How We Built An Online Summit With Claude and Airtable

We ran a 29-speaker virtual event this summer, and Claude and Airtable did most of the back-end work.Joyce watched the whole build happen from the outside and still had questions, so this one is her interviewing Kinsey about it — what got built first, what broke in the middle, and where the hours went.In this episode:Why the build started with an Airtable database instead of a landing page, and what actually goes in oneHow Claude read every speaker application and curated a 29-person lineup in five minutesThe thing Claude got wrong, and why human review still mattersHow Claude and Canva produced almost 60 speaker graphics with no copy-pastingWhat happened when Claude had a rough week mid-build, and why an external source of truth saved itThe sales page math: roughly 12 hours last year, about 2 hours this year for all of themThe full video pipeline — Dropbox to Make to bunny.net to AirtableChapters:00:00 — The Unhinged Check-In00:18 — Something attacked Kinsey's apple tree, so she asked ChatGPT01:21 — Joyce asked ChatGPT to list the unhinged things she's asked it03:20 — What we built: the AI Systems Showcase04:36 — Why we started with a database instead of a landing page06:30 — The Airtable connector, and what changed since last year10:32 — What's actually inside an Airtable brain13:00 — Why a source of truth beats a very long chat13:40 — When Claude had a rough patch, and ChatGPT picked up the slack17:14 — 29 speakers: how Claude curated the lineup in five minutes21:22 — Where Claude got it wrong, and why human review still matters23:04 — Speaker emails, custom fields, and the Kit connector28:08 — Claude plus Canva: almost 60 speaker graphics, no copy-pasting32:37 — The sales page: 12 hours last year, 2 hours this year37:24 — Custom attendee trackers and why we build them42:03 — The video pipeline: Dropbox, Make, and bunny.net46:40 — What we're carrying into the October Summit49:46 — Free tickets, the all-access pass, and the waitlist"This is the new 'I walked 50 miles in the snow with no shoes on' — it's 'I wrote college papers at 2:00 AM with no ChatGPT.'" — JoyceTools mentioned: Airtable · Claude · ChatGPT · Kit · Canva · ThriveCart · Dropbox · bunny.net · Make · HeartbeatOne thing before you go: the Her AI Era Summit is October 12–16.
