Start here
AI shouldn't require a second career.
That's the idea behind everything here, and it's worth saying before the prices.
AI turns into a second job in two ways. One is the feeding: client details pasted into every new chat, and the prompt that worked last month that nobody can find now. The other is the checking. A draft that reads as if it was written about the industry rather than about this client has to be rewritten before it can go out, because your name is on it.
Both have the same fix. Write down once what a good associate would need to know: your standard for each kind of document, how you write, and each client's people and rules. Let Claude draft against that, and read everything before it goes out. A prompt is something you retype; a brief is something you version. Each correction goes into the brief, so the next draft starts from it.
Everything below is a way into that.
Start with something free
Two of these cost nothing and take about ten minutes. If neither one earns its place in your week, none of the paid ones will either, and that's the fastest way to find out.
- The Friday Update Brief: a week of raw notes in, the update your client reads out. It's the smallest working version of the whole idea.
- The Discovery Debrief: paste messy call notes and get a structured one-page debrief back. Best if you want to judge the output before anything else.
Then pick the job that costs you most
Each one names a problem. Start with whichever takes the most of your time.
"Client work for several clients, and it has to sound like me."
Updates, proposals, case studies and scope memos, drafted to your standards and each client's rules, with each client's details written down once. The Claude Workspace Kit is a folder Claude works in that already holds your practice and the briefs that produce the work. It starts with a ten-minute test drive on a worked example, and it includes a preset for fractional operations work.
"Proposals eat my week."
Three hours each, all slightly different, always on a Friday. The Proposal-Closer Pack is eight prompts in order that take a discovery call to a finished proposal in about twenty-five minutes, with you checking each step. Start with the free Discovery Debrief above. It's the first prompt in that chain.
"I want Claude to know my practice, but I work in chat."
If you'd rather stay in chat, that's fine. The Claude Project Kit sets Claude up once, so every conversation after that starts out knowing your clients, your offers and how you write. It’s free.
The two kits aren't competing, and the difference is one sentence: the Project Kit sets Claude up to know your practice in chat; the Workspace Kit sets Claude up to do the work in your files.
"Things slip once I'm running two or three clients."
Kickoffs, weekly updates, invoices, retros: the work between the work, which is where things slip and clients notice. The Solo Operator's SOP Bundle is ten written procedures, each with the Claude prompt that runs it.
"I want the whole thing."
The Mega Bundle is the Playbook, the Proposal-Closer Pack and the SOP Bundle together at a discount. If you'd rather read the whole approach first, the Solo Consultant's AI Playbook is that on its own, and the Starter Bundle pairs it with the Pack.
If you'd rather not choose
Run the free Friday Update Brief this week. If it holds up, the Workspace Kit applies the same idea to the rest of your client work, and it's the one to look at next.
