What you walk away with
Once it's installed: every morning you say one line to Claude — "morning shift" — and it reads your real Gmail and real calendar . Half a minute later you've got a brief: what's on today, which emails need answering, who to answer first. Today you'll use it to send one real reply: it writes, you change two words, you hit send.
How the lesson goes
- Step 1 Connect: let it into your inbox and calendar
- Step 2 Ignition, first half: say "morning shift"
- Step 3 Ignition, second half: pick one you really need to answer today, and let it write
- Step 4 Make it a habit: pin it, tie it to the first coffee
- Sign-off checklist
- If it won't install
- Get your staff using it
- Advanced plays (come back after the install)

FAQ
Do I need to code?
Beginner and everyday-work lessons are designed for non-technical users. Website, software and automation lessons require practice and testing; copying instructions does not guarantee a working deployment.
What do I install first?
Check the tools and account requirements in this lesson. Start with Build 39 if you have not installed Claude Code or Codex. The Codex app is not the ChatGPT chat interface.
Is this lesson free?
