action. Claude helped me design the map, create the Google Form for submissions, set up the Google Sheets workflow for hosting and approving companies, and use Netlify to host the main file. It also guided me through linking the map to a page on my own website: https://sdaimap.michelabood.com/. Claude warned me about the legal issues involved in scraping a list wholesale from other sites, so the map is designed to be populated by people submitting their own companies. I just published it, and 10 companies have already been listed, with more on the way. I have also received great comments on LinkedIn. Now I can see at a glance how far I need to go to find a specific company. I also had Claude create a step-by-step guide, which I am happy to share if people want it. Step-by-step: 1. I described the map I wanted to Claude, including an alphabetical directory, an industry selector, and a way for people to add their own companies. 2. I asked Claude to keep the project as simple as possible, use as few tokens as possible, and wait for my approval before taking any action. 3. I used Claude to design the map and create the Google Form for company submissions. 4. I used Google Sheets to host and approve the submitted companies. 5. I followed Claude's guidance to host the main file on Netlify. 6. I linked the map to a page on my own website: https://sdaimap.michelabood.com/. 7. I avoided scraping a wholesale list from other sites because of the legal issues Claude identified. 8. I published the map and began collecting company listings from people directly.

Create a five-day sermon follow-up text series from a previous Sunday’s sermon

I created a Gemini Gem with custom instructions. When I paste a link to the previous Sunday’s sermon, the Gem “watches” the video and creates five messages—one for each weekday. Each message uses a specific engagement method, such as a link to watch the sermon for anyone who missed it, a graphic featuring a verse from the sermon, or a reflection question tied to the sermon’s theme. After I approve the copy, the Gem creates a properly formatted Google Sheet in my Google Drive, ready to be dragged and dropped into our text provider. Within five minutes, I have content deployed that extends the impact of the 45-minute sermon throughout the week. Step-by-step: 1. I paste a link to the previous Sunday’s sermon into my Gemini Gem. 2. The Gem watches the video and creates five weekday messages. 3. I review and approve the copy for each message. 4. The Gem creates a correctly formatted Google Sheet in my Google Drive. 5. I drag and drop the content into our text provider for deployment.

Automate Monthly Social Media Content and Scheduling with AI

I kept struggling to stay consistent with social media for my own projects. Writing captions, choosing hashtags, designing graphics, and scheduling content across platforms was taking hours every week—time I would rather spend building. So I built AutoKonnekt. You give it one sentence or a website URL, and it generates a full month of on-brand social posts, including captions, hashtags, and AI-generated images. It then schedules them across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest, X, and Threads. The hardest part was getting the AI to sound like a specific brand’s voice instead of producing generic marketing copy. That took a lot of iteration on the prompting side. It’s live now with a free plan if anyone wants to try it: https://autokonnekt.com I’d love to hear what the community thinks. For those of you managing social media manually, which part takes the most time? I’m trying to figure out what to build next. Step-by-step: 1. I enter one sentence describing the project or provide a website URL. 2. AutoKonnekt generates a month of on-brand social posts with captions, hashtags, and AI-generated images. 3. I use the generated content across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest, X, and Threads. 4. AutoKonnekt schedules the posts across those platforms. 5. I iterate on the prompting to make the content sound like the specific brand instead of generic marketing copy.
