Earlier this week, I nearly deleted a Notion page my students are actively using. A week out from my next AI MegaClass.

Here's how it almost happened.

My Notion workspace had become a bit of a sprawl. Skills in one database, custom GPTs in another, shared tools in a third, plus a couple of public-facing pages. So I sat down with Claude Cowork to consolidate the lot into one master registry.

On my cleanup list, written weeks ago BY ME, was a note: "delete duplicate MegaClass page." I blindly copied that into the instructions without any further context.

Claude didn't just start deleting. It audited everything first. And its very first finding back to me was this: that "duplicate" isn't a duplicate. It's the live December MegaClass page. Students are using it right now. Don't delete it.

Oof.

It even suggested I update my cleanup note from "delete" to "review carefully." Which is the politest possible way of saying "your to-do list nearly took out a page full of content for paying students."

But this kind of feedback goes both ways. Later in that same session, I caught a gap in Claude's plan. It was going to quarantine my public databases but not copy their contents into the master record, so I pulled it up and we fixed it together.

So in one working session, my AI caught my mistake and I caught its blind spot.
That's the part of working with AI that often gets overlooked. Everyone frames "human in the loop" as the human nobly catching the robot's errors. Some days it's the other way around. The to-do list I wrote weeks ago was the stale, dangerous instruction, and the AI was the one that said hang on, let's check first.

Good partnerships check each other's work. Turns out that applies to this one too.

It's Saturday evening and here's how my day went.

Parkrun this morning to celebrate my 350th event milestone. Breaky with an awesome group of friends. A much deserved nap to try to shake off my cold. Then I went out to watch a movie with my hubby as part of his birthday weekend celebrations. It was Disclosure Day, in case you’re wondering. And don’t bother. Terrible movie. But that’s not the point.

Not once did I open my laptop.

Meanwhile, my AI Dream Team was quietly working away in the background. Wrapping up the week that was. Reviewing what content performed. Pulling together my numbers. Prepping my briefing for the week ahead. By the time I sit down on Monday morning, the groundwork's already done.

That's not magic. It's scheduled tasks. And it's something any business owner can set up.

So let me ask you this… What would YOU love to have done for you over the weekend while you're out living your best life?

Because that's the real question. Not "what can AI do?" but "what's eating my Saturday, Sunday night and my Monday morning that I'd happily never do again?"

If you run a service-based business, here are a few that deliver serious bang for your buck:

1. A weekly wrap-up. Your numbers from email, social and your website, pulled into one plain-English summary. No dashboards, no headache.
2. Inbox triage. Weekend emails sorted and summarised, with draft replies ready for anything that needs a response.
3. An industry scan. What did the key voices in your space publish this week? Your AI hands you a summary with talking points ready for Monday's content.
4. A repurposing run. Your best-performing post from the week, redrafted for your other platforms and waiting for your review.
5. A week-ahead briefing. Your Monday calendar, outstanding tasks and anything that needs prep, summarised and ready before your first coffee.

One thing I'll lovingly warn you about: scheduled AI tasks should produce drafts and documents for YOUR review. They shouldn't send, publish or spend on your behalf. AI is the amplifier. You're still the human in charge.

So, what would you hand over first? Tell me in the comments.

Everyone's talking about Claude Cowork. Almost no one's showing you how to actually use it. And nobody's going the extra step to help you get it set up.

You've probably heard the name by now. Cowork is the part of Claude that doesn't just chat with you, it does the work. The content, the admin, the follow-ups, all the repetitive bits that eat your week, with you approving everything that goes out. It's where Claude stops being a chat window and becomes a genuine team member, while you stay in control of the quality.

And that's the gap. You've got the hang of chatting with AI, but knowing Cowork exists and knowing how to actually use it are two very different things. It's the step most people haven't taken, and it's the one that finally gives you your time back.

If you've been wanting to get into Cowork but didn't know where to start, this is for you.

That's exactly what The AI MegaClass: Build Your AI Workforce is for. It's a hands-on, full-day live training where we set it up together. I'll walk you through every step, so you're never left stuck on the tech or puzzling over confusing connections. We'll connect the tools you already use every day, install a ready-made Skill Squad, and get your repetitive tasks running on a schedule, all while you stay in control of every yes.

You'll go from "I've heard of Cowork" to a working system running inside your business, set up properly and getting the most out of everything Claude can do.

Friday 19 June. Live online, recording included.

Come and learn it properly, get it set up, and finally start reaping the rewards.
