New here and jumping into the 7-day challenge, so hi everyone 👋 What I built: An automated newsletter workflow. I hand it a topic, and it takes it the rest of the way: researches recent sources, drafts the copy in my brand voice, generates on-brand infographics, hosts the images, builds the email-safe HTML, and sends it to the inbox. Topic in, finished newsletter out. My first issue was on the rising cost of funerals and how final expense insurance helps. (Screenshots below 👇) One thing that clicked: The big lightbulb was how much you can hand off to the agent once the workflow is set up right. I give it a topic and it makes the calls the whole way down, research, stat selection, copy, layout, send. The trick is splitting the work into predictable stuff the tools handle and the judgment stuff the agent reasons through, so the whole thing runs start to finish without me hovering over it. Oh, and a fun little tell I learned to hunt down: those long dashes (the em dash) are a dead giveaway that something was AI-generated. So I had it strip them out so the writing actually reads human. 😅 One thing I'd improve next time: Three tweaks on my list. Bake the dash cleanup in so it's automatic every time. Add a step that double-checks the data points against their sources before they land in the draft. And build a quick compliance checklist into the flow so it catches missing disclosures or a wrong link on its own. Honestly, this was way more fun and way simpler to put together than I expected. Excited for Day 2. Anyone else building something automated? Would love to see what you all are cooking up. 🚀
