The 5-step pipeline that replaced my 2-hour Friday manual scroll: a watchlist, the API plus a scraper, GPT-4o-mini dedupe and clustering, a one-page Monday digest, and the three signals worth acting on.
A real look at AI-assisted Reddit engagement: the four tells that get comments flagged, the draft-edit-verify workflow that survives mods, the monitoring stack I actually use, and the line between value-add and spam that everyone glosses over.
A battle-tested 6-stage pipeline that turns one brief into 200 ad creatives in 9 days — the angle matrix math, the production sprint, the pre-launch ranking, and the kill/scale rules that surface 14 winners by day 9.
Most marketing attribution is a $40K/year vendor contract answering a question you can solve in a Google Sheet.

A working Make.com scenario that turns a raw form submission into a routed, scored, sales-ready lead in under 90 seconds — using Gemini as the decision brain and four sub-agents to do the busywork.
YouTube's official Test & Compare feature runs 7 days. Here's the 48-hour fast-iteration loop I use with creator clients — including when to trust the data, when not to, and the AI tools that actually shorten the cycle.
Two free Google tools give you the rawest data on what your site is doing. Pair them with Claude and you get content decisions in 90 minutes that would take a week in spreadsheets. Here's the exact workflow, the prompt template, and the three questions it reliably answers.
Stop building dashboards backwards. 12 chart types, the question to ask before each, and copy-paste Claude prompts to design Looker Studio dashboards that survive a Monday morning executive review.
A 7-email welcome series built around the emotional arc of onboarding — not the product tour. Each email has a goal, timing, copy guidance, and an AI prompt that generates it. Long-form, copy-paste ready.
Every Monday at 8:14 a.m. a Slack message lands with 4-9 underperforming posts. The n8n + Claude agent that writes it, the prompts that make Claude useful (and the ones that make it noisy), and the three things I changed after six weeks of running it for real.
I run three newsletters, one niche blog, and a small client portfolio at $0/month in tooling. Here are the seven free tools that do it, why each one earned its slot, and the day-to-day workflow that ties them together.
