## Notes
- [I gave Google Flow two references and told it to go wild](https://channel47.dev/notes/google-flow-reference-led-product-imagery.md): Two references gave Google Flow the visual direction. Real X-All product photos gave it the subject. Packaging QA and final edits still need a human.
- [Shipping a Google Ads MCP before Google did](https://channel47.dev/notes/google-ads-mcp.md): Why I built a Google Ads MCP server before I'd ever written GAQL, and why the dry-run guardrail had to live in the server instead of the config file.
- [A simple architecture for agent-assisted recruiting](https://channel47.dev/notes/agent-assisted-recruiting.md): A recruiting system that reads our open roles and a short list of companies we admire, pulls licensed candidate data, and drafts outreach for a person to approve. The first run surfaced 243 relevant candidates in about five minutes.
