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?

Family — I built two skills today and they're already live on GitHub for you. 👉 https://github.com/millisa09/freight-quote-claude-skills/tree/main/skills 🎥 Full walkthrough: https://youtu.be/Qb0dowCDGHc WHAT THEY DO: 1️⃣ Freight Quote PDF Generator — pulls the load from your email, runs the miles, sizes the commodity, locks in your terms and conditions on the PDF. 15 seconds. Multi-truck and over-dimensional supported. 2️⃣ Vendor Setup Packet — branded one-page PDF with your W-9, tax info, remittance, personalized to the AP contact by name. 20 seconds. No more naked banking emails. — NOW HERE'S WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING 👇 These aren't just "save me time" skills. These are PRODUCTS you can sell. If you're an agent, an AI agency or a VA agency— you can take what I just gave you for free and turn it into recurring revenue. HOW TO SELL THIS 💰 → Tier 1: Custom branded version — $497 one-time (their colors, their logo, their terms language) → Tier 2: TMS-integrated version — $1,500 setup + $97/mo (pulls from McLeod, Aljex, Tailwind, Turvo, etc.) → Tier 3: White-label for a brokerage with 5+ agents — $2,500 setup + $297/mo (multi-user, locked branding, internal training included) The vendor setup skill alone? Every brokerage in America needs that. There are 17,000+ active freight brokerages in the US. You only need to land 10 of them at $97/mo to build a $970/mo recurring product on a skill I just handed you for free. — This is the La Crown thesis: AI doesn't replace the broker. It removes the back-office tax so the broker can do what they're actually good at — moving freight and building relationships. Drop a comment with which one you're going to install first. I'll help you troubleshoot, and if you build something cool with it, I'll feature it in next week's video. Let's go. 🤎 — Missy
