Give Me 24 minutes, I'll Give You 1,000+ hours of Claude Knowledge

A creator explains how to move beyond basic Claude use: refine prompts with context, upload documents, use memory, connect apps, and automate workflows with the 10/80/10 rule.

Key Takeaways

  • Treating Claude as a one-off question tool captures only a small share of its value.
  • Providing rich context and documents dramatically improves output quality.
  • Setting up memory, app connections, and reusable skills turns Claude into an ongoing productivity system.

What the video covers

  • Opening hook: most Claude subscribers use only a small fraction of its capabilities by treating it as an expensive search engine, asking one question and closing the tab.
  • The creator admits initially sticking with ChatGPT and notes that running top-tier models on simple tasks wastes credits, a lesson learned at his companies.
  • Claude's usage is organized into four tiers: beginner, novice, intermediate, and pro.
  • The 10/80/10 rule: the user provides the first 10% of context, Claude does the middle 80% of the work, and the user refines the final 10%.
  • Better prompts add specific context (budget, business details, constraints) so outputs are tailored instead of generic.
  • Uploading documents, notebook photos, screenshots, or PDFs saves time versus describing content in text.
  • Asking Claude to ask clarifying questions before answering closes information gaps and reduces iteration.
  • Memory features let Claude retain context across conversations so users don't restart from zero each time.
  • Intermediate tier covers connecting Claude to apps and tools (e.g., Slack, Excel, PowerPoint) so it can act within daily workflows.
  • Pro tier covers building reusable skills, dashboards, and recurring automations, such as weekly update workflows set up once.

Answers

Questions about this video

What is the 10/80/10 rule the video recommends?

The creator suggests the user provides the first 10% of context Claude needs, Claude performs the bulk of the work (80%), and the user reviews and refines the final 10%. This framework keeps output tailored and human-quality rather than generic AI content.

How can users get better results from Claude in a single prompt?

Instead of asking generic questions, users should include specific context such as their situation, budget, constraints, and goals. The creator also recommends uploading documents or images instead of describing them, and asking Claude to request clarifying information before answering.

What does the video say about Claude's memory and app features?

Memory lets Claude retain information across conversations so users don't start from scratch each time. Connecting Claude to apps like Slack or Microsoft Office lets it pull information and act within tools users already use daily, extending its value beyond the chat window.

Right now, your Claude subscription is either a powerful tool in your arsenal or it's an expensive burden on your bank account. The difference between the two comes down to how you're using Claude.
00:13
Speaker A
Tell me if this sounds familiar. You open Claude, you ask it one question, and then you close the tab. Well, congratulations. If that is you, you've basically built yourself an expensive version of Google. And if you're happy with that, please be my guest. Click away from the video. This video probably isn't for you. But if you're anything like me and you want to get your money's worth, I'm sorry to tell you, but you're probably only using 2% of what Claude can actually do for you. But in today's video, that changes forever.
00:27
Speaker A
Look, I'll be honest with you. I actually wasn't an early adopter of Claude. I was still on the ChatGPT wave for a while because I was just used to it. I knew how it worked and I didn't see a reason to switch. And then I started using Claude and I realized it was better for certain things.
00:40
Speaker A
But better doesn't mean anything if you don't know how to use it. In fact, if you use it in the wrong way, you're going to burn through credits like there's no tomorrow. We've made this mistake at one of my companies, burning through expensive credits, running the best models for simple tasks, and it ended up costing us a lot of money. So, if we made this mistake, then I'm going to assume that you've probably made this one, too. But it's not your fault. Claude doesn't come with an instruction manual. The CEO of Anthropic doesn't sit you down to tell you how any of this works. So, here's what I've done for you. After spending a thousand plus hours using Claude, testing it, figuring out what its strengths and weaknesses are, I've boiled it down to four tiers of features. We've got beginner, novice, intermediate, and pro.
00:53
Speaker A
I'm not going to sit here and waste your time trying to explain what Claude is. You already know what it is. Instead, today I want to show you how to take Claude from being a basic chatbot to something that will 10x your life in 25 minutes.
00:59
Speaker A
Starting with tier one, the beginner one. So, if you're pretty new to all of this, this one is where you should start. Look, I would put money on your relationship with Claude looking something like this. You open it up, you type out a question, you read the answer, maybe ask one more thing if it wasn't clear, and you close the tab. And then tomorrow you come back and do the exact same thing again from scratch because nothing from yesterday carried over into today. Am I right?
01:08
Speaker A
Well, look, if that is you, I'm going to be honest with you. You are using less than 1% of what you are paying for every month. And look, don't get me wrong, there is some value in that. It's going to save you a bit of time digging for things that you would have to hunt down yourself. So, sure, it'll still be useful. You know, maybe 15 minutes here, half an hour there, but that is your ceiling right now. And getting past it comes down to one habit. And it doesn't matter if you're asking Claude to write an email or plan out your business. It is the same thing either way.
01:19
Speaker A
It's a bit like building a house. Just stick with me here because it'll make sense in just a second. When building a house, first you make sure the foundations are solid. Something that isn't going to fall over the second there's a bit of wind. From there, you set up the structure, the walls, the beams, the roof, really just the shell of the house. Then once the hard part is done, you then come in with the nice bits, the fixtures, the flooring, all of that.
01:30
Speaker A
Using AI works the exact same way. I call it the 10/80/10 rule. You bring the first 10%. That's really just the context that Claude needs to actually do the job properly. That's your foundation. Claude handles 80% of the middle. That's the actual work getting done. You know, that's the shell of the house. And then you come in at the end for the last final 10%. You're going to check what it gives you and really just tighten up whatever is off. And honestly, if you can just understand this 10/80/10 rule, you're already ahead of 95% of people.
01:42
Speaker A
This is even a rule that we follow at my own companies. At my companies, we really encourage using AI because it can and does do wonders for productivity. But there is a huge difference between AI slop and work that's been done with AI but refined by a human. So let's talk about that first 10% because that is the bit that changes everything.
01:51
Speaker A
There are three ways to get things right with AI. The first is the prompt itself.
02:03
Speaker A
If you ask Claude for five marketing ideas for your business, you'll get five ideas. And sure, that works, but they could apply to almost any business on the planet because you haven't told Claude a single thing about yours. So, instead, you should be more specific about it. Give it the context that it needs. For example, give me five marketing ideas for a side hustle I'm running alongside my main job. I can't spend more than $50 a month, and here is what the business does. Try it out for yourself because now you're going to notice that the ideas come back built around your situation. Do you see how two extra minutes on the prompt gets you something that's 10 times more useful?
02:14
Speaker A
The second thing is that you don't always have to sit there explaining everything in the chat. You can just show it. How? Well, you can upload a document, a screenshot of a spreadsheet, a PDF of a contract, a photo of a whiteboard after a meeting, whatever it is. Even with me, I use something called a reMarkable, which is kind of like a digital notebook. And sometimes, especially on planes, I'm writing for hours and hours and it's kind of like my thinking time. And I will upload that full notebook into Claude to then give it further context around my situation. And if you don't use one of these reMarkables, you can just take a photo of your journal or your notebook.
02:24
Speaker A
With this, you can save yourself the time of having to explain everything to Claude. You see, providing Claude with the document is much better than trying to describe it. And doing so lets you skip the whole process of copying stuff out of one place just to paste it into another. And the third one is simple. If Claude still isn't getting it right, tell it to ask you questions before you give answers. Instead of guessing at what you left out, it tells you exactly what it still needs. You answer and now it does the work with the full picture instead of filling in the gaps itself.
02:34
Speaker A
Just doing one of these three things will already get you better results. But when you combine them, well, that's when you start seeing a noticeable improvement. It's crazy to me that most people still don't do these things. When you do this, stuff that used to take eight or nine iterations of you typing, no, no, no, try it again, now only takes two or three iterations. And this is a process that only gets better.
02:45
Speaker A
The more you do it, the better you get at directing Claude. And soon enough, it's going to become automatic. It's just going to be the way that you use Claude in general. And that is when you notice that you're really getting back more than just 15 minutes a day. But even with all of this, there's still a big problem. Every new chat starts from zero, and Claude's still only ever handing you something to take away and use elsewhere, which is what we need to fix next.
02:50
Speaker A
Give me 20 seconds because I want to gift you a MacBook. If you're new to the channel, every single video I give away a brand new MacBook. I love to see you winning. I love to see you succeeding, and I love to see you getting excited about work. So, all you have to do is like this video and leave a comment. Let me know what did you find most insightful, which tip did you like the best? What was your biggest takeaway? I know this video is about AI, but if you leave an AI comment, well,
03:02
Speaker A
the nice bits, the fixtures, the flooring, all of that. Using AI works the [music] exact same way. I call it the 108010 rule. You bring the first 10%. That's really just the context that Claude needs to actually do the job
03:14
Speaker A
properly. That's your foundation. Claude handles 80% of the middle. That's the actual work getting done. You know, that's the shell of the house. And then you come in at the end for the last final 10%. You're going to check what it

06:37
Speaker A
the best? What was your biggest takeaway? I know this video is about AI, but if you leave an AI comment, well, then you are automatically disqualified.
06:44
Speaker A
Leave a real comment. Trust me, I can always tell. Speaking of comments, last video's giveaway winner will be in the description as well as I'll leave it as a comment down below. So, all you have to do is like, leave one of those
06:54
Speaker A
comments. And make sure you come back to the next video because I always announce it there. And on that note, let's get back to the video. And that is tier 2.
07:02
Speaker A
Congratulations. You have officially been promoted to the novice tier. You've started building the right habits. You now know how to use the 108010 rule that I just told you about. And the back and forth between you and Claude is a lot
07:13
Speaker A
tighter now, but you're still going to run into a wall. Claude's getting better at understanding each conversation, sure, but it still forgets you the second that you open a new chat. And when it gives you something good, you're
07:24
Speaker A
still the one taking that and turning it into a finished file elsewhere. So, to get past the ceiling, there's three more things that you need to do. The first is memory. Now, if you already know what memory is, bear with me for a second.
07:35
Speaker A
This is just a really quick version for anyone who doesn't. Memory is information that Claude actually holds on to about you across all your conversations. You tell it who you are, how you want it to answer, what you're
07:46
Speaker A
working on, and it holds on to that. And the good thing is, you set this up once, and from there, Claude keeps learning as you work with it. Let me show you where to find this. The whole thing takes a
07:55
Speaker A
couple minutes, and I promise you, the return you get on those few minutes is [music] insane. So, you're going to go to settings. You're going to open memory and you're going to turn on the two toggles there, which is search and
08:05
Speaker A
reference chat as well as generate memory from chats. And look, just to give you a bit of context, the first one lets Claude actually search back through all your previous conversations. So, let's say that it's been a few weeks
08:15
Speaker A
since you've worked on something and now you can't find the chat that you need.
08:18
Speaker A
You simply ask Claude to search through your conversations and it gives you a link straight back to the one that you're after. Small thing, I know, but it's very useful. Then the second toggle which is generate memory from chats.
08:28
Speaker A
That is actually the one that keeps learning about you as you use it. With this toggle, you don't have to do anything extra on top of just using it normally. And then there's actually one more thing that you can do with memory,
08:38
Speaker A
which I think is pretty cool. You can import it from other AI tools. And this one's really useful because if you're anything like me, you probably started out on Chat GBT or Gemini. And it can be really hard to leave those platforms
08:50
Speaker A
because over time you've built up so much contact with them without even realizing it. So moving to Claude can feel like climbing a mountain just to get back to where you were in the first place. And that's really what this fix
09:01
Speaker A
is. It's super simple. You copy the prompt that Claude gives you. Then you're going to paste it into your old AI and then just paste the response back into Claude. And just like that, you've carried the whole thing over. So that
09:11
Speaker A
fixes the memory problem, but it still doesn't fix everything because no matter how well Claude knows you, it's still giving you words inside a chat window.
09:19
Speaker A
And you're still the one who's turning those words into a finished thing elsewhere. And when I say a finished thing, I mean a file that you can actually use, not a rough version that you then go ahead and rebuild. Claude
09:28
Speaker A
can give you a working Excel file, formulas already in place, a PowerPoint deck, a Word doc, a PDF. All you have to do is just ask for the finished file.
09:37
Speaker A
Now, later in this video, I'm going to show you how to get Claude working with the files you've already got, so that way you're not starting from scratch because sometimes the spreadsheet or the deck already exists, and you just need
09:47
Speaker A
Claude working with what's there instead of handing you a brand new one. But we'll get to that in just a bit. But before we do, there's one more thing that you need to know. Once you really start using Claude properly, instead of
09:57
Speaker A
just opening it here and there, you will hit a message that says something along the lines of, "You've reached your session limit. Come back in a couple hours." Trust me, this one is so annoying. I've been there before. I've
10:08
Speaker A
been in the middle of an important task, and it just tells me that. Now, there's two ways around this. You can either spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars in order to buy extra usage, or you can get smart about which model you are
10:19
Speaker A
using for the job in front of you. If you're anything like me, I'm sure you prefer the second one. There's no point in wasting money for the sake of it. So, let's think about it like hiring a team.
10:27
Speaker A
You might have an intern. You might have someone who's experienced who's been doing the job for a while. Then you might have someone at a seuite level who's running the show. And within this company, you would never hand a top
10:37
Speaker A
executive something that an intern could do in 5 minutes, would you? Because that would just be a waste of time. And you wouldn't hand the interns your best person on it because they have no understanding for that job yet. Claude
10:48
Speaker A
works in the same way. You've got a fast lighter model. That's your intern. Quick back and forth, simple tasks, nothing that really needs much thought behind it. It's called Haiku. One step up, you've got a more experienced worker.
10:59
Speaker A
That's your daily driver for anything that needs a bit more thought. That's sonnet. Then above that, you've got your executive level, your seuite model.
11:06
Speaker A
That's the one that you bring in for the work stuff, the multi-step work, the in-depth analysis. That's opus. And then right at the top, you've got fable. And I'm not going to lie to you, this thing is good. like scary good, but it cost a
11:18
Speaker A
lot of credits to use. So early on, I would actually leave it alone. Get comfortable with the other three first before you actually play with Fable. Do you see how understanding the different models actually gives you an edge? How
11:29
Speaker A
it makes you 10 times more efficient? Because imagine how many credits that you would be burning if you were using Fable for everything. So match the model to the job in front of you and your usage will last a lot longer without
11:42
Speaker A
changing a thing about how you work. And once you stack all three of these together, Claude remembers what you're working on and it hands you something that you can use instead of something that you have to rework. And that means
11:52
Speaker A
that you're not burning through your usage by lunchtime because every job is going to the right model. You're not opening a blank chat every morning and reexplaining yourself to anyone. Now, at this stage, everything we've done so far
12:04
Speaker A
still largely kind of lives and happens inside of Claude. The next tier is where that changes. The next [music] tier is where Claude stops waiting for you to bring everything to it and it starts bringing things [music] to you, working
12:15
Speaker A
within apps, files, and tools that you're already using every day. All right, congratulations. You have [music] made it to the third tier, intermediate.
12:22
Speaker A
You now know how to feed Claude the right context up front. You've got memory switched on, so it knows who you are. You're matching the model to the job, and you're getting finished files back instead of just walls of text. That
12:34
Speaker A
is more than enough to already see a big difference in your day-to-day. But here is what your day still looks like.
12:40
Speaker A
You've got Claude sitting in one window and then everything else you work in like your email, your browser, your files, everything else sitting in a load of others. And you are the middleman between them. You copy something out of
12:52
Speaker A
your inbox. You paste it into Claude. You take whatever he gives you, you paste it back. Look, you've made Claude very smart at this point, but it is stuck on an island. It is limited because of this. This tier is about one
13:02
Speaker A
thing, getting off that island. Instead of you carrying your work over to Claude, Claude goes out to where your work already lives. And there are three places it can go. Your apps, your browser, and even your whole computer.
13:13
Speaker A
Each one gives it a bit more access than the last. So, let's take them one step at a time. Starting with your apps. Now, under connectors and setting, you're actually going to find Gmail, your calendar, Slack, Drive, Notion, as well
13:24
Speaker A
as a load of other apps. All you have to do is select an app, sign in, and then from there, Claude can reach into it.
13:31
Speaker A
And look, I'm going to be honest with you. You're not going to touch most of that list, okay? You're going to go through it and then two or three will actually matter to how you work. Let's say you're on Slack and you've just come
13:40
Speaker A
back from a couple of days off. Instead of opening every single channel on Slack and scrolling back through everything you missed, you ask Claude what happened while you were out and it pulls the whole thing together for you. Let's say
13:50
Speaker A
you connect Gmail. It's going to read what is sitting in your inbox. It's going to work out what actually needs a reply. It's actually going to have drafts waiting on the ones that matter.
13:59
Speaker A
Let's say you connect your calendar next to it. Well, then Claude is going to see where the next week has some room. Let's say you need to pencil in a work block or you're trying to find some time to
14:07
Speaker A
work out or go play tennis with a friend. All you have to do is just ask right there that is 10 or 15 minutes back at the start of every morning before you've even made a coffee. Now, there's one more thing here and it works
14:19
Speaker A
slightly differently from the rest. Back in tier 2, remember I showed you how Claude can actually hand you a finished Excel file? Well, this is the other side of that. Claude can work inside the spreadsheet that you've already got.
14:29
Speaker A
Now, look, I'm going to be honest with you. I actually don't really touch Excel much these days, but back in my agency days, I remember trying to put budgets and projections together for clients.
14:38
Speaker A
And quite frankly, it was a headache. Those are so many hours of my life that I will never get back. And if you've worked in Excel or Google Sheets, you know exactly what I'm talking about. You get a formula breaking, you get a ref
14:48
Speaker A
error that just pops out of nowhere, and you're sat there for half an hour trying to figure out what you did wrong. So, honestly, I'm quite jealous of anyone using this stuff in 2026 because Claude will write formulas straight into the
15:00
Speaker A
cell for you. Now, setting this up is a little bit different. It's actually not on the connectors list. It's a separate add-on, but it's super simple. You're basically just going to grab the Claude for Microsoft addin, and you can find
15:09
Speaker A
this on the Microsoft Store. You're going to open Excel or PowerPoint. You're going to sign in, and then from there, you're pretty much set up. So, that is apps covered. Okay, that's place number one. But everything there still
15:19
Speaker A
has Clawude actually waiting on you to come to it. So, what happens when you want its help with something that was never going to live inside a chat window in the first place? And that is the Chrome extension. Install it, sign up,
15:30
Speaker A
and Claude can literally read whatever page you've got open and work through it with you without you having to copy a single line into a chat first. So, let me give you an example. Let's say you're hiring someone to actually work on your
15:41
Speaker A
house, do some construction, and you've got six quotes across six different tabs on your browser. Every single one of them has its own price, its own timeline, let's say like a letter of engagement, and so there's fine print
15:51
Speaker A
buried between the lines. Instead of spending hours reading through all six proposals yourself, you're just going to tell Claude what matters to you, and it's going to go through every single tab and tell you which one is worth
16:02
Speaker A
calling back. That is hours of squinting at quotes turned into about 5 minutes. So that is your apps and browsers, which brings us to the third place, and it's the big one, your whole computer. And that is where Claude Co-work comes in.
16:15
Speaker A
Co-work is where Claude stops working inside of whatever window you open for it and starts working inside your machine. You're going to tell it which folders it's allowed into and from there it reads what's in them. It edits
16:27
Speaker A
things. It creates new files and it does whatever it needs to do to get the job done. Let's imagine you were hiring someone. Week one they're watching over their shoulder. Okay? They do a task.
16:36
Speaker A
They bring it to you. You check it. You send them off again. And look, that's fine because you don't know them yet.
16:41
Speaker A
But somewhere around month six, that stops. You tell them what needs to be done. They tell you how they're planning to do it. You give them the nod, the green light, and it's handled. And that is really the jump that we're making
16:51
Speaker A
here. So, let's imagine you have an online business. A new client comes on board, and their documents get dumped into a folder. Contracts, invoices, the onboarding form, all of it sat in one mess. In that scenario, you would point
17:03
Speaker A
at that folder and tell it what you want. And then it comes back and tells you how it's planning to sort it out.
17:09
Speaker A
You give it the green light, and a couple of minutes later, it's done. But there's still a gap. Because if you have to explain how you want something done every single time, you've not really hired anyone. You've just got someone
17:19
Speaker A
standing there waiting for instructions. A good [music] hire only needs showing once. That is where skills come in handy. You build it one time and Claude runs it the same way every time after.
17:30
Speaker A
As an example, let's say every Friday you're going to turn all the week's numbers into the same update for your team. The same structure, the same sections every single time. You get it right once. You tell Claude to actually
17:41
Speaker A
save it as a skill and from then on it just runs. And if building one isn't worth your time, there's actually a marketplace called SkillsMP where people have literally built thousands of these.
17:50
Speaker A
You literally just grab one, you adjust it to what you need, and that way you're not starting from scratch. So, what would you actually turn into a skill?
17:57
Speaker A
You might be wondering. My rule of thumb is that if I catch myself doing the same thing four or five times, that's normally something that I should turn into a skill. So now Claude is in your apps, it's in your browser, and it's in
18:07
Speaker A
your files. And it knows how you like things done without you having to stand over its shoulder every time. Which brings us to the last tier. If you've set up everything in the last three tiers, you are already ahead of nearly
18:18
Speaker A
everyone you work with. Claude is in your apps, it's in your browsers, it's going through your files, it's running your skills without you explaining yourself twice. So you might be thinking, "That's it. [music] That's the whole thing." But I want you to stop and
18:30
Speaker A
think about what all of that's got in common for a second. Because everything I've shown you so far, Claude's working on something that's already there in front of it. Your inbox, [music] your tabs, that messy folder in your
18:41
Speaker A
computer, all of that already exists, right? So, what happens when the things that you need don't actually exist yet?
18:47
Speaker A
Well, that's the final ceiling. And that is what this tier is all about. Breaking through this final ceiling. Because think about all of the tools that you use today. Whether that's a project tracker, maybe a CRM, whatever spreadsheet you've been holding on to
18:58
Speaker A
for the last 2 years, someone else built every one of them for someone else. and you have just been living with the parts of it that annoy you. So, this is where you stop asking Claude to work on the
19:07
Speaker A
stuff that you've already got and instead you start getting it to build brand new things to work inside of. And this one is just way easier for me to show you than explain. So, let me walk you through it. So, let's say for
19:17
Speaker A
example that you are managing a handful of clients and you are sick and tired of having to keep track of where each client is at. It's all living inside your head or it's in some random spreadsheet that you haven't touched in
19:27
Speaker A
3 weeks. So, in that case, you're just going to tell Claude what you want. I'm going to type something like, look, I want a dashboard, one place I can see all of my clients, what stage they're at, what needs doing next, and what is
19:38
Speaker A
overdue. Now, for this, we're going to be using Claude Design. It's actually one of the newer additions to Claude.
19:43
Speaker A
So, I actually wouldn't blame you. It's kind of like having your own personal design team that you don't have to pay each month. Now, this works similarly to everything else that we've covered. You tell it what you want and it gives you
19:53
Speaker A
something back. But instead of describing the idea back to you, it actually hands you something that you can click through and move around. So, for this dashboard, it's going to lay out the pages. It's going to have a card
20:03
Speaker A
for each of the clients. It's going to have the filters as well as how you move from one screen to the next. And I'm going to walk through the whole thing and just change whatever I want before anything is built. And trust me, this is
20:13
Speaker A
more important than it sounds because it's a lot easier to tell Claude, move that over there, stick another filter on this page, do that now, rather than noticing it after the whole thing's already been built. Because at this
20:24
Speaker A
stage, what it's handing you isn't the finished thing. It's the plan for it. And getting from that plan to something that's actually properly running is a whole step in itself. So Claude design has an export built in. It takes
20:35
Speaker A
everything that you signed off on and actually sends it over to clawed code, which means clawed code is not sitting there staring at a blank page. It's picking up right where you left off.
20:44
Speaker A
Clawed code is where the software actually gets written. Same thing as always, you tell it what you need and it writes the code behind it. It tests that code and it actually fixes what breaks before handing it back to you. Do you
20:56
Speaker A
see how this is literally like having a whole team working on this dashboard for you and the result is a fully functional dashboard? That is the difference between a thing that you could only click through and look at versus
21:08
Speaker A
something that actually works. Now, once you've got the dashboard tool, you still need a way to actually keep everything up to date, right? And this is actually where I'm going to refer to a couple things I mentioned in the last tier. For
21:18
Speaker A
this, Co-work can actually handle the files around the whole [music] thing. Let's say a new client comes on, their document gets dropped in the folder and co-work is going to go through it. It's going to sort everything out and it's
21:28
Speaker A
actually going to get everything ready for the next step. And if that next step is the same every time, well then you already know what to do. You're going to turn that into a skill, the same skills that we were talking about earlier. Are
21:37
Speaker A
you following? Are you starting to see how everything kind of connects once you understand all of the different tiers?
21:42
Speaker A
You build a skill that takes your messy notes from a client call and turns them into a clean update laid out the same way every time. You set it up once and Claude just knows that is how you want
21:53
Speaker A
it done from then on out. And then you stack another skill on top of it. Claude runs the first then takes what it made and feeds it straight into the second without you carrying anything [music] across. That is the difference between
22:05
Speaker A
using a skill once and building yourself a little ecosystem out of a few of them.
22:10
Speaker A
Each one does its bit. and what comes out of one goes into the next. Then there's the final piece to the puzzle, and this is the one that actually kind of takes you out of the whole process, more or less. It's called schedule
22:21
Speaker A
tasks, and it's pretty much what it sounds like. You tell Claude what to run and when. So, let's say every Monday at 8:00 a.m., which is every morning before you're out of bed, or whatever works for you. So, what's going to happen is
22:30
Speaker A
instead of sitting down every Monday to pull the week's notes together and then run your skills and get the updates ready, instead you set it up one time.
22:38
Speaker A
From then on, Claude runs the whole chain for you on schedule using the skills as well as the connectors that you've already got, which means every Monday morning, the client updates are written and the follow-up emails are drafted before you've even opened your
22:51
Speaker A
laptop. All you have to do is read them over. Remember the 108010 rule? Look at what just happened there. You described a tool that didn't exist. Claude designed it, it built it, [music] and now it is keeping the whole thing
23:03
Speaker A
running without you even in the room. Every tier before this one, you are getting Claude to do more of your work.
23:09
Speaker A
Here, it builds the place where the work happens. [music] And that is how you turn Claude from a measly chatbot into a full-on system that can make your life 10 times easier.
23:19
Speaker A
There you have it, all four tiers, beginner, novice, intermediate, and pro. If you've been paying attention, you probably already know which tier that you're in right now. But here's the thing. Claud isn't going to become fundamentally different [music]
23:32
Speaker A
tomorrow. What changes is how you use it. That is the difference between whether Claude becomes your most powerful tool or an expensive subscription. So don't just watch this video, convince yourself that you've been productive today, and go straight
23:46
Speaker A
back to doing things the slow way. Identify the tier you're in, pick one feature to focus on first, and set it up today already. And with that being said, I hope today's video was useful. Now go put Claw to work. And as always, I'm
23:58
Speaker A
watching from afar and I'm rooting for
