</style><div class='beehiiv__body'><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Dear Builders,</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">There are over 15 million adults diagnosed with ADHD in the US alone.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">You do not need millions of customers.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>If you sold this skill for $49 on Gumroad, you would only need around 10 sales a month to create an extra $500 income stream.</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>If you packaged it as a setup service at $500?</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>You only need 2 people per month to say yes.</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">That is the opportunity with AI skills.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Tiny audiences.<br>Real problems.<br>Fast solutions.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Let’s get into it.</p><hr class="content_break"><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="skill-of-the-week">🧠 Skill of the Week</h2><p id="who-built-it-aicc" class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Who Built It:</b> AICC</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>What It Does:</b><br>This is an ADHD-focused Claude skill that turns AI into a persistent second brain.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">It stores open loops, remembers unfinished tasks, reconstructs context after interruptions, and helps users recover forgotten commitments — all using natural language.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">No rigid dashboards.<br>No complicated setup.<br>No “productivity guru” nonsense.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Just a system designed around how ADHD brains actually operate.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The skill runs across six modes:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Daily Check-In</b><br>Triggered by: “check in”<br>Shows open loops, waiting items, and the single next action.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Brain Dump</b><br>Triggered by: “brain dump”<br>Lets users offload messy thoughts without organising first.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Recovery Mode</b><br>Triggered by: “I forgot”<br>Searches history and commitments to recover lost context.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Triage Mode</b><br>Triggered by: “I can’t focus”<br>Reduces everything down to one next action.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Continuity Mode</b><br>Triggered by: “where was I”<br>Rebuilds working context after interruptions.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Weekly Review</b><br>Surfaces unresolved tasks and forces decisions on stale loops.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>How it works in one line:</b><br>User speaks naturally → Claude updates persistent operations file → Context and commitments stay alive across sessions → AI surfaces what matters when needed.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Why It’s Incredible:</b><br>Most productivity systems expect consistency.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This system expects interruption.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">That changes everything.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Instead of punishing distraction, it compensates for it.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">And because the outputs stay structured and familiar, the brain learns how to scan them quickly without extra mental load.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This is not “AI productivity.”</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">It is cognitive infrastructure.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Key Advantages:</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">🧠 Persistent memory across sessions<br>📂 Captures open loops automatically<br>⚡ Reduces overwhelm with single-action triage<br>🔄

</style><div class='beehiiv__body'><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Dear Builders,</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">I am back this week for those that saw my last email, slightly heavier from all the gelato but made some amazing memories and my SaaS tool audience grew while I was away on autopilot so lots to be thankful for. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Now, let’s 10x your Claude Powers!</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Most people read books and move on. Some take notes and try to apply what they learn, but very few actually turn that knowledge into something they can reuse consistently. This week is about changing that. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>What if Alex Hormozi was inside Claude helping you build your business?</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Instead of just consuming content by the people you want to emulate, you are going to turn it into something practical that you can use again and again inside your workflows.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Even better, don’t understand your clients zone of genius? Train Claude and you don’t ever need too.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Let’s get into it.</p><hr class="content_break"><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="workflow-of-the-week">🧠 Workflow of the Week</h2><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>What It Does:</b><br>This method shows you how to turn books, PDFs, and expert content into <b>usable skill files</b> inside Claude. These are not summaries or highlights. They are structured capabilities. Instead of trying to remember what an expert like Gary Vee said, you can access and apply their thinking whenever you need it, whether that is for your own projects or for client work.</p><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="step-1-set-the-goal-first">Step 1: Set the Goal First</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Before you upload anything, you need to be clear on what you are trying to achieve.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This could be <b>building a landing page, improving outreach, creating ad creatives, or increasing conversions for a client</b>. Once you have that, upload your book or PDF into Claude and ask it to scan the material and identify the sections most relevant to your goal.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This step ensures Claude is working from targeted expert insight rather than relying on generic knowledge.</p><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="step-2-generate-micro-skill-ideas">Step 2: Generate <i>Micro </i>Skill Ideas</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Next, ask Claude to <b>generate skill ideas based on the material</b>, but make sure you explicitly ask for “<b>simple</b>” ideas. This matters more than it sounds. Without that constraint, the output tends to become overly complex and much harder to reuse. You want micro, focused, practical skills that can be applied across different situations, not large systems that are difficult to maintain.</p><div class="image"><img alt="" class="image__image" style="" src="https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/cbaefc7c-db3a-4478-93c4-b58a51ad7689/unnamed__14_.png?t=1776367954"/></div><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="step-3-spin-up-sub-agents">Step 3: Spin Up Sub-Agents</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Once you have a list of ideas you like, <b>ask Claude to spin up sub-agents</b> to build each one. This allows each skill to be developed independently, which leads to cleaner outputs and faster progress. Instead of working through everything step by step, you are effectively building multiple assets in parallel.</p><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="step-4-convert-to-skill-files">Step 4: Convert to Skill Files</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">From there, Claude will take the structured insights and <b>convert them into skill files</b>. These act like small, reusable tools that you can call on whenever you need them. Rather than going back to the source material each time, you are now working with something that has already been distilled and organised for action.</p><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="step-5-rinse-and-repeat">Step 5: Rinse and Repeat</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This is where the long-term value builds. As you repeat the process with different books and sources, you can start removing weaker skills and combining stronger ones. Over time, you end up with a<b> tailored library that reflects the best thinking from multiple experts, adapted to your specific needs.</b></p><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="why-its-incredible">Why It’s Incredible</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Most people collect information, but that does not create much leverage on its own. This method turns knowledge into something you can actually use.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">📊<b> Difficulty Rating</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">🌊🌊🌊 (3/5 — Requires clear prompting and iteration, but no coding.)</p><hr class="content_break"><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="get-the-bag-how-this-makes-money">💰 Get The Bag: How This Makes Money</h2><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>1) Expert Systems for Clients</b><br>You can turn industry knowledge into tailored skill stacks that help businesses solve specific problems more efficiently.<br>💵 Charge: $1,000 to $5,000 per build<br>💡 Pro Tip: Position this as building a custom internal AI system.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>2) Niche Knowledge Products</b><br>You can package curated skill libraries for specific industries or outcomes and sell them as focused resources.<br>💵 Charge: $50 to $300 per bundle<br>💡 Pro Tip: Focus on the outcome the buyer wants, not the information itself.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>3) Done-For-You Workflows</b><br>By using expert-derived skills, you can deliver higher-quality outputs more quickly for your clients.<br>💵 Charge: $2,000+ per client<br>💡 Pro Tip: Your advantage is speed combined with depth of insight.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><i><b>Remember to check the copyright of any sources you are using before you start selling.</b></i></p><hr class="content_break"><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="weekend-challenge-start-outreach-no">💸 Weekend Challenge: Start Outreach Now</h2><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Challenge:</b><br>Take one book or PDF that is directly related to a valuable business outcome, such as marketing, sales, copywriting, or conversion.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Use this method to turn it into two or three simple, practical skills that you can demonstrate.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Do not overbuild.

</style><div class='beehiiv__body'><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Dear Builders,</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">We’ve all been there. You ask Claude to build a landing page and it hands you something that looks like a generic bootstrap template from 2014.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The code works but the soul is missing. It’s gray, it’s cramped, and it screams that it was generated by a machine.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This week’s feature is the secret weapon for moving from functional to high-end.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Let’s dive in.</p><hr class="content_break"><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="workflow-of-the-week">🧠 Workflow of the Week</h2><p id="who-built-it-leon-lin" class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Who Built It: </b>Leon Lin</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>What It Does: </b>The <b>Taste Skill (taste-skill)</b> is actually a powerhouse suite of six specialized meta-skills designed to inject visual DNA into Claude. It stops the AI from being lazy and forces it to adhere to modern, high-end design principles. This covers everything from typography to spring-based animations.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>The suite includes: </b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">🎨 <b>Taste-Skill:</b> The flagship. Teaches Claude layout, motion, and color theory. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">🛠️ <b>Redesign-Skill:</b> Audits your existing ugly UI and fixes the biggest eye-sores first. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">💎 <b>Soft-Skill:</b> The expensive filter. Big whitespace, layered depth, and floating navs. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">🚫 <b>Output-Skill:</b> The Taskmaster. Bans placeholder comments and half-finished code blocks. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">📖 <b>Minimalist-Skill:</b> The Linear/Notion vibe. Clean grids and warm monochrome. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">📟 <b>Brutalist-Skill:</b> The declassified blueprint look. Rigid grids and CRT aesthetics.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Why It’s Incredible:</b><br>By installing these, you are essentially giving Claude a degree from a top-tier design school.

</style><div class='beehiiv__body'><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Dear Builders,</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">A few months ago there were a handful of useful skills for Claude Code and Antigravity. All the ones I needed I had to build from scratch. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Now there are thousands.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The problem is no longer <i>building capability</i>. The problem is <b>finding the right skill</b>.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This week’s feature is the closest thing we have to:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>One skill to rule them all. (reply with the film reference for extra points)</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Let’s get into it.</p><div class="image"><img alt="Lord Of The Rings GIF" class="image__image" style="" src="https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTI0NTBlYzMwbW1lM3F4dHA3dTJybnR3a241NmJiajA5Y3ludWF3NTloZzV5aXpvYiZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/XgE4LlECZjw6k/giphy.gif"/></div><hr class="content_break"><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="s-kill-of-the-week">🧠 SKill of the Week</h2><p id="who-built-it-vercel-labs" class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Who Built It:</b> Vercel Labs</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>What It Does:</b><br>The <b>Find Skill (find-skills)</b> is a meta skill that helps you discover and install other Claude Code skills directly from the terminal. With <b>400,000+ installs</b>, it has quickly become the entry point to the entire ecosystem. Instead of searching registries or Googling around, you can simply ask Claude for the tool you need.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">For example:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">“Find me a skill for code review.”<br>“Find a skill for Obsidian.”<br>“Find a skill for Canva design.”</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Claude searches the registry, previews the best option, and installs it for you. All without leaving the terminal.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">You can:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Search the entire skills registry<br>Preview tools before installing<br>Install skills instantly<br>Add them globally so they work across projects</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Why It’s Incredible: </b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">There are now <b>60,000+ Claude Code skills</b>.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">No one can keep up with that manually. This skill turns discovery into a prompt.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Starting a new project?</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Instead of researching tools for an hour, just ask Claude. It will likely find something someone has already built. Less searching.

class="content_break"><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="skill-of-the-week">🧠 Skill of the Week</h2><p id="who-built-it-unknown" class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Who Built It:</b> Unknown</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>What It Does:</b><br>This workflow creates viral-style AI shorts that you can use to create the pool or house building shorts mentioned above.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">You generate two images:</p><ol start="1"><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">A detailed scene with a finished house.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The same scene with the house removed.</p></li></ol><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Then you turn those frames into a realistic AI construction animation.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">No 3D modelling.<br>No manual animation.<br>No construction footage required.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">You can:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Generate hyper-detailed environments<br>Remove structures cleanly using AI editing<br>Create realistic “build from nothing” animations<br>Batch produce vertical shorts<br>Replicate the format consistently</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>How it works in one line:</b><br>Scene with no house → Scene with house → AI frame-to-video generation → Construction timelapse short.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Why It’s Incredible:</b><br>This format performs.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">People love transformation content.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Empty land → Finished house.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">It triggers curiosity.<br>It loops well.<br>It works in vertical.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">And it is simple.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Two images.<br>One video generation step.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">If posted consistently, these can:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Grow a Shorts channel<br>Drive affiliate links<br>Attract brand deals<br>Sell digital products<br>Sell automation services to builders and real estate developers</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This is not magic.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">It is format + consistency.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Key Advantages:</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This is simple, I can build sample videos and send them out to home service businesses like garden room builders, swimming pool companies and even those doing remodelling, extensions and conservatories while starting my own viral channel on the side if I wish. </p><div class="recommendation"><figure

where it gets serious.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">You can take an existing high-budget ad video and tell Antigravity:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">“Clone this video, but feature this product instead.”</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">And it will recreate it.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Different product.<br>Different

</style><div class='beehiiv__body'><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Dear Builders,</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">If last week was about avoiding distraction, this week is about durability. I don’t want to turn this newsletter into an aggregation of AI news or something fluffy and weak with no actionable steps. So we will return to our normal programming next week, but there was one thing from last week&#39;s newsletter that I did not cover and it has been bugging me, so here it is ….</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Find your F-king MOAT!</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Here is what I mean:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">AI automations are getting cheaper.<br>Tools are getting easier. Claude code is becoming more and more accessible.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Antigravity allows tools to be made with just a few solid, well thought out prompts.<br>Templates are everywhere.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Which means the barrier to entry is collapsing.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">When everyone can build, execution stops being the MOAT.<br>Understanding becomes the moat.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Try and sell the fact that you can join n8n nodes together is no longer going to cut it.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Your advantage is not the tool you use.<br>It’s why you use it, who you use it for, and what problem you understand better than anyone else. Everything has shifted from where it was 10 months ago when I started this newsletter. That is why this newsletter will now focus on helping you to find the problem you solve, picking the best tool to solve it, and then retaining the clients you serve.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Just to be crystal clear, the real moat in AI automation comes from three things:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Context.</b><br>You understand the business, not just the workflow.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Judgment.</b><br>You know what not to automate.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Trust.</b><br>Clients believe you will not break what matters.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Anyone can wire tools together now or cheaply hire someone to do it for them.<br>Very few people can sit with a business owner, translate chaos into clarity, and build something that actually survives first contact with reality.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">If your offer can be copied in a weekend, it isn’t a moat. This does not mean you need to build complex systems or workflows. It means your system can be simple and targeted, but your OFFER is full stack.<br>If your value disappears when a new tool launches, it isn’t a moat.<br>If you can’t explain why your system exists, it isn’t a moat.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Moats are built by focus.</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">One audience.<br>One recurring problem.<br>One outcome you can reliably deliver.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Do that long enough and tools become interchangeable.<br>Clients don’t hire your stack.<br>They hire your thinking.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#0800ff;">Build where you cannot be easily replaced.</span><br><span style="color:#0800ff;">That’s the game.</span></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">As a thank you for reading all the way to the bottom, if at least 10 people reply to this email with a pain point of their own when it comes to AI automations I will tell you all what my MOAT is next week and make content to help you find a solution to your pain point.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Now, go find your F-king MOAT!</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">K</p><div class="image"><a class="image__link" href="https://galaxy.ai/?ref=TAE&utm_source=theautomationexchange.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=find-your-moat" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="image__image" style="" src="https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/52864142-5f17-4be4-9dec-14755b4b3e61/Galaxy_Ad_Leo_1.png?t=1770374680"/></a><div class="image__source"><a class="image__source_link" href="https://galaxy.ai/?ref=TAE&utm_source=theautomationexchange.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=find-your-moat" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span class="image__source_text"><p>Click Here</p></span></a></div></div></div><div class='beehiiv__footer'><br class='beehiiv__footer__break'><hr class='beehiiv__footer__line'><a target="_blank" class="beehiiv__footer_link" style="text-align: center;" href="https://www.beehiiv.com/?utm_campaign=b8274230-90bc-4984-a9a4-9dbd4a42f136&utm_medium=post_rss&utm_source=the_automation_exchange">Powered by beehiiv</a></div></div>

</style><div class='beehiiv__body'><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Dear Builders,</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">No workflow this week. I wanted to pause and talk about something that feels more important than another tool or setup guide.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This isn’t a warning. And it’s not a hot take.<br>It’s simply how I think about building with AI in a space that’s moving fast, loud, and sometimes without much discipline.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"> Take what’s useful. Ignore the rest.<br>As always, feel free to reply if you want to push back or add nuance.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">K</p><blockquote align="center" class="twitter-tweet"><a href="https://twitter.com/openclaw/status/2017103710959075434?s=20&utm_source=theautomationexchange.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=why-i-am-not-using-openclaw-clawdbot-moltbot"><p> Twitter tweet </p></a></blockquote><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="visibility-is-not-validation">Visibility Is Not Validation</h2><p id="earlier-this-week-open-claw-formerl" class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Earlier this week, OpenClaw, formerly Clawdbot and then Moltbot, started popping up all over my YouTube recommendations.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">You have probably seen the same thing. The usual AI hype channels jumped on it immediately. Demos. Threads. “This changes everything.”</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">I did not watch ten hours of content.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Instead, I waited for a few people I trust to publish their thoughts, dropped their videos into Google NotebookLM, and spent time actually understanding what this tool is and how people are using it.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">What I found made me pause.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Not because the idea is bad. Agentic tools are powerful. Proactive. Genuinely exciting.<br>But because much of the conversation skipped over the risks.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">There are already reports of exposed instances.<br>No passwords.<br>Leaked chats.<br>Credentials sitting in plain sight.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">There are also reports of permanent bans from Claude tied to how these tools are being used.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This is not because people are malicious.<br>It is because curiosity is moving faster than discipline.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">OpenClaw’s rise is a good reminder of something that comes up over and over again in this space.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Visibility is not validation.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Just because something is trending does not mean it is safe.<br>Just because it works does not mean it is ready.<br>And just because others are using it does not mean the consequences disappear.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">When you add unvetted third-party skills, predictable configurations, and production access, you are no longer experimenting.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">You are gambling with your systems, your data, and sometimes your clients’ data.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">That does not make it useless.<br>But it does change how it should be approached.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">My personal rule is simple.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">If I cannot sandbox it, secure it, and explain it, I am not ready to run it.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The builders who last in this space do not move the fastest.<br>They research.<br>They isolate risk.<br>They choose boring safety over flashy demos.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Mastery beats momentum.

This is not woo woo, this is my experience talking. I did not watch 10 hours of ClawdBot and Moltbot videos. I spent 10 minutes putting them into Google NotebookLM, used some strategic prompts and then made my descision to stay the course and spend my time getting new clients and serving the ones I already have. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This is why I suggest:</p><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Pick one or two trusted tools and master them.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Invest in learning how to keep your data and your clients data safe, this in itself could be a service you sell to clients</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Pick one pain point to solve and become the expert.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Pick one audience and serve them.</p></li></ul><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Stay aware of new tools, but learn to recognize the hype.

I am moving away from the drag and drop and more into agentic workflows on antigravity and cursor. Don’t get me wrong, I still use n8n but just not as much. I have some great prompts I am using with these tools but I am not sure if you want me to shift away from n8n and introduce you to what I am doing and give you these prompts and guidelines to make your own agentic tools. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Just as an example, I built a tool with antigravity in a morning, made a YouTube video about it and had my first user in 48hrs. You can move fast with these tools.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>If you have 30 seconds, hit reply and send me the number(s) you want to vote for in the poll below:</b></p><ol start="1"><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Stick to n8n workflows only</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Start covering newer tools such as antigravity and cursor builds</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Give me prompt packs for tools like cursor and antigravity to help me build tools</p></li></ol><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Vote below.

This workflow uses Google’s Nano Banana image model to turn one person image and one product or outfit image into realistic UGC-style visuals automatically. You can swap clothing, products, and scenes while keeping the same face and identity consistent.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>How it works in one line:</b><br>Person image + product image → AI preserves face → AI swaps product or outfit → Finished UGC image.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Why It’s Incredible:</b><br>This replaces one of the most annoying bottlenecks in content creation.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Model sourcing ✅<br>Photoshoots ✅<br>Manual image editing ✅</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Nano Banana handles face consistency and product integration far better than previous image models, especially for non-famous faces. This is the first time AI UGC images look usable for real businesses, not just demos.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">For ecommerce brands, agencies, and local businesses, this unlocks fast, cheap creative variation without creative fatigue.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Key Advantages:</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">🎯 Fast iterations. New outfits or products in seconds.<br>🧠 Face consistency. Same person across all images.<br>📸 No editing skills required. Just images and prompts.<br>🚀 Client-ready outputs. These look usable, not experimental.</p><div class="recommendation"><figure class="recommendation__logo"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="currentColor"><path d="M14.8287 7.75737L9.1718 13.4142C8.78127 13.8047 8.78127 14.4379 9.1718 14.8284C9.56232 15.219 10.1955 15.219 10.586 14.8284L16.2429 9.17158C17.4144 8.00001 17.4144 6.10052 16.2429 4.92894C15.0713 3.75737 13.1718 3.75737 12.0002 4.92894L6.34337 10.5858C4.39075 12.5384 4.39075 15.7042 6.34337 17.6569C8.29599 19.6095 11.4618 19.6095 13.4144 17.6569L19.0713 12L20.4855 13.4142L14.8287 19.0711C12.095 21.8047 7.66283 21.8047 4.92916 19.0711C2.19549 16.3374 2.19549 11.9053 4.92916 9.17158L10.586 3.51473C12.5386 1.56211 15.7045 1.56211 17.6571 3.51473C19.6097 5.46735 19.6097 8.63317 17.6571 10.5858L12.0002 16.2427C10.8287 17.4142 8.92916 17.4142 7.75759 16.2427C6.58601 15.0711 6.58601 13.1716 7.75759 12L13.4144 6.34316L14.8287 7.75737Z"></path></svg></figure><h3 class="recommendation__title"> Issue 45_ Chase&#39;s Nano Banana UGC workflow.pdf </h3><p class="recommendation__description"></p><p class="recommendation__description"> 196.03 KB • PDF File </p><a class="recommendation__link" href="https://beehiiv-publication-files.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/downloadables/188fc56c-5786-42d5-b3fb-4c2838a8d971/4ce6e24c-20ae-463a-ac04-c079cbeb4fab/Issue%2045_%20Chase%27s%20Nano%20Banana%20UGC%20workflow.pdf?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAQCMHTQSE2JGAGXHJ%2F20260617%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260617T033318Z&X-Amz-Expires=604800&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=1a619c8db2a32433568bc15a80b00699f9e4d0caab9647cd0f00ddd39395c700" download="Issue 45_ Chase&#39;s Nano Banana UGC workflow.pdf" target="_blank" data-skip-utms data-skip-link-id> Download </a></div><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">📊<b> Difficulty Rating</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">🌊 1/5 — Upload two images, write one sentence.
