A week of building with AI tooling

I felt like some of these productivity boosting videos I see on Tik Tok are just attention seeking. I’m getting a massive benefit from AI tooling but they seemed far fetched.

I’ve built full test harnesses for many different models of VaR on tons of historical data to analyse to processing speed.

A full financial model including sensitive analysis, securitisation and Reg cost.

In the last two days a full CRM tool that has the Claude as its main interface. Full Miller Heiman style coaching capability, analyse call transcripts and update the CRM, advise on missing information and call prep. Fully integrated to Google with self hosted Twenty in the background.

This is all in just over a week.

As side tasks.

We don’t have the same cost to build lots of intenal tooling.

Just headed to bed as Claude is downstairs elaborating the company and potential client records doing what Clay cost a fortune to do previously. It’s incredible how fast this tooling will come.

Now just need to fill this round on DCN and we can launch a universal clearing offering.
