Two hours. Laptops open. You'll install Anthropic's official small-business AI, connect your own Xero or Shopify, and leave with your Monday Brief running on your real numbers.
Cash, sales, who owes you what — it's scattered across Xero, Shopify, your calendar, and your head. Most owners run blind between Mondays. Not because they're lazy. Because pulling it together is a job in itself.
You'll install Claude for Small Business — Anthropic's official package for small business — connect it to your Xero or Shopify, and set up your own Monday Brief: one view of your cash, your sales, your overdues, and your week. Built on your real data, working before you leave the room.
This is not a talk about AI. Nothing to "go try later." It runs before you leave, or I haven't done my job.
Xero — built right here in New Zealand — just launched its official Claude integration. Your financial data, answering questions in plain English. Most business owners haven't heard about it yet. You're about to be the one who has.
Owner-operators on Xero or Shopify. Not technical. Busy. Over the AI hype, still a bit suspicious it matters. (It does — but only set up properly.)
