Tell me the one AI tool that, if it had been built just one or two years earlier, could have fundamentally changed how founders approach building a company.
spent 3 hours building an AI system that killed 10+ hours of monthly bookkeeping
Claude Cowork + skill + Notion + local files works like a charm
was drowning in receipts and expense tracking. every month = nightmare of categorizing transactions, hunting down missing receipts, reconciling credit cards
kept thinking there had to be a better way while manually entering line items at 2am before tax deadlines
finally tried training a model on my own expense patterns. used Claude for the logic, dumped 6 months of data into local files, set up categories in Notion
hooked it all up to my bank feeds using the structure my tax lawyer recommended. built in their compliance checklist so everything stays audit-ready
now it auto-categorizes 95% of expenses right. what used to eat up a whole weekend now takes a few minutes
the best automation is the kind where you forget the problem was ever there
full cycle moment
I now have an agent who's been testing the agent interface on his own and creating tickets whenever something doesn't work. These tickets are then handled by another agent
@elie2222@trust_mrr nothing is impossible but this amount sounds unbelievable
did you tried it out? for this amount it should provide a crazy amount of value for the user
The biggest mistake solo founders make when choosing tools is picking wrong.
Don't:
- Use whatever's popular
- Pick tools with the most features
- Choose based on hype
Do:
- Build a stack around your workflow
- Use less than you think you need
- Pick tools that ship your product faster
@itsolelehmann this, or people give AI access to their whole production system and wonder when they delete it entirely
like giving a intern access to whole your company structure on day one
