Building things with AI ✨ Founder @UserLoopHQ, Co-founder @CreateWithHQ Newsletter on building AI apps and agents: https://t.co/6oLs38rLds
Most @OpenAI Codex content is still too technical for non-developers. So I made a guide to show you how to use Codex to do more with AI across GTM, sales, content, customer support, research, and operations without needing an engineering background. I’m using Codex on the $20/month ChatGPT plan, and after spending the past month testing it as a non-engineer, I’m convinced most people are still underestimating how practical it already is. What’s in the guide: - How to install and get started with Codex - How to set up your workspace, folders, and context - How to use and create skills - When to use local vs GitHub - How to use threads, handoff, and commit without getting confused - How to do research, write content, and run quality checks across your work - How to set up automations and use slash commands like fast mode and plan mode This is for creators, marketers, operators, sellers, support teams, and anyone who wants to do more with AI using Codex as a non-developer. I recorded the full walkthrough and put together a free repo with the templates, prompts, skills, and setup I use. I’ll drop the guide in the comments below. Bookmark this and send it to a friend 🙏🏽
Introducing the new /crawl endpoint - one API call and an entire site crawled. No scripts. No browser management. Just the content in HTML, Markdown, or JSON.
Quick demo of the Claude Code system I built to generate hundreds of Meta ad creatives with Nano Banana, upload them to Meta automatically, and manage performance from one place. No need to log into Ads Manager at all 🙏 everything is uploaded via API and performance data can be pulled back on demand by chatting to Claude. Super valuable as a solo founder, it feels like it's my virtual marketing team 😂 Surprisingly straightforward to set up too. I’m sharing a write-up of the basics in my newsletter later today!
