Health insurance information is technically available, but it’s rarely easy to understand when you actually need it. Policies are long, terms are confusing, and most answers online are generic. So I built a small tool that helps you ask questions in plain language and get a plain-language response back. Try it here Why I built this While searching for insurance policies for my autistic brother, I couldn't find much guidance around health insurance coverage for neurodiverse ki

This follow-up is about the Zapier layer that keeps the Airtable CRM tidy without manual work. The automations watch Google Drive for new policy and KYC files, extract the key fields (via OCR/GPT), create or update the right records, keep each contact’s active verticals in sync, and file expired documents in the right place. The goal is straightforward: fewer edits, fewer misses, and a base that stays clean as the book grows. Policy doc → structured record (Drive → Airtable,

TLDR I built a lightweight CRM on Airtable for a small insurance distributor. Two linked tables (Contacts ↔ Policies), searchable docs, renewal tracking, and a tap-to-WhatsApp/email reminder. Free up to ~1K rows; scales at ~$20/mo with built-in Zapier automations @ $25/mo What am I trying to solve After a book grows past ~100–200 clients, spreadsheets and ad-hoc notes stop being reliable for renewal tracking and client follow-ups. Insurance work depends on timely renewals and

If you’ve read my other posts, you know I love tiny tools that make real-life moments easier simple, web-based things you can just open and use. This one is exactly that: a two-choice listening game that says “Select dog,” shows two images, and celebrates the right tap. Why I made this Speech can be fast; pictures can be noisy; choices can be overwhelming. This app reduces the moment to one clear prompt, two clear options, and instant feedback. (If you’re curious about the pe

Why I’ve made this I have an autistic brother. He’s 20, bright and funny, and he still finds money confusing—especially when it shifts from tokens  (notes) to abstract numbers . We’ve tried worksheets, apps, and flashcards. They all expected him to “get” the numbers first. So I flipped it: start with what he can see and touch . Build the number sense after  he’s comfortable with the visual  and practical  flow of buying something. That’s how Money Matters  started—first for h

The Struggle Is Real Looking at a spreadsheet of 30,000+ rows is akin to being told you have to count rice grains individually—possible, but desiccating. I had to sort an ocean of e-commerce listings by use, customer, size, and even movie franchises (which, twist of fate, I wasn't fully aware of), before tomorrow's team huddle. Imagine this: Me, laptop humming like a jet, and Excel stuck again. Good times. The Usual Suspects (a.k.a. My Failed Attempts). On a typical day, I'd
