Most of you have heard the name and assumed it was a developer tool. It isn't. It's the thing I use to actually build what runs my business, and I'm not an engineer. Five short lessons: 1. What it actually is, and how it's different from the Claude app 2. Getting it running (10 minutes, one time) 3. The four-move loop every build follows 4. The three things to build first as a business owner 5. What to do when it breaks, and when not to use it By the end you'll have built one real thing. Go do lesson 1 now, then post what you're going to build in the comments. I'll tell you if it's a good first project or if you're starting too big.

Real talk — how many AI subscriptions are you actually paying for right now, and which ones are non-negotiable? I keep signing up for new ones convinced each is "the one" that finally makes me money, and now I'm just bleeding subscriptions with nothing to show for it 😅 For those of you actually making money with AI — what's the bare minimum stack? What would you cut first if you had to go down to just 2-3 tools?

Quick one that could be worth real money to you. Every business is sitting on a goldmine it forgets about. Old contacts. Past clients. Leads that went quiet. People who said "not right now" a year ago and never got followed up with. Most of your next sale is probably already in that list. You just never work it, because doing it by hand is miserable. So I built a simple system that does it with AI, in about 10 minutes. It sorts your old contacts into who to reach out to now, and drafts a personal message for each one, in your voice. I put the whole thing in a free guide. It's attached to this post. Steal it, use it, no strings. One rule though: only reach out to people you actually know or have permission to contact. Reconnecting with your own past clients is great. Blasting strangers is spam. Keep it to your real network. Try it and drop a comment below: how many "reach out now" contacts did it surface for you? Bonus points if you actually send one and get a reply. Let's see what everyone finds hiding in their list. Grab the guide in OUR CLASSROOM, run it today, report back.

Quick question. How many subscriptions are you paying for right now that only kind of do what you need? I counted mine a while back and it was embarrassing. A tool for this, a tool for that, forty bucks here, twenty-five there. Half of them I barely used, and none of them actually talked to each other. I was basically renting software that almost fit. Then I started building my own with Claude Code, and it changed how I think about all of it. Here's the part most people don't realize: you don't need to know how to code. You just describe the tool you want in plain English, and Claude Code builds it for you. The thing that used to need a developer now just needs you to explain what you want clearly. Today's hack walks you through building your first one in about 30 minutes. Here's what's inside: The 30-minute build. Pick a simple tool, describe it, test it, use it. Start to finish in one sitting, and you don't write a single line of code. The exact prompts. One to build it, one to tweak it in plain English when something's not right, and one to package it up so you could even hand it to a client. The real skill. This isn't about becoming technical. It's about learning to describe what you want. That's genuinely the whole game now. The tool stack. Claude Code plus a Claude plan you probably already have. That's it. Nothing new to buy. Honestly, once this clicks you'll never look at a monthly subscription the same way again. Where to get the PDF: It's in the Classroom under Weekly AI Hacks, and it unlocks at Level 2. If you're not there yet, it only takes a few minutes. You level up by engaging, so the fastest way is to comment on this post, leave a few comments on other posts around the community, and like a few things while you're in there. That's enough to get you to Level 2, and then the Claude Code PDF plus every past hack is yours. Drop a comment and tell me. What's the first tool you'd build if you could make anything? And if you want to go further than the manual version, I'm putting together my full Claude Code playbook for The AI Edge Pro, the exact builds I use for client work plus live sessions where we build real tools together.

Huge shoutout to the Top 5 members of The AI Edge for July. These are the people showing up, sharing what’s working, and pulling everyone else forward: 1️⃣ @Muhammad Haris 2️⃣ @Shahana Kamalenthiran 3️⃣ @Haran Muralee 4️⃣ @Maiyuran Gireedharan 5️⃣ @Sam M Special shoutout to Muhammad, who finished with more points than #2 and #3 combined. Completely ran away with it. That is what full-send looks like. 👏 To everyone who just missed the Top 5: the board resets today. August is wide open. And if you want your name up there next month, it is simpler than you think. Post the win you got this week. Answer one question you already know the answer to. Show up to Thursday Q&A. That is the whole formula. Let’s make August bigger. 🔥
