I just built a Claude skill that audits your entire Google Ads account in under 5 minutes 🤯 One prompt → a full account score, wasted spend breakdown, and a prioritized fix list telling you exactly what to change this week. All inside Claude Cowork. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who are running Google Ads but have no idea how much budget is leaking. If you're managing Google Ads and your "optimization" process is logging in, staring at the dashboard, sorting by cost, and hoping you spot the problem before it costs you another $500... This audit skill finds it for you: → Connects to your live Google Ads data via MCP → Scores your account across 6 dimensions: wasted spend, search term quality, keyword health, quality scores, budget allocation, and creative performance → Calculates your exact wasted spend in dollars — search terms burning budget with zero conversions → Flags quality score issues dragging up your CPCs → Identifies keyword cannibalization across campaigns → Surfaces your top 5 highest-priority fixes ranked by budget impact → Generates a clean audit report you can hand to a client or share with your team No CSV exports. No pivot tables. No guessing where the money went. What you get: → A single Claude skill file you install once → An account health score (0-100) every time you run it → Exact dollar amount of wasted spend identified → Prioritized action list — not "optimize your account," but "pause these 12 search terms and save $847/month" → Works with any Google Ads account connected I'm giving away the full audit skill — the actual .md file you drop into Claude and run against your own account.

Claude Cowork + Meta Ads is absolutely wild 🤯 I built an AI creative system that does what most ad teams can't. Every AI model I tested fell flat on ad creative. Generic hooks, surface-level angles, zero understanding of what actually converts on Meta. Then I got inside Claude Cowork. 12 hours later I had a full system dialed in for paid social creative. Here's what it does: → Analyzes your best ads and tells you exactly why they're winning → Generates fresh angles segmented by buyer awareness level → Writes first lines engineered to stop the scroll on Meta → Builds execution-ready briefs your creative team can run with immediately → Flags when your current ads are going stale and suggests pivots All inside one Claude Cowork workspace. No plugins. No extra tools. Here's who this is for: Brands spending $50K-$500K/month on Meta who are stuck in the same cycle: -> Your creative team keeps testing random ideas -> Your winners eventually die and the replacement process is slow -> Nobody can produce volume fast enough to keep up with the algorithm This system turns a week of creative strategy into a single afternoon. I packaged the whole thing into 50 ready-to-use prompts across 5 categories: -> Winning Ad Analysis -> Angle Generation -> Scroll-Stop Hooks -> Creative Brief Builder -> Ad Refresh & Fatigue Prevention Copy, paste, run.

I just built a $10K/month creative strategist inside Claude Code 🤯 Give it your competitor Facebook page URLs → it scrapes their ads, watches every video with AI, and delivers a data-backed creative brief with 10 ad concepts in your brand voice. All inside Claude Code. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who are still manually scrolling the Meta Ad Library, screenshotting ads into Google Docs, and guessing at what's working. If you're spending hours every week pulling competitor ads one by one, watching videos to figure out the hook, copying notes into a brief, and rewriting concepts from scratch every time... This system eliminates the entire loop: → Apify scrapes your competitors' active ads from Meta Ad Library (video + image) → Downloads every creative asset locally → Gemini watches each video and analyzes the hook, angle, visual format, copy framework, CTA, and emotional trigger → Runs the full batch and finds the patterns that repeat across 3+ ads → Claude generates 10 ad concepts using the proven mechanics, matched to your brand voice No manually scrolling the Ad Library. No screenshotting ads into docs. No guessing which hooks are actually working. What you get: → Individual creative breakdowns for every competitor ad (7 dimensions each) → A pattern report showing which hooks, formats, and triggers keep repeating → 10 ready-to-brief ad concepts traced back to real competitor data → A reusable system — new competitors, new brief, same pipeline The research that takes your team a full day now runs in 15 minutes for ~$3 in API costs. Built 100% in Claude Code with Apify + Gemini. I put together a full playbook showing you can build the entire thing step-by-step from scratch.

IF I WAS FORCED to build a $20K/month AI creative agency using nothing but Photoshop, starting from 0, here's exactly what I would do in steps: The production setup (Days 1–3) 1. Download the Higgsfield plugin inside Photoshop — takes 5 minutes 2. You now have: sketch-to-image, layer decomposer, mockup studio, relight, upscale, face swap, character swap, background removal, AI stylist — all in 1 tool 3. Old creative agency workflow: designer + photographer + editor + 3–5 day turnaround 4. New workflow: 1 person, Photoshop, 30 minutes per deliverable The offer (Days 3–7) 5. Pick 1 niche — ecom brands, real estate agents, or course creators all need visuals constantly 6. Build a simple offer: "10 ad creatives delivered in 24 hours — $500" 7. Old agencies charge $2,000–$5,000/month for the same output 8. Your cost to deliver: $0 beyond the plugin. Pure margin. 9. Create 3 sample mockups using the tool — drop a product image in, generate 9 variations, pick the best 3 10. That's your portfolio. Built in under 1 hour. Cost: $0. The client machine (Days 7–20) 11. Go on X and search "[niche] + need a designer" or "[niche] + creatives" 12. DM 50 people per day — "I'll make you 3 free ad creatives in 24 hours, no catch" 13. Deliver them in 30 minutes using the plugin 14. 50 DMs/day × 14 days = 700 outreach messages 15. Conservative 3% conversion = 21 people see the free work 16. Close 5 of them at $500 = $2,500 in week 3 The scale (Days 20–30) 17. Upsell every client to a $1,500/month retainer — 10 creatives/week, unlimited revisions 18. 1 client per day in Photoshop takes 45 minutes max 19. 10 retainer clients × $1,500 = $15,000/month 20. Add 3 one-off clients at $500/month = $1,500 21. Add a $997 "AI creative system" course teaching other people this exact workflow = $3,000+/month from 3 sales The math: 50 DMs/day × 30 days = 1,500 outreach messages 3% book a call = 45 calls 40% close at $1,500/month retainer = 18 clients 18 × $1,500 = $27,000/month recurring Time per client per day: 45 minutes Total daily work: 4–5 hours Every mockup — AI. Every restyle — AI. Every layer rebuild — AI. Every variation — AI. No photographer. No designer and no reshoot. Start it here. 👇

Claude Code + Google Stitch 2.0 is f*cking cracked 🤯 Google just dropped a free AI design agent that solves Claude Code's biggest weakness: frontend design. One screenshot of a high-converting landing page → a production-ready site for your brand in minutes. All inside Google Stitch + Claude Code. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who are building advertorial pages and product launch pages for Meta but burning days on designer back-and-forth. If you're running Meta ads and need 5-10 different landing pages testing different hooks, angles, and offers — each one targeting a different audience and pain point — you know the bottleneck isn't the ads. It's the pages. Briefing designers, waiting for revisions, paying $2-5K per page. Stitch eliminates the design bottleneck: → Find a high-converting advertorial that's scaling on Meta → Screenshot it and drop it into Stitch (powered by Gemini 3.1) → Stitch redesigns it with your brand's colors, fonts, and imagery using Nano Banana 2 → Edit sections visually — headlines, CTAs, layouts — without touching code → Export the code and paste it into Claude Code → Claude builds the full production site and deploys to Vercel or Netlify in 60 seconds No designer. No $3K per landing page. No Claude Code frontend that looks like a template from 2019. What you get: → Designer-quality landing pages and advertorials built in minutes, not weeks → Visual editing so you actually see the design before you code it → Nano Banana 2 generating on-brand product imagery and hero shots → A repeatable system — new angle, new page, same pipeline Built 100% with Google Stitch 2.0 + Claude Code. I put together a full playbook showing the exact workflow: how to find winning pages, redesign them in Stitch, and deploy with Claude Code.

If last year was great. This year was 🤯. Alhamdullilah. 10 days. 3 houses. 22 Muslims in tech. The houses were packed mashallah with founders including 3x YC founders, exited founders, VCs in the Muslim space, apps with millions of users, founders of Muslim accelerators and engineers working at leading companies. People flew in from 🇬🇧🇦🇪🇨🇦🇺🇸🇧🇭🇳🇱🇮🇪 to make this. SF Tech House | 2024 Edition | The Highlights: ✨ House dinners with Muslims from companies including Microsoft, Tesla, Google, YouTube & Neuralink ✨ Private house fireside chats with special guests including exited founder to Uber, ex-VP at Google Cloud and Sami Hamdi (Sami Hamdi سامي الهاشمي الحامدي) ✨ Muslim Tech Fest (Muslim Tech Fest) - Haroon's talk was literally one of the best I've ever heard. ✨ Discussions around AI & Ethics at Zaytuna College with Hamza Yusuf. ✨ Visits to Stanford (absolutely stunning ... had to get me some merch) & Berkley university campuses ✨ MTW Kick Off Lunch at Sals + Tech Dinner at Zareens ✨ Lunch + tour of Google with their Muslim Network including a Demo Day at their offices. We asked some important & tough questions. ✨ White Water Rafting on South Fork American River. ✨ Q&A at YC with YC Partner Brad Flora who was very nice and accommodating. ✨ & Buildspace tour with Omar Waseem + Q&A with their GP Hubert Thieblot ✨ Visit to Apple Visitor Centre in Cupertino ✨ Experiencing Waymo (driverless taxi) in San Francisco ✨ BBQ with Muslims in Tech in South Bay ✨ Marshmallows on the Beach with the Muslim Bay Area community It was an unbelievable week packed with value and amazing vibes alhamdullilah ❤️ The talent in the house was insane. A text I received from someone staying in the house after returning home: "I can without doubt say that there are a few unicorns coming out of that house. What you’ve done is unprecedented for our community, I always felt we were the underdogs, I can almost certainly say after this that we are now in the lead. I don’t think there is any other community who is so supportive of each other, while being ambitious to try to build great things alhamdulilah." We all left with huge determination to build impactful solutions for humanity, to encourage ihsaan (perfection) and and to bring some of our learnings from the Bay Area to our respective countries to help build Muslim tech ecosystems across the world. I pray this trip helped plant some seeds 🌱 We'll be measuring the success of it by the progress we see in the years to come inshaAllah!

I just built a Claude prompt library that runs your entire DTC marketing operation 🤯 100+ prompts organized by function: competitor research, creative briefs, ad copy, hooks, landing pages, performance analysis, customer review mining, and more. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who are still prompting Claude from scratch every time they open a new chat, rewriting the same context, and getting generic output that sounds like every other AI-generated ad. This prompt library eliminates the entire loop: → Competitor Research: scrape and analyze competitor ads, extract winning hooks, map creative strategies, build competitive battlecards → Creative Briefs: generate data-backed briefs from ad performance, write iteration briefs, new concept briefs, test plans → Ad Copy & Hooks: 20 hooks across 10 frameworks, full ad copy variations, persona-specific angles, fatigue-busting rewrites → Landing Pages: audit any landing page against DR best practices, clone high-converting advertorial structures, write product page copy → Performance Analysis: audit Google Ads accounts, find wasted spend, build visual dashboards, weekly narrative reports → Customer Intelligence: mine reviews for ad copy language, extract objections, find unexpected use cases, build persona cards from real data → SEO & Content: find keyword gaps, write content in your brand voice, optimize product listings for AI shopping (ChatGPT, Gemini) → Email & SMS: launch sequences, weekly newsletters, abandoned cart flows, post-purchase nurture No more blank-page prompting. No more re-explaining your brand every session. No more generic AI output that sounds like a template. What you get: →100+ copy-paste prompts organized by the 8 functions DTC teams actually run →Every prompt pre-loaded with the context structure Claude needs to give you real output →Prompts that reference your brand voice, your ICPs, and your real data — not generic placeholders →A living library you can customize once and reuse across every campaign I put together the full prompt library as a single downloadable playbook: organized by section, ready to copy-paste into Claude today.

Claude Code Agent Teams are f*cking ridiculous 🤯 One prompt → a team lead breaks your project into pieces, spins up multiple AI agents, and they all work on different parts simultaneously. Research, builds, reviews, and debugging: all happening at the same time. All inside Claude Code. If you're running complex projects where every step waits on the last one... Agent teams eliminate the entire bottleneck: → Tell Claude what you need and describe the team structure in plain English → A lead agent breaks the work into a shared task list → It spawns 3-5 teammates — each with their own context and workspace → Teammates research, build, test, and review in parallel → They message each other, share findings, and challenge each other's work → The lead synthesizes everything into a finished deliverable No managing agents yourself. No waiting for step 1 to finish before step 2 starts. No single-lens reviews that miss half the issues. What you get: → Competitive research across 5 brands done in minutes instead of hours → Multi-component builds where frontend, backend, and data layers happen simultaneously → Creative reviews from 3 different angles at once — brand voice, conversion, differentiation → Funnel debugging where 4 agents investigate 4 theories and debate until they find the real answer Built 100% in Claude Code with one settings change. I put together a full DTC playbook: 5 workflows with copy-paste prompts, the exact setup process, token management tips, and honest guidance on when agent teams are worth it vs. when a simpler approach is the better move.

Fable 5 comes back!It can now build playable game prototypes. I think it is actually a signal for where AI coding is going. Making a game is not just “write some code.” Even a small browser game needs: game loop;character movement;collision logic;scoring system;UI states;physics tuning;visual feedback;bug fixing;playtesting This is why game prototyping is a great test for AI models. A model cannot fake it with a pretty answer. Either the game runs, or it does not. What impressed me about Fable 5 is that it is useful for the messy middle: turning an idea into mechanics, turning mechanics into code, debugging broken interactions, and iterating until the prototype feels playable. But here is the practical part: I would not use the strongest model for every step. For game building, I would split the workflow: 1. Fable 5 for game design + architecture 2. a fast coding model for routine implementation 3. a vision-capable model for screenshot/UI feedback 4. a cheaper model for docs, test cases, and small fixes 5. fallback when latency, cost, or output quality becomes a problem That is the real AI coding stack. Not “one magic model does everything.” More like: the right model, for the right task, at the right cost, with fallback when things break. This is why I’ve been looking at ZenMux ZenMux. ZenMux gives developers one gateway to access multiple leading AI models, with OpenAI / Anthropic / Google Vertex compatible APIs, cost tracking, quality benchmarks, auto-routing, and compensation when output quality, latency, or throughput falls short. If AI can now make games, the next question is not just “which model is strongest?” It is:how do we manage the whole model workflow Fable 5 shows the creative ceiling. ZenMux is closer to the infrastructure layer you need when AI coding becomes a real production habit.

It's 2030 and you are reviewing humanoid robots. A Tesla. A Google. An Apple. An OpenAI. A Meta. A Figure. And a bunch of Chinese-made ones. Which one is best, and why? I think the Tesla understands the world much better. Why? There were eight Teslas around me on the freeway today. Start there. No other robot company has that data. But my robot is parked at the local high school twice a day. Its cameras see humans in all of our weirdness. How we move. Where we go. Where we walk. Who we talk with. What you are wearing. Whether your hair was combed this morning. That data will lead to robotics breakthroughs. Apple might keep up with its Vision Pro data, but it is too freaked out by the privacy implications of using said data. (On the front are six cameras and a couple of TOF -- Time Of Flight -- sensors that can see everything in your home in great detail). Google has a lot of data, for sure. All my: 1. Email. 2. Calendars. 3. Photos. 4. TV watching behavior. 5. Contacts. 6. Documents and spreadsheets. 7. Files. 8. Location data. So I expect Google's robot will be attractive to many. But how do you see the others shake out over the next five years? Make some guesses. But remember what an AI pioneer told me years ago about AI: it's all about the data. The Chinese ones have huge advantages: the Chinese have more data on their citizens, and many more citizens to boot AND they can make robots cheaper than we can. But now that you know OpenAI is building its own robot you have caught wind of what I've heard from many in San Francisco and Silicon Valley: that humanoid robots are the real prize of AI and will be highly profitable for those that can make them and find customers willing to buy them. Here, too, I learned long ago never to bet against Elon Musk. Will you?

Google Gemini Omni is f*cking insane for UGC ads 🤯 Google just dropped their new video model and I spent the past 24 hours putting it through its paces. Multi-shot UGC ads -> Consistent creator across every scene ->Agent mode that runs the whole session. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who need UGC creative at volume without hiring creators or paying per-video platform fees. If you're briefing creators every week, waiting days for footage, paying $150–$300 per UGC video, and still getting ads that miss the brand vibe... Gemini Omni eliminates the entire loop: → Generate a realistic AI creator from a single image prompt → Upload your creator + product image, reference both by filename in every prompt → Agent mode writes and runs your full production session → Creator stays consistent across every scene change and outfit → Product label accurate, correct color, readable text → 5-shot direct response ad in one briefing No creator briefs. No waiting for footage. No per-video platform fees. What you get: → Multi-shot UGC ads with a locked creator across every scene → AI creator image prompt tuned for realism — not plastic AI faces → Asset tagging system that keeps your product consistent shot to shot → A reusable workflow: new product, new angle, same pipeline I also built a Claude Cowork skill that writes your entire production package before you generate a single frame: Creator prompt, shot list, dialogue, asset-tagged prompts, and voiceover script. I put together a full playbook with the Claude skill file and the exact workflow to run this yourself.

By providing grants and cultivating a nurturing environment, UNHRD makes artists' dreams worldwide a reality. How do we do this? What makes UNHRD unique is how we're going to do all of this on-chain. This is our early concept of the UNHRD Protocol. In the world of philanthropy, especially when it involves artists and creative projects, managing and distributing funds efficiently and transparently can be a challenge. That's where the UNHRD Protocol comes in—a solution we're actively working to build, aiming to transform how financial support is handled in the artistic community. What is the UNHRD Protocol? The UNHRD Protocol is a planned blockchain-based system, a series of smart contracts designed to streamline the process of managing and distributing funds. In simpler terms, it's like a highly efficient digital ledger tailored for philanthropy, ensuring that every penny goes where it's supposed to, without the usual red tape or delays. Application to UNHRD: Streamlined Fund Distribution: Whether it's grant money or proceeds from NFT sales, the protocol ensures swift and accurate distribution to artists and other beneficiaries. Transparency and Trust: Every transaction, from donation to disbursement, is recorded on the blockchain, fostering trust and transparency among artists, donors, and the public. Reduced Overhead: By automating many of the administrative tasks, we reduce overhead costs, ensuring more funds directly support the artists. At UNHRD, we believe that through blockchain technology, we can create a more equitable and accessible platform for artists worldwide. Our commitment goes beyond just funding - it's about building a community, nurturing talent, and paving the way for a new era of digital art and philanthropy. Join us in this exciting journey as we redefine what's possible at the confluence of art, technology, and philanthropy.

I just built a Claude skill that writes 20 Meta ad hooks in 60 seconds 🤯 Give it your product, your audience, and your best-performing angles → it writes hooks across 10 proven frameworks, each one targeted at a specific customer pain point. All inside Claude Cowork. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who are still writing hooks from scratch every time they need new creative — staring at a blank doc, scrolling competitors for inspiration, and recycling the same 3 angles because you ran out of ideas two weeks ago. If you're launching Meta Ads and your hook writing process looks like this — open a Google Doc, try to remember what worked last time, write 5 hooks that all sound the same, run them, 4 flop, go back to the doc, repeat ... This skill replaces the entire process: → You give it your product name, key benefits, and target customer → It writes hooks across 10 frameworks: problem-solution, curiosity gap, bold claim, social proof, before/after, us vs them, question, contrarian, urgency, and storytelling → Each hook targets a specific pain point — not generic "Shop now" copy → Generates 2 variations per framework so you have options to test → Outputs everything organized by framework with notes on when to use each one → Takes about 60 seconds No blank page. No recycling the same 3 angles. No writing 5 hooks that all sound like the same ad. What you get: → 20 hooks across 10 proven frameworks, ready to drop into your ads → Each hook written for a specific customer pain point, not a generic audience → Framework labels so you know which hook type you're testing → A reusable skill — run it for every new product, every new campaign, every new angle sprint → Works from a product brief — no API connection, no CSV export, no setup beyond installing the skill One product brief. 20 hooks. 60 seconds. I put together the full skill file plus a playbook showing how to install it, customize the frameworks, and run your first hook sprint.

This guy built a visual scanner that reads 468 points on his face and 42 points on his hands from a regular webcam and turns them into a cloud of thousands of particles right between his palms. Inside, MediaPipe and TouchDesigner are linked: the first captures hands and face from the webcam with high accuracy, the second turns those coordinates into a live plane and feeds it into a POP system that instantly generates a swarm of particles in the shape of a head. No studio, no render farmer, no VR headset. Just a laptop, a webcam, and 1 TouchDesigner session. And traditional VJ studios keep teams of 5 people on a setup with lighting, custom hardware, and commercial plugins, while his expenses are only a TouchDesigner subscription and a regular USB camera. One laptop runs MediaPipe and TouchDesigner simultaneously, holds the camera stream at 60 FPS without drops, and in parallel processes 468 face points + 21 points on each hand. The camera captures frame after frame, MediaPipe in real time sends TouchDesigner the finger coordinates and face geometry, and the POP operator inside the engine translates those numbers into thousands of particle points with colors from bright pink to gold. This setup immediately defines the role of the tool and the limits of its autonomy. It knows where the fingertips are at every moment of the frame. It knows how to read the face geometry at any angle to the camera. It knows how to draw a swarm of particles between them with the right color and contour. → MediaPipe pulls 468 points from the face and 21 points from each hand, 60 times per second → TouchDesigner receives those coordinates, builds a virtual rectangle between the fingertips, and feeds it into the POP system → POP generates thousands of particle points in the shape of a head, coloring them in a gradient from bright pink to gold → The HUD layer adds green corners and a blue neon frame, styling the image like an AR interface → All layers assemble into 1 real-time frame that projects back onto the video in the camera window → The final image is recorded to a file or broadcast to a projector for a live installation And only when the guy spreads his hands wider does the plane between the palms stretch; brings them together, it narrows. Otherwise the system runs on its own. And when he moves from his home room to a concert hall, the same laptop with the same webcam launches the same TouchDesigner session in just 5 minutes, without reconfiguration, without a new team, and without a single line of new code. In his work setup there is no studio of his own and no team for assembly. On the desk sits a laptop with a webcam, on top run MediaPipe and TouchDesigner with POP operators, and the same setup through a USB camera moves to any concert without a new configuration. Out of everything I have seen this year, this is the cleanest Creative Coding setup on 1 laptop: 0 render farms, 0 studio lighting, and between them 3 libraries, thousands of particle points, and 1 webcam.
