Elliott Botterill shows how to set up Claude with your business data before using it. Connect Gmail, Google Calendar, Grain transcripts, and project trackers via ready-made connectors, then have Claude generate a daily briefing. The quality of what AI produces depends entirely on the data you feed it.
Cloud is awesome. So I connect everything to Claude, and then I program it to deliver a daily brief. Here's the juicy stuff. Step 1 is all about the data, because we want to make sure this bad boy knows everything about your business, because it's only as good as the context that it has. And so now, through simple connectors, we can actually connect your email. So Gmail, in my case, has access to my Google Calendar. It has access to Grain, what we use to record all of our meetings, and so it gets all the transcripts from every single meeting that takes place. We have a link to a project tracker as well for our marketing and sales teams. Anywhere else where any core business context might live, you want to connect, and it's really super simple to do this. This is really important because obviously the data sources are everything.
