Heather asked, what if I'm building the business? I don't have a website. I don't have social. I don't have any products yet. There's nothing for AI to search through and I don't know where to start. I am so jealous of people who are just starting businesses right now because Claude has made it so, so, so easy for small business owners to get started. So Heather, what I want you to do is I want you to go to Claude. I want you to pay for the $20 a month subscription. I want you to download the desktop version of Claude. I want you to go to Cowork, and you're going to click on something called Plugins. Once you get there, you're going to search small business. And the reason I want you to start here is Claude has already done the work for all small business owners. It's identified 31 different skills, which are activities that most small business owners have to do on a monthly basis. and it also identified 12 different platforms that most small business, small business owners use. Things like QuickBooks, Stripe, HubSpot, whatever. Go check it out. It is the perfect place to start because they've done all the research for you. The other best part, and why I'm jealous, is you'll have your entire business automated. Your systems will be automated. It's all pulling in from the MCP inside Claude. So I'm super jealous because I started my business in 2022 and I have a bunch of things that don't talk to Claude. So that is where I would start. And best of luck, Heather, on your new business venture. If you have an AI question, go ahead and put it in the comments below.
