Where AI Actually Works in Solopreneur Systems
I talk a lot about the wrong ways to use AI. But a rainy weekend gave me a few free hours and two pet projects that I used Claude Cowork for— and the results actually impressed me.
The first: I used Claude to vibe-code a custom Obsidian theme from scratch. No CSS, no digging through the inspector — just a few prompts and some back-and-forth until it looked exactly the way I wanted.
The second: a Claude skill that plans trips for me end-to-end — packing list, budget, Todoist project, calendar entries, the works. It's now maybe my favorite thing I've ever built in Claude.
Does all of this sound interesting, but you’re not sure where to start with your systems? Grab the free Solopreneur Systems Starter Kit — including the trip planning skill from this episode — at streamlined.fm/kit
