Build creator tools for carousels, channel research and thumbnails with Claude Code

Becky Isjwara, who writes Small Creator Big World with Bhav Sharma, had ignored coding agents until she watched a friend use Claude Code in plain English. In three weeks, without coding, she built four tools for small creators. One turns a YouTube video into Instagram or LinkedIn carousels of its best quotes, a job she says took half a day or more and now takes minutes. Others package podcast episodes with titles and thumbnail text and find bigger peer channels to suggest video ideas. An analytics tool studied thumbnails across 776 videos from 57 channels in an afternoon versus three days by hand. She also rebuilt her site in under an hour, leaving Squarespace at £200 a year.
