The cover of Your First Week With Claude
What's inside

Eight short chapters, and none of them waste your time

Most AI guides are a list of things to add. This one is mostly a list of things to drop, which is why it takes an evening to read and a week to act on.

  1. 01

    What Claude actually is

    In plain English, without the sci-fi. Including what it costs and which plan to start on.

  2. 02

    Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot

    An honest side-by-side, including the things Claude is worse at.

  3. 03

    The five ways you can work with it

    Chat, Projects, Cowork, Design and Code. Which one you need this week, and which four you don't.

  4. 04

    Your first week, day by day

    Monday to Friday, 20 minutes a day, on real work rather than practice tasks.

  5. 05

    The prompts that do most of the work

    Nine to copy, each with the reason it works so you can write your own.

  6. 06

    What it looks like when it works

    Six small businesses, the job they pointed it at, and the time it actually saved.

  7. 07

    What to ignore, and why

    The longest section, and the one you'll enjoy most.

  8. 08

    Three rules that keep you safe

    Data, accuracy, and still sounding like yourself.

A look inside

Written to be used, not admired

A page of copy-and-paste prompts from the guide

Every prompt comes with the reason it works, so you can adapt them instead of collecting them.

The page listing what to ignore, most items struck through

The chapter that gives you time back rather than filling it.

Who it's for

If AI has started to feel like homework, this is for you

You run a business. You've seen the posts about 31 tools you need before Friday, you've maybe opened one, and you've quietly parked the whole thing twice already.

You don't have an AI shortage. You have an information overwhelm problem. This guide is the edit: one tool, a handful of prompts, five days, and permission to ignore the rest.

What it cuts
  • Which model to pick
  • Prompt engineering courses
  • Building automations and agents
  • The AI news cycle
  • Comparing every tool before starting
  • One tool, used every day, on real work

Who wrote it

Jess Kearney

I'm an AI consultant for small businesses, and before that I spent 15 years in luxury events and business support. So I've sat on your side of the desk, with a full week and no appetite for another platform to learn.

I help business owners cut through the noise and set up the handful of things that genuinely earn their place. This guide is the conversation I have most often, written down so you can have it for free.
