The problem

Every SME has processes that should be automated: lead follow-up, invoice chasing, report generation, data moved by hand between systems. Custom automation is usually too slow and too expensive to build one process at a time, so the work stays manual.

What I built

A build system on the Claude API that takes a plain-language description of a business process and turns it into a working, deployed automation. Spec in, running workflow out.
Parses a written spec ("when a new lead lands in the inbox, qualify it against these criteria, add it to the CRM, start this follow-up sequence") into concrete steps
Generates the integration code and workflow logic
Tests against sample data before anything touches live systems
Deploys with logging, and flags exceptions to a human instead of guessing

Why this matters for your project

This is the engine behind how I deliver client work. Because the build pipeline is itself automated, a workflow that would take an agency weeks gets scoped, built, and tested in days. That speed is the difference between automation that pays for itself in the first quarter and a project that drags on.

Stack

Claude API at the core. Integration code in Python and TypeScript, deployed on Vercel, connecting to whatever you already run: Gmail or Outlook, Google Sheets, CRMs, WhatsApp, webhooks, internal APIs.
