@recap_david @mattlady PULSE

[David Roberts @recap_david]

I built a zero-person AI newsletter business that did $2,000+ in revenue last month.

No team. No payroll. No freelancers.

Just 4 AI agents running the entire operation (and I spend less than 4 hours a week on it).

Here's how the system works:
→ A CEO agent sets the vision and orchestrates every hire
→ A Growth Engineer scrapes local news, Reddit, and event venues into a daily JSON database
→ A Content Director reads that database, curates the best events, and writes every Thursday newsletter in my voice
→ A Sales Director fields every ad lead, generates ad creative with nano banana, and closes deals over email
→ All orchestrated through Paperclip AI & powered by Claude Code

Spokane Pulse (my local newsletter) now has 6,662 subscribers and a 47.5% open rate, almost double the industry average.

Local newsletters are quietly printing money. Naptown Scoop does $320K/year. Wichita Life clears six figures. The model is wide open in almost every city, especially when building it in an AI-native way.

If you want the full blueprint and step-by-step walkthrough video, Like, RT, and comment "PULSE" (must be following so I can dm you)

I'll send you the exact Paperclip AI company export I use to run Spokane Pulse. You can clone it, swap in your city, and ship.

@lukepierceops NICHE

[Luke Pierce @lukepierceops]

I mapped every AI automation opportunity across 25 industries.

10-15 pain points each. With the exact positioning, pricing range, and who to sell to.

This took me 4 years and 80+ client engagements to figure out.

A lot of AI agencies pick a niche and pray.

They don't know the actual pain points.
They don't know who the buyer is.
They don't know what these companies are already paying for broken solutions.
They don't know what the realistic project size is.

So they end up competing on price for generic "AI automation" gigs.

I've worked with marketing agencies, recruiting firms, e-commerce brands, law firms, real estate companies, healthcare practices, financial services, SaaS companies, manufacturing, construction, logistics, and more.

Every single one has 10-15 processes that are bleeding money because they're still done manually.

Here's what the guide covers for each industry:

→ The top 10-15 automation pain points (ranked by ROI)
→ Who the actual buyer is (CEO, COO, ops manager, etc.)
→ What they're currently paying for manual labor or broken SaaS
→ Realistic project pricing ($5K-$60K+ depending on scope)
→ The discovery questions that unlock the deal
→ How to position yourself as the expert even if you've never worked in that industry
→ Red flags to avoid (industries and company sizes that aren't worth it)

25 industries and 300+ specific automation opportunities.

This is the cheat code for picking your niche and knowing exactly what to sell before you ever get on a call.

Like + RT + reply "NICHE" and I'll send you the full guide (Must be following so I can DM)

@Suryanshti777 PLUG-INS

[Suryansh Tiwari @Suryanshti777]

This might be the biggest shift in knowledge work since GPT-4 launched.

Claude Cowork Plugins went live January 30.

Most people have no idea they exist.

Here's what they unlock:

Instead of typing the same prompts over and over, you install a plugin once — and Claude becomes a specialist.

A legal document reviewer. A financial auditor. A resume screener. A board deck writer.

I spent 40 hours building the complete guide:
53 pages of step-by-step instructions
Full plugin architecture (slash commands, sub-agents, MCP servers)
10 real workflows you can copy-paste today
