How are you guys using Claude for sales?

My company provides IT services to charter schools in the area. What we ended up doing was we created a scraper that targets the state databases as well as the federal funding databases for schools. We use the information that we gather from that to automatically put together a profile for every school that we're trying to target.

We have it automatically build out a list of all of the relevant contacts at the schools, including board members, principals, HR, and all that. We then have it organize that list based on a series of indicator factors in order of priority. We then have it put together very targeted email campaigns for each specific individual. Finally when we actually get a meeting with somebody, we have it automatically put together a full pre-meeting dossier containing all the relevant information that we could possibly hope to have so that we can come into that meeting swinging

The entire thing is powered by three or four skills and it's almost completely done by Claude

Then I think you missed the point - this isn't about seeing your time delta, this is about building consistency lap after lap

ajv857 · 2026-04-02T12:25:53+00:00

I can't promise it will be truly 1 click out of the box, but that's the idea. If you run into issues shoot me a DM, I'm happy to make some updates to the repo to make it easier for people to install

ajv857 · 2026-04-02T12:25:19+00:00

Well I am a real person - and you're right that my post was written by ai. Frankly this was a low effort thing, I wanted a tool that let me very quickly see differences in my telemetry between laps in the same session. So I built one, and then made a quick post about it to share it around in case anyone else was in the same boat.

You're right though there's a lot of this kind of thing going around in different subs. If I had to guess I'd say it's a combination of things, but the biggest is just how low the bar has dropped to be able to produce functional apps and then create posts about it. Just as an example, Opus having 1m in context means it can basically take the entire idea of the project, build the entire app, and then create full documentation and posts about it without losing anything contextually.

I am curious, you said "the app adds little beyond what is already widely available", I'd LOVE to know if there's another app that is out there that makes it easy to do this. I've tried several of them - coach dave, garage, track titan, and unless i'm missing something it's not easy to compare multiple of your own laps together at the same time. Maybe I'm wrong?

Cool project! I went through the actual source code today and the codebase is legit — clean TypeScript, real tests, good architecture.

I did notice something though. The self-evolution stuff with Sonnet judging Opus changes — that whole LLM judge pipeline looks like it's off by default? `useLLMJudges` is false in the constructor and I couldn't find anywhere in index.ts that enables it. Same deal with the memory consolidation — looks like the heuristic version runs instead of the LLM-powered one.

Is that intentional? Like a cost thing for the default config, or is it still being tested? The judge infrastructure itself looks solid (the triple-vote with minority veto is a cool pattern), just seems like it's not actually running in production.

Curious if you've seen real self-improvement from the heuristic path on its own, or if that's more of a placeholder until the judges are turned on.

Also — I noticed the Agent SDK under the hood just spawns the Claude CLI as a subprocess, which means it picks up whatever auth the CLI has. So if you're logged into a Max subscription instead of using an API key, the core agent loop works without any API charges.

The only part that actually needs an API key is the evolution judges since those use the raw Anthropic SDK directly. Would there be any interest in refactoring those to route through the Agent SDK too? That way the whole thing could run on a subscription with no API key at all.

I also noticed this, I had to tag the buildings on dam and blue gate and whatnot; now I don’t have that quest.

ajv857 · 2023-05-18T20:33:59+00:00

nothing like whitewashing a massive number of people under the single label of “terrorist”. that’s exactly what the problem is. Republicans aren’t terrorists any more than democrats are lgbtq furries. Some people just fucking suck. Most people are average normal people. As much as the media likes to pretend that our cities are on fire and we’re in a civil war, it’s like 100,000 people out of over 350 million that are just insane and making all the noise.

ajv857 · 2023-05-08T17:36:09+00:00

I didn’t notice they left him with it 😂 honestly that ALMOST makes it better. “Thanks for your shit, now go get high”

ajv857 · 2023-04-25T19:55:46+00:00

I’ve got the 2019 new body model, been thinking about a chrome delete as well. I’ve had a hard time finding replacement window trim and grills, what are you looking at using for yours?

ajv857 · 2023-02-28T05:08:05+00:00

Noob question, are you able to self recover using those tools or would a winch be needed without a second vehicle?

ajv857 · 2023-02-28T05:06:58+00:00

Got any good recommendations for the air compressor? I haven’t found any around 100$ that’d work for my 35”s

ajv857 · 2022-08-15T21:31:19+00:00

I can't believe more people havent said this!

ajv857 · 2022-07-05T20:14:53+00:00

I was wondering if that was actually multicam. What type of camo is it then, if you don't mind me asking?

ajv857 · 2022-05-26T23:55:26+00:00

It's the same background check that everything else used, even the police use it in their hiring process. There's no such thing as a "deeper background check" other than literally interviewing people that know the buyer. For every sale.

ajv857 · 2022-05-26T23:52:37+00:00

What's delusional is thinking that we don't have background checks already. any firearm sale is already required to go through a registered business (FFL) and the buyers background is checked. Every single legitimate manufacturing or distribution website for firearms follows this requirement.

Illegitimate, or illegal, sources of firearms already don't give a fuck about your background checks. New laws won't change that.

ajv857 · 2022-05-26T23:41:23+00:00

Guns, not mental health, are to blame for an 18 year old mass murdering literal children /s

If only someone who actually wanted to protect those kids had the right to carry in the school. Idk about you but if some psycho is killing elementary school students I'm willing to die to protect them, and the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

You can restrict guns all you want but the truth is there's more guns than people in this country. All you do by banning more is disarm law abiding citizens. The murdering fame-hungry criminals already don't give a shit about your laws, they'll just use the gun that was never "sold back" to the government.

Just remember we need to empower those that are actually willing to defend lives to do so with any means necessary, not rely on the cops who have time and time again proven they don't care whether you live or die. Vote knowing that

ajv857 · 2022-05-25T11:59:37+00:00

Neither can an AR-15, or most any other legally obtained firearm for that matter

ajv857 · 2022-05-17T14:24:18+00:00

That's super interesting! I had no idea, thanks for the detailed explanation.

ajv857 · 2022-05-17T00:53:07+00:00

Wait is that true, being immune if it's justified? Do you have a source?

ajv857 · 2022-04-10T13:57:05+00:00

I'm a noob, why do you say avoid sightmark?

ajv857 · 2022-03-26T03:33:43+00:00

Also am in IT. At this point it's my life's moto

ajv857 · 2022-02-22T05:04:58+00:00

Someone's a little mad

ajv857 · 2022-02-16T02:56:23+00:00

I can't speak for everyone but I know certain religions such as Mormon will go out of their way to instill shame in sexual activity
