Building AI Production Solutions with Claude Code

Chris Sabato, a production professional at a small liberal arts college, and Craig Macfarlane, who built Office Hours Global's own Show Hub, join Tuesday Focus to share how they're using Claude Code to solve real production problems on tight budgets. From Chris's college production workflow to Craig's custom-built Show Hub, it's proof that you don't need a big budget to build smart.

For example, do you tend to assign less demanding tasks to less expensive AI tools? 00:46:42 When each of you is given the same production problem, How does your approach to defining, prompting, building, and validating a Claude Code solution differ from non A.I. projects? 00:48:18 How long would this project have taken without Claude Code and at what cost? 00:50:22 Have either of you tried using Graphify with Claude Code, and if so, how did it change how you prompted Claude - was token usage reduced or a better result obtained? 00:51:42 Have you seen backlash from traditional developers when sharing your Claude Code-generated tools? 00:57:08 I would like to get AI to create graphics for me. I'll supply images, words, colors, and I want to get a poster advertising my show or business. Is this possible? Which AI service would I use? 00:59:08 If Fable 5 is "magical", what do you think Mythos can do and have you ever used it – or know someone who has? 01:01:44 When you get the A.I. to show you errors you have corrected in the code, does it remember them and not make the same mistakes in future? Is it learning from you? 01:04:09 AI-assisted coding can make a production tool appear finished very quickly. What testing and validation do you use before trusting Claude Code-generated software in a production environment?
