Five Jobs to Give Claude This Week
Most owners have tried an AI chatbot once, gotten a decent answer, and gone back to doing everything by hand. This tool gives you five specific jobs to hand Claude, with prompts written for your business. No coding. Copy, paste, and check the work.

Step 1
Tell us about your business
Fill in what you like. Every prompt on this page updates as you type. Anything you leave blank stays as a bracket for you to fill in later.
Step 2
Pick a job
Each job has the same four parts: what to hand over, a way to think about it, the prompt to copy, and how to check the result.

The Binder
Give Claude your business facts so it stops guessing.
Think of it as the binder you'd hand a new hire on day one.
- In Claude, start a new Project. A Project is a workspace that keeps your files and standing instructions for every chat inside it.
- Upload your price list, service menu, policies, hours, service area, and two or three emails you've written that sound like you.
- Paste the instructions on this page into the Project's instructions.
Plan note: The free plan includes up to 5 Projects; paid plans are unlimited.
Project instructions

Check it before you rely on it
Ask it one question you know the answer to, and one the files don't cover. The second should get "the owner will follow up." If it makes something up, tighten the instructions and try again.
The Front Desk
First drafts of customer emails and review replies, using your real policies.
Think of it as a front-desk assistant who leaves a draft on your desk for your signature.
- Open your Binder Project from Job 1 so Claude has your policies.
- Paste the prompt, then paste the review or email where the brackets say.
- Edit the draft and send it yourself.

Check it before you send it
Read every draft before it goes out. A public review reply is a public statement from your business, so don't let a tool admit fault or promise a refund for you.
The Brain Dump
Turn the process in your head into a written procedure.
Think of it as explaining a job to a new hire while someone takes notes.
- Use your phone's dictation or a voice memo app that makes transcripts. Talk through the process start to finish, as if you were training someone.
- Copy the transcript.
- Paste the prompt into Claude, then the transcript where the brackets say.

Check it before you hand it off
The list of gaps is the valuable part. Answer the questions, paste your answers back, and ask for version two. Then have someone follow it once while you watch.
The Numbers Glance
A first look at your sales data, in plain English.
Think of it as a bookkeeper's first look, not the bookkeeper's sign-off.
- Export a sales or item report as a CSV or Excel file.
- Delete any columns with card numbers, bank details, or customer contact information.
- Upload the file to Claude along with the prompt.

Check it before you act on it
Spot-check two numbers against your own system. If Claude talks about markup or margin, run its numbers through the calculator below.
Check the math: markup vs. margin
Markup is profit divided by cost. Margin is profit divided by price. They are different numbers for the same sale: a 50% markup is a 33.3% margin.
The First Read
A plain-English map of a contract before you call your lawyer.
Think of it as the highlighter, not the lawyer. It finds the clauses. It doesn't tell you whether to sign.
- Read the contract's confidentiality clause before you upload it anywhere.
- Upload the PDF to Claude along with the prompt.
- Use the section numbers to check each point against the contract, then bring the questions to your attorney.
Claude isn't your lawyer, and neither is this page. A good first read makes your hour with your attorney shorter and better. It doesn't replace it.

Check it before you sign anything
Section numbers let you verify every point in seconds. Look hardest at automatic renewal. A missed notice deadline can lock you into another full term.

The rule for every job on this page: it drafts, you sign. Check facts, numbers, and quotes before anything leaves your business.
