  • Test local web apps and fix errors in one session

    Claude Code with Claude in Chrome writes code, opens localhost, clicks through the UI, reads console errors and fixes them without the developer touching the browser.

    How it went The filter example took three iterations with no browser work from the developers. The setup is limited to a developer's own workstation: it needs a visible Chrome window, so no CI or headless runs, and it works in Chrome and Edge only.

  • Research companies and fill a CRM for outreach

    Claude Code researches target companies, creates Attio CRM records via MCP, builds personalized reports and drafts outreach; a first run contacted 80 companies for one sale.

    How it went The first run contacted 80 companies and produced one sale. Review and message prep dropped to about one minute per lead, against an estimated one to two hours without the system.

  • Compile deductions and Schedule C with Claude Code

    Claude Code gathered charitable contributions and itemized deductions from sheets, email and statements and built a Schedule C; some categorizing stayed manual.

    How it went He says the work took about three hours, versus roughly $1,000 for an accountant. Sorting, filtering and CSV parsing went well, but medical and childcare categorizing stayed manual.

  • Run an overnight chief of staff for email and calendar

    A Claude Code system triages email at 5:30 AM, preps the calendar, updates tasks, adds drive-time events from traffic data and time-blocks the day.

    How it went The author says the task list and calendar, including traffic-based drive-time events, are current by 6:15 AM. The source gives no measured results beyond that. Most of the guide is paywalled.

  • Search LinkedIn and submit tailored job applications

    Claude Code drives a real Chrome browser to find matching jobs from a resume, collect them in a CSV, write cover letters, fill forms and submit.

    How it went A search run yields 50-130 postings in minutes, and each application takes 60-90 seconds. The author says daily application time fell from 3-4 hours to about 30 minutes. CAPTCHAs and two-factor walls still need a human.
