Quick context for anyone outside freight: I run a freight brokerage. A big part of the job is calling carriers (the trucking companies that actually haul the loads) to confirm rates, check on pickups, and track shipments. That's a LOT of phone calls every day. So I build AI voice agents to make those calls for me. Rodrigo is one of them. Here's the kicker — one of my carriers, Eddie, told me he was just happy to talk to someone who speaks Spanish. That's the whole point. Rodrigo meets carriers where they are. Rodrigo's build: 1. Claude built him in 28 minutes 2. Claude helped me tweak him across 10+ tests 3. Flipped on Spanish at test 8 4. On 6-5-2026 he made me $800 on 4 outbound calls Slowly we'll get there. BlackBerry wasn't built in a day, and neither was the first iPhone. 📱 Huge win for my control-freak personality 🤣 — I prompted him using 4 different prompts based on each carrier's profile. That gave me the feeling of control over him. We will get there. 🙏 #AIspanish

I spent almost a year building and had no idea that I can connect API's to Claude and have it run and build things, pull information... wow! I love this folder thing and building inside of them pretty cool stuff This morning, I build a GOLD MINE! I asked Claude Code to Go to build me an Gold Mine for my email to find customers I hadn't touched or maybe my client might have missed Then my head went to spin! What if - 1. It matches my email to my CRM (Close.com) 2. What if the FMSCA API then matches carriers and lanes and bids and fixes my Close.com Lane Builder for carriers 3. What if it is connected to my TMS The crazy thing it is all built and tweaked using prompts. It is making me think that what if I never have to sit over software again, just pull and push data. 🤣

Real audio from a recorded test call with my AI freight agent (carrier info bleeped for privacy). Listen to the order it goes in: it checks in on the driver's weekend with his kids… then runs live deadhead math… then, when he pushes for $2,900, it hands off to a human instead of pretending it can decide. Empathy + math + knowing when to step back. That's what I'm building in public: https://lacrown.ai/building-in-public/ #BuildInPublic #AI #SmallBusiness #Freight

I haven't let my AI talk to a real carrier yet. So I tried to break it — live deadhead math, rate-per-mile, the whole gauntlet. Watch what it did (full build: http://lacrown.ai/building-in-public) I am a freight broker and own an agency. For those building an AI business: Industry estimates suggest there are tens of thousands of independent/1099 dispatchers operating nationwide, as this remote, commission-based role has surged in popularity among small businesses and work-from-home contractors.

If you could sit down with a "make a wish fairy", what would you ask for?
