Curious what other founders are using.

[Nick Lewis @nick___lewis]

@devautomates Agreed, and the real unlock is memory.

Most people run Opus per-lead. The leverage is running it across your whole pipeline over time, so it learns what "qualified" actually looks like in your business, not just in theory.

[Nick Lewis @nick___lewis]

My agent stack:

- Inbox triage: Claude Opus 4.7
- Code writing: Claude Code
- Voice note to content: Claude Opus 4.7
- Lead research: Claude Opus 4.7 + Apollo
- Meeting notes: Fathom
- Workflow automation: n8n
- Quick image edits: Nano Banana
- Spreadsheet analysis: Claude for Excel

What's in yours?

[Nick Lewis @nick___lewis]

Anyone’s bigger than mine?

[Nick Lewis @nick___lewis]

How I use Claude Projects as a business owner:

- Weekly management accounts review
- Board and strategy prep
- Proposals and tenders
- Supplier negotiations
- Staff 1:1 prep and performance notes
- Exec summary pulled from every business
- Recruitment briefs and candidate review
- Strategic decisions with market context

Each project remembers everything. No briefing from scratch every time.

Other business owners, what are you running?

[Nick Lewis @nick___lewis]

If you run a business doing £500k+ and outreach is either (a) stuck in your head, (b) half-done by a VA, or (c) not happening at all, you're leaving pipeline on the table.
Reply or DM "AGENT" and I'll show you what an outreach agent would look like in your business.

[Nick Lewis @nick___lewis]

Most business owners know they should be doing cold outreach. Almost none of them do it consistently.
Not because it's hard. Because it's 5 jobs pretending to be 1: find leads, research them, write emails, chase replies, book calls.
Opus 4.7 just made all 5 of those one agent.
(DM "AGENT" at the end and I'll send you what it looks like in your business.)
🧵

[Nick Lewis @nick___lewis]

The pattern is obvious once you see it.
Most founders don't have an outreach problem. They have an "I can't do 5 jobs at once" problem.
Opus 4.7 quietly solved that.
The businesses that figure this out in 2026 will build pipeline while everyone else is still talking about it.
