How we build with Claude

The model is
the easy part.

Everyone has the same Claude. What makes it useful is what you wrap around it. That is what we are building today.

Scroll, or use the arrow keys

First, do not get lost

Three tabs. We only live in one.

What an agent actually is

Three pieces, or it is just a chat window.

It works for you Not just answers you

In plain English

A brain, a brief, and the keys.

01 / Model

The brain

Clever, quick, and knows nothing about you. The same one everybody gets.

A brilliant new starter on day one. Has not met a customer yet.

02 / Context

The brief

Your prices, your customers, your voice. Everything it needs to sound like you.

Hand over the folder. This is the bit that is always missing.

03 / Harness

The keys

Your systems, and permission to use them. Reading, writing, sending, on a schedule.

A desk and a login. This is what a chat window never has.

The map

Your setup is four layers.

Why most people get nothing out of AI

Build them in this order.

01 M Memory

It cannot write about your business until it knows your business.

02 A Applications

It cannot pull your numbers until it can reach your systems.

03 S Skills

Now it can do a real job, because it knows you and can reach your data.

04 R Routines

Once a job comes out right, put it on a timer and stop thinking about it.

Most people start at Skills with an empty Memory, then wonder why it sounds like a robot.

Four layers.
That is the whole map.

The layers never change. Only what you put in them does. So you are never starting from scratch, you are just adding to one of the four.

The model isthe easy part.
