claude Is Running Our Businesses (and We're Not Exaggerating)

Monica Froese [00:00:00]:
Welcome to another episode of the Empowered Business Podcast. I want to tell you something that happened when I first started using Claude. Seriously, I had been all in on ChatGPT. I had told myself I was going to pick one tool, learn it deeply, and not get distracted. And for a while that worked. But then I started noticing that what I was doing in ChatGPT was basically just chatting. I wasn’t automating anything. I wasn’t creating anything that hadn’t been created before.

Monica Froese [00:00:28]:
I was just having very organized conversations. And then I moved to Claude and everything changed. That’s what this episode is about. I sat down with my peer mastermind, a group we call the Weird Hermits, to talk honestly about how we’re actually using Claude right now in our businesses. What we are literally doing every single day, from automated morning briefings to blog posts written while watching tv, from the couch, to landing pages that update themselves without anyone logging in, it’s a real conversation and I think it’s going to give you a lot of ideas. Speaking of which, if you want to take everything you hear in this episode and actually implement it inside a community of people doing the same work, two things for you. First, join the Empowered AI Collective on School. It’s free and it’s where I show up to talk through all of this.

Monica Froese [00:01:15]:
Second, AI that sells kicks off Monday, April 20th. It’s a free live event with 50 plus contributors bringing done for you AI tools you can install in your business immediately. The all Access pass is $29 right now and goes up to $49 when we kick off. Both links are in the show notes. Now let’s get into today’s episode. Welcome, everyone. We are here for a roundtable with a peer mastermind that we call ourselves the Weird Hermits. If you’ve been in any of our worlds for a while, you’ve probably heard some of these roundtables.

Monica Froese [00:01:47]:
And today we want to do a roundtable based on using Claude. Claude has been all the rage in the online space around AI, and so all of us pretty much are new to it, I believe, and diving in and learning so much. And so that’s what this roundtable is going to be about. I’m going to have everyone introduce themselves and then we’re going to kick it off and talk about all the fun things we’re doing in Claude. So I will call on Destiny first to introduce yourself.

Dr. Destiny Kopp [00:02:14]:
Oh, well, super excited to be here. And Monica, thanks for pulling all of this together. My name is Dr. Destiny Kopp, and I have two brands that I run Hobby School and the Creators MBA where I help digital product entrepreneurs grow their business with the Creator Growth flywheel. And I’m super excited about the conversation today.

Monica Froese [00:02:35]:
Me too.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:02:36]:
Kate hey, I’m Kate Kortmeier. I’m the founder of Success with Soul and we help coaches course creators, digital product sellers build high maintenance, high maintenance. Oh my gosh, it’s been a week you guys. High profit, low maintenance. There we go. Big difference. High profit, low maintenance, businesses without social media.

Liz Stapleton [00:03:02]:
Liz hi everyone, I’m Liz Stupson. I also have a couple of brands so over to Elizabethson.com I help online business owners understand the legal side of things which AI and the law is getting real fun. It’s the Wild west. And then over at Creator Ops Hub I help creators and online business owners streamline with workflows and systems that definitely involve AI.

Ruth Poundwhite [00:03:24]:
Love it.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:03:24]:
Jody

Liz Stapleton [00:03:28]:
oh you’re muted.

Jodi Bourne [00:03:29]:
Jodi I’m muted which is rare for me. I’m Jodi Bore and I also have multiple brands. I just started a new brand Jody. It’s called Born Strategic AI and it is for female entrepreneurs to help them use AI and be seen get more visibility through SEO and AI search strategies. And then I also own Born Creative STR Solutions which helps women who own short term rentals build a short term rental business.

Monica Froese [00:04:02]:
Love that. I love the new direction with SEO with AI.

Steph Blake [00:04:07]:
Stephen 1 I am Steph Blake. I am an automation expert and business strategist. I also have multiple brands. The first is doing exactly what I do, helping small business owners simplify and automate their businesses and the second is focused on helping you reconnect with your creativity and using that as a way to really get in touch with yourself. So we run monthly events for that as well.

Monica Froese [00:04:31]:
Love it.

Ruth Poundwhite [00:04:32]:
Ruth hi everyone, I am Ruth Poundwhite and I support business owners, especially neurodivergent, introverted, low capacity business owners to sell more with less effort and definitely using AI is a huge part of that.

Monica Froese [00:04:52]:
Love that. My name is Monica Froze and going along with the trend, I have two brands as well. So I have empowered business where I help people create high converting digital products with the help of AI. And then I have a B2C brand which is redefining mom, which is kind of evolving now into well the hope is to a community to help moms leverage AI in their daily lives. So we are all pretty much very much involved in using AI in our businesses and I think I want to start the conversation with the bridge between chatgpt and Claude at least I know for me, I started, I was basically only using ChatGPT. I had decided when I got into AI that I really needed to double down on one tool to understand it, otherwise I was going to be too squirrel like we always are in this entrepreneurial world. And I really had no idea that I was just using it like a chat. I was not doing anything dentic.

Monica Froese [00:05:45]:
It wasn’t really doing anything for me. And I didn’t realize that until I moved to Claude. So that was kind of like my evolution. I did not pick up Claude until March when it kind of became all the rage with the Pentagon story and all that. So I kind of want to get a feel for what everyone else was doing before they discovered Claude. What were they using? Were they using chat? What made them get on the cloud bandwidth bandwagon?

Liz Stapleton [00:06:11]:
I’ll. I’ll speak up. So I was slower to Claude in part because you guys were all doing Claude and discovered Cowork very quickly.

Monica Froese [00:06:21]:
And I could not get Cowork to

Liz Stapleton [00:06:22]:
work on my computer. It was like a thing with like various updated version that I was on. It was the whole thing. It took a while and so I was like super jealous and was like, I don’t even, I’m annoyed. But then I started just being able in the chat to help build out pages was so much faster, I will say because I’m cheap and I’m on the 20 month plan. I do still use ChatGPT, so I’m very strategic in how I use Claude because the usage just like can be very quick if you’re not careful. And so I love using it in terms of like it’s better for any kind of copy you need to create. And so I sort of leave more technical things that either Claude or Codex could do, which is chatgpt to Codex because I’m not as worried about the limits there, but like all the kind of more creative side of things.

Liz Stapleton [00:07:07]:
I definitely lean into cloud for. And I love using it for creating pages. It just helped me create a, a kit cleanup manager so I can clean up my kit account because I’ve got 450 tags in there. I can share that with our call later guys. But yeah, so it was kind of like seeing all these cool things you guys were doing and then trying to see what I could do without co kind of got me into that and started experimenting.

Monica Froese [00:07:29]:
I like the how you pointed out that Claude is where you can be creative and I would agree with that. That’s. It’s really brought out a creative side that I’VE not been able to do anyone else. Kind of had that transition from chat to Claude.

Liz Stapleton [00:07:43]:
I mean, I’ll.

Dr. Destiny Kopp [00:07:43]:
I’ll jump in here and just kind of talk about my experience. So I actually started with Claude. You’re, you know, whenever we started, way back then, because I, I liked it. I thought it was better for copywriting. And then, you know, I just, I went back. I, you know, really started using ChatGPT mostly because we were really digging into those custom GPTs and selling them and using those in our business. So that was a huge advantage. So I kind of forgot about Claude, and then I stumbled upon it kind of when all the rage was coming up.

Dr. Destiny Kopp [00:08:16]:
But I had this issue that ChatGPT couldn’t help me with, and I was working with a client, doing an audit for her, and it was all about copying and positioning and what we were doing for her membership. So I was like, you know what? I’m going to go to Claude and see if I can, you know, see if it can help you with this, because it’s supposed to be better with

Steph Blake [00:08:36]:
copy and all that.

Dr. Destiny Kopp [00:08:37]:
And that’s kind of when I had my aha moment. Because when I was working with Claude on that client issue, it, you know, I was telling it, here’s the issue, here’s what I want to kind of

Monica Froese [00:08:49]:
help her work through.

Dr. Destiny Kopp [00:08:51]:
It gave me two complete sales pages with both, with different positioning that we could, you know, look at and review. And I looked at it, and I was able to publish that artifact for her and show it to her. And then I, when I went back to it, I’m like, oh, my goodness. It gave these sales pages to me in HTML and it like, built out the whole thing.

Liz Stapleton [00:09:15]:
It hadn’t.

Dr. Destiny Kopp [00:09:16]:
I had never seen that before. So I kind of like stumbled upon that, and I knew immediately that was a game changer.

Monica Froese [00:09:24]:
I agreed. So I think the biggest thing that I discovered, so I get asked a lot about the custom GPTs and how they translate over to Claude, so I do want to talk about that. But I think custom GPTs are the first thing that most of us did find. And essentially, it’s like, you can put frameworks, you can put your ip, you can put guardrails, and have the chat act a certain way based on these instructions you’re giving, which felt really powerful. And it was a really great way to help our students and people in our programs and even, like, internal processes.

Ruth Poundwhite [00:09:58]:
And then.

Monica Froese [00:09:59]:
But it kind of stopped there. You know, it. It kept you on a guardrail, but it didn’t do Anything for you. And it seemed the connection point happened with Claude that it would take it a step further and actually create something out of your output. Is that how everyone’s seeing that?

Kate Kordsmeier [00:10:14]:
Yeah, I feel like the, and we’ve talked about this before, Monica, but like the agentic abilities and we’ve been hearing about this for years with ChatGPT and I could never even get it to like connect to my email or something really basic. I was always like, I don’t understand, I’m very techy. I could not figure this out. And then, yeah, very similar to a

Monica Froese [00:10:38]:
lot of people here.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:10:38]:
I was using Claude just for coffee for basically the last few years. But everything else I was doing in ChatGPT, I don’t know why, I don’t know why I never went. I wonder if I, I think I was just like, so all in with ChatGPT that it was like, why bother? And then once I started hearing about Skills and then kind of seeing like Destiny said, oh my gosh, wait, it just created this HTML page for me. It just created this artifact, it created this very interactive tool that’s branded and beautiful, Even like creating the Google Doc in my brand and things like that that CHAT GPT was never able to do. I feel like that’s when it clicked for me and when I was like, the chatgpt, I’m all in on Claude.

Monica Froese [00:11:24]:
Can. Does someone want to take the stab at explaining to everyone what a skill is in Claude?

Steph Blake [00:11:30]:
Oh, sure, I will go because I’ve had like literally 50 of them created at this point. But I would say for me, it’s funny because my husband kept talking about

Monica Froese [00:11:41]:
Claude in January of this year.

Steph Blake [00:11:42]:
So it’s about five months ago, four months ago, I was like, I don’t care about Claude. Like, I had my whole life in ChatGPT. I’m not switching over. Like, I don’t want to even take the time to learn how to do it. And then at our in person event last month, I didn’t even have Claude on my computer and everybody was like, you have to sign up for Claude. And I, you guys can all attest to this. Like, I didn’t know what I was doing with it. And then like a day later, I became obsessed.

Steph Blake [00:12:05]:
And it was like everybody was saying, the first thing that I realized was it could do so many more powerful things, like creating the pages, like Destiny said. But it’s not just that it can connect to other services much more easily than ChatGPT did. So I was connecting to other things with ChatGPT. But you had to use like Zapier and like Playground. It was just like this whole mess. Like it was just too much work. And cloud makes it so easy. Like I have it connected to my airtable, my ClickUp, I have different things through Cloudflare and it’s like all piecing together.

Steph Blake [00:12:39]:
My Canva creates graphics in Canva, that’s the biggest thing. And Google Drive, like everything, it literally connects everything. So it’s not just like giving you an output, it’s actually doing the work for you, whether you’re in cowork, whether you’re in chat. And then that’s where the skills come in, right? So the skills are the way that I like to describe. These are like a super, super, super powerful custom GPT, right? So you pre fill it with information about whatever it is that you are creating.

Monica Froese [00:13:08]:
Right.

Steph Blake [00:13:08]:
So for example, I like one of my skills is around an email sequence, right? So for our events, I wanted to create a skill that would specifically focus on writing those emails to invite people to our event. So I went through the process of telling it what I wanted to look like, refining it, creating HTML emails out of it, and then having it input those emails into my airtable base for me. And then once I had that process figured out, then it would package it up into a skill. So unlike a custom GPT where you’re just kind of giving it instructions, this also does the work for you. So it’s yes, giving instructions to create the thing, but then it can output to an external resource if you want it to. So hopefully that explanation makes sense.

Ruth Poundwhite [00:13:52]:
I would add something to this for, because one of the great things about skills is you can just chat. Like you can just chat to Claude and you’ve had a conversation, you’ve been doing different things, you’re like, hey, can we just make a skill out of this, please? It’s just so easy. You don’t have to do a separate thing and go into a separate screen. And like creating a custom GPT is easy once you have done it, but this is even easier. And it is so easy to call on your skills whenever you want and to mix and match skills. I just love that for my brain, not even having to remember all the skills I’ve created because it will just know based on like words that I type in a chat that trigger it as well that side of it. For me, for someone like me who is like, I’m very like neurodivergent, out of sight, out of mind, I can’t hold all this stuff in my Head. I love the way that Claude just makes it super easy to create.

Ruth Poundwhite [00:14:44]:
To call on them is just brilliant.

Monica Froese [00:14:47]:
So basically a skill gets called into any conversation you’re having and we’re going to talk about the different types of ways to use Claude like cowork and code. But these skills lay account wide and I think the biggest thing about it is like a custom GPT couldn’t call itself into a conversation. Like you could be having a chat and you may have had a custom GPT that would have been really helpful in that chat you were having, but there was no connection point between them. It didn’t, it wasn’t intuitive enough to, to call in those instructions essentially. Whereas, like when I was prepping for this podcast episode, I wanted to get everyone here a prep doc and it knew I didn’t have to say call in my brand skill. And it just created this beautiful brand doc based on me basically only putting in everyone’s information. I’m like, we need to prep. This is what the roundtable is going to be about.

Monica Froese [00:15:35]:
And I had like a six page brand document with my logo and everything created in two minutes. Because the skill is in my account and just me saying I needed a prep doc. It knew to call that in, which is nothing like we could do in ChatGPT. So these are the three things I want to talk about. I want to touch on what we’re creating in Claude, the workflows that we’re using in Claude to make our business run more smoothly, and then I want to talk about the difference between chat, cowork and code. So let’s talk about some of the things first that we’re creating with Claude right now.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:16:11]:
Well, I’ll share one because I’m literally in the middle of creating it right now for this exact podcast that we’re doing. Monica said you guys can share a freebie. And so I was like, great, what freebie should I share? So first I went to Claude Chat and was and just said, this is what we’re talking about. What freebie should I share? Based on my offer suite and the lead magnets I already have. And it was like, well, there’s not a great option here, like super relevant to this, but here’s three options that you could, I could create for you that you could share. And one of them, and it knows everything about me and my business and like the kinds of things that would be relevant to me. And so it. One of the things that suggested was this interactive tool where somebody just writes in what like their bio is Basically and then it gives them 10 prompts to use in cloud based on where they’re at.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:17:05]:
In our kind of destiny. I both use these flywheel analogies that like we call ours a feminist flywheel or evergreen ecosystem which where you are in kind of the attract, nurture, convert phase, so to speak. And it’s going to give you prompts to build a social free plan based on your bio and where you are in the stage. And I just was like, great, I want to use this. The Neon Boho skill is like one of my skins that I have for creating branded things. It’s okay, cool, create this thing for me. It’s an interactive tool that I can publish online. People can just go to it, type it in, they get their prompts.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:17:43]:
Now it’s brand branded and how I want it. And now as I’m finishing it, I’m going to say, great, now I need an opt in page for this. So here’s the HTML code for my embed from Kartra. Build an opt in page for this and then it’s going to just build that for me. And so this whole thing is going to be done in like 15 minutes. And it didn’t exist 15 minutes ago,

Monica Froese [00:18:04]:
which is, I think about how long it used to take to put together a funnel in Optic and to the tripwire after it just that took a while, little alone, having the product ready that you’re having people opt into, which like I used to participate, I still do in a lot of bundles and summits and it would be an entire day prep just to get those funnels up and running for those events. And now I can just participate. It feels like an unlimited event because it’s so easy to get these pages up with Claude.

Liz Stapleton [00:18:36]:
Well, and I was in an event recently which was a little weird where she was like, I’m just going to link to wherever you want to host the video. And I was like, okay, again, little odd, don’t know that I’d participate again. But I was like, I want to put together a whole page for this. And so I went in to Claude and I was like, hey, here’s the transcript of my video. Here’s what the video URL is going to be like. I want them to go to my freebies. And it created this gorgeous page. It like had the name of the summit on it.

Liz Stapleton [00:19:03]:
It had my video and my calls to action. It had my like, hey, these are also mentioned links to my stuff without being like super pushy. And the host was like, oh my gosh, this Page is so beautiful. Thanks for taking the time. And I was like, yeah, I spent like 15 minutes on it and. But it was great. And I was like, this is. I’m not willing to spend more time on this, but this is actually going to do a lot more than if I manually just thrown it on a page for the video to be there.

Liz Stapleton [00:19:28]:
You know, I think it’s helping us

Kate Kordsmeier [00:19:30]:
do things not just faster, but better. And that, I feel like, is the biggest thing, because I’m not just interested in efficiency for efficiency sake. Like, I don’t need to just do more. It’s like, oh, my gosh. I can actually. Yeah. In the past, I would have just done the same, like, great. Here’s a plain landing page that has the video and maybe a button to my freebie and been like, cool.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:19:52]:
Done now in the same amount of time, maybe less. Like you said, we’ve built out. That’s a beautiful thing that actually is going to increase conversions and, like, position us more as experts and more as, like, people who know what they’re doing.

Steph Blake [00:20:06]:
So I feel like that’s huge for me and Monica.

Dr. Destiny Kopp [00:20:10]:
Oh, I’m sorry, did somebody.

Jodi Bourne [00:20:12]:
I was just going to say, for me, it’s about helping clients. Like, some of the workflows that I’ve created for. For clients, like, you know, I do blogging for clients. One of the things I’ve always done, SEO stuff, and that’s hard. That’s research into so many different things, learning their audience, learning just so many things about the brand. It’s. That’s. That’s why SEO is so expensive, you know, because there’s so much to do.

Jodi Bourne [00:20:38]:
And then when I started realizing these cloud work, how easy it was to set up the cloud workflow to do all that for me. And I mean, I have four clients in one month right now. That would have taken me a month to do. And honestly, I hope they don’t listen to this, but I am literally spending no time at all other than just setting up the system for it to run. I mean, uploading their keywords, doing a little bit of the research, and investing my time into the strategy. Obviously, I’ve done that for years and know what they need to do next. I understand their brand. That still has to be relevant.

Jodi Bourne [00:21:18]:
But once that work is done and once I build what I call. I call it their. Their brand bible. Once I build their bible, which includes all their keywords and everything that they need, then I just put it on autopilot and I have to kind of like float out the work to them so they don’t know that I just did it all in one day.

Monica Froese [00:21:35]:
AI is just enhancing your genius. Like, it’s still your genius. And you are, you have learned how to leverage AI to get to the end result of your genius faster, to help more people. And you shouldn’t, you shouldn’t not be rewarded for that, you know.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:21:50]:
Exactly.

Liz Stapleton [00:21:50]:
Yeah, I love that.

Jodi Bourne [00:21:52]:
I love that too. And so for me, it’s as much about helping me and, you know, all the things that I do daily, but also like being like the click of, damn, I can take on so much more work right now and make so much more.

Monica Froese [00:22:09]:
And it doesn’t devalue your work because it’s getting done faster. Because guess what? Everyone who’s embracing AI is getting their work done faster. That doesn’t mean we should get paid less for our genius.

Jodi Bourne [00:22:18]:
Right? It doesn’t devalue the work at all because it’s really the, I mean, the, the initial research and knowledge of the. That’s the most important part. Still.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:22:26]:
Agreed.

Dr. Destiny Kopp [00:22:28]:
And just kind of piggyback on that, talking about our genius. You know, I have so much that I want to like, publish. And I was like, you know, especially, you know, Jody did that workshop, you know, in, you know, for my folks yesterday about SEO and AO and all that. And I want to do a lot more publications on my website. And so what I did was set up a skill implied and I probably might even use cowork for some of this. I’m just not quite there yet. But I set up a skill in Claude where I basically just tell it. Here’s what the article I want it to be about, here’s the angle.

Dr. Destiny Kopp [00:23:05]:
Just giving it kind of my genius, if you would. And then from there it does everything. It just publishes an HTML blog, it does the, you know, the newsletter information, it will do my LinkedIn information, threads, Instagram, it will even go out to Canva create any images that I need and it will go and schedule everything for me in my social media scheduler. It is, it was just. And it does it all. I don’t even have to touch it. It’s amazing. The only thing I have to do is take those images and for anything that needs an image, schedule that manually.

Dr. Destiny Kopp [00:23:45]:
But all the content there.

Monica Froese [00:23:47]:
And we would all agree that that is just not possible to do with ChatGPT, correct?

Kate Kordsmeier [00:23:51]:
Correct.

Jodi Bourne [00:23:52]:
Not. If there is, then that person’s a lot smarter than I am.

Liz Stapleton [00:23:57]:
It’s. It’s definitely.

Jodi Bourne [00:23:58]:
I couldn’t figure it out.

Liz Stapleton [00:23:59]:
I think it’s definitely A lot more technical to try to attempt something about a ChatGPT. I think Codex is catching up to coworker. It’s attempting to. But still a much more technical platform than the Quant is far more user friendly.

Dr. Destiny Kopp [00:24:12]:
And this is what I just described to you. I didn’t even use Cowork for that is a Claude skill.

Jodi Bourne [00:24:19]:
One thing that’s true that I found with the Chatbot chatgpt issue is like with Claude, not only does it know what skill it needs to bring up, but it, I mean it does it automatically whereas which some someone said earlier. But also it will like if you have a skill embedded like that you bought or you’ve created, it will modify the skill to then work in a new way. And then, you know what I mean? Like with, with cl, with Chat GPT, if you were using somebody’s custom GPT or your own, that’s all it did. That was it.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:24:53]:
Yeah.

Jodi Bourne [00:24:53]:
Right then there was no next step. You had to, you, you had to tell it what a next step was. Whereas with Claude it’s like, oh well maybe we should do this now. Like it’s actually a thinking partner.

Dr. Destiny Kopp [00:25:04]:
It is.

Monica Froese [00:25:05]:
I also like even when you’re just using it for chat, like when you kick off a project, it asks you questions automatically. Chat really didn’t do that. I love the multiple choice because it actually helps me also understand where they. What it thinks I’m saying. And then I’m like that actually is not the project I was trying to kick off to begin with. And it just cuts out so much noise to get to the point of what I actually need. Stefan Ruth, do you have thing what are you creating in cloud right now?

Steph Blake [00:25:32]:
What am I not creating? Easier question. Like so many things I’ve spent my head or my head, I’ve spent the last week, head down creating an entire automated process for our events. And I’m not talking like I still have to go and like create a new sales page. I’m talking like dynamic pages that automatically update on their own thanks to Cloud. So like I create a page one time, the information is automatically updating on its own and that information.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:26:01]:
Wait, what?

Monica Froese [00:26:02]:
We would like to understand how that happens.

Steph Blake [00:26:04]:
Yeah, so basically I put information into airtangle that information. There’s a lot of technical stuff happening in the background so I’m not going to dive into it. But basically I have one page saves my sales page. Every single month it will pull data from airtable based on whatever’s happening that month and show it on that page. So I never have to create a new landing page Again, it is literally just running in the background for me.

Monica Froese [00:26:30]:
Is that connected via, like, are you pulling a scheduled task to kick it off?

Steph Blake [00:26:36]:
That’s why I said there’s a lot of things connected. So it’s like we have the page with the HTML, we have some things happening in Cloudflare, we have the airtable based, we have the scheduled tasks. So like everything is working in tandem. So now that Destiny steal this idea for your events too?

Dr. Destiny Kopp [00:26:51]:
Yeah, for sure.

Liz Stapleton [00:26:52]:
This is my idea for the next lovable thing I was going to create.

Steph Blake [00:26:55]:
Sorry, but no, like this. And when I say like, I sent a message to our group last week saying that like, my entire life and business has changed because of this. I’m not being dramatic when I say that because the one thing I think about cloud is it opens up so many more possibilities than I even ever thought of. Like, I started getting in thinking that cloud was basically the same as ChatGPT, like, oh, it’ll help me write my emails, right? And then I went down this huge rabbit hole of realizing, no, like it is actually running your business for you. And that is the piece that I think so many people don’t understand. Because, like, for example, this process that I’ve been setting up, I went from having probably 300 different individual ClickUp tasks for each of our events that we do every single month to seven. Those are the only manual tasks that we need now because this entire system, it’s like, sorry, I could talk about this for a long time. It’s.

Steph Blake [00:27:54]:
It’s so crazy.

Monica Froese [00:27:55]:
Well, that made me think about how I used to. So I’ve always operated in my business on a project plan. We use Asana. Like, everyone who’s ever worked with me knows I will be the bottleneck if I don’t put myself on a project plan. We had this kickoff call for one of my events and basically just talked out everything that had happened. I just fed it to Claude and it. Then I connect it to my asana, created an entire project and I am a project manager at heart and the project was better than anything I’ve put together in the 10 years of my business. I was like, excuse me, that took two minutes and a conversation that I had that I used to not even record, but now I record everything when I talk to people because it is invaluable.

Monica Froese [00:28:34]:
Everything I say on Zoom at this point can go out and do things for me. Then when I’m done speaking it into the universe, which is just wild. So I do. I want to start talking about workflows coupled with Cowork specifically. But, Ruth, I want to give you an opportunity to tell us what you’re doing with creating with Claude.

Ruth Poundwhite [00:28:51]:
Firstly, I’m just loving all of this stuff and none of us is doing all of these things, by the way, in case you’re like, my mind is blown and I’ve got ideas now from everything everyone’s been sharing. But what I’ve been working on this week, literally this week, is to do with how I’m helping my members implement what the work we are doing inside my membership. This is probably for a future part of this conversation or a different conversation. It’s bigger than what you’ve literally just asked me. But I have been turning custom GPT is into skills. I made a skill that does it for me. I’m in the membership answering questions. Cowork is role playing in the skill as if it’s a user.

Ruth Poundwhite [00:29:42]:
Actually, I don’t even know if I had to do it in Cowork. But yeah, it’s. It’s. The chat is doing it in the skill. I’m doing stuff in the membership. Claude’s doing stuff over here and I’m just like, this is the life. I’m just loving this right now. So I test it myself as well, of course, because I’m still, you know, the visionary in my business.

Ruth Poundwhite [00:30:01]:
I still know what I want my members to achieve and I know them best and stuff like this. But Claude is giving me a report of the flow and it’s. And it’s deliberately pushing the boundaries of the skills and stuff like this. I get it to test my custom GPTs as well. And I still use custom GBTS. And that’s the part of this conversation that maybe is a little bit of a tangent. But yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing this week and I’m just loving it, just loving it. And I love when we’ve been talking about skills and stuff and I.

Ruth Poundwhite [00:30:29]:
There are definite downsides to giving people the skill file because includes all. Like, they could just literally read all of it. They have the file and they have it forever. So giving it to people in a membership where they don’t have a lifetime access also poses some other questions and stuff like that. That’s one of the reasons I’m still using custom gbts. But the good thing about you can sell skills standalone, that’s something that I’ve been working on, turning some of my standalone custom dbts into skills. I’m going to sell them. And when users Install them.

Ruth Poundwhite [00:31:01]:
Then, like I think Jody was saying, like, you can. They can tweak them and mold them around their business. Like, when you’re having a chat with Claude, you can say, oh, update this skill to reflect this. This change we made to this process, or something like that. So that kind of gave me a light bulb moment, thinking, oh, wow, these selling skills versus custom GBT is actually very powerful for that reason. Anyway, I think I’m getting on a whole tangent about selling AI stuff, but that’s what I’ve been working on this week.

Monica Froese [00:31:30]:
I want to point out that I’m taking notes as we’re talking of all the. I’m getting so many ideas listening to all of you, which is fun. So there’s something called. There’s a Chrome extension for Claude and I actually one of the first times it kind of clicked for me was I needed an output from one of my custom GPTs, because that output that it was going to give me, I wanted to use that to then create an artifact and a skill. And instead of me having to go back and forth with the GPT, I hooked up the Claude Chrome extension, told it to communicate with my custom GPT to get to the final output. It did that in the background. Then I took the output and built the artifact over. Over in Claude.

Monica Froese [00:32:09]:
And I was like, so I have two bots talking to each other doing work. And it. That was kind of wild to me. That was one of the first things I did. Okay, so I want to talk about what Claude Chat is versus cowork versus code. I think there’s only, like, maybe two of us that use code on here, because that’s like the more technical version. And it might be Liz and Steph is my guess, if I had to. But if anyone uses code, I will take the first stab at explaining chat versus Cowork.

Monica Froese [00:32:40]:
Someone else can take code. And then let’s talk about how we can use Cowork for our workflows to actually agentically go out and do things for us. So my. I’ll take the first stab in chat. Chat can do things for you, similar to Cowork, but Cowork has access to your computer and so it can actually do stuff without you. So that’s where the agentic thing comes in. There’s something called dispatch. And even from your phone, you.

Monica Froese [00:33:05]:
I could be out the grocery store and be like, oh, I forgot to update that spreadsheet. And if your computer’s turned on and connected to Cowork, you can prompt on your phone to say, I need the spreadsheet. Update it from my 2pm meeting. This is the tab I need. Update it. It can go and pull like your A report from let’s say Airtable. It could pull it from QuickBooks and it can bring it all together and do that work when you’re not sitting there. So it’s truly like functioning without you.

Monica Froese [00:33:26]:
Whereas chat can do stuff, but you’re still in the chat with it. That’s how I would describe it. If someone wants to take a stab at poking holes and then adding on code, I would appreciate it.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:33:37]:
I’d just add one other thing to that. I would say I actually use chat still the most of anything in Claude, but I use Cowork for scheduled tasks the most. And so yeah, there’s some like, I mean, I say it’s basic, it’s actually amazing, but like some basic stuff. Stuff where you can like it controls your computer so you can have it clean up your desktop and reorganize your files and rename a thousand photos and you know, whatever you need it to do. And that’s cool, but I don’t feel like that’s like an ongoing need that a lot of us are like, oh, if I could just do this, I’d be making so much more money. So where I feel like I use Cowork the most is creating scheduled tasks. And I will have scheduled tasks to post to my school community, for example, to every Wednesday I write my Sunday newsletter. And so now I have created a skill and I have a scheduled task.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:34:39]:
The skill knows how the newsletter is put together and how I write in my brand voice and what to include. The skill also knows it has to ask me questions before it can write the newsletter because there is still human input that’s needed. And so every Wednesday at 8am it’s going to run this task, it’s going to start putting together the newsletter, it’s going to ping me to say, hey, I need your input on these things so I can finish the newsletter. I tell it. Oh yeah, okay, this is what I need to include in these sections. This is, you know, the book I’m reading this week, whatever. And then it will complete the newsletter in HTML. And then now I’m about to migrate, but depending on what email service provider you’re using, you can even have it upload that HTML directly into your email builder so you don’t have to even manually do the copy paste, which is, you know, in itself only like a 30 second task anyway, but it can do that piece for you.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:35:40]:
So by me just answering a few quick questions. Now, every Wednesday, my newsletter is completely populated in my email service provider, scheduled to send. And so that’s more how I’m using Cowork. And I have a lot of other scheduled tasks. Some of my favorites are just like my morning briefing and it’s just checking my calendar, my inbox, my ClickUp. It’s going through all of my stuff and just telling me like, hey, here’s what’s going on today. Here’s what needs your attention. Helping me get my to do list organized.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:36:10]:
I can come brain down. And so some of the things are just like that. But I would say mostly I’m still just using Quad chat for. For most things.

Monica Froese [00:36:18]:
So cloud chat requires us to kick the task off. Like, even though it can go and do things in the cloud. Right. Not on our actual hard drives, but it can in the cloud, you still need to kick it off. Whereas these scheduled tasks can kick off without you being present. Right, Cool.

Steph Blake [00:36:35]:
Yeah.

Ruth Poundwhite [00:36:36]:
And also like the way code works because it can work on your computer or in Chrome, it can do things on certain websites or look at things on certain websites, even if there’s not a connector available for that thing, if that makes sense.

Monica Froese [00:36:51]:
It pulled down a hundred product listings from my Shopify store. They don’t have a direct Shopify connector. And I couldn’t get cloud chat to do it. So sometimes you just have to experiment, like between the difference. So I was trying to get it to do it in cloud chat and it was like, oh, there’s no connector, I can’t do it. I went to Cowork and I don’t. I honestly have no idea what it did. But I turned my back, came back and I had an airtable full of all of my Shopify products.

Monica Froese [00:37:14]:
The links, the URLs, they tagged them. I was like, it just took over Chrome. All they said is sure. And then it. And it was within minutes. It was wild. And I have no idea how it did it, but it did it.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:37:26]:
Amazing.

Monica Froese [00:37:28]:
Who wants to take on code? The differences between cowork and code.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:37:32]:
I’ll say I haven’t even touched code yet and I’m still blown away by what Claude can do. So there’s that.

Liz Stapleton [00:37:40]:
So I. I’ve not done. I’ve just messed with cloud code a little bit. I kind of had messed with Codex more, but cloud code, like I said, I. So I initially tried doing it as like an artifact to do my like kit cleanup manager. So you guys all know I rebranded last year. I’ve been in kit for well over 10 years. I’ve got 400 plus tags, I’ve got like 40 something custom fields, half of which I don’t even been used.

Liz Stapleton [00:38:06]:
Like just random that I just need to clean out. I need to rename, I need to like just do this stuff. And yeah, you could do that in kit but I think we all know you go, you click, you rename, you have to have it load all the it. It’s a process. And so I looked at the API and I was like I could connect this to airtable because I know how to do. I can write a script, I can have it pull in everything and then work it up. I was like that’s still kind of tedious. So I went into, after trying to do an artifact and it not working because of the sandbox environment and again this getting technical, I went into code and I was like, hey, make this easy so it works so it’ll show me all of my custom fields, all of my tags, all of my segments.

Liz Stapleton [00:38:47]:
And then because the API lets me update tags and custom fields, hey, this is what I’m trying. This is like the cleanup I’m trying to do. And so it created this, I double clicked, I put in my Kit API key and now I’ve got this page that has 452 tags and it’s then gone. Here’s the current name, here’s the like potential brand we think based on what your current name is because not I’m not always great about using my naming conventions. And then it’s like action. Do you want to delete, review, rename, you know, keep as is and then what’s the proposed name? And it’s like for all the ones that were BBS it proposed, it’s you know, coh which is the new brand acronym and I can just go in and review all of them in one place and then push all the changes and just created this page to do that.

Monica Froese [00:39:33]:
So why did you need code like to connect it for people who are not familiar like to.

Liz Stapleton [00:39:40]:
So it created basically I double clicked it and it’s opening up basically a web page for me. It’s HTML file and so code let it connect to the Kit API and actually work because if you do it as an artifact it’s working in a sandbox environment. And so the Kit API won’t actually connect and work so it wouldn’t actually pull in my tact and stuff. And so I, I just took the whole conversation where I was trying to do an artifact and it was like, well, we could run it in Terminal and we could do. I was like, this is too technical. My brain is too tired. I’ve had too many things fail this week. I need an easier way to do this.

Liz Stapleton [00:40:12]:
And so I just literally took every, like, copied the whole chat, moved over to code. It was like, hey, can this be easier? And I was like, yeah, we can just publish it as a page and then off you go.

Monica Froese [00:40:24]:
Could you have done this in Cowork or did it have to be code?

Liz Stapleton [00:40:27]:
I. I think it had to be code, but it’s what I was trying to do. I feel like in Cowork it would have been a lot more back and it would have required a lot more back and forth. It would require a much higher usage rate, which, as you all know, I’m on the low plan right now because I’m very much foundational. Pivot stuff. When I start, start, finish. When I finish that up and my income starts going up, maybe I’ll go to that 100 plan. But right now I’m like, we’re not there yet.

Liz Stapleton [00:40:51]:
So. Yeah, and it just made it. I mean, it’s just, it’s just easy to do it right for me to fix stuff. It’s kind of like how I used, you know, and I’ve used ChatGPT for a long time to help me generate scripts and I think Claude can do

Ruth Poundwhite [00:41:06]:
it just as well.

Liz Stapleton [00:41:06]:
Claude actually very much helped me when I was moving my a lovable project from Lovables cloud to my own suitabase hosted thing. And it like talked me through the, like, what I need to enter in Terminal, make it work and stuff because I’m. I’m not as technical, I’m not super technical, but I was like, I know what terminal is. If you tell me what to copy paste, I can do that.

Monica Froese [00:41:27]:
I didn’t know what terminal was until Cowork one day said, open terminal on your computer, put in this code and it’s going to do the thing that I’m trying to do. And I was like, what is terminal? I didn’t even know there was something on my Mac call terminal.

Liz Stapleton [00:41:38]:
Yeah, yeah, so. So, like, it’s very helpful. But I think in terms of just. I was like, I just need it for like this one thing. I’m not looking. I was like, maybe I will be like, hey, give me this like code and I’ll sell it for people to do their kit update, but for me, for what I just wanted, I just need a single page. It was just easy to do. And Like I could have airtable pull it all in and then I could update it and then I could have a script automation that push it.

Liz Stapleton [00:41:59]:
But it just, that was like still tedious. Whereas this is just there.

Monica Froese [00:42:03]:
So I think for like the ordinary online business person or content creator that’s listening to this, our sweet spot is going to be in Cowork because code seems a little bit. And I think they’re going to make. I’ve been listening to different podcasts where I think they’re ultimately trying to make code more like user friendly outwardly for people. But that’s really where like Cowork kind of bridge the gap between just having this task based chat to let’s go out and do stuff. So like in terms of coworkers, what, what other things are we doing to run our businesses with Cowork,

Liz Stapleton [00:42:37]:
I mean Kate’s like morning report. I think we all. I love that for especially going to check my customer support to gab because I hate having a. It’s like I always dread it because I was like what if there’s like a fire? You know, just to take the time to have to go every morning and check it. And it’s like I don’t even have to go do that. It’s just going to show up. It’s just it, it gets rid of the dread. It makes it so it’s just there with all the other top things I need to look at.

Liz Stapleton [00:43:01]:
It’s just it helps mindset wise and time wise.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:43:05]:
I think that’s like one of it. The scheduled tasks and coworks create cowork Creating reports and things for me has been one of the most useful use cases I found. Whether it’s a morning report, I have an end of day like wind down report. I also have things like every month it’s going into my Google search console and looking at my traffic and where things are coming from. And I see Monica being like, yep, adding that to my list and then it’s giving me a report. I have a weekly like I call. It’s called like competitor intel but I really don’t believe in competition and it’s much more so just like what are other people in my industry doing and what are kind of like the news stories I need to know about both from. Like, I want to know what are other coaches and course creators selling right now? Like just to have more of a pulse on like is everybody selling the same stuff?

Liz Stapleton [00:43:56]:
Stuff?

Kate Kordsmeier [00:43:56]:
Are they selling custom GPTs? Are we moving into Claude Scales? I want to know like the YouTube creators I follow. What are they posting about? Like, what are the. What are the episodes? What do you call a YouTube video? Like, what are the videos that I should add to my list of, like, you know, I want to go watch this. And I follow a lot of, like, meta ads marketers on YouTube. And so I will. It will tell me, like, this is what’s happening with Meta right now and Andromeda’s latest update and this and that. And so, like, I think just kind of doing like, the research and triage for me of all these things that were just more time consuming before would take me opening up 25 tabs to figure out all of this. And now it’s just kind of like consolidated into these reports for me every month.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:44:45]:
And then it can create tasks for me. Whether it’s like, create a task for me and ClickUp to now go do this thing based on this idea or. Or go do this thing for me. Like, oh, great post about this in school. That’s a perfect post for my school community. And then it can just go do that for me. So, yeah, I think kind of those reports are the best way I’ve found so far to use Cowork.

Jodi Bourne [00:45:09]:
I like that. What I like about Cowork is the dispatch a lot because. So, example, yesterday, watching tv, sitting on my couch, my. My laptop. I’ve made a new rule. My laptop stays in my office unless it’s emergency, or else I will be on clawed all night long while watching tv, trying to cook dinner, trying to have a conversation with my husband. And Claude and me are on the laptop. So new rule for Jody’s house.

Jodi Bourne [00:45:34]:
Laptop stays in the office most of the time. But dispatch is right on my phone. So sitting there, watching tv, watching the Madison. If y’ all haven’t watched it, go watch Madison. Anyway, so. And I had this idea for a blog post.

Monica Froese [00:45:49]:
So.

Jodi Bourne [00:45:50]:
So dispatch to my computer, tell the. I give it the idea. And then this morning when I got up, my blog post was written in notion and had been assigned to Hannah, my assistant, to add to my blog. And all it was was me talking through the content of the blog, like, what I wanted to say, what it was gonna be about. It was a. It’s an angry post. Like a. You know, like, I’m against this and here’s why I post.

Jodi Bourne [00:46:16]:
And I talked my way through it and took like 30 seconds. Send it to through dispatch and I have a blog post and it’ll be my. Now I could have had it uploaded to WordPress. I’m still. I’m still a control freak about that. I’m still like and I think this week is the week I’m going to try to have it do it myself. But I’m so scared it’s going to ruin my website.

Monica Froese [00:46:38]:
But yeah, go ahead.

Ruth Poundwhite [00:46:41]:
Yeah, I love all of your examples and I wanted to add something about like cognitive load. I’m trying to lean into sharing examples that seem really basic as well because I know that sometimes the most basic idea like you just don’t think of doing it and then when you realize you can do it, it’s really helpful. So I’m going to share something basic but for me using and again sometimes it’s chat but the specific use cases in cowork that I use for the kind of cognitive load. One example is I’m really bad with using stats and, and interpreting, debriefing, all of this. So I just opened all the tabs on Chrome of all the stats that I had for my summit and I’m like co work please can you go and collect all of these and put them all in one place and write a report on it? That’s something that would be very overwhelming for me. Another thing is I have a membership where I have a Google calendar so that people can follow it and I also have a school calendar. There’s probably a more a better way to link the two but I have co work go and make sure that there’s no discrepancies between the two. It’s a very basic thing but that was something that was a real problem for me.

Ruth Poundwhite [00:47:47]:
I kept getting it wrong. Again, I’m sure there’s another level of automation there that I haven’t yet implemented but these little basic ways of using it that save you stress are still very, very important. One thing that has been really helpful for me is like I’ve just been through a period where I, I know this is, this is unlike me, but I’ve been struggling to write emails to my list. Usually that’s the thing I always keep up. But I was like, you know what, let me take this to Claude and see what Claude has to say about it. And I went through the whole process and, and just asked it like what, what are the, what’s the holes in my kind of processes that is getting me into this state now where I haven’t sent an email for ages. Again, that’s not necessarily co work specific but it will help you if you chat with it and figure out the holes in your processes or the things where you get stuck and overwh The Overwhelm piece is huge for me. Like, I can’t say enough about, like, how helpful it is to use AI because I’m capable, I’m a capable human.

Ruth Poundwhite [00:48:47]:
There’s a lot of stuff that I could figure out myself. Am I overwhelmed a lot of the time? Yes. Do really small things sometimes seem absolutely huge to me? Yes, all the time. So using AI for that side of things, really, really helpful. So helpful.

Monica Froese [00:49:04]:
Okay, I just had a genius idea of how to wrap this up. So I, I think several of us are going to be publishing this on our podcast. It will definitely be published on mine, which is the Empowered Business podcast where I do provide the transcript. So this is how I think we should wrap it up. You can grab the transcript and each of us are going to go around and give an idea of something that you can ask cowork or Claude Chat to help you with. And so you can take the transcript, feed it into your own Claude and say, can you help me do all these ideas? Can you help me figure out how these, how what they’re doing in their businesses would fit into mine based on this transcript? And I guarantee you’re going to be mind blown probably with what Claude can come back with. And since I just dropped this on everyone, I’m going to go first with my idea. So let’s give our idea and also how everyone can find us on the Internet.

Monica Froese [00:49:53]:
Like our freebies that we’re giving away. They’ll be in the show notes for whoever’s publishing it. So I’ll go first. What I did piggybacking on my idea of how I had Cowork go out and pull down all my shop listings from the Empowered shop. I also had it go to my course site. I have, I have things all over the place. So I basically got this aggregate airtable base of all of my products with the URLs. I then have a scheduled task that goes out.

Monica Froese [00:50:19]:
It scans my AI newsletters in my inbox, it scans the daily news and it benchmarks against all of my products, different AI angles I could take for promotion. So if something’s blowing up in the AI world and I have a training or a workshop on it, it gives me an angle for promotion, for a flash sale. And I then took it a step further and now it will build a spotlight that I can put in my daily email to promote whatever is relevant to what’s going on in the AI space. And if you want to find me, this is Monica talking. You can find me. I am directing everyone to my Free School Community, which is the Empowered AI Collective which we will link to in the show notes. Who wants to go next?

Kate Kordsmeier [00:51:03]:
I’ll just, I’ll go. This is Kate. I’m not going to add something new because I do feel like the morning briefing is one of the best things you can do for your business and just set thing it up to connect to your Gmail. If you have a project management software notion ClickUp asana I’m sure they all have connectors. Look at your calendar. You know I am a cyclical living gal so I also like have it updated on like where I am in my menstrual cycle and what’s happening with the cosmos and I like so it’ll tell me, you know we’re heading into a full moon. You might want to you know do focus on these sorts of things so you can customize it to whatever the things are that you care about and all, all you really have to do is go into Claude Cowork say I want to create a morning briefing. Here’s some ideas from this transcript that I’m pulling from this podcast.

Kate Kordsmeier [00:51:58]:
What are some things that I could include in mind? Suggest it build this skill for me. Schedule it to run every every morning at 7am or whatever time works for you. I have my freebie in here which is going to be up very soon. I had to stop in the middle of my 15 minute session here to come on this this episode. But it’s it is that how to build your social media free business and it’s a Claude tool. It’s an artifact that you can use where you can just put in a two sentence description of what you do and it’ll give you different 10 different ideas of how you can use Claude in a social free way to grow your business depending on where you are kind of in that flywheel process. So that’s the freebie for everybody.

Monica Froese [00:52:44]:
Love it. Who wants to go next?

Liz Stapleton [00:52:47]:
I’ll.

Dr. Destiny Kopp [00:52:48]:
I’ll jump in. This is destiny here and I think that my kind of challenge would be or what’s been the biggest game changer for me is automation of my newsletters. All of my newsletters with Claude and Claude Cowork and it’s kind of timely because I am covering this next week too in the newsletter Profit club where we’re doing our AI automations live. But go to Claude, figure out you know, use cowork, figure out just automate one of your newsletters. I think it’ll make a huge, huge difference for you there. And my free gift is my Creator scorecard where you can go in and assess where you want to or where you should focus in kind of upload up, leveling your business with the creator’s growth flywheel. And that [email protected]

Monica Froese [00:53:40]:
Liz, what about you?

Liz Stapleton [00:53:42]:
So I’m gonna start with my freebie because my 10 minute time waster audit, which helps you kind of just nap out all the things you’re doing, which I think is a great Then take that map, throw it in a cloud and be like, help me figure out what I can automate. Right? Like help me where can I what are things I don’t need to do? I think that’s a great way to kind of start getting your wheels turning of what you can hand off and what you don’t need to be as focused on anymore. And then you know, when in doubt, if there’s something you hate doing, ask if there’s a way you can automate it especially and like just go from there.

Monica Froese [00:54:16]:
So, and what is your free gift?

Liz Stapleton [00:54:20]:
Oh, it’s my 10 minute time waster audit that I started. The thing with was use that.

Monica Froese [00:54:25]:
Love it, Jody.

Jodi Bourne [00:54:28]:
Okay, I’ll start with my free gift too. So that I just created and it’s not quite ready yet but it’s going to be awesome because I’m testing it. But basically it’s a visibility audit, a visibility scorecard. So you go through and answer questions about your content on your website, your authority, everything and it will kind of give you a priority list. And I’m probably going to do like a four day email series afterwards and that [email protected] so it’ll just be on the homepage there. And what I think you should do every day or some a skill that you should try. Let’s see. Honestly, for me, because I’m an ideas person, I get tons and tons and tons of ideas every day while I’m just going about my regular day that I need to keep or like I’ve always struggled keeping them organized and where do these ideas live and what do they do? So I created a skill that I think is useful where I can dispatch through, send it through dispatch if I want to and just say, you know, keep these skills organized.

Jodi Bourne [00:55:26]:
But it all keep this organized for me. But then it tells me like kind of what to get rid of. Like that’s not a good idea for you or you know, you’re. Because I’m always wanting to try all these new things. So it, it knows my capabilities and it just Says, you know, Chip, hold on, you don’t need to do that. You’ve got this going on. Remember you’ve already promised this and that. And so I like that.

Jodi Bourne [00:55:52]:
And then it’ll hold it, it’ll put it in a notion for me in a notion database just for later. But it, and it prioritizes, you know, what to do. So I think that’s a kind of a useful thing for people that are idea people love that.

Monica Froese [00:56:05]:
Steph.

Steph Blake [00:56:07]:
Yeah. So my suggestion would be I have a couple but one that I would recommend everybody do, especially if you have skills. Create a weekly schedule task that will review those skills and find out if there are any updates that need to be made. So you can prompted to say look through all of my recent chats. If we made any updates since this skill has been created, update it for me so it’ll flag all of those. Because I do that a lot where I just kind of get excited. I go in, I, for example, if I’m updating a page right now, I forget to update that skill with the update that I made in that chat. So this will can go through that and automatically do it for you.

Steph Blake [00:56:49]:
So I would say if I could pick one and that would probably be my number one that I would recommend. And my free resource simply started talking. I also changed it. So it is going to be, I don’t know the name of it yet. I’m literally creating it after we get off of this and that the next 20 minutes. But it’ll be focused on stealing the exact workflows that I use in Claude. Cause I’m all about automation. So I’m going to give you literally those things and you can just kind of swipe them as well.

Monica Froese [00:57:16]:
She’s like the queen of automation. So I, I will, I want the free gift as well. So thank you for creating that for us.

Ruth Poundwhite [00:57:23]:
And I just want to say we’re all so funny how we’re all like, oh, it’s in development and I’m going to say the same thing. But I’m also going to sign up for all these. Oh, these freebies are so good. So like what’s very much on my mind this week is using Claude to test my own creations. I think that this is really helpful both from a practical standpoint and like how well you are helping people with the things you create. So by creation I literally mean like the stuff I already talked about. Custom gbts, skills I’m going to sell. But also, you know, it could be resources that you’re creating for your members or stuff like that.

Ruth Poundwhite [00:58:00]:
Get it or your website, you know, test the flow of it and stuff like that. So whatever you are creating at the moment, get that report from Claude about like the flow and anything it’s missing and stuff like that makes it, it makes you feel more solid in the value of it as well as it being practically helpful. And the, the freebie that I’m actually working on right now is more about the cognitive load side of things because it helps me with that so much. But I know that sometimes it can be very hard to know where to even start. So I need to give this freebie a name. But it’s going to help you to figure out where to start with taking things off your plate with Claude and also give some prompts for some messy brain dumps for different areas of your business. So if you don’t know where to begin, that’s where you get started.

Monica Froese [00:58:52]:
Oh, I want all of your freebies. Thank you. Thank you all for offering all these wonderful things. So wherever you’re listening, we will put all the links that we talked about in the show notes or if someone’s sending out via email. All of our audiences are a little bit different how we’re going to host this, but I just want to thank all of you ladies for joining us for this roundtable and sharing all of your amazing ideas on how people can leverage cloud in their business.
