  The best business in AI is selling the solution to a problem you defined. Microsoft trained the modern office worker. Now Copilot retrains them. Anthropic trained developers on Claude. Now it sells the workflow. NVIDIA created the compute gap. Now it sells the compute. Software engineered the desk job. Let's not undersell the move though - the same vendor that shaped the workflow gets to capture the replacement. This is why every "AI stack" diagram misses the moat. The LLM, the agent framework, the RAG layer - all interchangeable. What's not interchangeable is the company that owns both the legacy workflow and the AI that replaces it. OpenAI has ChatGPT but not the enterprise surface. Anthropic has Claude but not the operating system. Google has Gmail, Docs, Workspace - which is why Gemini matters more than its benchmarks suggest. The frontier model race is a distraction. The real competition is for the workflow surface where the previous decade of software-shaped behavior already lives.

  1. I earned share of USDT profit from manual market signals I sent to my Skype contact X. 2. I bought Old School RuneScape gold with that share, using Skype. 3. I built a seed that purchased slaves from a botnet with Bitcoin, changed Skype password and sold the OSRS gold through Skype to Bitcoin in an unknown address, so I can't tell the address to Binance support and hijack automatically created accounts, while verifying identity, once I implement Binance. I received a confirmation this by e-mail to Gmail, using IMAP client. Bitcoin in the unknown address would have been backed with the share earned with the manual market signals. 4. The network started using a very simple artificial neural network and thus machine learning based on ratios of Bollinger Bands to send market signals over Skype to the contact X and limited withdrawals to the customer's Bitcoin address once it recognized a Bitcoin deposit to my Bitcoin address from a customer. The contact X sent profit to the network, while receiving Bitcoin from it for simulated losses. 5. Customers who requested a report each month, received a report from one(.)com webmail after a balance query. Only one withdrawal was requested, but it was so small I handled it quick from my own assets instead of spending time by requesting it from the network. Withdrawals would have resulted into purchase of Old School RuneScape gold and trading them to Bitcoin to keep the unknown Bitcoin address unknown. Withdrawals required a balance query, which was broken once customers had requested automatic reports after I had worked on automatic deposits for a while, which got delayed due to working on extensions. Regulation forced automatic withdrawals and Binance as creating a seed should stay permissionless and trading shouldn't be centralized as a single Skype contact. Automatic reports and automatic withdrawals were delayed by sickness, Binance GUI and captcha updates, and updates being delayed by their effect on codebase to give time to stop attacks.

  𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? We hit send and the message arrives. Underneath that is a system with no built-in authentication and optional encryption, which is held together by 50 years of patches. Around 376 billion emails move every day, and close to half are spam. Here is the path each mail takes: 𝟭. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 When we hit send, the client submits the message to a server on port 587, which checks our login, stamps a message-ID, and passes it on. 𝟮. 𝗘𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 It is store-and-forward. If the receiving server is down, the message waits in a queue and retries on a back-off schedule: 5 minutes, 30 minutes, then hours, up to four or five days. Instant delivery just means the queue cleared fast. 𝟯. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 SMTP carries two "from" values. The envelope (MAIL FROM) routes the message between servers, while the header (From:) is the one we read. SMTP never checks that they match, and that gap is why phishing works. 𝟰. 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 SMTP shipped with no way to prove who sent a message. So the industry added SPF (a list of authorized IPs), then DKIM (a cryptographic signature) to cover SPF's gaps, then DMARC to make the visible From: match one of them. Three DNS setups, all easy to misconfigure. 𝟱. 𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 Email uses opportunistic TLS. The sending server asks if the receiver supports STARTTLS, encrypts if yes, and falls back to plain text if no. For Gmail or Outlook client connections it is effectively mandatory, but server to server it stays optional. TLS also protects the connection, not the content, so the servers read everything. 𝟲. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 A delivered message lands in the inbox, bounces with a 5xx error the sender sees, or gets moved to spam with no notice to anyone. RFC 5321 permits that last one. Email was built in the 1970s for a small network of researchers who trusted each other. Nobody planned for banking or phishing. Billions of messages still arrive correctly every day on top of all of it.

  Inbox placement is not the same thing as delivery rate. Delivery rate is what your ESP reports. It measures whether the email was accepted by the receiving server, not bounced, not rejected outright. Most ESPs show delivery rates of 98-99% and teams read that as "our emails are reaching people." Delivery to a spam folder counts as delivered. Delivery to a promotions tab counts as delivered. An email that sits unopened in a folder the recipient never checks counts as delivered in the ESP dashboard. Inbox placement is the number that actually matters: what percentage of delivered emails reached the primary inbox versus spam, promotions, or another folder. This is not in your ESP. Your ESP doesn't know where the email ended up after the receiving server accepted it. Google Postmaster shows inbox placement for Gmail recipients specifically. GlockApps and Mail-Tester run seed tests that simulate placement across multiple providers before a send. A 99% delivery rate and a 60% inbox placement rate is not a good outcome. It's 40% of sends reaching a folder where they have a meaningful chance of never being seen, reported as a 99% success. The metric your ESP leads with is not the metric that determines whether your email program works.

  "Avoid spam trigger words" is 2015 advice. Gmail doesn't read your email for the word "free" anymore. It watches what people DO with your emails. No opens, no clicks, no replies → Promotions tab. Your copy isn't the problem. Your engagement is.

  @sqs I already do. Trust feels like the wrong word though because it sort of suggests that the systems aren't controllable. Maybe I'm cocky but in the last 6 months of all day agentic coding, infra, productivity... I've never had an agent take a single destructive action that I hadn't requested. I don't know why but I suspect it's because I tend to prompt with a kind terse instructive tone. I explicitly don't trust the models because I learned when they were really unreliable... so I learned to prompt carefully. Hermes is my favorite agent platform and it definitely feels very structured in the way it works. Once I got comfortable with it and the model, I took off the training wheels and haven't had any problems. People get into trouble with agents in two ways I've seen: 1) They don't keep sessions right and focused. Models are best on the first turn. Every subsequent turn they get worse. If you have it book flights and then check social and then send an email, each subsequent task will have a lower succes rate. We aren't coding and there is memory, so treat sessions as disposable. Memorize the new session shortcut. Use it a lot. 2) They think they can recover from a misunderstanding. Once an agent goes in the wrong direction, throw it away and fix your prompt and start over. 3) They forget it's a computer and talk to it like a human. Slang, misspellings, out of order, negatives all use reasoning and the reasoning budgets are pretty small. Conserve that budget by talking to it more like a computer... "Check my work Gmail. Filter for unread. Tabular output: Sender name, subject." will get you a good result while "check my email" might.

  So the #1 thing I'm seeing with Shopify brands right now, and I've diagnosed this twice just in the last month, is that your emails aren't even landing anymore. They're going to spam and you don't know it because your open rates look totally fine. And here's why they look fine. The machines open everything now. Everything. Apple Mail, Gmail, all of it, they pre-load your emails on their own servers before a human ever looks at it, so that open rate you're staring at, half of it's a ghost. It's not real. It's telling you everything's good while your clicks fall off a cliff and your revenue falls right behind it. So you're sitting there thinking it's your content, thinking you gotta write better subject lines, and it's not that at all. Here's what's actually happening. Those fake opens are hiding the fact that half your list is dead. And when you keep mailing dead subscribers because the numbers look fine, Gmail watches that, decides your mail is unwanted, and starts dumping you straight into spam. Your reputation craters and you never even saw it coming. That's why so many brands got quietly wrecked this spring. Wider sends, less engaged lists, and Gmail cracked down hard. And I'll tell you the part nobody wants to hear. Your agency didn't catch this because they get paid to send, they don't get paid to land. Big difference. So go pull your last 10 campaigns right now. If your opens are steady but your clicks just died, you're not boring, you're invisible. Nobody's even seeing you.

  127 Ways Accounting Firms Are Using AI: Drafting proposals from meeting transcripts We built a project proposal calculator Replacing Gruntworx Basis tracking of crypto from GL and CSV trades as Coinbase is often wrong Build a 3 tier pricing proposal artifact based on questionnaires from a client Reading and summarizing operating agreements or trust documents Taking pricing sheets from multiple firms, comparing and contrasting them to each other to see how ours compares Creating Tax Advisory calculators for recurring client requests Basic tax research We have automated the first draft of tax preparation for our condo and hoa clients Comparing source documents to wage and income transcript to see whether all tax docs were received and input on tax return Convert a new client’s depreciation schedule PDF into a CSV for import into the tax software We use it to organize tax documentation during intake We use ChatGPT to build monthly KPI dashboards and financial insights for monthly memos for all bookkeeping clients Consolidated financials with budget to actual variance analysis Completing a lengthy disclosure checklist for an audit Initial review of month-end financials Generate workpapers to better standardize client documents We used it to prepare workpapers that are in spreadsheet format Standardizing client data and cleaning up our client lists Automated NPS surveys based on workflows with our PM. Linked the data with our PM and made it filterable by vertical and team. When client is deemed a promoter they’re asked to leave a Google review Drafting internal and external emails IT security reports Used Claude to figure out how to connect our existing apps Analyze timesheets Draft memos Using it for comparing AR from Service Titan and QBO and figuring out discrepancies. Also for AP discrepancies from vendor portals/QBO. Game changer Reads my emails every 4 hours to find any new “to do’s” and post in a to-do list artifact where I keep track of all the tasks that get emailed to me I created a daily digest that pulls from my email, calender, and Slack channels to post back to Slack for me a Canvas checklist, highlights, and a summary of my new emails Building engagement letters for clients I dumped 12 months of bank statements, asked it to build a spreadsheet for expenses Claude is pulling all my client emails and meeting transcripts as I have it perform monthly reviews of the financials, create dashboards and forecasts and give advice Built a new website i use it to draft blog posts and social media content We generate leads by scraping job boards looking for bookkeepers and send daily emails after qualifying the lead We built an interactive marketing calendar When hiring we use it to identify gaps between job applicant's resume and the job description, then analyze 1st interview transcript. For writing better formalize SOPs I had a client who sent handwritten donations, I couldn't read it. Took a picture and uploaded to ChatGPT and it created a downloadable spreadsheet that tied to the dollar AI built our firm metrics tracker/dashboard (lead volume, close rate, capacity metrics, etc) Using it as my business coach to see how I can update offers and better explain my value to prospective clients We use it to create data visualizations Creating notes from recorded meetings and calls with clients We built an AI-managed internal wiki for firm knowledge/documentation Building an accounting treatment resource guide for staff to standardize across the team I've used it to create a financial advisory tool with benchmarks, affect of changed, ratios, drivers, and narrative evaluations Shopping questions. Saved a lot money not buying products from social media. I created a print to review the current year tax return and generate different levels of client deliverables giving results, planning, feedback etc Claude daily for research & graphic design. Tax planning ideas. Customer deliverables with need for graphic design (in our brand). Writing excel scripts to format and finalize excel financials Using it to look at historical data for time and billing for each client to determine renewal fees We transcribe call recordings with AI. Low hanging fruit but very very helpful Used AI to join three different vendor lists, then pull in a recipe list for a restaurant to develop a cost per item so we can evaluate profitability Extracting stock trade data from a 1099B PDF. Maybe that’s too vanilla, but OMG Build custom (expanded) MCPs for ANY software that has API (ie write access to QBO) We use Claude to review prospect documentation to determine if they’re a good fit Clean up files during a migration from our old cloud drive to a new one Monitor file system folder structure Point Claude to a propety management software and pull all income statements, rent rolls, debt and build an entire cfo dashboard daily for rental property investors Vibe coded a W9 Tracker that connects to QBO so we can request W9s throughout the year instead at year-end. We use claude cowork to tax return summaries that are presented to clients to help provide understanding of their tax return We use AI to turn printed bank statements into qbo upload files for clients without online bank access I’m using the Double MCP to add client tasks to their portal via Claude. I used Claude to create a staff evaluation with rankings based on what they do well and what they need to improve on. My client is old school and wants reports the exact format he has always received reports in. He is so particular he wants a specific font. I now export the reports in excel and use Claude to fully format all tabs of the report and generate a final PDF. To help with roadblocks that stop at me, we created a Slack channel for questions. If the questions doesn’t have a response by the end of the day, Claude will send it to my to-do list. This helps make sure it doesn’t get missed or overlooked Project tracking. Looking for lagging projects to move or notify preparers and clients. I throw in CPE certificates and it creates a CSV I can upload to the state every year for license renewal Claude built out a fleet tracker for a executive transportation company to track vehicle trips and allocate proportional fixed and variable costs I use it to write Excel macros Draft tax opinions letters and workpapers to use for client or legal purposes I created a live artifact that searches email and present a daily briefing on new issues Tie out tax returns to supporting documents Have it grade our EOS level 10 meetings Automating the creation of journal entries A use AI to build a proof of cash in a Transaction Advisory practice Reconciling the client's bank and credit card statements to their PBC cash activity worksheet We generate friendly reminders out of company email to upload client documents We use Claude to personalize client tax organizers Building deliverables for clients (accountable plans, amortization schedules, etc) Formatting a private letter ruling request. Specified the problem and the code in question and asked it to produce a word document. We still had to make edits but it was an excellent start! Building an excel workbook to track our pay formula Explaining complex tax circumstance in easy to digest format. Read and summarize trust documents Coded a custom Karbon KPI dashboard Build a realtime tax dashboard and staff capacity estimator Dump prepped tax return and workpaper into Claude and have it review for accuracy then have it review for tax planning opportunities Using it to write code in Google AppsScript Coding a replacement for my $1,000 a month report writing software Built a Claude-powered Google Sheet to update and maintain Karbon organization and contact data from one place instead of their UI Reconciliation bot for when the numbers just aren’t coming together Organize tax workpapers and identify missing items compared to last year's tax return Built a tax report reviewing the return and identifying tax planning opportunities Claude Design total marketing revamp. Amaze. Amaze. Amaze. Once a client uploads my requested documents into a folder connected to Claude, my AI reviews it for the audit criteria I gave it and produces a succinct report of findings and recommendations. Using it to create email verbiage and financial reports to clients as well as create my own transaction classification app for QBO Summarizing complex transaction documents for corporate reorganizations to identify and action on tax risks. Building flow diagrams or excel models to reflect aspects of the transaction. Drop in my prior year engagement letter and the newest Camico draft to compare and see what I need to add / change. Compare current tax year docs with last year's. Generate a table of what has changed and implied questions. Make a report that can be sent to the client I built a workaround that helped me extract a client's 100+ bank rules from Xero more efficiently since Xero doesn't currently allow bulk export of bank rules (for Master Client Sheet preparation) Create an org chart visual Creating a worksheet of transactions from scanned receipts We built an API connector between Zoho Books (sales invoices) and Sage Intacct (to import revenue) It’s simple, but I use it to find mismatches between qb and bank statement. Why are they different? Put in bank statement and pdf of qb transactions I record work I’m doing for a new client then give the recording to Claude, and have it build an SOP for the work Compare tax workpapers to draft tax return and call out any transcription errors Analyze 1099-Bs to pull out and calculate foreign source dividends and US Govt Obligation % based on data provided in the 1099 or sourcing the information online Review job applications and resumes to tell me whether they followed the instructions on the job description and meet our minimum requirements Creating an importable trial balance for Drake from QB chart of accounts and Trial balance. Then use Claude to build the AJEs and FJEs Checklists! I took a 500+ page PDF of a big 4 IFRS financial disclosure checklist and turned it into a fully functioning financial statement checklist, then fed it my client financials to have it prepare the disclosures Overhead allocations by class + locations, creating the percentage allocation journal entry to import into QuickBooks Online We’re using Claude to automate a weekly staff overview. Syncing with Harvest (timesheets) and practice management to give provide weekly employee hours and open tasks that are overdue. Building service descriptions in our proposals We built a benchmark worksheet comparing a construction company to others in their industry based on revenue, size of team, size of projects, ownership model and entity. We enter the data from rolling 12 months from the client’s financials and then compare direct costs as percentages of revenue to see which area they need to improve. Created our own reasonable comp report builder that pulls data from the bureau of labor statistics. We create custom assessments for candidates tailored specifically to them, based on the job role and resume. We do this to test if they can actually do what their resume says they can do. Then if any skill gaps come up in the interview, we can add questions to the assessment. Claude then gives us a rubric to help us assess the candidates’ work. We built an AI-powered 1040 tax return explainer using Remotion that converts a CPA-uploaded draft tax return into a personalized, easy-to-understand video. We use Claude to review the high volume of resumes we receive from Indeed. Cowork drafts comments for LinkedIn and instagram, logging all activity in my task manager, and continues to monitor my LinkedIn and IG to ensure I follow up on any comments I receive. (Repeats daily) We automated manual Oracle data reconciliation against Google Sheets to generate real-time customer snapshots, surfacing past-due invoices, outstanding balances, PO renewal needs, and full communication history from Gmail. Eliminated hours of manual data aggregation. Used Claude to redo the pages on my website around my ideal customer profile. Awesome! We feed the proforma tax organizers in to have it create a custom PDF that has checkboxes and text fields for the client to fill in. We use Clickup’s AI to fetch a summary of overdues and other ops metrics instead of a human digging into dashboards. I put masked tax returns into Gemini and ask it to do a partner review before I look at it. I’ve also strated including the PY and asking it to compare differences and make sure carry forwards are consistent. I then gave the tax preparer the Gemini review notes (after I reviewed them) and asked them to make changes. HUGE training tool. Very simple. Made a copy of XCM workflow to run review notes back and forth. It tracks who gave the note, what type it is, response, if it is closed, etc. Syncs to Financial Cents. I used Replit to do this (Highly recommend Replit). I taught AI to enter ordinary dividends from a Composite 1099 into the web-based Mutual Fund Tax Guide, which calculates the US Government Interest included in dividend income, for state tax purposes. I made a Claude artifact that lets you drop in tax transcript PDF, and it spits out the form 843 PDF for a penalty refund.
