Read your book's status at every store before reapplying

An author selling his book on an ebook platform runs a Claude Code agent every evening. A reminder told him to request distribution to bookstores, but the agent read the screens first without pressing anything. Of 8 bookstores, 2 were already selling the book, 1 showed sent and 5 were pending, and the request had been made 42 days earlier. Asking again could have sent the book back to approval, but he still does not know when sales started.

How to do it

  1. Paste the prompt into the tool, and replace the text in brackets with your own.
  2. Read the answer through. Do not send, delete or publish anything until you have seen it yourself.
  3. Check the original before you trust a figure, a name or a date.

Try it with Claude Code

Open the sales overview for my book on [platform] and read the status for each bookstore. Only read, and do not press any button that changes anything. Make a table with bookstore, status and the date you first saw it on sale, and compare it with my notes in [file]. Show me the table before anything is sent or changed. You are done when I know which bookstores are missing and no request has been sent twice.

  • Make a sale plan and buyer list for a company

    Pat Simmons asked Dots, OpenAI's always-on agent, to help sell the laser printer repair company run by Simmons's father. It built a website with the sale plan: buyer shortlist, what transfers, price, sales process and the first 30 days. It also made a spreadsheet of 136 potential buyers, each with a fit score, and will check in with the father weekly. Simmons does not write that any buyer was contacted or that anything sold, but the plan is ready.

  • Track staff work hours with n8n, Telegram and Google Sheets

    A convenience store owner in Poland built a system with n8n, Telegram and Google Sheets where six employees log shift start and end. They can also see shift information and correct mistakes. If something is entered wrong, the flow stops until it is fixed, and the employee and the owner get a message. It has run for about three months. Schedules are still made by hand, and the time saved is not measured, but the owner notices a lighter workload.

  • Build sales demos with the prospect's own data, no developers

    From OpenAI, the company behind Codex. According to OpenAI, the COO of a small fleet software company now builds four to six custom demos a month in Codex without knowing how to code. Each demo takes 30 to 45 minutes and uses the prospect's own data. The company estimates this saves 40 to 60 engineering hours a month and moves 50 to 60 percent more deals past first contact. The figures are the company's own estimates.
