More than US$50K since the start of the year
TL;DR
What did u/gregogarrison use Claude for?
A small renewable energy installer in their sixties used Claude to connect an old database to HubSpot, auto-generate weekly ad reports and build one-click client proposals. They say they check the math and results and have learned to code at 62.
What they did
With Claude they merged an old database platform with HubSpot using webhooks, scripts and Python, set up weekly reports on Google ad spend, and made visual HTML client proposals that generate at the push of a button. They also use it to dissect the P&L, answer business questions and send a weekly tracker every Monday.
How it went
They say they check the math and results and have learned to code at 62.
