How Tori Rowe Built an AI Operating System for His Entire Agency21 May 202600:34:12

This episode features Torii Rowe, a Foxwell Founders member and agency operator who has quietly built a near-fully automated media buying operating system using AI. Tori dives in on how he uses Claude to ingest over 9 billion rows of client data to surface creative and media buying insights no human could pull manually. He walks through standardized naming conventions as a prerequisite for querying data across all clients, along with practical advice on where media buyers should spend their time, and the 1 tool all agency owners should be using to talk through their business problems with AI before building anything.

Key Takeaways

  • How to connect an AI model directly to your data warehouse to unlock insights without writing SQL.
  • What a true AI operating system for a 30+ clients actually look like
  • Why this one metric is a better early indicator of creative performance than click-through rate or CPM.
  • How standardizing their naming conventions unlocked a cross-client creative analysis that no analytics platform currently offers out of the box.
  • The step-by-step stack Tori uses to go from client call data, to creative brief, to AI-generated ad.
  • The 1 thing that Weavy (Figma Weave) actually does that other AI image tools cannot.
  • When to bring in real engineers versus continuing to build with Claude Code yourself.
  • How to prevent analysis paralysis when you have access to massive amounts of data and insights

AI DTC WTF: Stop Starting From Scratch21 May 202600:39:29

Andrew Foxwell & Will Sartorious open with a quick roundup of what's new in AI before diving into the main interview. They cover GPT-4o's image generation model beating Gemini in a 15-ad cookoff, a new Alibaba animation model called Happy Horse for animating static ads, Claude's new design tool, a Canva feature that separates layers on AI-generated ads for editing, and a joint venture between Anthropic, Blackstone, and Goldman Sachs that signals a shift toward AI-augmented service businesses.

The interview with Grant Hushek focuses on practical AI infrastructure for teams. Grant is an AI consultant specializing in education, adoption, and implementation. The bulk of the conversation covers skill files and markdown files, what they are, how to build them, how to share them across teams, and how to iterate on them. Grant explains how he connected Fathom (his note-taker) to HubSpot to auto-update CRM records every two hours, and he shares his three-iteration framework for building high-quality skill files. The episode wraps with a debate on Cowork vs. Claude Code and a practical screen-share walkthrough Grant does live on the call.

Key Takeaways

  • Why this one file type is the single most important building block for getting repeatable, high-quality AI output in your business.
  • Why you need to be sharing AI skill files with your team so that everyone produces the same level of output.
  • The first four markdown files every company should create when getting started with Claude.
  • Why should you be talking to Claude instead of typing when building your "About Me" and voice & tone files.
  • How this three-iteration framework turns a bad first skill file into one you'd actually be proud to use every day.
  • The real difference between Cowork and Claude Code, and the one that is actually right for your team.
  • The Process Grant used to automatically update every CRM contact record after every call.
  • Why giving Claude a PDF template tanks the quality of the output it produces and the file type you should use instead.
