In this short presentation, Nick Perry outlines four progressive ways to use Claude, the Anthropic AI assistant, arguing that most users (about 90%) are stuck at the most basic "Level 1" where they simply ask Claude questions and copy‑paste the responses. He then describes three higher levels of engagement: Level 2 connects Claude to personal productivity tools such as Google Drive, Slack, and Google Calendar, turning it into a “second brain” that can retrieve files, search contacts, and send messages on the user's behalf. Level 3 adds marketplace‑provided skills and browser automation, allowing Claude to click buttons, fill forms, and perform real‑world tasks on the screen. Finally, Level 4 – dubbed “Claude Code” – involves running multiple agents simultaneously, writing custom skills, and fully automating daily workflows, treating Claude as a teammate rather than a mere tool. Perry’s purpose is to motivate viewers to move beyond basic usage and adopt deeper integrations to unlock significant productivity gains.

Did you know that Claude has 4 levels? And did you know that level 4 can replace half of your daily tasks? Level 1 is the noob level. You open Claude, ask it stuff, and copy-paste the answer. 90% of people are here, which is fine. But you're leaving so much on the table by staying here because level 2 is where you start connecting it to your actual life. Things like Google Drive, Slack, and Google Calendar. Claude pulls your files, searches your contacts, and even messages your team for you. So you take it from a simple chatbot and turn it into your second brain. Now comes Level 3, which is the expert level. You're now using skills from the marketplace and letting Claude control your browser. It clicks buttons, fills out forms, and does real work on your screen. Most experts stop here, which is why they'll get left behind when AI advances. Because the real experts operate at Level 4: Claude Code. They're running multiple agents at once, writing custom skills, and automating their work daily. They use it as a teammate instead of a tool.
