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.

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.

Support

Run customer support with a bot that asks before refunding

ChatPRD's support Bot works the Intercom and email queues every hour. In the week before the write-up, several customers asked where they could leave a review.

How it went

Claire reports that in the past week, several customers asked where they could leave a review for the support they got, which had never happened before.

  • No resolution-rate or ticket-volume numbers were published.
  • Refund authority stays with a human by design.
  • At the time, Grok Bots couldn't join group chats.

Run SEO with Claude doing the work and Search Console data doing the thinking

ChatSEO's co-founder says pruning and retargeting pages took a 50-page blog from 1,500 to 15,000 monthly clicks in three months, and documents the times Claude broke live pages.

How it went

He reports going from 1,500 to 15,000 monthly clicks in three months on a 50-page blog without publishing a new article, by cutting dead pages and pointing pages at queries Google already showed them for.

  • Self-reported, and he doesn't say how much of the gain came from AI.
  • Failures: Claude rewrote city pages and dropped their ranking tables, found live during a podcast recording; another edit deleted the key section of a comparison page.
  • On a fresh domain chasing competitive terms, he says the same process produces pages that rank around 40th.
  • Promotional: the course routes data through his product. A free route uses Search Console exports and Google Suggest.

PromptWritten by our editors from the source
Using my Search Console data, list every page with zero clicks and fewer than 50 impressions in the last 90 days, excluding pages published in the last 3 months.

For each page, recommend delete, merge (and into which page), or rewrite, with one line of reasoning from the data.

Safeguard before any live edit: list every table, form, call to action and embed on the current page, confirm each one survives in your edited version, and stop to show me the difference if anything is missing.

Operations

Triage six inboxes every hour and only get pinged for what matters

A chief-of-staff Bot sweeps six email accounts, Slack and calendars every hour, archives the noise and sends only high-signal alerts plus a morning brief.

How it went

It flags things like a spike in data transfer on her website, noting it can wait until after her meeting. Routines needed more explicit setup than in OpenClaw, but she calls them rock-solid once set.

  • She still writes high-stakes emails herself.
  • Grok's default writing read as clipped until it learned from her sent mail.

You're my chief of staff.

Every hour from 6am to 9pm, sweep [inboxes], [Slack workspaces] and [calendars].
Archive newsletters, receipts and notifications. Leave anything I can deal with later unread.
Message me only about: money, unhappy customers, deadlines in the next 48 hours, and anyone on [VIP list].

At 7am, send a five-line brief: what's new, what's due, what needs me.

Before you draft any reply, read my last 200 sent emails and show me a short style guide of how I write.

Marketing

Generate upload-ready Google Ads variations with your brand rules built in

A growth marketer who had never coded built a Claude Code workflow and a Figma plugin that cut ad-variation production from about 30 minutes to about 30 seconds.

How it went

Anthropic reports ad-variation production dropped from about 30 minutes to about 30 seconds per variant.

  • Vendor case study: Anthropic writing about its own product.
  • A third-party write-up puts a full campaign refresh at about two hours down to 15 minutes.
  • The workflow enforces Google's character limits instead of leaving them to chance.

Build me a /rsa command for Google Ads responsive search ads.

Write 15 headlines (30 characters max) and 4 descriptions (90 characters max) that follow ./skills/brand-voice.md. Flag any claim not backed by ./product-facts.md.

Show character counts, refuse to output any line over the limit, and export a CSV I can upload to Google Ads Editor.

Let Claude Code hand X research to Grok Bot mid-task

Riley Brown demoed Claude Code calling Grok Bot through a webhook skill whenever it needs current X posts, then finishing the original task with the answer.

How it went

A demo video plus a setup guide, with no business metrics. One reply says they set it up in about 30 minutes.

  • Promotional: the author's company, Agent Native, publishes the guide, which requires a sign-in.
  • Several replies argue the reverse works better: Grok Bot orchestrating, Claude Code doing the work.
  • Open questions went unanswered: how accurate the research is, and whether the Bot can act on the X account or only read it.

Skill: grokbot-research

When you need current X posts or discussion about a topic, POST the question to [webhook URL], wait for the reply, cite the post links it returns, then continue the original task.

Draft support replies inside your helpdesk with a self-hosted agent

A small-business owner wired Hermes Agent into Front with a write-only token so it drafts replies for his team. The goal is 80% less email writing; it is still a work in progress.

How it went

It reads the thread and writes a draft, but he said looking up answers in their software was still unreliable and the project was way harder than expected. The 80% figure is his goal, not a result.

  • A short, self-reported update, quoted in a third-party review; we couldn't load the original post ourselves.
  • Hermes is not a helpdesk product: by default its messaging gateway rejects unknown users, and its memory is shared across chats on a profile.
  • Keeping it behind your team, drafting only, is the safe shape.
View prompt
PromptWritten by our editors from the source
For each new thread in [helpdesk], read the whole conversation, then search [FAQ built from our last 500 sent replies] and [help docs].

Write a draft reply in our voice. If you can't find a supported answer, leave an internal note saying what's missing instead of guessing.

Never send. Drafts only.

Common questions

Should an AI agent talk to customers directly?

Start behind your team: the agent drafts, a person sends. ChatPRD's support Bot can request refunds, but the founder approves each one in Stripe.

How do we stop AI from breaking live pages?

Gate anything that touches production. In one SEO case, Claude dropped the ranking tables from live city pages; a before-and-after check of every table, form and call to action would have caught it.
