HI, I'M PAW.

PRACTICALS.

This is recorded. Everyone gets a copy afterwards.
Take notes anyway. It sticks better when you write it down.
>

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.
>

ALMOST NOBODY IS ACTUALLY DOING THIS.

Everyone has tried AI. Almost nobody puts in the 20 hours it takes to get properly good at it.

Graph showing that real AI adoption is still a small minority

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.
>

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?

A way of talking to Claude directly on your own computer.
Instead of going to claude.com or chatgpt.com, Claude works right where your files are.
Don't worry: there's a friendly app. The hacker terminal is optional.

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.

>

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
>

QUESTIONS?

Anything unclear so far? Ask now.

CLAUDE HAS
GROUNDHOG DAY MEMORY.

Every session, it wakes up fresh. So 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.
>

PICK THE RIGHT BRAIN.

SONNET fast. everyday driving.
OPUS strong. hard problems.
FABLE smartest. hungriest.

API, CLI, MCP... WTF?

CLI
Command Line Interface
Talk to a program by typing.
API
Application Programming Interface
Programs talking to programs.
MCP
Model Context Protocol
A plug that gives Claude hands.

TASK 2 · 30 MIN

GIVE CLAUDE YOUR INBOX AND CALENDAR.

PICK A MISSION · DRAFTS ONLY, NOTHING GETS SENT TODAY

> 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.

ONE-OFF OR REPEATABLE?

ONE-OFF
Just talk. This deck happened by telling Claude: interview me, get everything out of my head.
REPEATABLE
"Claude, make what we just did repeatable." Now it's a skill anyone can run.
>

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.
>

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."
>

HOW TO NOT BE THIS GUY.

"I violated every principle I was given: I guessed instead of verifying."

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

BABY-STEP YOUR WAY TO TRUST.

PERMISSIONS EXIST FOR A REASON.
KEEP TEST DATA AND REAL DATA SEPARATE.
API KEYS ARE PASSWORDS.

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

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.

>

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.
Ask for HTML: slides, reports, small tools. This deck is one HTML file.
Just ask Claude. It's the best manual for itself.
>

HANDS-ON OR HANDS-OFF.
YOUR CHOICE.

AI takes the parts that were never the joy.

THIS WEEK: FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED TODAY.
YOU GET THE RECORDING TOMORROW.
AND YOU CAN ALWAYS ASK ME QUESTIONS.
