The full story
On 10 August a magnitude 7.4 earthquake hit Colombia, with Pereira worst affected. Hundreds of pets ran off, and the information was scattered across Facebook groups and Instagram stories. A local WordPress developer built a platform with Claude in about two days.
Before any code, Claude researched comparable disasters, from Kumamoto to Katrina. Two findings changed the plan: when many platforms compete, one takes almost all reports, and the real bottleneck is found reports, so vets and shelters matter more than owners. Claude also pushed back twice: it argued against a donations section because local press was warning of donation fraud, and declined to bulk-scrape social media, citing Colombia's data protection law and suggesting group admins be asked instead.
