# I'm Trying to Vibe Code My Entire Job Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CJEP2Lghh4 Recap page: https://rapidrecap.app/video/0CJEP2Lghh4 Generated: 2026-01-27T03:32:44.081+00:00 --- ## Quick Overview Austin Tedesco, a non-engineer focused on growth, details how he built a custom automation system using Cloud Code over three weeks to replace manual tasks across various platforms like Stripe, ChartMogul, YouTube, Notion, Google Calendar, and Email, streamlining daily workflows like pulling data, generating reports, drafting emails, and checking calendars without switching contexts. **Key Points:** - Tedesco built a custom automation system using Cloud Code over three weeks to automate his growth-related tasks, serving as a command center for daily operations. - The system integrates with multiple services including Stripe (subscription data), ChartMogul (churn/LTV), YouTube (analytics), Notion (content/data), Google Calendar (availability), and email drafting. - The primary goal of the custom tool is to automate tedious tasks like pulling data for morning briefs, tracking growth metrics, managing hiring pipelines in Notion, and drafting emails. - Tedesco demonstrated pulling YouTube performance data, which showed strong performance (590,812 views, +17,951 net sub growth YTD as of Jan 26, 2025). - He showed the system automatically finding a calendar event for 'Millie' and drafting an email summary to her within the terminal, linking to the generated Notion performance report. - The speaker notes that building this custom system felt more intuitive and less complex than learning enterprise software, even though he is not an engineer. - Future planned integrations include connecting to X/Twitter, HubSpot, and other social media analytics. ![Screenshot at 00:55: The speaker initiates the demonstration by running a command in the terminal, which launches the custom Cloud Code environment, displaying a welcome message and initial tips, indicating the start of the workflow automation demonstration.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/0CJEP2Lghh4/00-00-55.jpg) **Context:** Austin Tedesco, identifying as a non-engineer working in growth, explains the development and functionality of a bespoke automation system he created using Cloud Code. This system is designed to consolidate and automate numerous recurring administrative and analytical tasks that he previously performed manually across various SaaS platforms critical to his growth role, such as pulling data from YouTube and Stripe, updating Notion, and drafting emails. ## Detailed Analysis Austin Tedesco details the creation and capabilities of a custom automation tool built over three weeks using Cloud Code, designed to act as a central command center for his growth responsibilities. This tool integrates with numerous services: Stripe (querying subscription data), ChartMogul (analyzing churn and LTV), YouTube (pulling analytics), Notion (reading/writing pages/screenshots), Google Calendar (checking availability), and email (drafting). Tedesco demonstrates the system's power by first running a command to pull YouTube analytics, which immediately returns a detailed performance report showing strong YTD growth (e.g., 590,812 views, +17,951 net sub growth by Jan 26, 2025). He then demonstrates the parallel execution of tasks: finding an existing calendar event for 'Millie' (a colleague), creating a Notion page with the YouTube report data, and drafting an email to Millie summarizing the findings and including a link to the Notion page, all executed from the command line. Tedesco emphasizes that this custom solution, while complex to build, feels more intuitive than using off-the-shelf enterprise software, and he intends to expand its capabilities to include X/Twitter and other social analytics. ### Cloud Code Project Setup - Austin Tedesco, a non-engineer, built the system over three weeks using Cloud Code; System uses a set of instructions to create connections to various APIs and tools (Stripe, ChartMogul, YouTube, Notion, Calendar, Email, Posthog, Figma). ### YouTube Performance Demonstration - Command run to pull YouTube analytics returns a report showing strong performance: 33,200 total subscribers, 590,812 views YTD (Jan 1 - Jan 26), and +17,951 net sub growth. ### Automation Workflow Execution - The system executes parallel tasks: creating a Notion page with the YouTube report, finding a colleague's (Millie's) calendar availability, and drafting an email to her summarizing the findings. ### Tool Capabilities Overview - The displayed list shows the tool has read/write/search access across many services, including the ability to fetch URLs, run shell commands, and spawn specialized sub-agents for complex tasks. ### Next Steps and Intuition - Tedesco found the process of building this custom tool more intuitive than learning complex enterprise software; future plans involve connecting to X/Twitter, HubSpot, and other social platforms. ![Screenshot at 00:00: Austin Tedesco on a video call, introducing his project of automating his job using code.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/0CJEP2Lghh4/00-00-00.jpg) ![Screenshot at 00:56: The command line interface \(Terminal\) opens, showing the initial prompt for the custom Cloud Code environment named 'Claude Code v2.1.19'.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/0CJEP2Lghh4/00-00-56.jpg) ![Screenshot at 01:37: A detailed table listing the APIs and Data Sources the custom tool has access to, including Stripe, YouTube, Notion, and various built-in tools.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/0CJEP2Lghh4/00-01-37.jpg) ![Screenshot at 02:27: The terminal displays the YouTube Performance Report generated by the script, showing key metrics like Total Subscribers \(33,200\) and YTD Views \(590,812\).](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/0CJEP2Lghh4/00-02-27.jpg) ![Screenshot at 04:29: The speaker navigates to his Gmail inbox, highlighting that the system successfully drafted an email to his colleague Millie.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/0CJEP2Lghh4/00-04-29.jpg)
