Hello Karen, I have a quick question about your Claude agents. Do you make use of the Pro Plan or the 200.00 a month plan. I just joined Claude and use ChatGPT often as well as Gemini and DeepSeek too. Just wondering if it is really worth the money. T

thanks

Karen Spinner's avatar

I’m using the Max plan at $100/month and I feel like I’m getting good value from it. It’s allowed me to cancel a lot of other subscriptions (n8n, ChatGPT, etc.) and I spend hours in it each day!

Thanks for explaining the subagents functionalities and other nuances from Claude Code so well, Karen! Great to see another very useful application of Claude Code!

Karen Spinner's avatar

You’re very welcome! Claude Code is a surprisingly multi-purpose tool!

Raghav Mehra's avatar

Absolutely, its tasks capabilities are insane!

Fantastic read, Karen. Very useful.

Did you find yourself using certain agents way more than others, or did they all pull their weight fairly equally?

Karen Spinner's avatar

I found the Creative Director agent, which was scoped to look at the site holistically, was by far the most successful agent!

The Copywriter was the worst…I’m thinking I should have used Opus instead of Sonnet. 🤔

I've been wanting to dive into the code side of Claude after using it for my writing business for about a year. This was great motivation! Seems like they've done pretty deep down the coding rabbit hole. Thanks for this!

Karen Spinner's avatar

You’re very welcome! It’s definitely come a long way over the past year.

Wow! Thanks for sharing so much here. I’m not a tech guy but I shared this with my team to look at Claude a little deeper.

I did checkout the prompt collector. Really nice tool. 🔥

Karen Spinner's avatar

Thank you so much! 🤗 The subagents really are helpful, although they require a little trial and error.

Ilia Karelin's avatar

Unbelievably useful post Karen. Subagents are so useful and you just literally proved with your experiment!

I’ll have to try them out asap!

Karen Spinner's avatar

Thank you! 🙏 The subagents are also really easy to set up and edit.

Karen, the revamp looks great, and the Prompt Collector is super useful for people who don’t want to bother creating their own (aka me). Thank you for the framework and for showing how true co-creation with your agents can be.

Karen Spinner's avatar

You’re very welcome! 🥰

Love it! For a title I suggest using Solutions Architect. It describes what you do, is a higher level title, doesn't limit you to only working with enterprise, but when they come across your site you're speaking their language. 😀

Karen Spinner's avatar

I’ll give that some thought! Thanks for the tip! 🙏

Patrick Schaber's avatar

New site looks fantastic, Karen! Thanks for the sharing the process. Super interesting.

Karen Spinner's avatar

You’re very welcome! 🤗

I'm not a tech person in any sense but you write so simply there's always something to take from your technical posts. I've got question to ask, but I gotta arrange my words so they don't tumble over each other. Brb to ask it. HNY

Karen Spinner's avatar

Thank you, I’m trying to keep the tech jargon to a minimum! 🙏 HNY yourself!

Brilliant stuff, Karen - what a ride! It’s genuinely refreshing to see someone actually push Claude Code beyond toy use cases and give a full, honest account of what worked and what didn’t.

Also loved the bit about "investing in prep work pays off" — it’s a truth most people learn too late. That stat about 95% of Claude’s hallucinations being avoidable with clearer prompts? I need to work on this in Chat GPT!

Quick one — what would you do differently if you were starting this overhaul again from scratch next week? Curious where the biggest "wish I’d known sooner" moment came in for you.

Karen Spinner's avatar

Thank you! 🙏🥰

In terms of what I could have done differently, I would have used Opus instead of Sonnet for the copywriting agent and been even more prescriptive with my instructions for each page!

RhinoIsland Media's avatar

As a techie first, I find after 3 years with ChatGPT it does the best job writing in a mix of my tone and AI-speak. One tip: I take most output from any AI and ask another one “What is missing, what information is wrong or misleading and what would you add or subtract.” If the 2nd AI finds a lot, I ask it to make edits then give it to a third. Only takes a few minutes.

I love how you share so openly Karen ✨

Karen Spinner's avatar

Thank you! 🙏🤗

hey karen one of the question's i've had which maybe you know the answer to - I've used Loveable to create some really cool stuff - including a cms for a new site, but I ran into issues with open graph and meta tags where each post or url can't seem to have it's own? Which seems crazy to me. Do you know anything about this? Am I crazy?

Karen Spinner's avatar

Not crazy! My understanding is that Lovable builds sites as single page apps (SPAs) using JavaScript to swap content in and out of a single index.html page, so every page effectively has the same header.

You may want to try exporting the code from Lovable and then deploying it to Vercel, which supports static site generation (e.g., creating HTML based on your Next.js or React code).

I think Jenny Ouyang sometimes builds with Lovable…I bet she could provide more specific guidance!

Phil Powis ❤️⚡️'s avatar

Thanks for the tips and I’ll check with Jenny too. I built something beautifully and powerful under the hood but didn’t realize that until I was almost ready to launch and started thinking seo lol so it’s been sitting for a few months in limbo I’d love to get it pushed out fully this would be a huge win for me but I’d need to learn a process so that I can keep making updates using ai and I haven’t gone that far down the rabbit hole yet I was afraid to migrate because i assumed I’d lose that ability but maybe this is a false belief?

Karen Spinner's avatar

Even if you migrate off of Lovable, you should be able to keep your site updated with Cursor or Claude Code…and it sounds like you’ll be able to add new content with your site’s CMS-like back end!

Keep me posted…now I’m curious what you’re going to launch! 🤗

Phil Powis ❤️⚡️'s avatar

Uncovering a real pain point if anyone were to have a migration guide and then how to hook back up to cursor that would be rad! (Hint hint lol)

Joshua Davis 🤝's avatar

Hey Phil, if you want to keep it on Lovable they have a full guide for SEO https://docs.lovable.dev/tips-tricks/seo-geo. Google and other search can still index and it doesn't affect your index / ranking but it does impact how fast / how often it get's indexed. An AI migration tool would be pretty cool. "I'm going from platform A to platform B map out the steps..."

Phil Powis ❤️⚡️'s avatar

thanks for this! I've bookmarked this for further reading! I feel like i may have taken a peek at this before but still found it wasn't optimal, but ill definitely take a second pass.

Dr Sam Illingworth's avatar

This is brilliant, Karen. Thanks so much for sharing so openly. I also find self-promotion incredibly difficult, so for this reason, AI is really good as a first pass. Like you say, even though it requires quite a lot of editing, it's a really great way to get started.

Karen Spinner's avatar

💯 I was so engaged in fixing AI’s iffy draft that I forgot to overthink! 😆

Privacat's avatar

Loved this! I have a much less-involved website that I could still stand to clean up and optimize and I may use some of these tools to make it happen.

Karen Spinner's avatar

Thank you! 🙏 The subagents, even if they struggled a bit with the messaging, were surprisingly good for design.

Juan Gonzalez's avatar

One thing that kept in my mind while reading this is "I wonder how much was the token usage for all of this". And it was in one whole session right?

My website does need some touch ups (and also figure out a domain name issue 😅)

Karen Spinner's avatar

I stretched it out over a couple of sessions! The agents running in parallel will definitely burn tokens…I think having really specific instructions—and shutting down the copywriting agent when I wasn’t happy with it—helped.

Juan Gonzalez's avatar

Yeah, that's what I thought, Parallel running agents can go burn through token usage pretty quickly. Being very specific is pretty important to make the most out of that allowance I think.
