ClaudeEvery day
“I pay $100 a month for Claude anyway.”
Claude Code
“The LinkedIn lead stack I run costs me $229 a month: Claude Code at 100...”
“n8n does the wiring... the agent does the thinking.”
zooq.devHis product
“I install zooq’s MCP, give the agent my API key.”
HeyReach
“The tool I myself run LinkedIn campaigns on is HeyReach.”
DeepSeekDaily use
“After a month of daily use as a personal AI agent, I’d burned about $4.”
All tools by category
Dashed chips are tools recommended to clients rather than used personally.
“Business automation isn’t supposed to help me do tasks faster - it’s supposed to remove my need to do them at all.” And the bottom line: “Business automation that combines Claude as the AI engine and N8N as the orchestration layer - that’s the combination that works best for me.”
Details for every tool
In the consultant's own words, with a link to the source of each quote.

AI models and agents11
Why:“For writing that goes out to a client, I work with Claude.” And “On the long-form writing side, Claude remains my choice.” And on Jobsworm: “I pay $100 a month for Claude anyway.”
- Claude CodeNot in Curalo yetUses it
Why:“I work with Claude Code, but the same thing works in Codex, Cursor or any agent that runs tools.” And his site: “Portfolio, magazine, and a full CMS on Sanity — all built with Claude Code and deployed on Vercel.”
- Claude DesktopNot in Curalo yetUses it
Why:Headless Studio, the video production system he built: “I open Claude Desktop in a folder and tell it: make me a video.” “That’s how AI video production went, for me, from a full-day project to a quarter-hour conversation.”
Why:“For analyzing and classifying Hebrew text, I stick with ChatGPT.” And for content: “For quick ideation and topic lists, I use ChatGPT.”
GeminiNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:“Gemini in Hebrew is my surprise of the year.” “When I need a sentence that sounds like an Israeli wrote it, I start there.”
- DeepSeekNot in Curalo yetUses it
Why:The model behind Jade, his personal agent: “DeepSeek gave me 90% of the quality at a price that felt like a typo.” And in the WhatsApp bot: “For me it’s DeepSeek, because it’s insanely cheap and good enough for marketing Hebrew.”
Why:In competitor research: “I run this in Perplexity, because it searches in real time and gives sources.”
ManusNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:Building his site: “I used Manus to research inspiration sites, analyze competitors, gather information on design libraries and plan the site structure.” And his morning agent “runs for me on a combination of Manus Pro at $20 with Make Core at $9.”
OpenClawNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:Milo, the lead-hunting agent he built for X: “Milo is the first significant project I’m building with OPENCLAW.”
OpenRouterNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:“The tool I use so my bot has access to lots of models in parallel.”
Hermes AgentNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:“Jade, my personal assistant, is built on the Hermes Agent Framework with DeepSeek as the language model behind it.”
Automation6
Why:“I work with both worlds in parallel. n8n does the wiring (webhooks, triggers, connecting systems). The agent does the thinking.” And “n8n runs for me in a version I host myself.”
MakeNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:“For my content it works like this: Make pulls data on trending topics, feeds it into Claude with a prompt I wrote carefully, and Claude produces a draft post.”
Why:“Zapier is great for simple triggers, a lead comes in, add a row in Google Sheets.” And on his first agent: “I connected my agent to Gmail, Google Calendar, and Zapier.”
GumloopNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:“A second flow I run almost every week”: content research that takes a keyword and summarizes the top five articles on Google. “A whole morning of reading turned into five minutes.”
FirecrawlNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:In the PR agent: “Everything runs on tools I already had, except Firecrawl, which is also free at the level I use it.”
AirtableNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:In the content process: “The draft goes to Airtable for approval, and if I haven’t responded within 24 hours — it stays in the queue.”
Leads and outbound8
- zooq.devNot in Curalo yetUses it
Why:The product he built (“a micro-SaaS for GTM and LinkedIn data”), and also part of his stack: “I install zooq’s MCP, give the agent my API key, and ask it to explore what can be done there.”
- HeyReachNot in Curalo yetUses it
Why:“The tool I myself run LinkedIn campaigns on is HeyReach.” And “My LinkedIn outbound stack costs about $229 a month and doesn’t include Sales Navigator at all: Claude Max at 100, ZOOQ credits at about 50 and HeyReach at 79.”
Why:“That’s where Apollo comes in great, because I can pull whole lists from it through the API without a human touching it.”
Why:In the lead follow-up sequence: “The email is sent through Instantly within 10 minutes of receiving the lead.”
Why:In the third step of the follow-up sequence, when the lead still hasn’t replied: “A third business automation offers a short intro call” with a Calendly link.
Why:“The final score goes back into the CRM (for me it’s Monday.com, for my clients sometimes HubSpot or Pipedrive).” And “In Monday.com CRM I build it with a few status columns and that’s it, three minutes of work.”
LushaNot in Curalo yetRecommends itWhy:He tested both tools for outreach agents: “Lusha, thanks to its focus, gave me higher accuracy on direct phone numbers and mobile numbers.” And it suits teams that work a lot by phone.
Why:For clients: “For me it’s usually HubSpot for mid-sized companies or Salesforce for large ones.” And about himself: “I don’t run HubSpot, I run a combination of smaller tools and agents.”
Content, video and social4
HeyGenNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:“A 45-second avatar video in HeyGen costs me $1.8.” And in the video guide: “I upload the script to HeyGen, choose the avatar I created, and generate.”
ElevenLabsNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:“I record my screen while I work with a tool, and then add an automatic VO with ElevenLabs.”
CapCutNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:“A video I made in three hours - script with Claude, HeyGen for the avatar, CapCut for editing - brought me two new clients directly.”
Why:“The reason I chose Buffer specifically and not Hootsuite or Later is that they have an excellent API.” “Claude writes, and an automated process pushes directly to Buffer for scheduling and publishing.”
Building and infrastructure11
GitHubNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:“Every line of code on my site is in GitHub.” “The AI writes the code, I manage the project.”
VercelNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:His site is “deployed on Vercel”, and Jobsworm too: “Then I added another $15 in Vercel for compute, so the system would run faster.”
SanityNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:“My site today: portfolio, magazine, and a full CMS on Sanity.”
Next.jsNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:According to his projects page, Zooq and Oodies are built on Next.js, and his site management agent (AI Website Manager) also works with Next.js, Sanity and Vercel.
SupabaseNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:In the WhatsApp bot: “I saved everything in Supabase, but Google Sheets also works at the start.” And according to his projects page, Zooq and BOM-Buddies also run on Supabase.
ResendNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:At the Jobsworm launch: “Both Vercel and the free Resend didn’t hold up the moment real load arrived, and I upgraded in the middle of the launch.”
RenderNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:In Mila, his WhatsApp bot: “My actual stack: seven dollars on Render, zero on an n8n license, and a little over a dollar a month on Gemini.”
VultrNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:Milo’s server: “The solution I use is a virtual private server – a VPS, and I use the one from VULTR.”
Google WorkspaceNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:“Google Gemini comes included in the Workspace payment.” And elsewhere: “I opened a dedicated email in Workspace and connected it to the agent.”
TelegramNot in Curalo yetUses itWhy:The channel for his bots: for Milo “I chose Telegram”, and in his agent system the agent publishes to Sanity “and sends me a report and a LinkedIn-ready file on Telegram.”
Why:According to his projects page, billing in Zooq (“metered credit billing”) runs on Sumit.
Q&A
- What do you do, and for which clients?
- “Today I sit at the intersection of B2B GTM strategy, AI-based workflows and community building.”
- What do you trust AI with in client work, and what never?
- “I don’t write a line of code. I talk to an agent in plain Hebrew, it executes.”
