Claude went down, but my reports kept working
Claude went down, but my website, reports and apps kept working, because I had it build them as tools. The mental shift, and the prompt that asks your own AI agent for a tool instead of the same answer every time.
Claude went down
Claude went down, but my website, reports and apps kept working. How?
One tool, not the same job
Instead of giving Claude the same tedious job every time, I had it write software to handle it automatically.
My developers were on holiday
Could I change the code? Of course not. My developers were on holiday.
A mental shift
So here is a mental shift. In the old days, you asked the developers to write software. Nowadays, you ask the developers to ask the AI to write software for you.
Ask your own agent
So why not ask your own agent to do it? You, your agent and the tool. No developer in between.
Build me a tool
For example, show it some files and an example report you like. Ask it to build a tool that creates the reports in your style.
Runs on your own computer
Ask for it to run on your own computer, without needing to call the agent every time. That is why my reports kept working when Claude went down.
Reusable tools
Stop asking for one-time answers. Start asking for reusable tools.
