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 one
- How Claude read every speaker application and curated a 29-person lineup in five minutes
- The thing Claude got wrong, and why human review still matters
- How Claude and Canva produced almost 60 speaker graphics with no copy-pasting
- What happened when Claude had a rough week mid-build, and why an external source of truth saved it
- The sales page math: roughly 12 hours last year, about 2 hours this year for all of them
- The full video pipeline — Dropbox to Make to bunny.net to Airtable
