[Luke Pierce @lukepierceops]

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.

@Mho_23 Voice

[Miko @Mho_23]

i found a way to make AI videos that don't sound like AI...

example below....

sora 2, veo 3.1, kling 2.6 are decent but they all have that robotic AI accent that everyone can detect immediately

and when people try replacing the voices with elevenlabs, it always sounds way too professional

like it's recorded on a professional mic in a studio

but if i'm making a UGC video of someone in their room, i don't want studio quality

it should sound like it's actually in that room

the workflow i use completely removes that fake AI voice sound

why this matters:

when your AI voices sound too polished or robotic, people notice. their guard goes up. they disengage.

but when your voices sound like they're coming from a real person in a real room, that's when they work the best

i created a guide breaking down exactly how:
> to create voiceovers that sound completely real
> to replace fake-sounding voices in AI videos (not elevenlabs)
> to make voices sound like they're in the actual environment, not a studio

RT + reply "VOICE" and i'll send you the FULL guide (must follow so i can DM)

@jhaaren love that last one of the train

75% of U.S. jobs paying more than $35,000 a year require a college degree and yet only 38% of Americans have one. 2/3 of Americans are locked out of opportunity. ⁦@FortuneMagazine ⁦@Google⁩ #skills #career #job #leadership #opportunity #skillsgap https://t.co/AodXkCT7aU

@jhaaren @WdeB Hey @WdeB, your hair is looking a little grey my friend!

@jhaaren It almost sounds like a fire crackling. Very satisfying.
