WHAT YOU'LL LEAVE WITH.

01

The meta skill of working with AI.

02

One everyday task automated. On your real data.

03

Your own project. Started.

USING AI IS LIKE HANDWRITING. YOU'LL LEAVE WITH YOURS.

>

LEBRON VS. A BABY.

I WILL NOT HIRE SOMEONE UNWILLING TO LEARN AI

NOT 10X ANYMORE. CLOSER TO 100X. skills on autopilot

THE BEST PEOPLE WILL BRING THEIR OWN AGENTS TO WORK

>

"BUT I ALREADY USE CHATGPT..."

CHAT

Answers questions.

CLAUDE CODE

Does work.

30 CLICKS BECAME 30 SECONDS.

>

DON'T BE
THE PIGEON GUY.

Refusing AI in 2026 is insisting on paper mail because you don't trust email.

MOST PEOPLE'S MENTAL MODEL OF AI IS 3+ YEARS OLD.

>

WHAT IS CLAUDE CODE ANYWAY?

BORN IN THE TERMINAL the hacker-movie screen

SAY WHAT YOU WANT. IN PLAIN LANGUAGE.

TODAY: A FRIENDLY DESKTOP APP terminal optional

INSTEAD OF 30 CLICKS, ONE SENTENCE.

WHY IS THAT POWERFUL?

CONTEXT

IT SEES YOUR FILES + TOOLS

+

ACTION

IT ACTUALLY DOES THINGS

→

AN EMPLOYEE,
NOT ADVICE

WITH YOUR PERMISSION. ALWAYS.

>

THE EVERYTHING APP.

GMAIL

CALENDAR

NOTION

HUBSPOT

SHEETS

SEARCH CONSOLE

YOUR CMS

WHATEVER YOU USE

YOU DON'T NEED PYTHON. CLAUDE KNOWS IT.

>

TASK 1 · 20 MIN

CLEAN UP YOUR DOWNLOADS FOLDER.

PASTE THIS

> I want to clean up and organize my Downloads folder. First look at what's in there and ask me clarifying questions before doing anything. Then propose a plan, and only execute after I approve it.

WHEN A PERMISSION POPS UP, ASK CLAUDE WHAT IT DOES.

>

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

IT ASKED QUESTIONS. BECAUSE YOU TOLD IT TO.

IT ASKED PERMISSION. YOU STAYED IN CONTROL.

EVERYONE'S RESULT LOOKS DIFFERENT. that's the handwriting

ALWAYS TELL IT TO ASK CLARIFYING QUESTIONS.

>

CLAUDE HAS
GROUNDHOG DAY MEMORY.

Every session, it wakes up fresh.

>

WRITE BETTER NOTES FOR IT TO WAKE UP TO.

>

TOKENS, IN PLAIN ENGLISH.

INPUT

Everything you send it. Text, files, images. Cheaper.

OUTPUT

Everything it produces for you. Pricier.

THAT'S THE WHOLE THEORY.

>

PICK THE RIGHT BRAIN.

SONNET fast. everyday driving.

OPUS strong. hard problems.

FABLE smartest. hungriest.

LET THE SMART ONE PLAN. DELEGATE THE REST.

>

API, CLI, MCP... WTF?

CLI

Talk to a program by typing.

API

Programs talking to programs.

MCP

A plug that gives Claude hands.

YOU ONLY NEED TO RECOGNIZE THE WORDS.

>

TASK 2 · 30 MIN

GIVE CLAUDE YOUR INBOX AND CALENDAR.

PICK A MISSION

> Which emails from the last 3 days actually need a reply from me? One line each, ranked by urgency.

> Look at next week's calendar and write my Monday-morning briefing: what's coming, what needs prep, where am I double-booked?

> Find the oldest email still waiting on me and draft a reply in my tone. Show me. Don't send.

DRAFTS ONLY. NOTHING GETS SENT TODAY.

>

LIVE DEMO

MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL RUNS ITSELF.

SUBS

15,000 subscribers.

EFFORT

I barely check the videos.

VOICE

A clone. Viewers can't tell.

"AI CONTENT IS SLOP" IS A SKILL ISSUE.

>

IT'S NOT MAGIC.
IT'S DECOMPOSITION.

A VIDEO

CHAIN THE PARTS. RUN THE WHOLE THING.

>

TEACH IT ONCE.

CLAUDE.MD

The note it reads every morning of its Groundhog Day.

SKILLS

Recipes it repeats perfectly. Teach once, run forever.

MEMORY

Facts about you it saves as you go.

LIVE: "CREATE A CLAUDE.MD ABOUT ME. INTERVIEW ME FIRST."

>

JUST ASK CLAUDE.

SEE SOMETHING COOL? "I want to recreate this. What do we need? Ask me questions, then plan."

WRONG ANSWER? "I know there's a solution. Think harder. Verify online."

STUCK ON A MANUAL STEP? "Give me exact step-by-step instructions."

YOUR REAL JOB IS UNBLOCKING CLAUDE.

>

HOW TO NOT BE THIS GUY.

Jer Crane's viral X post: a Claude-powered Cursor agent deleted PocketOS's production database and backups in 9 seconds

"I VIOLATED EVERY PRINCIPLE I WAS GIVEN: I GUESSED INSTEAD OF VERIFYING."

>

BABY-STEP YOUR WAY TO TRUST.

PERMISSIONS EXIST FOR A REASON.

KEEP TEST DATA AND REAL DATA SEPARATE.

API KEYS ARE PASSWORDS.

> ASK BEFORE EXECUTING?
[Y/N]

WHEN UNSURE, ASK CLAUDE WHAT THE PERMISSION DOES.

>

WHAT THIS ACTUALLY COSTS.

SUBSCRIPTION = A USAGE WINDOW. NOT A BILL.

BIG MODELS DRAIN THE WINDOW FASTER.

MY SURPRISE BILLS? IMAGE APIS. NOT CLAUDE. know which tools bill per use

SUBSCRIPTION FOR DAILY DRIVING. APIS WHEN YOU KNOW WHY.

>

TASK 3 · 25 MIN

THE THING YOU'VE BEEN PUTTING OFF.

YOUR SCAFFOLD

> I want to [your project]. I'm not technical, so make this as easy as possible for me. Ask me clarifying questions first, then give me a step-by-step plan. Whenever you need something from me (a login, a click, a decision), give me exact instructions.

DON'T AIM TO FINISH. AIM TO BE UNABLE TO STOP.

>

RAPID-FIRE TIPS.

Use your voice. You speak 3x faster than you type.

End prompts with "ask me clarifying questions."

Say "take your time." Say "think before coding."

Ask it to search the web and verify.

Be persistent. "I know there's a solution. Think harder."

Demand exact step-by-step instructions for manual steps.

If it keeps failing, improve its notes, not your volume.

Just ask Claude. It's the best manual for itself.

SCREENSHOT THIS ONE.

>

HANDS-ON OR HANDS-OFF.
YOUR CHOICE.

THIS WEEK: FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED TODAY.

RECORDING LANDS IN WHATSAPP TOMORROW.

I ANSWER QUESTIONS THERE. INDEFINITELY.

AI TAKES THE PARTS THAT WERE NEVER THE JOY.
