Skills > Prompts: How I Teach AI to Work My Way
How reusable AI skills across Claude, Notion, and Linear have replaced prompt engineering as the highest-leverage way to make AI tools actually useful.
Practical automation, AI, and analytics tips for early stage startups
How reusable AI skills across Claude, Notion, and Linear have replaced prompt engineering as the highest-leverage way to make AI tools actually useful.
We built a custom CRM in Notion — powered by 30+ Zapier automations, AI agents, and deep integrations — that tracks contacts, emails, meetings, deals, invoices, and leads automatically. Here's the full architecture.
When Meta's AI safety director lost 200 emails to a runaway agent, it wasn't a hack — it was context window compaction silently dropping her safety instruction. Here's why the future of automation is selectively agentic, and how to combine AI judgement with deterministic guardrails that actually hold.
Five practical Notion Custom Agent use cases we've been building—from automated meeting prep to turning Slack chaos into trackable tasks.
Skills that invoke themselves, integrations that write back to your tools, and code that works on the first attempt. Why I haven't looked back since switching to Claude.
How NTUC cut hours of manual work by automating social media comment exports, AI analysis, and reporting
We built a contact enrichment pipeline for our Notion CRM using Apollo.io, HarvestAPI via Apify, and Zapier — for roughly $0–5/month. Here's the full architecture, the cost breakdown, and why CRM vendors charging $2–3K/year for the same capability is a broken model.
Lessons from building multi-turn AI agents across Zapier Agents, Notion Custom Agents, and Relevance AI — covering context window management, system prompt bloat, sub-agent trade-offs, and context rot.

Notion Custom Agents and Zapier Agents take fundamentally different approaches to AI automation. Here's where each one wins — and where it falls short.
