@AlfieJCarter COWORK

Claude just made cold email ops fully autonomous. And most people running Instantly or Smartlead have no idea this exists. Here is what cold email used to look like: - You wrote copy with AI - You logged into your sending tool manually - You checked metrics yourself - You made changes by hand Here is what it looks like now: - Claude logs in - Claude checks performance - Claude makes changes - You review the results With Computer Use, Claude can see your screen, move your mouse, click buttons, navigate dashboards, and update live campaigns. For cold email, that means Claude can: → Pause sequences under 1% reply rate after 500 sends → Increase daily send volume on sequences booking meetings → Edit subject lines and first lines on losing steps → Duplicate and spin winning variants → Clean lead lists → Pull reply and booking reports → Organize everything into spreadsheets Here is the system I built: 1) Desktop Setup → Mac with Claude desktop app → Claude Max plan or approved waitlist access → Computer Use enabled in settings 2) Ops Folder Structure → Create a "Cold Email Ops" folder on your desktop → Inside: Reports, Daily Summaries, Performance Exports → Tell Claude: "You have access only to this folder for saving files" 3) Dashboard Read Test → Before automating anything, prompt Claude to walk through your dashboard without making changes → Confirm it correctly reads reply rate, send volume, and sequence status → Fix any misreads before giving it control 4) Rules Playbook → Pause sequences under 1% reply rate after 500 sends → Increase volume only on sequences booking meetings → Never edit copy on campaigns under 200 sends → Always export reports before any changes 5) Sequence Pausing Automation → Prompt: "Review all active sequences. Pause any with reply rate under 1% and over 500 sends. Export a report first and ask for confirmation." → Saves 30 minutes of manual work per session 6) Volume Scaling Automation → Prompt: "Find sequences booking meetings in the last 7 days. Increase daily send volume by 20%. Cap at safe limits and confirm before applying." 7) Losing Step Rewrites → Identify steps with 300+ sends and under 0.3% reply rate → Claude rewrites only the subject line and first line → Creates a new variant and leaves the original untouched 8) New Sequence Drafting → Claude scans your highest reply rate campaigns for a given ICP → Mirrors subject line length, first line style, and CTA format → Saves as draft inside your ESP 9) Weekly Performance Report → Claude pulls last 7 days data, saves CSV to your ops folder → Writes a summary: reply rate changes, paused sequences, top performers → One document instead of five dashboard tabs This is the same system we use at Conigma to run cold email ops without manual micromanagement.

@m_takewaka The Michelin Guide contains 58 BBQ restaurants, 31 are in Texas. Texas has 19 of the 33 with a Bib Gourmand recommendation, and all 4 BBQ restaurants in the world with a Michelin star are in Texas. The BBQ war is over, Texas won. guide.michelin.com/en/us/restaura…

@SMB_Attorney My deals finally done?!?!?

Absolutely massive announcement coming from SMB Law Group tomorrow... 🫣

@pjmcgeary They all get pushed into Hatch and drip automation begins. Outbound CSRs then continually call all unbooked leads until we convert or lead is dead.

If someone (aka another service business owner) can help me answer this, I’ll love you forever. How do you manage your leads at scale and make sure nothing falls through the cracks WITHOUT having something clunky and over-automated like GHL? For example, you get leads in one day from: -FB message -FB ad form submission -Website form submission -Phone call -Text referral ***My question is this — what system do you use to make sure all of those leads are being entered into a follow up cadence if they are not booked immediately?*** We’ve been doing this manually (and I’m doing a lot of the heavy lifting by managing the pipeline and making sure our team doesn’t miss anything) but I know for a fact I need to use some sort of automation to systemize all of this. I’ve been an absolute hound on this and it’s made me a lot of money, but I know to get my time back and to continue scaling I need to shift at least a little bit.

@Ry__Rob Just drop this request into Claude itself.

I’m looking for some Claude help I’m super interested in the power of AI and play with it a decent amount but feel like my projects ask too much of it but see people do much cooler things. I’m looking to link Claude to my inbound invoices email, save the PDF, sort it to a mail folder, and then the tricky part is - I’d like it to scan the document for totals owed, input into my CRM system job folder based on address and then enter as a payment. Acculynx is the CRM for reference

@bibelhausen @ClintFiore @patrickdichter Not that kind of island.

@Hayden__Slack @ClintFiore @patrickdichter

Another CPA firm (<5M EBITDA) just got an IOI at 12X. 80% cash at close. Twitter still in disbelief. They didn't believe me last time when one sold at 10X and won't believe it again this time at 12X. Meanwhile, if you have a firm that's dialed in and doing 7-figures of EBITDA, let me know if you want to sell! I know who is paying.

@patrickdichter @ClintFiore Haha If you’re in town, it’s always on the house.

@Hayden__Slack @ClintFiore We’re not 7 figures of EBITDA yet. So I can’t afford an island but I can afford tickets to Billy Bob’s

@ClintFiore Your Reta has worn off. Time to take it again 😭

In America you're supposed to be able to get whatever you want, whenever you want. Fair food availability is a massive tear in the fabric of our society that must be mended.

I'm still mad nobody has made a mainstream fast food restaurant with state fair type of foods. Why do I have to go to a fair to get this delicious stuff?

@realestatedude0 Choose concrete and the company could likely be back 2-3 times doing warranty adjustments during a 10 year span. Really the cost difference of repairing the drywall cracks, repainting, etc vs the steel piers during those 10 years.

@Hayden__Slack 10 years

Want to own rentals. Must have a great handy man, roofer, plumber & electrician.

@realestatedude0 How long until you sell the property?

@Hayden__Slack Steel piers or concrete cylinders for slab foundation

Starting a CFO search, where should I be looking? 10M EBITDA, 200 employees, 3 states, 4 locations. Halp!

@realestatedude0 Want a heart attack? Call Groundworks or RamJack.

@Hayden__Slack San Antonio

Even slab foundation needs foundation work. Foundation Gc’s make great $.

@Peter_Quadrel AI

NanoBanana 2 just made your static ad agency obsolete. And I just open sourced the entire tool. Drop your product page URL. It pulls your logos, product images, fonts, colors, and brand voice automatically. Builds a full brand guide for you. Then generates ad creatives at scale using nearly 4,000 high-performing ad templates across 8 niches. It dynamically matches the best templates to your brand and brief. Here's what makes it different: → Instant resizing Get any ad in 1x1, 4x5, 9x16 with one click. No regeneration. No broken text. → Highlight-to-edit See an issue? Highlight the area and tell it what to fix. → Multiple brand profiles Run different brands or segments from one tool. → Auto persona building from real customer reviews → Multiple QC loops on briefs and final assets Catches AI-isms before you do. → Upload your own templates or use ours Runs locally. Just needs your Claude and Google API keys. This is the lite version of what we use internally. You get the full finished tool AND the open source code to make it your own. Creatives still design the system, this handles iteration and scale. Want a copy to download? 1. Like this post 2. Comment "AI" Will DM you the tool along with a tutorial shortly after.

@lukepierceops Blueprint

Automation consultants charge $15K for what Claude Code now does in 2 hours. I know because we're the ones who used to charge it. Here's the exact process: Step 1: Discovery (20 min) → Paste your org chart, tool stack, and top 3 bottlenecks → Claude interviews you with clarifying questions → Outputs a full process inventory ranked by time cost Step 2: Workflow Mapping (15 min) → Describe any department's daily operations in plain English → Claude builds a complete process map → Every manual handoff, redundant step, and automation trigger flagged Step 3: Opportunity Audit (10 min) → Feed it the workflow map output → Returns your top 10 automation opportunities → Ranked by ROI, complexity, and build time Step 4: Architecture Design (20 min) → Claude designs the full system architecture → Which tools connect where, what the data flow looks like → Agents for complex logic, linear flows for the repetitive stuff Step 5: Build (ongoing) → Claude writes the actual workflow JSON → Self-documents everything as it builds Step 6: The output. A live dashboard your whole team can work from. → Clickable process maps for every department → Automation opportunities ranked by ROI → Implementation progress by phase → KPIs updated in real time → One link you share with clients, freelancers, or your team to execute This is what we hand every client at the end of discovery. The .md file is what makes all of it possible. Without it, Claude guesses. With it, Claude builds like a $15K consultant. Like this post, RT and comment "BLUEPRINT" and I'll send you the full prompt stack and the .md file we use internally. (Must be following so I can DM you) 🎁 Bonus: The first 100 people get a real Precision AI Blueprint — an actual sample audit doc from a client engagement so you can see exactly what the output looks like.
