How to Set Up AI for Your Business Without Overcomplicating It
What one person needs, and everything you can skip.
Give it to Claude Code, and it sets up your business folder and your first job.
I built the complicated version first, then tore most of it back out. What's left runs my business: one AI on a flat monthly price, a folder of text files Claude reads every session, and a few jobs that run on a schedule. This guide shows those pieces, the jobs I run on them, and why a model on your own computer, comparing AIs every month, paying per use and teams of AI agents cost more than they give back.
A 14-page PDF | For Claude Code on your 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 and set up my business folder the way it describes: the file you read at the start of every session, the to-do file, the rules folder, the model named in one setting with every request to the AI going through one place, and every job running on my Claude plan, never an API key. Then ask me which job would save me the most time and set up that one. Ask me only for what you can't do yourself, and show me anything that would send, post or change something outside the folder before you do it.
