What they did
Headed to a conference with 40 people they had never met, which would normally mean an evening on LinkedIn clicking through profiles one by one. They handed Claude Code a list of the attendees’ names and had it research them in parallel using their LinkedIn, connected through Chrome MCP.
How it went
Claude’s output was a full conference participant briefing with everything in one place, ready for their review within 5 minutes.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
Give Claude Code a list of names for an upcoming event, such as [conference attendees] or [meeting participants]. Connect it to your LinkedIn via Chrome MCP and ask it to research each person in parallel, then compile everything into one briefing document for you to review before the event.

About 15k pages of discovery stood between a solo practice and a summary judgment motion. Claude ran OCR, built embeddings and search scripts, then found evidence for each assertion, with traces to check.
Surveys, supplier risk, emissions reports, modern slavery checks: the data gathering never ends. With Claude Code they built tools that now do about 70% of it. Plus a game of Frogger, for breaks.
Markdown files should just open, so they asked Claude Code for a viewer. It opens instantly: faster, they say, than any other macOS app, and faster than Bitwarden's Chrome extension shows its fill menu.
Migrating a password reset flow, Claude Code and Opus produced code on par with a mid level developer. It needed close supervision throughout, and cost roughly 2 months of Pro subscription for about half a day's work.
A side project needed a launch video, but not an agency's bill. Claude Code built one from the codebase plus their feedback. It took a lot of iteration over 2-3 days, all on subscription token usage.
A URL shortener side project ran on AWS. Claude Code wrote the GitHub Actions workflows for the move and fixed each failure as it came up. The writer reports zero downtime.
