👋 Hello hello,
Hope your week is off to a great start! Quick question: when did you last check if your computer was actually secure? Not in a "I think I have antivirus" kind of way — but really, properly checked.
Turns out Claude can do it for you in five minutes.
Let’s get into it.
🔥🔥🔥 Three Things You Didn’t Know You Could do With AI
Open the Claude app, go to Claude Code — and no, you don't need to know how to code. Just type: Can you security audit my computer? Claude will ask for a couple of permissions, then generate a full report: what's exposed, what's already locked down, and a prioritized action list of what to fix first.
It won't replace a professional audit, but it's free, it takes five minutes, and most people have never done anything like this for their own machine. Credit to Pieter Levels, whose post inspired this.
Upload your headshot to ChatGPT before your next sunnies purchase. Tell it your face shape concerns, your budget, and your preferred store — and it'll analyze your face structure, tell you which frame styles work for you, which to avoid, recommend lens tint colors, and give you exact product names and prices.
It sounds gimmicky until you realize you've been buying the wrong frames for years. Here’s the full prompt:
Please understand my facial structure and identify the types of sunglasses along with the tint colors that would suit the face the best. then recommend a few sunglasses under $250 I can buy from Sunglasses Hut that would actually look good and please create the image where we visualuze the styles that look good on me and the styles that don't and then a section with the actual glasses under $250 from sunglasses hut and how they would look along with the product name so I know what to buy
If you already use Microsoft Clarity (it's free) to track how visitors use your site, you can now connect it to Claude as a connector. Ask Claude to go through your analytics and tell you what to change to improve signups or conversions — and it'll actually do it.
One example from this week: Claude went through over 100,000 sessions and 20,000+ signups from a single site and came back with concrete, specific recommendations. The kind of analysis that used to take an analyst and a few days.
🔥🔥 Two Resources Worth Bookmarking
Anthropic put together a proper library of real-world ways Claude is being used across industries, workflows, and roles. If you've ever opened Claude and stared at a blank chat wondering where to start, this is worth a browse. It's organized by function and actually shows you what's possible.
Zapier now has a library of pre-built AI agent templates — ready-to-deploy automation workflows you don't have to build from scratch. Great for anyone who wants to automate repetitive tasks without spending hours on setup. Browse by category and launch in minutes.
🔥 This Week's AI Playbook
Emily Higgins is one of the most-watched AI creators right now. Her videos are so polished that people literally think she's not a real person. Kushank recently interviewed Emily to find out how she achieves such a high level of quality in her videos.
Here's her exact step-by-step process, coming straight from Emily herself:
Script collaboratively with Claude. She goes in with a concept and talking points — not a blank page. Claude proposes different angles, they go back and forth, and once the direction is locked, Claude drafts. Final output is roughly 70% her words, 30% Claude.
Film the talking head first. She doesn't think about visuals until she has the actual footage in hand. Script first, camera second, visuals third.
Use Flim to find the visual direction. Flim is an AI-powered tool that lets you search clips from real films and TV shows by style, mood, or technique. She uses it to find a frame that matches the color grade and aesthetic she's going for — then downloads it as a reference image.
Generate stills in Nana Banana with Claude writing the prompts. She never goes straight to video generation. Always starts with a still image. Claude generates the prompts based on the reference frame from Flim, they refine back and forth, and she generates in Nana Banana until the image is right.
Animate in Higsfield using "subtle camera motion." That's genuinely the whole hack. Select Cling 3.0, turn on multi-shot, and type: subtle camera motion. For scenes with a person: subtle camera and subject motion. Nothing more complicated than that for 90% of her videos.
The consistency trick: Use the first image you love as the reference image for every other scene in that video. Same lighting. Same color grade. Every time. That's how videos look and feel cohesive.
