Claude in the Cloud vs Claude Code on Your Computer: What Each One Can Do
What Claude in the cloud can't reach, and five questions that sort your chores.
Give it to Claude Code, and it decides which of your chores run in the cloud and which run on your computer, then sets up the first one.
Claude in the cloud handles a lot with your laptop closed. With nobody at the computer, it can't reach three things: websites behind your own login, files on your computer, and services with no connector. This guide walks through those limits using the jobs I run for my own business, and gives you five questions that sort each of your chores into the cloud or your own computer.

What you give Claude
When the guide arrives, give the PDF to Claude Code on your computer with this sentence. Claude asks you only what it needs and does the rest with you.
Read this PDF, then ask me about the chores I do by hand every week and month. Run each one through the five questions and give me the two lists. Then set up the first chore on the list for my own computer, show me what it will do before it touches anything real, and ask me only for what you can't do yourself.
