The person who built Claude Code just showed exactly how to use it.
30 minutes. Free. Straight from Boris Cherny himself.
Most people using Claude daily are missing 40+ features hiding in plain sight.
This single session is worth more than any $500 course.

Today, Sierra is releasing Ghostwriter, our agent for building agents. With Ghostwriter, you can create an AI agent for your customer experience — one that can chat, pick up the phone, speak dozens of languages, take action on your systems of record, and be protected with industry-leading guardrails — simply by having a conversation. No clicking, no forms, no menus.
Codex and Claude Code have transformed how we build software, making it possible for software engineers to orchestrate and review the work rather than doing all the work themselves. We think the same transformation will happen for all software. Rather than every enterprise app having a web app for humans and an API for automation, every software platform’s UI will be an agent that can do the work on your behalf.
I recorded a demo of my building and optimizing an agent with Ghostwriter so you can see how powerful and easy it is to use. It’s completely changed the way our early adopters build agents, and it’s changed the way I think about the software industry. Let me know what you think, and, if you’re interested in trying it out at your business, please reach out directly.
Just found the old list of patents out IP lawyers for Broadcast com were going to file but never got around to under Yahoo. Not saying they all would have been granted, but if you ever need prior art in this area, here you go lol.
