There's a way to tune your Claude code so you get absolute superpowers. Some of my smartest friends are using this tool and it's called Last 30 Days. It just came out and I had the founder Matt Van Horn come on the podcast to show how to use it. What last 30 days does is it uses trending data on places like X and Reddit as the starting point for your prompts on Claude code. The cool part is you end up getting way more out of Claude code because the prompts are way more dialed and optimized. Enjoy the episode. Let me know if you think this is cool and I'll see you in there. I feel like I'm in. I know I'm in for a treat. Matt Van Horn is on the podcast and he's going to demo something very special. Matt, by the end of this episode, what are people going to learn?
- [00:56]
B
They will have a new superpower in Claude code. It's called Last 30 Days and it's gonna for any topic you could possibly imagine from best prompting techniques for a particular tool to how should I use claudebot to what are the greatest rap songs right now? It's gonna search X, Twitter and the web for only things that have happened in the last 30 days and give you a great result and help you be expert.
- [01:23]
A
My smartest friends are using this right now, so I had to ask Matt to come on and showcase how to use this. So thank you, Matt. I say we just get right into it.
- [01:32]
B
All right, yolo, let's go. I can just dive in. So we are in cloud code and so this is a skill for cloud code and so once you install it you just type in last 30 days. So research any topic from the last 30 days so can be anything. So let's say I want, let's kick one off right here, most popular rap songs. So let's kick that one off and then I'll show some pre canned ones that I've done. So using the last 30 days of school, let's research the most popular rap songs. Let me research the pop rap songs from the last 30 days. And so right here it's Reddit reading what Redditors are saying X reading the timeline and then it's also running a web search.
- [02:28]
A
So is the thinking like is the reason why you created this is there's so much good data on the Internet and you want to use that as like the jumping off point?
- [02:35]
B
Is that why the reason that I built this tool is I feel like everything is moving so quickly in AI and it's nearly impossible to keep up with the conversation on X, on Reddit, on GitHub. And I wanted a tool that gives you superpowers to be able to just become expert on any topic based on what's happening on Reddit, X and the web very, very quickly. Because the prompts are changing so quickly. What's happening to look at my Moltbot, what's happened there, it's changing so quickly. And so being able to just become expert at something, it kind of reminds me in the Matrix when he gets plugged in and it's like, I know kung fu, right? So to be able to do that for any topic very, very quickly is why I built this. And honestly, so I could use it for myself. Looks like our rap research. So I found one Reddit thread, 19 expos and the most popular rap songs right now. So it kind of dug in into hip hop heads, some expos, Billboard data, some Spotify data, Hip hop heads, hip hop all day, rap complex, and created this reply.
- [03:53]
A
So someone in the comment section is going to be like, well, I could have used Perplexity or chatgpt to do that. Why should I use this?
- [04:01]
B
Yeah, so you absolutely could, but it's. And again, I'm not fully up to date on which tools have what access. But to set up last 30 days, so you need Claude code, right? So you're already paying for Claude code, right? So you need that account, you need a OpenAI key. Because OpenAI has a deal with Reddit, it gives you that Reddit access. I'm actually looking into Reddit API keys, if that's an option to make the product better. That's what I was. That's one of the things my weekend projects. And then the third is you can't search X using your X account. You have to use an XAI key. And so last 30 days pulls in all these API keys and pulls it all together, if that makes sense. So this is one that I did right before we started. So I said, Last 30 days, highest performing cold email frameworks for ICP output, three email variants, subject line. So it went on X, went on Twitter, found Reddit threads, expos, web pages. And what's interesting how I use this tool is I often don't even read what it says. Like, sure, it's interesting to see what it learned, but mostly I just wanted to write a good email. So I said, can you write me some cold emails for getting on Greg Eisenberg's podcast? Sorry, I spelled your name wrong. Good target startup ideas later is all about unconventional startup ideas, community building and found its unique relevance. What's your angle? What's your credibility signal Any connection points to Greg Mutual follows what timely talk about AI tools I'm working on and I once made a smart oven. Smart oven details gold unexpected founders who shipped hardware and software. That's your hook. Here are three email variants Subject Smart oven AI tools not the path Greg went from building smart oven to building AI tools might sound weird until you hear it. Turns out the hardest part of hardware taught me exactly what's broken and how people interact with AI. I'm building the fix. Katrina what a smart oven taught me about AI. So anyway, I literally did nothing here. I barely gave it any context and it had become expert in different cold emailing concepts. The three Ps framework praise picture push ADA attention I've never read any of these in my life. Intention based data trigger framework and then it just did it for me if that makes sense without even me having to read the research.
- [06:26]
A
Yeah, I think what's really cool about this is these frameworks. I mean ADA has been around for forever like you know, OG David Ogilvy days. But other than the other ones, it feels like those are timely frameworks like these emails. Like I'm reading these emails and I get a lot of cold email and these are actually ones that would break through the noise. So that's what's really cool about this.
- [06:51]
B
And I didn't give it much effort. I literally said I'm a former smart oven entrepreneur.
- [06:58]
A
You couldn't have given it like less context.
- [07:01]
B
And it did. Okay. Yeah. And then another one I just tried last three days how to get X followers. I researched people actually saying and what I learned replies the number one growth strategy multiple X power users all credit becoming a reply guy as the fastest path to growth shows 3080 thoughtful replies daily engagement 40 before posting find larger accounts reply first Consistently post at least 1x a day, 5 days a week Reddit threads X threads, Instagram marketing, Facebook ads and share your vision. What's your account and what's up with followers? I'm Van Horn and I made an AI tool for Claude code. I don't know what it's going to do now.
- [07:48]
A
That's the exciting part.
- [07:50]
B
One one other let's spin off another last 30 days window. Sorry for all the all the windows. So all right, so last 30 days of research clause claudebot so I can build an enterprise competitor to make money and not give it away for free. Maybe I'm giving too much Context. But I should have just said research club. Actually, I'm gonna do that.
- [08:27]
A
I mean, what do you recommend when you're, you know, is it shorter prompts, medium proms, long prompts? Like how getting the most out of.
- [08:34]
B
I. I think it's kind of you prime the engine by first doing just research cloudbot top use cases so my vision for this thread of what we're going to do is it's going to learn about cloudbot, right? Check X, check Reddit and then what I'm going to do is actually load one of my favorite tools, compound engineering. Shout out to Kevin Rose for introducing me to it. And compound engineering is when I'm starting a new project, is where I do my planning. And so what I want to do here is take this research on from last 30 days from Claudebot and use that as the starting point to kick off a enterprise version of claudebot and to build it. So let's let this run, see how our other stuff is going to. All right, I'm environment aitool for Claude code. Aatools are hot right now. Here's a growth playbook for you. Morning 4050 for your first post, reply to 10 from anthropic Alex Albert Birch Labs Claude Power users add genuine value Share a tip.

- [10:03]
A
That's not bad.
- [10:05]
B
No, it's. It's not bad. So, all right, let's close this one out. All right, we got cloud code best use, overnight coding, agent management, daily briefings and morning. Do you want to dive deeper? Okay, so now I'm going to call in another tool. Let's throw in workflows, plan, take the context above about claudebot and propose an enterprise version that could make a lot of money. Just do that, keep it simple.
- [10:39]
A
Yeah, I mean this is, this is interesting, right? Like, you know, you're taking a trend, open source trend, and you're like, okay, how can I build a product that gets me paid? And it's interesting because there's so many trends that are happening right now on X as like a data source and Reddit as a data Source that if this is actually good, it's going to help give you ideas and sort of eventually a prd, right?
- [11:07]
B
Yep. Anyway, so it's still making our plan, it's researching, still doing an analysis. So we'll, we'll see where that adds up. But anyway, do you want to try a last 30 day prompt?
- [11:20]
A
Yeah, I mean, I'm curious. Like, I mean you're seeing all the, all these prompts. So like the people that listen to this show, these are people, these are founders, solopreneurs, people building businesses. They're always looking for unfair advantages. Like what sort of, what sort of prompt do you. Would you suggest that that type of person, someone who wants to build a business. Is it competitive research? What are some ideas you have?
- [11:53]
B
Good question. I think it's very good for competitive research. I think it's very good for looking at hot topics. I think we could probably do something.
- [12:06]
A
Like.
- [12:09]
B
Let'S try it for your web design idea. Right. You kind of describe poke.com which I missed. Right. So what web page designs are getting the most love right now?
- [12:24]
A
Yeah, because that's interesting. Because if we, you know, knowing the trend is just so important.
- [12:31]
B
And.
- [12:33]
A
It also helps like give, you know, when I'm, when I'm designing something, it helps give me ideas. It gives. It's so overwhelming sometimes when you have like a blank page and you don't know where to start.
- [12:44]
B
Yep, we've all been there. And I kind of, my kind of the. The thing that inspired this tool was I used to. Before I would jump into any type of vibe coding session, I would go on ChatGPT 5.2 and I would just say in thinking mode and be like, go. This was for design. I would say go on Reddit and research Nana Banana Pro. Best, best prompting techniques. And I would do that at the beginning. And then I wouldn't even read what it would say. And then I would just be like, okay, give me a prompt. And so it's kind of this like hack of learning kung fu, learning the prompts that everyone's using without actually needing to read about it, if that makes sense. You kind of just like, okay, let's just trust the mind crowd the world that's out there and use those best practices. All right, we've got a plan. I guess let's open the plan in bbedit.
- [13:52]
A
All right, so this is the plan for the audio listeners. So this is the plan for the.
- [13:58]
B
MoltBot Enterprise Commercial SaaS platform. So again, this is not a business plan. This is actually a Plan to how to build the software architecture and I could just then tell Compound Engineering to just go build it. So transform Multbot formerly called into an open source AI person into a multi tenant enterprise SaaS platform called Multbot Enterprise or Claude Cloud. This capitalizes on the viral growth GitHub stars B2B adoption, enterprise AI assistance, R30, blah blah blah. Why enterprise can't use Multbot today? No multi tenancy, no RBA security vulnerabilities, no audit logging. There was movewise required by ServiceNow for market validation. Proposed solution of fully managed enterprise grade Mobot Commercial. I really don't like the name Cloud. Cloud. Come on, come on. LLM cloud architecture, Slack Webhook, Discord Gateway Team hooks message reader Cortex components and so kind of it used last 30 days as the basis for its expertise to learn about Multbot and then it did the rest and now I could just say okay, build it.
- [15:11]
A
Dude, that's crazy. It also. That was pretty dialed. That was pretty dialed. I'm impressed.
- [15:22]
B
And LLMs knew nothing about claudebot because it didn't exist before very, very recently. All right, phase one, only. Build a multi tenant foundation postgres full mvp I guess. Let's build the proof of concept.
- [15:43]
A
So basically it asked if you wanted to do an mvp. It asked if you want to do a bigger build. Is that what I saw?
- [15:51]
B
Yeah, exactly. And so I just said, okay, let's just do the demo. Type something else new Repo. Also, can you please give it a better name? Greg, you live in this world. What should we call this thing?
- [16:06]
A
I mean, why not? I actually don't hate Claude Cloud. It just.
- [16:13]
B
Well, they got in trouble for using Claude.
- [16:15]
A
Exactly. So why not just call Molt Cloud?
- [16:19]
B
But then we're in trouble with Molt Mold.
- [16:22]
A
Okay, so why don't we call it Lobster? I was going to say that. Why don't we call it Red Lobster? But I think that name.
- [16:35]
B
All right, let's go with. Let's go with Leet speak. Let's go with Red Laffe.
- [16:40]
A
That's cool.
- [16:41]
B
This describes a 40 week product row surveys. What scope do you want to do? I don't know. Just. Just do it.
- [16:48]
A
Just do it. Why are you asking me so many questions?
- [16:51]
B
All right, all right. What do we ask here? What web designs are getting the most love right now? The most love? Shopify Winner edition. Yes, I remember. I saw that one. That was really.
- [17:01]
A
That was really awesome. That was beautiful.
- [17:04]
B
Look, 3,000 likes. Three 20 retweets. The YC landing page. So what's funny is I saw this. I didn't actually look at it yet, but I saw that it was getting love and hype praise for scrappy Humble beginnings shop web landing all were like jewelry craftworks design all agents reported back Reddit and finding topic too visual for text discussions but found what tool do you want to use to create design? So it's like, okay, now that I've researched these things, what do you want to design in? So it's kind of pushing you to be like, okay, I've now learned this expertise, now let's do something with it.
- [17:44]
A
So this could literally pump out a Figma design. Is that possible?
- [17:50]
B
I haven't spent enough time in figma in the AI era. All my Figma time was pre AI, so I don't know what prompting Figma even means in 2026, but I could just say one and see what happens. Now what are you designing? All right, now let's dive again. A portfolio landing page for productivity app is fine. What are the suggestions?
- [18:20]
A
This is what are you designing? A SaaS landing page, a portfolio site e commerce homepage for skincare brand agency website Hero and so I keep coming back to this, but it is impressive how little you're giving like how short your prompts are.
- [18:39]
B
Here we go. Here's a prompt for Figma. Apparently that's the thing. 2026 forward trend design a landing pad that feels warm and humid, not cold SAS tablet layout Anti grid composition HERO section Use asymmetrical balance Headline left product screenshots floating right at angle. Sections will flow organic with varied spacing, not rigid 12 column uniformity typography 1 oversized display headline paired with small body text Add a single hand drawn underline or circle accent on the keyword. Consider variable font like Satoshi or General sans nature distilled warm cream Background charcoal text one muted accent Avoid harsh pure white or saturated blues Glass morphism Element Feature card I want to see this. It's too bad I don't have Figma AI set up, but so that's pretty cool.
- [19:27]
A
Let's see if it can do this for like a Nano Banana prompt. Like hey, I wonder if it can do that. Can you make this a Nano Banana Pro prompt? Yep, but I'm expert in a Nano.
- [19:44]
B
Banana, but I didn't ask it to become a Nano Banana prompt expert, so who knows what's going to happen.
- [19:50]
A
Yeah, back to Telegram and let's see what happens. We should get three images your Malt bot is typing. That's a cool feeling. Like watching your Malt bot type.
- [20:07]
B
Someone needs to visualize that with like a lobster on a keyboard.
- [20:11]
A
Yeah. Why did you choose telegram over iMessage or Discord or something else?
- [20:24]
B
Because my LLM told me to. Because I'm on a $4 a month shell account for my. I don't have the Mac mini set up and so the. You can't use iMessage or WhatsApp. I believe when you're just on a shell, I think you need to run some sort of Mac software. And so Telegram seems to be the default when you don't have that.
- [20:50]
A
And for people who don't know what a shell account is. Can you just expand on that?
- [20:55]
B
Yeah, sorry. By the way, this is our cloudbot competitor that it's building. I don't know what is going on or what it's building. It's adding a demo script showing tenant isolation. Then oh, it Already set up TypeScript and Node JS. That's nice.
- [21:11]
A
Wow, that's cool.
- [21:14]
B
Here we go. Oh yeah, not bad. But it'd be nicer in figma. That was pretty solid. And again that was by using last 30 days. What are the hottest webpage designs that the world is excited about right now? Like what's trendy? And then. Okay, now use that for my SaaS productivity app. I like how it like circled random words flow effortlessly more.
- [21:40]
A
That's awesome. Yeah, like that it feels like hand drawn.
- [21:43]
B
It's. It's pretty wild. It's wild times. It's the rate at what we're able to build things and how fast things change is absolutely wild.
- [21:55]
A
So, Matt, this has been fun. You know, if people want to get started, they want to like, what advice do you have, you know, in terms of getting the most out of this product?
- [22:09]
B
Yeah. So one of the things I'll say is I, I am not a software engineer. I have not shipped anything of value since high school and could argue the web pages I was shipping in high school were not a value either. But at least I could write some basic HTML or some basic scripts. And so what's amazing is being not a software engineer and being able to go into Claude code, like it seems intimidating. You're in the terminal setting up a cloud bot seems intimidating. And my recommendation for starting out is set up Claude code. It's magical. Sign up for the $20 account if you'll be on the $100 and the $200 account probably real soon if you're. If you're successful. And what I do is I have keep a chatgpt window Open to, ask questions to. And so I'm kind of moving back and forth and posting lots of screenshots. Be like, there's some error. I don't know what's going on. Help me. And so chatgpt5.2 thinking I'll be like, okay, great, in your shell, in your terminal. This is what's going on. This is why it broke. And I'm like, okay, great. What do I do? Help? And then it's just like, copy this into the terminal. I'm like, okay. And I again, don't even have to read it, don't have to overthink it. And so kind of just like screenshot trial and error back and forth between ChatGPT and my terminal. And like, I couldn't figure out actually how to post screenshots into my terminal. So I asked ChatGPT and it's like, oh, you have to use Control V instead of Control Command V. And once that, that was the biggest unlock for me in the terminal, figuring out that I could post screenshots with Control V. And anyway, so I recommend getting into cloud code and try last 30 days, obviously, because it gives you superpowers, but use tools like compound engineering, use skills. Like there's another one called Superpowers, which is getting a lot of love right now. And you just kind of enter these plan modes and you try and you build things. And I had this idea for the last 30 days and I've never looked at the code for the skill that I wrote, quote, unquote. And it was just a lot of trial and error and running more and more terminal windows and testing it and testing it and being like, hey, figure out how to get access to this API. Hey, figure how I could do this. Hey, how can my users do this? And going from there.
- [24:38]
A
I love that, man. Well, I'll include a link to last 30 days in the show notes in the description link where, where you can follow Matt Van Horn on X. And dude, this is, this is really cool. And it's crazy that this is just sort of like a project that you started and it's gaining so much traction and I think people are just, you know, obsessed with Claude code for. For good reason. But I think people are just trying to get the most out of it. So this came at a very perfect time and can't wait to see how it evolves. Thanks for doing a little show and tell for us.
- [25:16]
B
Of course. It was fun being here. Thank you so much, Craig.
- [25:18]
A
I appreciate it. Matt, till next time.
