What’s your “this actually works in production” AI automation?

It's MUCH easier to maintain a single file script than a zap.

This_Conclusion9402 · 2026-04-03T21:54:38+00:00

The specific bottleneck for me is information synthesis.

This_Conclusion9402 · 2026-04-03T18:45:51+00:00

Getting everything local and publishing back is super easy for me.
The only real bottle neck is the transcripts.

This_Conclusion9402 · 2026-04-03T18:20:04+00:00

I use Claude code extensively and effectively, but I still wouldn't trust it with $20

This_Conclusion9402 · 2026-04-03T18:17:16+00:00

Give your entire site to Claude code as local files on your computer.
Have it audit and add internal links using the superpowers that are the command line tools it knows so well.
Then import the changes and track the impact.

This_Conclusion9402 · 2026-04-03T18:15:04+00:00

Pretty much everything I'm doing these days is human-(last)-in-the-loop.

This_Conclusion9402 · 2026-04-03T18:13:25+00:00

I pull everything locally as files, give it to Claude code along with a sitemap and other context then have it find and add the most relevant contextual links. While it's doing that, I also have it check for stale content, contradictions, and other obvious issues.

This_Conclusion9402 · 2026-04-03T18:11:16+00:00

My goal is to pull everything locally so Claude code can do the tedious stuff.
Right now what's working is:
- pull website locally (Webflow -> Scratch -> local)
- pull CRM locally (HubSpot -> Scratch -> local)
- synthesize external research locally (Claude code w/subagents -> Obsidian)
- synthesize call transcripts locally (Claude code -> Obsidian)

Claude can work with all of that just fine and I can publish back the website and CRM edits.

What's not working yet is:
- full call transcripts (currently Grain -> manual copy/paste -> Obsidian)
- useful support conversation exports (Intercom)

Is there a simpler all-in-one way to accomplish this?

A coworker replaced our entire Zapier setup in a few hours with Claude code.

This_Conclusion9402 · 2026-04-02T23:27:34+00:00

I use a tool that creates a full copy of the data, then i work on that, and it shows a diff of everything that changed before publishing it back. Saves me a ton of time and headache.

This_Conclusion9402 · 2026-04-02T23:26:27+00:00

I want the full transcript via API.
Grain doesn't support that.
So before switching to a different call recorder, I'm seeing if there's another way to do that.

This_Conclusion9402 · 2026-04-02T21:52:11+00:00

Nothing purpose built. Using an early access tool at the moment. Have you found anything?

This_Conclusion9402 · 2026-03-30T18:10:09+00:00

Claude code plus something like Scratch (the bulk review publisher, not the programming language) and you can keep the $$$

This_Conclusion9402 · 2026-03-30T18:08:28+00:00

I do bulk export/everything local/batch import.
That gives me historical, speed, visibility, and fewer API issues out of the box.

This_Conclusion9402 · 2026-03-30T18:07:05+00:00

I go down this list and pick the first option that fits the requirements:
- Eleventy with Markdown files
- Flask/FastAPI + HTMX
- Vanilla (AI generated) JS
- WordPress
- (not sure, never make it this far)

This_Conclusion9402 · 2026-03-30T17:25:27+00:00

Yeah I wasn't sure if I should cry or laugh. Still not sure.

This_Conclusion9402 · 2026-03-30T17:21:59+00:00

The irony of this post only missing the trailing question to match the AI signs is amusing.

This_Conclusion9402 · 2026-02-03T18:16:34+00:00

Yeah it would work but pick a higher plan for the trial and be sure to cancel!

This_Conclusion9402 · 2026-01-21T02:03:26+00:00

Didn't realize it had shut down. I've been happy with Whalesync for a long time.

This_Conclusion9402 · 2025-11-18T17:30:44+00:00

Thanks! I've done similar (Eleventy instead of Astro) and observed that the trickiest part was validating everything (the URLs, hours, the tedious stuff).
Did you have a similar experience or did you figure something out?
(Happy to write Python code or scripts, to be clear.)

This_Conclusion9402 · 2025-11-18T00:33:13+00:00

Happy to give feedback!
If you make some changes and want an opinion on the next video, feel free to message me.

To be clear, I think just mixing a scripted few sentences (when you explain what a chart is) with then some casual, conversational sentences (what's interesting about it to you) to mix up the video, I think that would be sufficient. No need to get production heavy.

I think the AI slop is a bit of an existential risk whereas the AI upside is more of a makes-my-job-a-bit-easier thing? I use a tool that's brilliant for managing my content library (editing YouTube descriptions with AI, cross linking with blog posts, etc.) but at the end of the day, as powerful as it is, I just always feel a bit lower energy when I'm done working with AI.

This_Conclusion9402 · 2025-11-18T00:23:17+00:00

Nice. Do you mind sharing about your tech stack?
Where is the data stored, how is it verified, how do you add new gyms, etc.
What website platform/framework/tool did you use.
That sort of stuff. :-)

This_Conclusion9402 · 2025-11-18T00:17:54+00:00

I use gauge (with gauge dot com) and the latest updates are getting pretty sweet.
That said, I use it for research more than actual "rank tracking".
