Most people open Claude, type a question, and treat it like a faster Google. That's the 10%. The other 90% is where it stops being a chatbot and starts doing your actual work: remembering your business so you stop re-explaining yourself, reaching into your email and calendar, automating the tasks you repeat every week, and building small tools without a single line of code.

This is a hands-on, 90-minute working session for founders and operators who are not technical and have no interest in becoming technical. No jargon, no "learn to code," just the handful of moves that change how your week actually runs, shown live on real examples you'll recognize.

What you'll leave able to do:

• Set Claude up so it knows your business and stops making you start from scratch every time

• Connect it to the tools you already live in, like your calendar, email, and docs, so it works where you work

• Automate at least one task you currently do by hand every week

• See how a non-technical person builds a working tool just by describing it out loud

Who it's for: Founders, operators, and small-business owners who keep hearing "you have to try Claude" and haven't found 90 focused minutes to actually do it. If you've never opened Claude, you are exactly who this is for.

How it runs: This is a live, in-person session. Bring your laptop and get set up when you arrive. For the core parts, you'll follow along on your own machine, and I'll walk you through it in real time. For the more advanced automation, I'll show it live on the main screen so you can see exactly how it's done. Bring one real task from your business you'd love to hand off. We'll build the session around it.

A short setup email lands a few days before with everything you need to be ready in five minutes.

I'm Ramesh Nuti, founder of ActionEDI and your Startup Grind Frisco organizer, and I'll be teaching this one live. I use Claude to ship real software most nights, so you're getting my actual working setup, not theory. Come with your questions and I'll answer them in the room.

This is Session 1 of my AI Power Series. From here I'll go deeper on Claude agents, then run the same playbook for ChatGPT and Gemini.
