Has anyone ever used firecrawl to scrape Reddit? For example do routine passes looking for specific keywords or phrases so I can go reply.

As an acne-prone girly, THE COMPOUND newsletter is not just a regular newsletter, it is one that inspires me to believe that clear skin is achievable while scaling through the ever busy job market. I realised how much possible it can be to use one's experience to shape the world and give hope to people who are in similar situation, and what better way but to use AI. I hope to be able to add pictures, make the page more engaging and figure out ways my audience can share their feelings through this newsletter.

But it also has an expiration date. Right now, sticking "AI" in front of "consultant" is a real edge. The search demand is there. The budgets are there. Companies are actively hunting for someone who can walk in, look at their operations, and tell them what to actually do with this stuff. So if you're trying to position yourself, take the label. It works. But the label is the temporary part and we've seen this cycle before. → When Excel showed up, people might've called themselves "Excel accountants." But how ridiculous would it be if someone introduced themselves like that today? → When the internet showed up, people spun up "internet marketing" agencies. Now that's just marketing. AI is doing the same thing to consulting because AI is going to seep into everything. In a few years, the qualifier drops. The consultants who aren't AI native won't be winning business. They'll just be bad consultants. The job under the hood doesn't change. A consultant walks into a business, finds the actual constraint, and prescribes a solution. The newest tech is the toolbox, not the job description. But people take the "AI consultant" title and assume the answer always has to be AI. Sometimes the right call is a database restructure. Sometimes it's a better SaaS tool. Sometimes it's a deterministic workflow with zero AI in it. I'm not saying AI is never the answer. It's the highest-impact tool we've had in a long time. But forcing it where it doesn't belong is how clients lose trust fast. I think about it as a pyramid. → Bottom: deterministic workflows. No AI. Cheap, fast, reliable. → Middle: AI workflows. More power, more cost, more failure modes. → Top: AI agents. Maximum capability, maximum risk, longest time to ship. The higher you climb, the more it costs, the longer it takes, and the more ways it breaks. More risk. Start at the bottom. Only move up when the problem actually demands it. The label "AI consultant" gets you in the door right now. The discipline of solving the real problem with the simplest possible solution is what keeps you there once everyone else catches up.

Here's why you should attend: Over two days at AIS Live, every speaker is someone actively earning from AI services, and they show their actual work. The real projects they sell, how they get clients, the numbers behind it. It just opened to the public, and right now you can save $50. But only through Sunday: -> Go here for details: https://app.aiautomationsociety.ai/ais-live/register/

In this video I show you how I turned Claude Opus 4.8 into my full AI operating system that runs my businesses, holds all my context, and replaces the constant tab switching between apps. I walk through the Four C's I use to build it (context, connections, capabilities, cadence), the mindset shift of working out of Claude Code by default, how I organize files and skills, and the bike method for safely giving agents more autonomy. By the end you'll know exactly how to set up your own AI OS and the trap to avoid when you start handing it real keys. GITHUB REPO
