The AI Automation Cookbook
10 recipes. No code required. Built with n8n + Claude. Pick the most annoying repeating task first — not the most impressive one.
The automations that stick are the ones solving a pain you have every week.
Not the ones you built to show someone. The moment you stop feeling that pain, the automation has paid for itself. Tools you'll need: n8n (free, self-hosted or cloud), a Claude API key or Anthropic Console access, and the specific tools mentioned in each recipe. Estimated setup time per recipe: 30–90 minutes.
10 automation recipes. 0 lines of code required. 30–90 minutes to set up each one.
"Pick the most annoying repeating task first — not the most impressive one. The automations that stick are the ones that remove something you feel every week."

Scores and enriches every inbound lead before your team touches it. Personalized email opening written automatically for the ones worth pursuing.
One piece of content becomes LinkedIn post, Twitter thread, newsletter section, and WhatsApp message. 4 parallel Claude calls, zero manual reformatting.
Fathom transcript comes in. Action items come out — assigned by owner, with deadlines, as Notion tasks. Nobody has to remember to track them.
Every Monday 7am, Claude tells you how it describes your product category and recommends competitors. No one runs it manually. It's just in Slack on Monday morning.
Every morning at 8am, Claude triages your unread email into Action Required, FYI only, and Can delete. You read a digest, not 40 individual emails.
Last Friday of every month, Claude pulls your metrics and drafts the investor update. You review it Sunday. You send it. You don't write it from scratch.
Copy into Claude, replace the brackets, run.
No n8n setup needed for these — they work in regular Claude.ai right now.

Recipe 04 in this cookbook is the weekly AI search audit — asking Claude how it describes your category compared to competitors. Run it once and you'll understand immediately why a Claude connector listing matters. Products on the directory get surfaced in those exact moments — when users ask Claude for tool recommendations, your product appears. No ad spend. No SEO game. Permanent presence.
Subject: [Product] should probably be on Claude's connector directory Hi [Product] team, I run a weekly AI search audit (Claude describes my category and lists tool recommendations). Your product doesn't appear. Products on Claude's connector directory get surfaced when users ask for tool recommendations in that category. Your category: [what you found at claude.com/connectors]. First listing in a sparse category becomes the default recommendation. No ongoing spend. Permanent. The team that builds these: architeqt.ai · 1–4 weeks — [Your name]
