The Monday Routine · AI for small business owners

Hand Monday's admin to AI. Keep the decisions.

Practical AI for owners who'd rather run their business than learn software. Our first course, built on Claude, shows you in thirty-one short lessons how to get invoices chased, books checked, deals followed up and reports written, and how to forecast cash, re-price and win back customers from your own books, with nothing sent until you say so.

What you'll watch

Real work on a real-looking business, not slides about AI

Every lesson is filmed in the Claude desktop app on Harbor Lane Bakery: six invoices, ten crumpled receipts, five customer emails, a QuickBooks company and a HubSpot pipeline. Animated explainers show what Claude is doing while it works.

Lesson 17. Claude reads the inbox before chasing anyone. One customer says he's paid, so he gets a question instead of a demand.

Module 7 · Money workflows

The questions that keep owners up at night, answered from your own books

Modules 1 to 6 teach you Claude. Module 7 puts it to work on the money: five workflows that connect QuickBooks, your bank, your sales and HubSpot. Here's what Claude found in the demo bakery's books.

Lesson 27

Can we make Friday payroll?

Wed Nov 4: −$1,915

A 13-week forecast from QuickBooks, the bank export and the Gusto schedule, using how late each customer really pays. The first two weeks break. Three small moves fix them, and none of them is a loan.

Lesson 28

Butter went up. What do I charge?

Wholesale croissants: sold at a loss

Claude re-costs the menu from the supplier invoices and October's unit sales, finds the smallest price changes in the price list's own style, and spots what a quick look misses in the wholesale contracts.

Lesson 29

Who quietly stopped ordering?

$7,030 a year, drifting away

Every customer is judged against their own ordering rhythm, so the seasonal ones aren't flagged. A note in HubSpot changes who the check-in goes to.

Lesson 30

Never miss a catering lead

No reply in 2 hours? You hear about it.

One paragraph becomes a tested alert that checks every hour in opening hours. Claude asks the questions people forget before it switches it on.

Lesson 31

Hand your accountant a clean month

QuickBooks said $72,548 profit

A three-way match of Square, the bank and QuickBooks finds a held $7,499.84 payout, $1,880.73 of unbooked card fees and a refund booked twice, then rebuilds October's real profit (about $21,000) in plain English.

Each money lesson ends with a workbook page: the prompt for your business, what to check before you trust the result, and how to adapt it. The bakery is a demo business; the method works on your numbers.

This is for you if

  • You run or manage a business with roughly 1 to 50 people.

Questions

Before you buy

Why pay when there are free AI courses?

Free courses teach general AI skills. This one shows one complete weekly routine on a working business, from first prompt to month-end check, with the files to practice on, in under an hour of video. You can watch four lessons free before you decide.

Do I need to know anything technical?

No. Every lesson is typing a plain-English request and clicking Allow. If you can write an email, you can do this.

Is my business data safe?

Claude only opens folders and apps you approve, and anything that writes or sends asks first. Lesson 24 walks you through every setting.

Mac or Windows?

The Claude desktop app runs on both. The course is filmed on a Mac; the steps are the same on Windows.

What if I use Xero instead of QuickBooks?

The prompts work the same way with any accounting app Claude connects to, including Xero. Just name your app.

How long does it take?

The videos run 63 minutes. Work through a short lesson, then try it with your own business files.

Can Claude really chase overdue invoices in QuickBooks?

Yes. With the QuickBooks connector, Claude reads your accounts-receivable report, checks the customer emails you point it at, and drafts a reminder for each overdue invoice. It doesn't send anything until you approve. Lesson 17 shows it step by step.

Which Claude plan do I need?

You'll need your own paid Claude plan. Lesson 25 compares the plans, and Anthropic lists the current plans and prices.

Claude changes all the time. Will this go out of date?

Buyers get updated lessons when menus or features change. The habits it teaches stay the same.
