Claude Code RC
Quite incredible to think I'm at this point. My original 2-week goal was pretty tough for the amount of work, but I'm pretty sure it will be zero to production ready within 3 weeks! 🤯

Quite a lot of updates today! 😅
The developers / API set up is pretty much finished for brandparser.com AND with multiple environments. #ClaudeCode has been the perfect partner for getting this part finished.

A little update to brandparser.com that now means you can make adjustments to crawled data typography for brand precision. Everything is editable and now that this hooks up well with LLMs, having a great set of typographic guidelines keeps your generated work perfect each time.
Really great domain!! Good work on getting something launched too 👏
A simple landing page showing "Student outreach feedback, simplified" as the key message.

5. Claude produced a 100% on-brand landing page!! 😳🥳
This was honestly a lot harder than I initially thought!
Still lots to add, but the fundamentals work very well now.
A screenshot from Claude: User: "Write me a very small landing page for a new product for our company, Datafiltr. The product is to tease a simpler way for collecting student outreach feedback. Be 100% on brand" Claude: "Gathered brand guidelines to craft on-brand landing page" "Let me grab your brand details and the frontend design skill first." "Prioritized brand consistency over design conventions for landing page" "Now I have everything I need. Let me build this on-brand teaser landing page."
...

🔥🎯 It has taken a *lot* of work to get this to work end to end. Basically:
1. I handed brandparser.com my URL (the image is a screenshot of the actual website for comparison)
2. I waited 2 minutes as it prepared my detailed brand guide
3. I configured our MCP server with Claude
...
✨ Top Tip: Getting Claude Code to treat itself as the receiving end of the MCP results was a helpful unlock for MCP design. Until then it was just crap...
Although not there fully, these are now making anything I generate using MCP or starter prompts almost fully on-brand. And for my other SaaS projects, it means we can deliver really branded products for our customers each time. Well that's at least the plan.
Today's little update. Parsing design elements from a URL has been hard - much harder than I thought months ago. Each time I think it's there, I throw a different type of website into the mix and realise how getting consistently good results requires quite a bespoke pipeline.

It has been extremely hard to get really accurate, consistent, fast results for parsing a brand. Just colours (colors) alone has taken a few days to refine with Claude beavering away. But it has taken a combination of human ideas and AI implementation to get a great solution.

It all starts too look more familiar in the app 😂
Oh and from the poor typing and grammar hopefully you can see this is stream of consciousness rather than AI 😂
The plan is to try and post daily updates as I think I’m almost ready for a production release. So hold me to that!
Anyway, it has been great to refine a pipeline with a mix of agentic and deterministic flows. Claude Code remote control has been incredible as has Opus 4.6. But there are also soooo many things that my 30 years experience have enabled from how to QA to horrible security decisions it can make.
Interestingly I got annoyed at what a great job Claude did of analysing Stripe.com’s brand. It was incredible! I tried to understand how it managed it for a few weeks, until eventually Claude confessed it already had their guidelines and was just using those 😫
The complexity of this has become apparent over the last few weeks. In fact I’d already built 2 previous prototypes towards the end of last year and there are just so many edge cases.
I have seen this done a lot too. From some of the big brand management companies, to large AI platforms. But they are nearly always wrong, use incorrect assets, give you every image from your website to choose from etc. and there is also little consistency…
Brandparser.com is addressing a problem I see a lot with SaaS platforms and that I have myself: allowing a user (or agent soon) to provide a source (url right now) and get a reliable, sophisticated brand system. Think platforms that want to provide you a service on-brand.
Over the last 2 weeks I’ve been trying an experiment, can I build a production grade fully functioning SaaS (that I need myself) with Claude.
It’s been really insightful and fun at the same time. I threw away nearly all the processes I’d been developing for a year or so…
Can’t figure out why I love this band so much but I do?!? 🦇💩🤪🎸

For most of my career I have only described myself as a product person or a builder. Never a developer or designer or manager etc. whether it’s an IRL product or digital.
Boris talks about the blurring of roles at Anthropic already to being builders. It feels like that’s a good thing to me.
This is a very insightful podcast with the creator of Claude Code. It hints at where things are likely to be by the end of the year and it feels pretty accurate. 👂🎧

So, so sorry Moose. Sending lots of love to you and the family x 😔
This is great!

When it’s half-term and you are away with your family, but remember you have to host a webinar in an hour, your laptop is on 5% and there’s no co-working for miles. 😫🤦♂️
Thank goodness I found a spot with good 5G and had my Jackery charger in the car!
I’m spending a lot of time again back with agents producing sub-standard results, even with lots of agent reviews etc. so was wondering if it’s a big like hiring someone and you realise it’s great at the start until you realise you’re micro-managing them due to the failure rate?
Hey Brian. It’s interesting that you are running this and I like that you found real business challenges. I get the agents, but what’s the output quality of your agents? Is it buzz or are you genuinely finding it life changing?
