  1. 0:00Most people open Claude and use it like
  2. 0:02a fancy Google search. That's like
  3. 0:04buying a Ferrari and only driving it 10
  4. 0:06km an hour. I build AI products every
  5. 0:09single day through my company Martel
  6. 0:10Ventures and I heavily use Claude in all
  7. 0:13my work. So, I'm going to walk you
  8. 0:15through 16 Claude hacks that will save
  9. 0:17you hours of time, grow your business,
  10. 0:19very important, and boost your
  11. 0:20productivity in ways that will blow your
  12. 0:22freaking mind. Let's get into it. Number
  13. 0:24one, the memory import. See, if you are
  14. 0:27still stuck on Chat GPT, so sorry to
  15. 0:29hear. Now, we got to migrate you over,
  16. 0:31but you don't want to lose your
  17. 0:32contacts. It'll bring over everything,
  18. 0:34your preferences, your history, and
  19. 0:36it'll transfer it over like that. It's a
  20. 0:38simple way to import everything you've
  21. 0:39done in Chat GPT and bring it over to
  22. 0:41Claude in less than 2 minutes. We go to
  23. 0:43our settings, we go to capabilities, and
  24. 0:46then start import. Claude then gives you
  25. 0:48a prompt and then you paste it into Chat
  26. 0:50GPT, then it gives you everything it
  27. 0:52knows about you. Got you. So, you take
  28. 0:54the output and paste it back into the
  29. 0:56Claude box, you click add to memory and
  30. 0:58voila, tout fini, you're done. Hack
  31. 1:00number two, model selector. Claude has
  32. 1:03three different power levels essentially
  33. 1:05and you got to pick the right one for
  34. 1:07the right job. So, you click the model
  35. 1:09selector at the bottom right and then
  36. 1:11you see we've got Haiku. This is your
  37. 1:13cheapest and fastest model. Then you've
  38. 1:14got Sonnet, best for everyday tasks.
  39. 1:17You've got Opus, that's best for complex
  40. 1:19tasks. Or you can select this little
  41. 1:21adaptive thinking thing so it picks
  42. 1:24automatically depending on the task so
  43. 1:25you don't have to think, but then you
  44. 1:27don't have as much control. I like to
  45. 1:28set my own control. So, for example, if
  46. 1:30you're looking for patterns and metrics,
  47. 1:32Opus crushes. It thinks way harder. If
  48. 1:35you're drafting an email response,
  49. 1:36Sonnet, it's awesome. And my favorite
  50. 1:39part, it's faster and it can give you
  51. 1:40different options. If you're trying to
  52. 1:41summarize 50 meeting notes, it's just a
  53. 1:43bunch of data, Haiku, instant, done in
  54. 1:46seconds. Next, hack number three, the
  55. 1:48Gmail connector. Dan, is it secure? Your
  56. 1:52security at home is a bazillion times
  57. 1:54less security than the team at Claude. I
  58. 1:56just want you to know that. So, stop
  59. 1:58asking me if it's secure and start using
  60. 2:00the tools to make yourself some money.
  61. 2:01You should just not be touching your
  62. 2:03inbox. You can literally do all your
  63. 2:05email through Claude. But first, we got
  64. 2:07to connect it. You go to customize in
  65. 2:09the sidebar, connectors, then choose
  66. 2:11Gmail, then log into it. Super easy.
  67. 2:14Click, log in, it's added. I ask Claude
  68. 2:16to find stuff, summarize it, draft
  69. 2:19replies for me, and for what it's worth,
  70. 2:21the Gmail inbox search sucks. So, how
  71. 2:24about we get the AI to search for us. If
  72. 2:27you want a cheat code and you have an
  73. 2:28assistant, what I do is I have a Claude
  74. 2:30account that is for my assistant and I.
  75. 2:33I've connected to my inbox and they can
  76. 2:35use that to search my inbox through our
  77. 2:37shared Claude account so that she can
  78. 2:39self-serve on any questions she would
  79. 2:41normally ask me, she can find it in my
  80. 2:43inbox. Power move. Hack number four,
  81. 2:46calendar connector. Similar, but
  82. 2:48different. Let me tell you why.
  83. 2:49Essentially, Claude connects your Google
  84. 2:51calendar and it can do a lot of cool
  85. 2:53stuff. Yes, it can schedule things. It
  86. 2:55can help you with meetings. It can find
  87. 2:57your free time. But even more important,
  88. 2:59it can help you analyze your time. So,
  89. 3:01same thing. We go to the same place on
  90. 3:03the sidebar, connectors, Google
  91. 3:05calendar, log in. Now, I can go into
  92. 3:07Claude and add something like, "Add 1
  93. 3:09hour time block sometime before Friday
  94. 3:11for me to review our next YouTube
  95. 3:12outline." It then creates the time block
  96. 3:14and let me know why it picked that time.
  97. 3:16An advanced move is to give it your
  98. 3:18goals for the quarter, maybe for the
  99. 3:20year, and then say, "Analyze my
  100. 3:22calendar, now analyze my email cuz you
  101. 3:24got that, too, and see if I'm spending
  102. 3:26the right amount of time on the projects
  103. 3:28to achieve those goals." Now, it became
  104. 3:30a business coach. And these are only two
  105. 3:32connectors and there's connectors for
  106. 3:34Slack, Notion, GitHub, Google Drive, and
  107. 3:36a bunch of others. Now, before we move
  108. 3:39on, if you're an entrepreneur and you're
  109. 3:40trying to keep up on all of this AI
  110. 3:42chaos, but you're maxed out on time, I
  111. 3:44totally get it. That's why I built my AI
  112. 3:46company OS Playbook, the exact framework
  113. 3:49that I use to plug AI into every
  114. 3:51department within my business. If you
  115. 3:53want it, it's yours for free. Just DM me
  116. 3:55AI business on Instagram at Dan Martell
  117. 3:57and I'll send it right over to you. Hack
  118. 3:58number five, artifacts. So, essentially
  119. 4:01what it is is working apps right in the
  120. 4:04chat. It essentially creates like little
  121. 4:06mini apps within the chat that you can
  122. 4:09use and change things around and just
  123. 4:10kind of iterate. I get asked every day,
  124. 4:12"Hey Dan, I got this idea. I want to
  125. 4:13hire a developer. How do I find the
  126. 4:15right person?" I go, "Look in the
  127. 4:17mirror.
  128. 4:18You are that person." Try it. Just say,
  129. 4:21"Build me this thing." and watch Claude
  130. 4:23build it. So, for example, you could
  131. 4:25say, "Build me a spreadsheet with sample
  132. 4:27data." and then make the columns
  133. 4:28editable, include the sales reps who's
  134. 4:30involved, the status of the sale, the
  135. 4:32product they sold, and any other
  136. 4:33information you think that would be
  137. 4:35relevant and then hit boom, enter, and
  138. 4:37then pow, it just creates these
  139. 4:39interactive apps in chat. So, it's not
  140. 4:42just like an information back and forth.
  141. 4:44Now, we're building things. Hack number
  142. 4:46six, interactive visuals. Now, this is
  143. 4:49my favorite because I used to take the
  144. 4:51data from Claude and then go visualize
  145. 4:53it in other tools. Now, I get to stay
  146. 4:54right inside the chat. Claude builds you
  147. 4:57live, clickable visuals that you can use
  148. 4:59explain anything. It's literally done
  149. 5:02what I call accelerated learning. So,
  150. 5:04for example, you can ask it to visualize
  151. 5:06the height framework, which is how we
  152. 5:08shoot our short-form videos. And if you
  153. 5:09want and need context on that, just
  154. 5:11check Slack. So, now it's going to use
  155. 5:12my Slack as a connector and it builds me
  156. 5:14this cool whole visual that I can click
  157. 5:16on and expand to learn more about what
  158. 5:17it is and it's all done by pulling the
  159. 5:19information and visualizing it. It's as
  160. 5:21simple as telling it, "Visualize this."
  161. 5:24Hack number seven, projects. Think of it
  162. 5:26like this. It's essentially a folder
  163. 5:29that's preloaded with all the context
  164. 5:31you might have around a project. See why
  165. 5:32it's called a project? And then you can
  166. 5:34actually invite other people to
  167. 5:35collaborate with you on those projects
  168. 5:38so that your chats and their chats are
  169. 5:39all in one place and you can kind of
  170. 5:41riff off each other. If you're on a team
  171. 5:42account, highly recommend you do. So,
  172. 5:44here's how How it. We go to the sidebar,
  173. 5:46then you click projects, then new
  174. 5:48project. [music]
  175. 5:49Now, I drop contacts in there. So,
  176. 5:51everything from internal documents to
  177. 5:53PDFs to anything I've downloaded, any
  178. 5:56instructions, copy-paste other chats,
  179. 5:58you put all that in the knowledge
  180. 5:59section. When you start chatting with
  181. 6:01it, it has all that reference material
  182. 6:03to be able to give you good answers. I
  183. 6:05have every one of my coaching calls
  184. 6:07transcribed. So, if I'm looking for an
  185. 6:09example, a story, a client, I can go
  186. 6:12into the project that has already linked
  187. 6:13up to that Google Drive and tell it to
  188. 6:15search every transcript to find examples
  189. 6:18or stories around this pain or this
  190. 6:19challenge, and that feeds me ideas for
  191. 6:21me to talk about in my content. And a
  192. 6:23pro move is you can create a system
  193. 6:25prompt that you copy and paste into the
  194. 6:27instruction box, which then essentially
  195. 6:29acts like what used to be called a
  196. 6:31custom GPT, so that you can get the same
  197. 6:33result over and over every time you come
  198. 6:35into that project. Hack number eight,
  199. 6:37voice mode. Now, we get to talk to
  200. 6:39Claude, cuz guess what? I can talk three
  201. 6:41times faster than I can type. So, it's
  202. 6:43super easy. On a desktop, click that
  203. 6:45little waveform at the bottom of your
  204. 6:46prompt bar. On mobile, just click the
  205. 6:48mic button. I do this all time. Well,
  206. 6:50I'm driving, I'm having fun. It's easy.
  207. 6:52And the cool part is it transcribes the
  208. 6:53whole conversation, so if you ever want
  209. 6:55to use that in something else, it's all
  210. 6:56there to go. The best part is you can be
  211. 6:58super messy in whatever you're thinking
  212. 7:00about, and Claude is smart enough to go,
  213. 7:02"Oh, you're probably talking about
  214. 7:03this." and give you a really great
  215. 7:04answer. Hack number nine, Chrome
  216. 7:06extension. Non-negotiable for me. The
  217. 7:08Chrome extension is a go-to tool. If
  218. 7:11you're a Claude user, please install it.
  219. 7:13So, what it does is it allows you to use
  220. 7:15your browser through Claude to automate
  221. 7:18tasks. So, the first thing we got to do
  222. 7:19is go to the Chrome Web Store and find
  223. 7:22Claude for Chrome and install it. And
  224. 7:24what it is, pretty much everything you
  225. 7:26do in your browser, the Claude Chrome
  226. 7:29browser extension could do for you. So,
  227. 7:30for example, if you got like a
  228. 7:31spreadsheet and you got all these
  229. 7:33numbers and you're like, "I wonder what
  230. 7:34the pattern is and what should I pay
  231. 7:35attention to?" You can just ask it. Then
  232. 7:37Claude takes a snapshot of the site,
  233. 7:39starts scraping everything, clicks
  234. 7:41buttons, works inside your browser, and
  235. 7:43it finds the insights. It does
  236. 7:44everything that you would have to do
  237. 7:46that you might not even know how to do
  238. 7:48for you automagically. Hack number 10,
  239. 7:50Cowork. This is where it gets nerdy,
  240. 7:52like my kind of people are sticking
  241. 7:54around right to the end starting now.
  242. 7:56What it is is Claude will take over your
  243. 7:58computer and do work on your computer
  244. 8:01while you step away. On your Claude
  245. 8:03desktop, so it's a separate app you have
  246. 8:04to install on your desktop, open up and
  247. 8:07you'll see Cowork. Open Cowork, it's in
  248. 8:09the top left. And here's a tip, make
  249. 8:11sure you toggle on computer use in your
  250. 8:13settings cuz it needs that to be able to
  251. 8:15do things on your computer. Then you
  252. 8:17just describe any task you need to be
  253. 8:19done and the steps that it requires and
  254. 8:20Claude breaks it down and executes step
  255. 8:23by step. So for example, you can say,
  256. 8:25"Pull last month's sales numbers from
  257. 8:26HubSpot, drop them in a Google Sheet,
  258. 8:28build a summary chart, and post on the
  259. 8:30team Slack channel before Monday 9:00
  260. 8:31a.m." and it'll take over control of my
  261. 8:33computer to do it all. It's like
  262. 8:35Claude's hands doing the work for you.
  263. 8:37Hack number 11, Schedule Task. This is
  264. 8:40one I use every day because there's
  265. 8:42things that I do every day that I just
  266. 8:43want somebody else to do for me, and
  267. 8:45it's Claude. So it's within Cowork, just
  268. 8:48type {forward slash} schedule, and then
  269. 8:50it'll allow you to schedule whatever you
  270. 8:51just typed. Things that used to be done
  271. 8:53by my chief of staff that honestly she
  272. 8:55doesn't have to do, I'll just set it up,
  273. 8:56schedule it, and nobody has to worry
  274. 8:58about it. It does that at the same time
  275. 8:59every day as long as my computer's open.
  276. 9:02So every morning Claude can read your
  277. 9:03inbox, it can send you a summary, it can
  278. 9:05figure out what's urgent, it can tell
  279. 9:07you what's new in the world, it can
  280. 9:08essentially do everything that you're
  281. 9:09probably doing every time you sit down
  282. 9:10at your computer anyway. Hack number 12,
  283. 9:12Claude Dispatch. We can essentially talk
  284. 9:16to Claude through Dispatch. Claude's
  285. 9:18made this super simple. Just go into
  286. 9:20Cowork, then you'll see a menu item
  287. 9:22called Dispatch, click it, you'll see a
  288. 9:24QR code, pull out the camera app on your
  289. 9:27phone, scan it, and it'll actually
  290. 9:29redirect you to the App Store to install
  291. 9:31the app, and then it'll connect your app
  292. 9:33to your computer. So So you might be out
  293. 9:35at dinner and realize you forgot
  294. 9:37something and you want to send it to
  295. 9:38your team so you can actually use
  296. 9:40dispatch on your phone to say, "Hey, go
  297. 9:42grab my Martel Ventures pitch deck and
  298. 9:44send it to Roddy and ask him to give
  299. 9:45feedback and then send an email to the
  300. 9:47team with all the updates." So now you
  301. 9:49can do all the co-work automations
  302. 9:51executing on your computer cuz you
  303. 9:52turned that little setting on on the go.
  304. 9:54Hack number 13, Claude Code. It's
  305. 9:57essentially an AI software developer
  306. 9:59that can code anything in plain English.
  307. 10:02A couple months ago I shut down my whole
  308. 10:04company for 2 days and taught everybody
  309. 10:07how to be a Claude Code engineer. If you
  310. 10:09want to do 10 times 100 times more work
  311. 10:11than anybody else, you have to learn how
  312. 10:13to build apps in Claude Code. And the
  313. 10:15cool part is is Anthropic has a full
  314. 10:16setup guide that'll teach everything to
  315. 10:18you and I'll link it up below. And look,
  316. 10:20there's two types of Claude Code.
  317. 10:22There's using it in the Claude app on
  318. 10:24your computer or you can actually do it
  319. 10:26in the terminal. Now if you don't know
  320. 10:28what a terminal is, that's fine. Just
  321. 10:29ask Claude and it'll tell you how to use
  322. 10:32it. I want you to know that AI is the
  323. 10:34only technology ever created that
  324. 10:36teaches you how to use it better. One of
  325. 10:38my CEOs, Todd, who's 60, he's not but I
  326. 10:41joke with him he is, literally used
  327. 10:43Claude Code to build a CEO dashboard.
  328. 10:45I'm telling you nobody heard from Todd
  329. 10:47for 3 days. Then he emerges out of his
  330. 10:49office and he brings us in there and
  331. 10:50he's got a TV on the wall and he's
  332. 10:52showing us this app he built. And
  333. 10:54essentially it's doing his job. Somebody
  334. 10:56that is not technical, not somebody
  335. 10:59learn how to code, he just knows how to
  336. 11:01talk. So this is cool but what if you
  337. 11:03want to do like coding stuff while
  338. 11:05you're on the go? Well, that's where
  339. 11:06hack number 14 comes in, Claude
  340. 11:08Channels. Essentially, you can use
  341. 11:10iMessage, Telegram, Discord to chat with
  342. 11:13Claude. So now you can code from
  343. 11:16anywhere as long as your computer's
  344. 11:17running. Anthropic put a full guide
  345. 11:19together help you set it up so I'll link
  346. 11:21it below again. But at a high level,
  347. 11:22here's what you want to do. First, you
  348. 11:23create your bot on Telegram, iMessage or
  349. 11:25Discord, pair it with Claude Code in
  350. 11:27your terminal, and then finally set up
  351. 11:29your API keys and skills. Now API keys
  352. 11:32is just something you're going to have
  353. 11:33to learn to do. It's like creating a
  354. 11:34spreadsheet if you've never created a
  355. 11:35spreadsheet. Once you learn how to do it
  356. 11:36once, you'll learn that it's just how
  357. 11:38all these computers talk to each other.
  358. 11:40Now, you can use Claude Code from
  359. 11:41anywhere and build stuff and iterate
  360. 11:43with it as long as your computer is
  361. 11:44running. So, just tell it what you
  362. 11:46needed to build. For example, my buddy
  363. 11:48Arturo was running late and he was about
  364. 11:50to miss a flight, so then he actually
  365. 11:52messaged Claude Code to check his email
  366. 11:53cuz he connected it and to look at his
  367. 11:55calendar cuz all the details were there
  368. 11:56and for it to check into his flight for
  369. 11:59him. A lot of people are using Claude
  370. 12:00Code like their own personal AI agent,
  371. 12:02but that's why I built my own platform
  372. 12:04called Apex. Essentially, it's like a
  373. 12:06digital twin. So, I have a guy named
  374. 12:08Kai, that's my guy, and he handles
  375. 12:10everything. But, it's way easier to set
  376. 12:12up, it's way more secure, and it gives
  377. 12:14you access and privacy to your own
  378. 12:16things and it can use all the language
  379. 12:18models and all the AI. So, if you're
  380. 12:19interested, just click the link in the
  381. 12:20description and check it out for
  382. 12:22yourself. Hack number 15, Claude skills.
  383. 12:24This is where you can train Claude to do
  384. 12:27a repeatable task for you exactly the
  385. 12:29same way every time. you turn anything
  386. 12:32into a skill is once you've got
  387. 12:33something going, you're working with
  388. 12:35something, you're asking to refine it,
  389. 12:36just say, "Turn this into a skill." So,
  390. 12:38to do this, just go on the left side of
  391. 12:40your sidebar and click customize,
  392. 12:42skills, and browse, and install. Or, you
  393. 12:45can create your own. And the cool part
  394. 12:46is is you can install other people's
  395. 12:48skills. Ton of them that are created for
  396. 12:50like legal, financials, HR type skills.
  397. 12:52There's literally thousands of them
  398. 12:54shared on GitHub. So, one of the most
  399. 12:56popular skills is one called Humanizer
  400. 12:58where it targets the 20 specific AI
  401. 13:00writing patterns that we all know exist
  402. 13:02and then it rewrites whatever your AI
  403. 13:04did in a more human tone. And last,
  404. 13:07Claude design. This one's going to turn
  405. 13:09everybody into a world-class designer.
  406. 13:11I'm talking pitch decks, one-pagers,
  407. 13:13landing page mock-ups, full apps, even
  408. 13:16motion graphics. As of the filming of
  409. 13:18this video, it is the newest release
  410. 13:19from Claude. So, if you want to use it,
  411. 13:21real simple, go to claude.ai/design.
  412. 13:24Now, just describe what you want and
  413. 13:26Claude will build you a draft in
  414. 13:27minutes. And it can even match your
  415. 13:29styles, brand guides, whatever you got,
  416. 13:31you can give it as examples and it'll
  417. 13:32match that as it designs for you. So
  418. 13:34basically, I want to visualize the main
  419. 13:36points of my book, Buy Back Your Time.
  420. 13:38So maybe I was creating a workbook,
  421. 13:39which already exists, but if I didn't, I
  422. 13:41could use this to visualize the points,
  423. 13:43so it take those elements out of my book
  424. 13:45and then create visual examples so it
  425. 13:48help people learn it easier. And then
  426. 13:49bada bing, bada boom, done. Like look at
  427. 13:52it. Not visually what I would do, but it
  428. 13:54gets me there. For most people, it is a
  429. 13:57game-changer. And this is the worst it's
  430. 13:58ever going to be. You don't think in 6
  431. 14:00months it's going to be better? 12
  432. 14:01months? 2 years? I think designers need
  433. 14:03to start learning how to use this. And
  434. 14:05they recently partnered with Adobe, so
  435. 14:07the whole design world is going to get
  436. 14:09mixed up big time. So I just overloaded
  437. 14:11your mind with a bunch of hacks, but
  438. 14:13here's the cool part. You don't need to
  439. 14:15do them all. Now you just know that they
  440. 14:16exist. So all I need from you is to know
  441. 14:18which one are you going to use today?
  442. 14:20Just leave a comment below and let me
  443. 14:22know. And look, if it doesn't work for
  444. 14:23you, that's fine. Go to the next one. AI
  445. 14:25can be crazy, but I trust that you can
  446. 14:28do this. You know, people message me all
  447. 14:29the time and they're like, "Dan, I feel
  448. 14:30like I'm behind." No, you're not. I have
  449. 14:32never felt ahead, and I just accepted I
  450. 14:35never will feel ahead. And the only
  451. 14:36question I got to ask myself is, am I
  452. 14:38doing the work that's going to keep me
  453. 14:39ahead? You're watching this, so that
  454. 14:41means you're part of this. And if you
  455. 14:42just do one thing from this video, you
  456. 14:45are more ahead than 99% of people. And
  457. 14:47remember, just DM me AI business and
  458. 14:49I'll send you over my AI company OS
  459. 14:51playbook. And if you want to go deeper
  460. 14:53on what AI tools to use, I ranked the
  461. 14:55best ones to make money in this video
