Group poll for biz owner/ops
This is oversimplifying but curious to poll the group since we have so many members. For the sake of oversimplifying where do you currently find yourself? 1. You own/operate a business that you are trying to implement AI/ICM internally to improve your own business operations. 2. You own/operate a business/agency that you are trying to implement AI/ICM to improve business operations in someone else business. I realize there can be a blend of both, if you find yourself using it to improve your business internally which in turn improves your operations that helps other businesses externally, for the sake of the poll select option 2. Option 1 is purely those using this internally to their own business.

I'm definitely 1. I've got a small business in residential real estate. We basically buy houses that need a lot of love, renovate them and then sell or rent them. I've had to zoom out and look at all the various processes and workflow from start to finish in our business operation and figure out the best way to outline or overlay that with the ICM structure. This has resulting in a lot of workspace folders then figuring out the best way to make sure they route to/from each other when they depend on each other to further the process. We do everything internally, from data to marketing, lead management, acquisitions, etc.

Website migration
Small W but a W nonetheless. Had a website provider I’ve used for years $99/mo with boiler templates. Most people in my industry use it because it’s “optimized” for that industry. I never customized content other than the landing page with our brand and voice. Created a workspace for the website migration to take our brand and design from the old site. Did some SEO research so we could migrate and improve at the same time. New website setup $0/mo using GitHub and netlify. Saves me more than a VIP membership monthly! Stages inside the website workspace 1_SEO: researches a plan for website content 2_copy: writes copy based on seo plan 3_ux: checks ux flow of content with goal of form fill out being success 4_analytics: measure traffic and form fills to test success of SEO plans from research. Now to ditch the $200+/mo CRM *MCP friendly shell* Not building one from scratch

@Allan Durhuus the money saved is awesome but I’m more excited about the content production and analytics moving forward. I’m too busy to manage the website content myself but I can spare time to QC the output. Not trying to be #1 SEO in the nation just trying to be a step above the local competition.

Who's here? Drop your intro.
Tell us three things: 1. What you do (job, industry, student, career-changer, whatever) 2. What brought you to Clief Notes 3. One thing you're trying to figure out right now related to computing or AI I'll respond to every single one. And read each other's intros too because the person who's stuck on the same problem as you might already be in this thread. I'll go first I am Jake, I have been working in tech for 15 Years, building with Generative AI for 3 Years straight now! Excited to teach and learn! That's it. Simple, scannable, gives you data on who's joining and what they need, and keeps the feed clear for content that retains people past week one.

1. Residential real estate. Fix and flip 2. the whiteboard videos! 3. connecting workspaces, keeping things separated by work but connected as a cohesive overarching workspace

@Dan Gibson great question. I’ve just been finding 1 thing at a time. Started with data pulling. Then website management. Underwriting. Just think of things I do repeatedly and try to use the folder structure to turn it into a production line.

Compact or new session?
Not sure if there is a right answer here or if it's a preference thing but my question is do ya'll compact a session or take that as a hint to wrap up current work and start a new session? I'm using VS Code and when I see the auto compact about to set off, I ask claude to update the respective .md files in the workspace to wrap up the session. Is that less efficient than just compacting? I suppose my thought process was if the .mds inside the workspace are lean enough then a new session would be more token efficient than compacting.

I think I get the basics ICM structure for a single workspace but I’m trial and erroring my way through a “business_OS” build right now. I’m up to 8 workspace folders inside. Everything from marketing, website manager, lead management, data, etc. Those workspaces have stages inside. Data stages like aggregation, enrichment, etc. Marketing is dependent on data’s final output. I guess my question or struggle is when to split to another workspace? is there a test to know if you’ve got too many sub folders stages in each workspace? Or as long as context is short and sweet just keep splitting off into workspaces and stages? Feel like I’m in the movie inception but with file folders 🙃 I originally was looking at this like an org chart with positions and jobs but that didn’t work very long and had to switch to production line output thinking and dependencies between workspaces.

@Ari Evergreen wow thanks! Super practical and actionable advice. Looks like I was trying to keep too many production lines inside a workspace folder by looking at that workspace folder as a department. Hard to shake the org/distro structure as I build things out but this certainly helped clear things up. I appreciate your time for the detailed response!
