Your entire enterprise fits neatly inside a laptop bag. You can unpack it in any corner of the globe and begin servicing clients immediately, operating entirely without a physical office or lease. While your expertise and concepts are fully prepared, traditional mental models of commerce still conjure up images of commercial real estate, front doors, and complex payrolls. What if your operations relied on a lean human core paired with hundreds of autonomous digital agents executing the heavy lifting?

Launch an AI-driven venture directly from your portable computer using Claude, operating from any city with your existing expertise. Simply copy and paste these prompts into Claude, keeping a continuous chat thread active so that contextual awareness flows seamlessly.

Start a business anywhere with Claude: prompts for your laptop

Reimagine what’s possible

An artificial intelligence agent can ingest a strategic objective by nightfall and deliver completed execution by morning. These systems can accomplish virtually anything you can conceptualize. A prominent trend for tomorrow’s enterprises points toward ultra-lean human teams managing massive swaths of software agents—a small group of people directing an entire digital workforce. Architect your commercial model for this incoming reality and cast aside outdated organizational paradigms.

Based on what you know about me, my skills and my experience, describe 3 AI businesses I could build from my laptop, each with a very lean team running thousands of AI agents. For each one, explain who the customers are, what the agents do every day, what the people on the team do, and how the business makes money. Then list the assumptions about business I should drop to build any of them. Ask for more detail if required.

Find a problem people want solved

The creator of Jodie AI originally designed the tool to assist clients between formal appointments. When coaching and consulting peers requested the same functionality, Coachvox was born, eventually scaling to support over 5,000 coaches. It always begins with a personal pain point that your peers share too. Two core ingredients launch a venture: a genuine problem awaiting a solution, and a mechanism to deliver it. Examine the recurring inquiries your clients and colleagues present weekly, as the complimentary guidance you offer could easily transition into a revenue-generating enterprise.

Based on what you know about me, list 10 problems my clients and my wider network ask me to help with that an AI business could solve. For each one, describe who has the problem, how they try to solve it today, and how AI could solve it faster. Then rank the 10 by how much each problem costs the person who has it, and recommend the one I should start with.

Business owners frequently want artificial intelligence integrated into their workflows but lack the bandwidth to master it themselves, creating an immediate opening for advisory agencies. Alternatively, productized software serves as a secondary model where customers input data for instant outcomes. A third option involves AI-assisted services where you manage delivery augmented by machine intelligence. These represent three distinct pathways to commercial monetization.

Based on the problem I chose, show me how I could solve it with 3 business models. The first is an agency that sets up AI for clients. The second is an AI product that people plug their details into to get an outcome. The third is an AI-powered service where I deliver the work and AI assists me. For each model, give me the first offer I could sell, a starting price, the tools I need and what my first month looks like. Then recommend the model that fits my skills best and explain why.

Shadow someone successful

Request permission to shadow high-performing individuals within your professional network. With their consent, record their discussions, phone calls, and executive sessions to uncover the exact challenges they are willing to invest capital to resolve—essentially securing a tuition-free education. Successful leaders face high-value challenges, and high-value challenges form the bedrock of resilient businesses. Analyze your recordings to determine how artificial intelligence can eliminate these friction points.

I shadowed a successful person and recorded what they talked about, with their permission. I am going to share the transcript. Based on the transcript and what you know about me, list every problem they mentioned, what each problem costs them, and how I could solve each one with AI agents. Then pick the one solution I could offer them first, and write the message I could send to offer it.

You author the precise parameters, and your agents execute them faithfully. Your primary function shifts to training these digital workers through explicit directives and strong reference examples. Document your problem-solving methodology step-by-step, feed that protocol to an agent, and inspect the output. Refine any missteps directly within the instruction set. Once the first agent is thoroughly optimized, replicate the workflow to deploy a second.

Based on everything we have discussed, list the tasks in my AI business that agents could do, in the order I should automate them. Write a full set of instructions for the first agent I should train, including its role, the steps it follows, 2 examples of good work and how it should check its work before giving it to me. Then design a simple weekly review I can use to improve the instructions each time I see a mistake. Ask for more detail if required.
