I connected almost my entire business to Claude in one afternoon, then asked it one question.
I audited every app I use, checked which ones have an official Claude connector, and turned on nearly all of them: my bank, my books, my email list, my community, my meeting notes, my calendar. Then I asked Claude one question: with all of this connected, what could you build for me?
It came back with more ideas than I expected. I picked one: an automated mid-year review pulling from six months of meetings, finances, calendar, and reading. What it built in half an hour would normally take me a full day.
But I also found the catch. These artifacts look impressive at first glance. They still need you to decide something, or change a behavior, before they're worth anything. If you're seeing claims online that AI can run a business on its own, this video shows you why that's not the full picture.
