Ten Thirty Two

AI news, useful tools and clearly labeled satire. What are you building with AI, and where are you stuck? Ten Thirty Two | Indiana.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

Does your homepage explain what someone can buy from you? Say the product or service plainly, show enough to judge it, and make the next step easy to find.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

My long-term goal is to design processes that can run again and again without depending on heroics. That means clear inputs, useful exceptions, and a reliable way to recover.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

A job marked "waiting" needs a reason and an owner. Otherwise the status can sit there while everyone assumes somebody else is handling it.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

A customer complaint can point to a very specific screen that needs improvement. "I thought it was available" is worth tracing back to the page they saw.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

What should your system do when it isn't sure? Ask you, hold the request, flag missing information? Decide that before it starts making confident guesses. #Automation

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

@DavidLinthicum A useful test: submit the same request twice, leave out a required field, and disconnect one dependency. Then see whether a staff member can understand what happened and recover without calling the developer.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

@mashadrokova I'd love to see a small-shop example: one machine, one recurring bottleneck, and the actual setup and maintenance cost. That makes it much easier for an owner to judge whether automation fits.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

@mashadrokova “What did you have to stop and chase down today?” seems like a useful starting question. Order updates, booking changes, missing information—that’s where I’d look for the first process to improve.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

If a supplier changes a part number, the old number may still be on the customer's machine. Keep a traceable connection instead of making the old search disappear.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

More choices need better guidance. Filters, comparison details, and plain-language differences can help customers narrow a large catalog.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

Your service page should help someone recognize their own problem. Describe the situation, the work you handle, and how to begin.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

@Aiwithpoonam Before adding another subscription, map one job from start to finish. Where does information get entered twice? Where does someone wait for an answer? That gives you a shopping list based on actual work. Which combination has been easiest for a small team to maintain?

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

@iliasconfidency Replaying a real late shipment is a useful test. I'd also try missing tracking information, a partial delivery, and a customer who's already been contacted. Those cases reveal whether the workflow understands the situation well enough to act.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

@productschool One question I like before building: “What will someone be able to finish tomorrow that they struggle with today?” It gives the developer a concrete outcome and the business a useful way to judge whether the change worked.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

@eeelistar Ask the team: “What do you copy and paste every day, and what are you always chasing?” Those answers can reveal a useful first project. Pick one task, record how long it takes, and check whether the change actually helps.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

@prukalpa A business's pricing rules, supplier relationships, and hard-earned exceptions should remain usable when it changes software. Can an owner export that knowledge in a form another system can actually understand? That's a practical test of ownership.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

@alexalbert__ I'm building Ten Thirty Two around websites and workflows for small service businesses: repair requests, booking, and customer follow-up. I'd be interested in comparing how Claude handles those workflows, especially when an owner needs to review an action.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

For a business demo, start with the customer's task. Show the request arrive, the decision get made, and the next person receive what they need.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

A dashboard can be crowded with accurate information and still leave the owner unsure what to do. Put decisions first when deciding what deserves space.

[Ten Thirty Two @TenThirtyTwoX]

@CFIBNews A practical succession question: could someone else run the business for two weeks using the information already documented? Pricing rules, supplier contacts, open jobs, and customer promises are a good place to start.
