Three times the output, and done by 3pm, with Claude on the busywork

Pulling and cleaning public data into a dashboard, turning call recordings into action points, skimming podcasts by transcript: Claude did the grind around their meetings all day.

“I achieved about three times as much today as I would have done a year ago.”

What they did

Gave Claude an API’s swagger file to write code that pulled public data, cleaned it, queried a second API, combined the sources, extracted data from PDFs with tesseract, and built a dashboard for their users. Ran call recordings through local Whisper and had Claude extract action points, and turned an expert interview into an article outline with key quotes. Also had Claude write scrapers, and searched podcast transcripts instead of listening.

How it went

All of it ran alongside calls and meetings, with them just checking progress and writing new prompts. They estimate they got about three times as much done as they would have a year earlier, and finished work at 3pm.

Here's the transcript of my call: [paste]. Extract the action points as a list, each with an owner and a due date if mentioned, then the decisions made and the open questions. Keep it short enough to paste into an email, and don't invent anything that wasn't said.
