Claude AI Agent Setup – Art Business Email Inquiry System
I'm a professional fine art painter (represented by a Maine gallery, award-winning, active collector base) building an AI-powered inquiry and marketing system for my art business. I've made solid progress on a Node.js-based agent that monitors an IMAP inbox, generates AI draft responses via the Anthropic Claude API, and supports outreach to an international collector market — but I've hit a few setup hurdles and need an experienced developer to help me get across the finish line.
- *What I Need Help With**
- Secure API key configuration (.env / dotenv setup in Node.js) - IMAP inbox monitoring — ensuring reliable connection and message handling - Claude API integration (claude-sonnet model, prompt tuning for art inquiry tone) - Reviewing and debugging existing Node.js code - Optionally: advising on social content pipeline architecture for international markets
- *Ideal Candidate**
- Proven experience with the Anthropic Claude API or similar LLM integrations - Comfortable with Node.js (IMAP libraries, dotenv, async/await) - Communicates clearly — this is a solo creative business, not a tech company - Available for a focused engagement (5–15 hours estimated)
