Run a daily contractor directory with human review
Claude powers a scheduled workflow that collects local contractor examples, drafts entries, and leaves a person to approve them before they go live.
- What they did
- They used Claude to create a finished directory covering AI-related results from HVAC, plumbing, and roofing businesses. The listings each point to the original source, and the page says Claude is used to discover and describe the wins while a person checks the final output. The workflow is set up to run every day so the directory can keep growing.
- How it went
- The directory shows 13 sourced entries, with new additions dated Oct. 14 and 15, 2026. Items are organized by trade and by result. The page does not report the agent’s speed, workload, or accuracy.
- Tips
- Keep the approval step in place so nothing goes out unchecked. When you adapt this pattern, have the agent surface a reviewable draft and a short change log before any publish or push action.
Try it yourself with Claude
Set up a [daily] workflow for my [local business directory] in [repo or site] that looks for [2-3] new [type of business, such as roofing contractors] in [city or region]. For each candidate, verify that it has a functioning site, public reviews, and an active license; then write a brief entry with a source link and sort it by [outcome] and [trade]. Also make one small [SEO] improvement each run. Before any step that would [publish], [send], [delete], or [push to GitHub], pause and show me the draft entries, what passed or failed, and the proposed commit so I can approve it.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
