Make launch and product animations with Claude in code, and budget for follow-ups

A creator's lab notebook shows Claude Opus 5.5 producing three studio-style animations in code, and how many follow-ups and hours each one really took.

How it went

Each piece took real iteration. The chrome loop took about 2 hours, 10 picture follow-ups and 12 transition checks, plus about 45 minutes and 5 follow-ups for sound.

  • The vague earbuds prompt came back with most of the clichés the directed prompt banned; the directed version took 15 follow-ups and about 90 minutes, plus 90 minutes and 12 follow-ups for sound.
  • The mascot took about 2 hours plus 70 minutes of sound; all 71 frame checks passed after 6 failures were fixed.
  • Claude can't hear: early mixes landed hits late and put energy where phone speakers play nothing.
  • A creator's own experiments, not client work.

PromptWritten by our editors from the source
Make a 6-second seamless loop, 1080x1080 at 60 fps, as a single HTML file using three.js [pin the version].

Goal: [one sentence on what the viewer should feel or understand].
Timeline: 0–1.0s [action]; 1.0–2.5s [action]; 2.5–6.0s [action].
Use easing [cubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1)], a 60 ms stagger, and anticipation before every big move.
Ban: dark space backgrounds, glowing rings, bloom, floating particles and made-up taglines.

After building, render frames 0, 30, 60 and onward, check every transition against these timings, and list what's off by frame number before fixing it.

Automate order-status and return tickets on a Shopify store

Footwear brand Orthofeet automated 56% of support tickets in under two months with Gorgias's AI Agent, beating its goal of 30% in 30 days.

How it went

Gorgias reports 56% automation in under two months, first responses down to 35 seconds for email and 13 seconds for chat, and double-digit yearly growth without adding headcount.

  • Vendor case study.
  • A third-party review of Gorgias's case studies puts typical automation between 26% and 56%; Orthofeet sits at the top.
  • Model the AI Agent's cost against your ticket volume before switching it on.
  • Text channels only; phone volume is not automated.

Audit our last 500 support tickets. Group them by intent: where's my order, returns, exchanges, sizing, product questions, other.

Show volume and average handle time for each, and mark which ones can be answered from order data and our policy pages alone.

For the top three, draft guidance in our brand voice with clear hand-off rules: health questions, angry customers and orders over $[amount] go to a person.

Marketing

Find email flows that are double-messaging your customers

April Polk of JaeLuxe Shoetique, an early Muse tester, had it find and shut down duplicate Klaviyo flows that were emailing customers twice.

How it went

Per Meta's launch post, the duplicate flows were found and turned off. No figures on unsubscribes or revenue were shared.

  • A Meta-selected tester quote for a launch: the best case, not an average.
  • Muse is available in the US and Canada only.
  • Changes require approval by default; keep it that way for anything customer-facing.

PromptWritten by our editors from the source
Review every active flow and campaign in Klaviyo.

List any pair of flows that can email the same person within 48 hours, with each one's trigger, audience and sends in the last 30 days.

Recommend which to pause or merge, and why. Don't change anything until I approve.

Common questions

What's the safest first AI project for a store?

Order-status and return-policy questions. They are repetitive, answerable from order data and your policy pages, and easy to audit.

What does AI support cost?

It depends on the tool. Gorgias bills its AI Agent per resolved conversation on top of the helpdesk plan, so model it against your ticket volume before switching it on.
