What You Will Have When This Is Done

A system that runs every morning, searches the internet for people complaining about your competitors, scores them by buying intent, and saves them to a CSV file ready for outreach.

Before You Start

You need these two things installed on your computer.

⚙️ Requirements

• Claude Pro subscription (claude.ai, $20/month)
• Windows PC (this guide is written for Windows)

Step 1: Install Node.js

Go to nodejs.org and download the LTS version. Run the installer and click Next through everything.

Open PowerShell (press Windows key, type powershell, hit Enter) and run:

node --version

You should see a version number like v24.x.x. If you do, move to Step 2.

Step 2: Install Claude Code

Run this in PowerShell:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Then run:

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
