Built an AI newsletter pipeline. Biggest unlock: structure beats raw prompting. WAT framework (Workflows / Agents / Tools) changed the game. Instead of one giant blob of run-it-all code, the LLM gets a clean split: markdown SOPs for what to do, Python scripts for the deterministic work, and the LLM itself just orchestrating. Way more reliable, way easier to debug, and the codebase actually stays organised as it grows. Stack: - 🔍 Tavily for web search (solid free tier — Perplexity now needs a $50 min top-up 😬) - 🧠 Claude for reasoning + summarising - 🎨 Kie.ai (Nano Banana wrapper) for image generation - 📬 Gmail for sending the final newsletter out The cool part: watching a structured agent stitch all four together end-to-end — search → summarise → illustrate → assemble → send — without me babysitting each step. The CLAUDE.md does the heavy lifting upfront, so the AI doesn't drift mid-task. Takeaway: the difference between "AI that kinda works" and "AI that ships" is almost entirely structure. Give it a mental model, guardrails, and a place for everything — then let it cook 👨‍🍳 6 days to go. 🚀
