Fabrica

My current project in Claude is a career planning application in active development that I’m building for myself. It involves the following:

• Dashboard: the place to track weekly tasks I’ve prioritized and identify next actions to take, powered by Claude’s recommendations
• The Plan: Previously a Google Sheets doc and a Mural, the career plan is now broken down into career areas and associated SMART goals, tasks, OKRs, motivations, blockers, support, rewards, etc.
• Pivots and future of work: an area capturing thought leaders on the future of digital and work, and how it can impact career planning
• Additional: features that will help with effective completion (journal, sharing with friends, mobile views, etc.)

Fabrica translates to ””The workshop / The craft”, and is a place holder name for now.

Assemblage

Situation: Artists have to manually search dozens of sites that have details on opportunities (fellowships, grants, gallery call for artists etc.). How might we make it easier to find targeted opportunities for mixed media artists in NYC?

Approach: This product was created as part of the AI Circles community class. Assemblage is an AI Agent for mixed media sculpture artists in NYC. (Assemblage means ‘a collection, gathering or assembly of people or things’). It does the following:

• Send an email when there are new entries on any of the URLs
• Run a general Web search for open calls for artists in New York City  
• Create list of URLs of open calls (from galleries) and add to Google Sheet 
• Have Gumloop search through list for possible calls

Results: This one proved to be a bit more technically frustrating, and I’ve since discovered a few sites that have this functionality but I plan to write this up as a case study in the future.
