What they did

konstantinsaifo had Claude Opus 5.5 build, in about 6 hours, a planner for a 52 m yacht turnaround: 74 hours of work for 13 people finished in under a day.

Result (as claimed)

A schedule that fits a big multi-person job into one day.

Tools they used

Cost: Pricing depends on the tools you pick; check each official pricing page.

Set it up

  1. Map the task

    Write the trigger, the inputs, the decisions and the output. Note which steps need a human yes.

  2. Connect the tools

    Set up Claude with the narrowest permissions that work. Use a test account or sandbox first.

  3. Build the workflow

    Create the steps in order. Add an approval step before anything sends, pays or deletes.

  4. Run it on real but low-stakes data

    Run a few times, read every output, and fix prompts or rules that misfire.

  5. Schedule and monitor

    Turn on the schedule or trigger, and add a daily summary or alert so you notice failures.

Copy the full setup prompt

Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.

Please:
1. Ask me 3 short questions about my situation (accounts I have, budget, what I want the output to look like).
2. Propose a step-by-step plan using these tools or cheaper alternatives, with the time and cost of each step. Use official pricing pages; say "check pricing" if unsure.
3. Then do the setup with me one step at a time, waiting for my OK before anything that sends messages, posts publicly, spends money or deletes data.
4. Finish with a checklist to run it again next time.

Have Claude build a budget-vs-actuals report inside Google Sheets

Claude for Google Workspace (public beta on paid plans) opens in a sidebar in Docs, Sheets and Slides. In Sheets it writes formulas, builds pivot tables, native charts and new tabs, and can pull a range into Python for cleanup; Anthropic's example is a Q3 budget vs. actuals report with a tab per team and a summary chart that flags anything over budget.
