Hey everyone, I built something for you. It's called the Bottleneck Finder, and it's my gift. 🔑 Get yours here: https://www.charlieautomates.com/diagnose/ 🔑 Here's what it does. You answer a handful of questions (takes 3-5 minutes), and it figures out EXACTLY what the biggest thing holding you back is right now. Not generic advice. YOUR specific bottleneck, based on YOUR answers. Then it spits out a full report. Feed it straight into Claude and you've got a real starting point for solving it, today. It will continually build off the data of everything I feed into it, and everything you all feed into it, with exact references tied directly to the classroom of WHAT will solve that problem for you. Second thing. The curriculum inside Skool has been updated, but we'll be honest, it's covering too wide a surface right now. We're reading every Bottleneck Finder response coming in and using that data to rebuild it around SPECIFIC plug-and-play workflows that match what you're actually stuck on. So run the diagnostic. You help yourself, and you help shape what we build next. Link again: https://www.charlieautomates.com/diagnose/ That's it. Go get your report. Charles

🚨 The biggest problem. Most people are going to run into when building sites with Claude code is simply the fact that it'll print out generic garbage that can't be differentiated from the next guys slop. 🔑 TLDR - I have a CHALLENGE for you at the bottom of this. Brand differentiation is the key, and your uniqueness is UNIQUE to you. Lean into it! Don't recreate the wheel, but you must KNOW THY SELF FAMILY. This is how we can stand out from others, and get the recognition you deserve. ----------- How do we solve this? And I'm sure you're hoping for a command or plug-in that's gonna solve this problem for you. But the real answer to this problem is a bit deeper than just one command or skill. Most of us will go right to executing without properly ideating on things. And honestly, the same is true for knowing ourselves. When I build a website or landing page with Claude code, yes, I'm stacking skills, commands, and custom animations. And what's also true is that I can just tell Claude to build something and give me a product in 10 minutes. But to build a premium website, you not only need outcome oriented sales copy, but you also need to spend time creatively brainstorming. I catch myself doing this often as well. Everybody is asking Google stitch and Claude to create one to one copies of sites they found on the Internet. But the people who created those templates might have completely different missions, values and client profiles. So it's important to spend time thinking about who you are how you wanna be represented and what your company is actually about. There are unlimited possibilities when creating with Claude code and yes, it's true to not re-create the wheel. But we also need to lean into what makes us different as people because that's gonna translate into everything that you build. ----------- 🔥 So my challenge to you is to open up a blank canvas on miro.com: 1️⃣ Write down the values of yourself and your company (both are you) 2️⃣ Write down your elevator pitch

There’s a reason for this, the next drop from @Chris Kahler in the classroom about to be huge, we’re only 8 days out 🔥🔥

@Doug Miller & @Bruno Nogueira had a great time chatting with you both! Doug owns an accounting and tax firm in Florida, and when we jumped on a call and shared screens, we diagnosed his biggest bottleneck live: his lead intake was completely broken. His calendar was showing 2:30 AM slots, there were no follow up automations, and texting compliance was not set up. Within 30 minutes, we fixed his calendar settings, mapped out his full front end automation plan with appointment reminders, pre call pages, and onboarding flow, and built a clear roadmap for what to tackle first. His goal is to automate his own firm, then use that as proof to launch an agency helping other accountants do the same. Simple systems, massive time saved. Bruno is a digital strategist in Brazil managing all social media for a multi location dental clinic. He has been learning Claude Code and building with Paul and Seed, but he was stuck on how to scale beyond trading time for money on site. We broke down his real constraint: he had no data on what his efforts were actually converting into booked appointments. We mapped out a plan to build a proper funnel with a website, CRM, and scheduling, get leverage through analytics, and eventually offer AI booking agents on WhatsApp to local clinics as a scalable remote service. Completely different mindset walking out of the call. @Marcin Hakemer-Fernandez you're up next brotha man, see you at 3:30pm est. These 1:1 strategy calls are a big part of what makes Premium membership worth it. If you are grinding but feel stuck on what to focus on next, let’s talk. Spots are filling up fast, but I am more than willing to take the time to help! 📈 Upgrade here -> https://www.skool.com/cc-strategic-ai/plans

OpenAI just released an official plugin that lets you use Codex directly inside Claude Code. Not a hack. Not a community project. An official repo under the OpenAI GitHub org. What it does: 👉 /codex:review Automated code review that catches security holes, edge cases, and design flaws in 30 seconds 👉 /codex:adversarial-review Pressure tests your design decisions and challenges your assumptions 👉 /codex:rescue Delegates bug investigation to Codex in the background while you keep building Two competing AI models checking each other’s work. One terminal. Zero bad code shipped. I attached the full playbook below. It covers what it is, the step by step install in 2 minutes, and all three use cases with commands. I’m filming the full YouTube walkthrough on this today. I’ll drop the link in here when it’s live. If you’re shipping code with Claude Code, this is a no brainer. Install it, run /codex:review on your next feature, and tell me what it catches.
