Email is where a small company's outside world arrives — and it sits scattered across inboxes no agent can read. We built the fix in one afternoon: a $0 Gmail collector, three accounts, every mail landing as a plain file. Here's the recipe, plus three decision rules — including when not to build.
Years of SME office work taught us why most automation attempts die: people try to automate the report before the data can be reached. The real first step is boring and powerful — pull your scattered work data into one place your agent can read. Here's the three-layer map and the prompt to start tonight.
Eighteen recipes, most of them cooked on Claude — and we're genuinely debating whether to cancel that subscription and move to Codex. Top-model economics on one side, built-in image generation on the other. Here's our honest math, the one move that keeps the choice reversible, and a real question: what would you do?
Remote Control has quietly become one of our most-used Claude Code features: the session keeps running on your machine at home, and your phone becomes the steering wheel. Here's the setup, the honest limits, and the strange little thrill of shipping a fix from a park bench.
We used to paste HTML into chat and explain where the login button was, like giving directions to a blindfolded driver. Playwright MCP ends that: your agent gets its own browser — it sees pages, clicks, types, and logs in. Here's the setup, the real workflow from office automation, and the safety rules.
Confession: we used to finish a feature, duplicate the entire project folder as a backup, and delete everything when an experiment failed. Then Git ended the ritual. Here's the save-system mental model, the seven commands that cover 95% of your needs — and how to run all of it in plain English through your agent.
You watch a brilliant 17-minute video, nod along, and remember nothing a week later. Here's the pipeline we actually run: the claude-video-vision plugin turns lectures into timestamped study notes — and then feeds the ideas into CLAUDE.md so the agent applies them to the project forever.
Claude Code asks permission for almost everything, and approving forty prompts an hour kills the joy of vibe coding. Here's how to turn the safety dial down — per session, per project, or globally — and exactly what you're trading away when you do.
