The fastest way to build AI apps

We’re excited to introduce Writer AI Studio, the fastest way to build AI apps, products, and features. Writer’s unique full-stack design makes it easy to prototype, deploy, and test AI apps – allowing developers to build with APIs, a drag-and-drop open-source Python framework, or a no-code builder, so you have flexibility to build the way you want.

Writer comes with a suite of top-ranking LLMs and has built-in RAG for easy integration with your data. Check it out if you’re looking to streamline how you build and integrate AI apps.

What’s up Automators?

I’ve always wanted to leverage the social strategies of Substack with the monetization flywheel & open API of Beehiiv to grow my newsletter. I figured out a way and sharing the honey.

First, I do believe Substack and Beehiiv are both awesome newsletter platforms. They just have different capabilities for growth:

• Substack - Closed. Build a network and grow together.

• Beehiiv - Open. API. Monetize with an Ad network. Reinvest earnings to grow.

Once you build a network of followers in Substack, it gets scary to leave. You put in all this work to build up your network of newsletters that recommend yours.

With this workflow, you don’t have to worry about giving that up. Plus, since people are still subscribing on Substack, you’ll still be driving subscribers to the newsletters that you recommend, too. Win Win.

This is how you can set up an automation to grow with both platforms.

Then be sure to check out how I use Clay to automate enrichments + segmentation for the audience.

The Workflow

This is part of a larger workflow that I have setup for claymation.io:

Step 1: Setting up Zapier Email Parser

Below is a video of how I set this up. You can also check out this more in depth guide from Zapier if you run into any trouble.

Overview:

1. Create Zapier Email Parser Inbox

2. Forward one of your Substack ‘New Subscriber’ emails to the Inbox

3. Show Zapier what info you want to extract

4. Subscriber emails will now be extracted from forwarded emails that you’ll then use in the next step when setup your Zap workflow (Zapier Email Parser to Beehiiv)

Step 2: Create Zap

This is the workflow that we’re building and below is the video walkthrough so you can follow step by step.

And now the video walkthrough:
