When one of Max's reels promises a guide, this writes it, checks every fact and publishes it as the DM link, without anyone opening a design tool.

What it does

What it does

Reel to Guide writes the guide a reel promises. When Max posts a reel that says to comment for a guide, it checks the existing library first and only writes a new guide or prompt pack when nothing fits.

Each new guide is researched, written, fact-checked and scanned for private details, then published on maxbuilds.app as the reel’s DM link. Max only sees a guide when a check fails. Before this, each guide had to be written and designed by hand before the reel could go up.

The brief

The brief

Every reel that promised a guide meant writing and designing a page before the reel could go up.

Write the guide from the reel itself, check it hard, and only show Max the ones that fail.

How it works

01

Choose

One Claude call reads the reel’s transcript, caption and promise, plus every published guide and prompt pack. It reuses one, writes a new guide or pack, or leaves the link to Max.

02

Research

For a new guide it researches the topic and saves every source it uses.

03

Write

The guide is written from the reel itself, step by step, at the level the reel was pitched at.

04

Check every claim

Every command, setting and claim is compared with the saved sources. Anything unsupported fails.

05

Scan for private details

A pattern scan and a second read look for keys, emails, phone numbers and client names.

06

Publish

A guide that passes goes live on maxbuilds.app with no sign-up, becomes the reel’s DM link and is emailed to the list. One that fails waits for Max.

01

Reuse before writing

Why

Many reels promise something an existing guide already covers.

Effect

It checks the published guides first, and only writes a new one when nothing fits.

02

Every claim has a source

Why

A wrong command in a guide costs trust.

Effect

Every command, setting and claim is compared with the sources saved during research. Anything unsupported fails.

03

Nothing private reaches the page

Why

Guides draw on real builds, which can involve client work.

Effect

A pattern scan and a second read check for keys, emails, phone numbers and client names before anything is published.

A guide on the phoneThe finished guide as a reader sees it after tapping the DM link: what you need, then numbered steps. It’s free to read with no sign-up.
A guide held for a checkWhen a check fails, the guide is held and Max sees what failed. He can fix it before it goes live.
A format problemSome checks are about layout. A guide with a format problem is held the same way, so a broken page never reaches a reader.
A held guide on the phoneHeld guides also show on Max’s phone, so he can deal with them away from his desk.
The end of a guideEvery guide ends with one next step: the quiz that builds a personal plan. A reader who has already finished their plan sees the offer that fits it instead.
