Just completed my first day of the challenge. This is my first time using Claude Code ever. Had fun learning it while building this Newsletter automation. I did go through a couple of iterations as the images didn't generate properly the first time. Didn't have time to create a transparent logo. In the next iteration, I will find out if claude code can edit images and logos based on my prompt. Overall, this was a great experience. Thanks, Nate, for making this so simple.

What I built: /research — buyer keyword extractor with HTML gallery output The skill searches the web via Firecrawl, scrapes the top results, and produces a self-contained HTML report you can open directly in a browser. It extracts product keywords organized by category (synonyms, product names, specs, use cases, navigation labels) + an image gallery pulled from every <img> tag on the page. Trigger: /research <topic> — or just say "research X for the UK market" and it picks it up naturally. One optimization I made: The first version returned a markdown text report. After watching it run, I realized the output was all words and no visual context — I had no feel for how the product actually looks on pages buyers visit. So I added formats: ["html"] to the Firecrawl call, extracted image URLs from <img src> tags, and rewrote the output as a styled HTML file with a product gallery. Now every report shows the actual photos customers see alongside the keywords. Second smaller one: I added a capital city rule, it automatically appends "Capital city" to the search query. If you say "German market" it appends "Berlin". This anchors results to where buyers in that country actually search from, instead of getting generic global results. Skill is ~130 lines. Built iteratively in one session by running real searches and adjusting based on what came back.

- What you built - Had a few round of trial, improved the chart, added sneak peak for the next week's newsletter added logo, my own profile photo and linkedin account. - One thing you learned - AI is king, best return on investment in my time and money - One thing you'd improve - I will schedule it, add linkedin blog post and linkedin posts #AISChallenge Shaun Hosseinzadeh Connect on LinkedIn →

Hi everyone just sharing my day one of the sis challenge done. I built a news letter for Aws related to AWS news Currently What I liked learning is all the ways how to structure the pipeline for workflows my favourite concept the smarter and crazier and creative you are you’ll end up surprising yourself 😜 One thing I would improve is probably more interactive or make it so it opens up automatically once you open your laptop I suppose Here is just some of the post note this is the inpromemnt demo which is far better than last time

This has been one of the most useful training programs so far. When I started, I didn't have the tools or knowledge to build a web scraper, run research pipelines, automate marketing, design n8n workflows, or schedule tasks. Now I have all of that set up inside my executive assistant. The next step is completing the marketing and lead generation workflow so I can land an actual paying client and use this system to execute projects at scale. In the coming weeks, I also plan to clean up and showcase my project portfolio, documenting what I know now and what I have built.
