The Python Scripts That Run My Entire AI Consulting Business

#ai #automation #python #productivity

I run a solo AI consulting practice that generates the equivalent output of a 3-person team. The secret? 7 Python scripts that automate everything.

Script 1: Client Research Bot

# Simplified version of my research automation
import anthropic

def research_prospect(company_name, industry):
    client = anthropic.Anthropic()
    prompt = f"""Research {company_name} in {industry}. 
    Return: recent news, leadership, pain points, 
    competitor positioning, and 3 talking points 
    for a sales meeting."""

    response = client.messages.create(
        model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
        max_tokens=2000,
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
    )
    return response.content[0].text

This replaces 45 minutes of manual research with 8 minutes of AI-powered analysis.

Script 2: Proposal Generator

Takes a client brief and produces an 80% complete proposal with:

Executive summary customized to their industry
Scope of work with specific deliverables
3-tier pricing (good/better/best)
Timeline with milestones
ROI projections based on their company size

18 minutes instead of 2.5 hours.

Script 3: Meeting Summary Engine

Records calls via Whisper, transcribes, then generates:

Structured summary with key decisions
Action items with owners and deadlines
Follow-up email draft
CRM update notes

Saves 30-45 minutes per meeting.

Script 4: Email Triage System

Categorizes incoming email into: urgent, routine, spam, prospect. Drafts responses for routine emails. Routes prospects to CRM with priority scores.

Saves 4.2 hours per week on email alone.

Script 5: Report Generator

Pulls data from client analytics, generates formatted weekly/monthly reports with insights and recommendations. What used to take 5 hours per client now takes 4 minutes.

Script 6: Content Multiplier

One article becomes 5 LinkedIn posts, 3 social media pieces, 2 email sections. Maintains consistent voice and messaging across all formats.

Script 7: Invoice + Time Tracker

Automatically tracks time spent per client, generates invoices at month end, sends payment reminders.

The Combined Impact

Script	Hours Saved/Week
Research	4.5
Proposals	8.8
Meeting Summaries	4.5
Email Triage	4.2
Reports	7.0
Content	3.25
Invoicing	1.0
Total	33.25

At $200/hr consulting rate, that's $6,650/week in recovered capacity.

The scripts cost $47/month to run (Claude Pro + Perplexity).
