Let's get to know each other! Comment below sharing where you are in the world, a career goal you have, and something you like to do for fun. 😊

What did I scrape - I essentially just tried to follow the video and do a thing very similar to what Nate did... scrape job opportunities. This time though, for AI trainers, and I asked Calude to do 100 of them. What suprised me - It isn't even neccesarily this project, it's simply the MAGNAMOUNT capalibity of Claude Code itself. This suprised me yesterday too, and it's simply making me want to dive deeper into this rabbit hole as to see what it can do with regards to automations, back-end systems and whatnot. One use case idea - You could try to scrape leads off of google maps for to cold call businesses properly... for any sort of agency you might want to offer a product with. Could help speed up the process for finding cold leads and whatnot. First image is the CSV file for firecrawl video, second is the YouTube analysis for the 36-min dive deeper video... and the last one is from the other "dive deeper" video. Very fun projects!

Built my first Trigger.dev automation. It automatically: - Finds dental clinics from Google Maps - Checks if they have a website - Tags outdated websites - Removes duplicates - Pushes qualified leads into Google Sheets Manual prospecting → Automated in seconds. Next step: AI website audits + personalized outreach. Building one automation at a time. 🚀

This challenge was a real challenge. Mainly because the Claude desktop layout changed from what the original instructions described for creating scheduled tasks. The original instructions were to use Claude Desktop, go to Claude Code, open a project folder and go to the "Schedule" tab. What I discovered was that the layout and labels had changed completely! So I took a screenshot and asked Claude Code to help me with the directions. What changed was the "Schedule" category is now "Routines," and to start one I had to choose "New Routine." Most of the rest of the instructions were the same. I ended up creating a scheduled task that had Claude reading my emails from Indeed, finding the Executive Assistant or Administrative Assistant job postings in those emails, and creating a draft email with a summary of those jobs. First run through was inconclusive - no results appeared, and the skill seemed to keep running. Asked Claude Code again, and we went through a few iterations where it pointed out my directions weren't clear enough. (I'm wondering if "Fable" would have done a better job parsing my instructions?) Lesson learned: be more precise in my instructions, and ensure that I have the right connectors in place. For the Loop experiment, I had Claude Code track how many emails I was receiving from this one address that was spamming me in real time. It was a Patreon content creator, and they were uploading several videos at a time, which caused an update email to be sent each time. My instructions were "Every 5 minutes, check my Gmail for any new emails labelled [Patreon creator]." First time, it came back that it couldn't find any emails with the "label" I specified. Again, I learned to be more precise, so I updated the loop command to search for emails from [specfic Patreon email address] instead of "Labels," which is a different category in Gmail. This time the loop performed correctly, and I adjusted the parameters with each execution. What I learned overall from this exercise is to persevere through my frustrations. In the past, when I got stuck on a problem or elements of a task are missing or not matching the directions I was following, I would get anxiou and go into procrastination mode. That's derailed me several times with other business skills in the past. This time, I caught myself and said "If you're not finding the answer on how to find the Schedule tab, ask Claude." Before, there wasn't a lot of recourse to get coaching or follow up if I got stuck, but AI agents are looking like that coach I've been looking for if I get into a sticking place.

I finished Day 1. What I learned is that Claude Code isn't as intimidating as initially thought. I would look into the possibility of perhaps a more professional layout for future iterations. Below are snips of the newsletter. I went one further and created a second newsletter for the fishing club that I am a Vice President of. Claude handled it well. It's a start, but I really enjoyed creating these. #AISCHALLENGE
