So I was chilling on the couch with my girlfriend, watching Captain America, while regularly checking Claude’s progress on a build. Then my girlfriend asked me: “What if someone sat at your laptop, opened your project file, and just told Claude to delete everything. Your GitHub repo, your whole project, and everything you’ve built so far?” Not going to lie, that made me pause for a second. It got me thinking. Has anyone actually put safeguards in place for this? For example, is there a way to prevent self-destructive actions from being carried out by Claude, such as deleting an entire repo or wiping a project, unless they go through some extra confirmation step? Something like requiring a password, encrypted approval, or some kind of manual safety check before commands like “delete this repo” or “remove the whole project” can actually run. I’m genuinely curious if anyone has thought about this before, and what solutions you’re using to protect against it.

It is super convenient to install it plugin and let Codex and Claude to summarize email for you. But I wonder how bad is the privacy risk of doing this? Welcome for any suggestions/inputs.

Hey everyone, I recently finished building my AI agency website and would love to get some feedback from the community. I'd appreciate any thoughts on the design, user experience, messaging, layout, or anything else that stands out. My goal is to keep improving it and make it as professional and effective as possible. Thanks in advance for taking the time to check it out. I'm looking forward to hearing your honest feedback and suggestions for improvement. Here's the link: https://veloro.teamveloro.workers.dev/

Hey Automation community! 👋 This took me 2 hours to put together. If you're looking for a proven way to get clients AT SCALE and actually make money for your AI automation agency, then this is for you. I run an AI agency that basically made no money because I had a hard time finding new clients. I tried cold email starting in November and it quickly become one of our most profitable acquisition channels. I knew NOTHING about cold outreach when I started. I learned A LOT along the way (including plenty of expensive mistakes), so here’s everything I wish I had known from day one. If you don't know what cold email marketing is, it's when you send out thousands of emails to potential leads you haven't spoken to before. The goal is for them to book a consult with you where you'll then close on a deal. If you do it badly, it will look like spam and nobody will respond. Do it where you target relevant people ready to buy and offer a lot of VALUE, and you will generate sales. Part 1: Technical Setup Domain Strategy - Buy dedicated domains just for email campaigns — never ever use your main company domain. - Set up DNS records immediately: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. - Use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for better deliverability (roughly $4–6 per account per month). Email Account Setup - Create 1–4 email accounts per domain. - Start slow: 10 emails per account per day, then increase volume by ~10% each day. - Max once warmed up: ~25 emails per account per day. - Example: 4 domains × 3 accounts × 25 emails = 300 emails/day to begin with. IMPORTANT: Always warm up accounts for at least 14 days before ramping up. Extra tips that help a lot: - Add real profile photos and complete the accounts. - Older domains tend to perform better when you can get them. - Set up a custom tracking domain for accurate open/click data. Choosing Your Sending Platform You can do it manually with the technical setup above but it's way easier to buy an email account that's already configured and ready to go. I ran high-volume campaigns using Instantly.ai because it has good deliverability, analytics, and tons of guides on it since it's used by many agencies to get clients. It’s not perfect but probably one of the best for cold email right now. But honestly, your lead list and outreach message matter more.

I’m trying to avoid the beginner trap of collecting tools without solving a real problem. If you were starting again what’s the first small automation you’d build and why? I’ll build the most useful suggestion and share what I learn.
