A founder I know closed his best three enterprise deals in a row through the same integration partner.

Not through ads, not through cold outbound, not through a BDR. Through one relationship that kept compounding. When I asked how he built it, he said something that stuck: “I didn’t build it. I stumbled into it. I have no idea how to find the others.”

Most founders know channel partners are a lever. They just don’t have a system for finding them, prioritizing them, and getting in front of the right person at each one without spending a week on research.

This guide gives you that system.

By the end, you’ll have a Claude Code project that runs a full partnerships pipeline end-to-end:

• it searches for partner candidates based on your product and ICP

• screens and scores them against a rubric grounded in actual evidence

• selects the right contact based on what you’re asking for, finds that person’s email through Hunter.io

• builds a GTM angle

• drafts a personalized email and files it directly in your Gmail inbox

• between sessions, everything is saved to a local Excel file

You set it up once. Every time you run it, you’re building on what came before.

Inside you will find:

1. What a Channel Partner Actually Is (and Which Type You Need)

2. How to Set Up the Claude Project and the Excel CRM

3. How to Wire Claude’s Identity and Choose an Operating Mode

4. How to Make Claude Find, Screen, and Score Partners

5. How to Make Claude Browse Sites and Find the Right Person

6. How to Select the Partnership Motion

7. How to Build the GTM Angle and Draft Without Hallucinating

8. How to Connect Gmail and Keep the Excel Pipeline Updated

9. The Complete Example: From Brief to Inbox in One Session

A CRM shouldn’t obfuscate your data. It should remove entire layers of busywork. Attio is the AI CRM built to do exactly that.

Connect your email and calendar, and Attio turns every customer interaction into context it can reason over and act on. Whether you’re running product-led growth or enterprise sales, Attio gives you the building blocks to run your ideal GTM system.

Then Ask Attio to:

• Analyze sales calls and surface patterns across hundreds of conversations

• Prep for any meeting with full context on what was said and what’s at risk

• Draft personalized post-call follow-ups in seconds

Ask more from CRM. Ask Attio.

Alarm at 7:00, coffee, phone. Gmail has 23 new messages. Slack has 7 unread threads. The calendar shows a 9am call with someone whose name you recognize but can’t immediately place.

Meanwhile, Claude is open on another tab, and you use it for specific questions. “Help me write this email.” “Summarize this document.” “Give me a list of ideas for X.”

→ This is not a personal assistant

It only works when you call it, and that starts from zero every time because it knows nothing about you, your week, or what you promised to do yesterday.

This guide help you build a real assistant that runs autonomously. When you’re done, you’ll have an agent that:

• scans your Gmail, Slack, and calendar every morning before you start the day

• sends you a clear morning brief directly to your inbox

• turns your inbox into a prioritized task list (what to do, decide, or follow up)

• prepares reply drafts in Gmail

• generates meeting prep notes automatically for every external call

• writes and updates all outputs in local files you can check anytime

• updates its own context over time, so it gets sharper and more aligned with you

None of it requires you to type a single prompt.

Inside you will find:

1. The setup: connecting your tools and writing your memory file

2. How to get your morning briefing delivered every day (without opening Claude)

3. How to Turn Your Inbox Into a Task List (and Draft Your Emails Automatically)

4. How to Walk Into Every Meeting Already Prepared

5. How to Run a Weekly Review That Closes Every Open Loop

6. How to Fine-Tune the System

7. How It All Runs

Pattern recognition on structured data, executed one prospect at a time, for three or four hours a day. You’re paying for sales talent and getting a research analyst.

This guide builds an agent that takes that entire layer off their plate. By the end, you’ll have a system that runs every morning without anyone touching it:

• Connects to your existing tools (Apollo, Clay, HubSpot, Salesforce, or any tool with an MCP connector) to pull ICP-fit prospects

• Searches the web for buying signals on each company (funding, leadership hires, job postings, LinkedIn activity)

• Prioritizes who to contact today vs. who to monitor

• Generates a personalized draft for every prospect worth reaching

• Sends a digest to your SDR’s inbox with everything ready to review and send

The SDR opens one email, approves the messages that look right, and sends from LinkedIn. Twelve minutes. The rest of the day is conversations.

Inside you will find:

1. The Setup: Claude Code and Your Existing Tools

2. How to Write an ICP That Claude Can Actually Use

Most founders still treat social media like a creativity problem.

It isn’t.

It’s a systems problem.

The people winning on X and LinkedIn are not simply better writers. They are better at spotting signals, framing ideas, reacting faster, packaging information, and doing it consistently enough for it to compound.

That is where most people break.

Not because they lack ideas. Because the workflow is too fragmented.

After spending months building Jordan (a full stack Content AI Agent) I’ve become convinced of something:

The big opportunity is not “AI for content.”

It is building a real social hacker.

An agent that can:

• detect intent

• find the right sources

• understand what kind of post should be written

• write in your voice

• route to the right tool

• save drafts

• post

• improve over time

That is where this is going.

By the end of this guide, you’ll have the structure for a Claude Code project that turns your taste into a distribution machine.

Inside you will find:

• What a Real Social Hacker Actually Does

• The Five Principles Behind a Good Social Agent

• How to Structure the Claude Project

• How to Give Claude a Real Brain

• How to Build the Intent Layer

• How to Control Tools So Claude Does the Right Thing

• How to Make the Agent Write in Your Voice

1. What a Real McKinsey Slide Looks Like

The doc arrives: a SAFE from an investor.

You’ve seen one before. It’s “standard,” right?

You skim it, recognize most of it (valuation cap, discount, pro-rata) and forward it to your lawyer anyway.

A few days later:

• $700 invoice

• One note on pro-rata rights

• One tweak to the cap language

• “Everything else looks standard”

That’s it.

And the annoying part? You kind of knew it already, you just didn’t want to be wrong about it.

This is how legal work runs in most early-stage startups:

• You don’t ask questions freely (too expensive)

• You avoid pushing back (don’t want to burn hours)

• You sign things you don’t fully understand

So instead of control, you get a low-grade legal anxiety.

Here’s what changes the equation. Legal work, more than almost any other function in a startup, is made up of patterns. That’s where tools like Claude come in.

The setup I’m going to describe in this guide:

• costs no extra money beyond what you’re already paying for Claude

• takes about 1 hour to build once

• cuts the number of things you need to send to your lawyer by around 70%

You’ll learn how to set up the most useful legal Projects in Claude, how Anthropic’s Legal Plugin works and when to use it, and how to build the context that makes Claude actually know your business before you send it a single document.

Inside you will find:

1. How to Think About Claude for Legal

Buried in the release was a .map file he found out 512,000 lines of TypeScript.

He posted about it on X at 4:23am. By breakfast, the codebase had been mirrored across GitHub by hundreds of developers.

Anthropic confirmed the leak was real. A packaging error, they said, not a security breach.

The code turned out to reveal something far more interesting: the system that let Anthropic ship a new Claude feature almost every day last year.

It’s kind of insane.

A good chunk of them are asking questions like:

• “What’s the best tool for managing client invoices?”

• “Has anyone tried [your competitor]? Is it worth it?”

• “We’re a 5-person team and can’t figure out our workflow. Help.”

These are your buyers. They’re already describing their pain, comparing options, and asking for recommendations. in public, every day.

The brands that show up in those conversations, consistently and helpfully, win.

The problem: doing this manually is brutal.

You’d need to monitor dozens of subreddits, run searches for dozens of keywords, check for competitor mentions, evaluate which threads are worth your time, write a reply that doesn’t get you banned and do it all over again tomorrow.

So most founders don’t bother.

This guide shows you how to build a system that does the hard part for you.

Using Claude Code you’ll set up an agent that:

• scans Reddit daily for threads where your buyers are active

• flags competitor mentions and buying-intent signals

• scores each thread by how much it’s worth engaging with

• drafts a reply that sounds human, not like an ad

• sends you a daily email digest with every opportunity and draft reply in your inbox

You wake up, review a short list, approve the ones you like, and post. That’s the whole job.

They use it to summarize decks, rewrite emails, clean up notes.

Useful but marginal.

The real leverage is somewhere else:

building a system that runs your dealflow for you

• surfaces early, often overlooked startups

• extracts signals about founders, products, and timing

• enriches them with context and contact data

• pushes the best ones into your CRM

• prepares first outreach drafts

• runs automatically on a schedule

This guide walks you through 22 steps, from setup to a fully automated tool.

5. How to structure and enrich opportunities (Step 13-14)

It’s not a secret AI is chaging the world. And very fast. Faster than we expect.

Lately, I’ve been fully focused on learning as much as I can about AI, started coding and just for the last months I’ve been fully focused on building agents.

So, I thought I would do this guide to help anyone that is struggling with keeping up and thinks this is too hard or rocket science.

I’m 100% sure anyone can learn these skills and they can be life changing.

This guide is for someone who has never built an agent before and may have little or no programming knowledge. And this is just the beginning.

The goal is simple:

By the end, you should understand:

• what an agent is,

• when to use one

• what pieces it needs

• how to build a first version

• how to test it

• how to improve it into something reliable

BEFORE STARTING: ARE YOU BUILDING AGENTS RIGHT NOW OR YOU’RE INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE? Reply to this email and tell me what you’re building (I’m cooking something interesting).

🤖 145+ agents
⭐️ 64.2k
🍴 9.7k

It’s quickly becoming one of those projects everyone bookmarks but few actually understand.

Inside, you find a collection of 147 “agents”, each representing a specific role you would normally find in a team, such as:

• A frontend developer

• A product strategist

• A growth marketer

• A copywriter

• A project manager

Each one is defined as a structured set of instructions: how it thinks, what it prioritizes, what kind of output it produces.

When you load one of these agents into Claude and activate it, you’re not adding a feature. You’re effectively saying:

“from now on, behave like this role”

Now you can sit inside a single interface and switch between functions that, until recently, required multiple people.

However, the repo is not valuable “only” because it gives you 147 agents.

It’s valuable because it gives you a modular way to structure work.

Each agent is a function.

And the real leverage doesn’t come from using one of them.

It comes from knowing:

• which ones actually matter

• how to sequence them

• how to pass work between them

You don’t need 147 agents. You need a small set that maps to how a product is actually built and launched.

So instead of walking through the entire repo, I did the filtering for you!

Inside you will find:

1. How to Get Started

2. How to Extract Real Value from The Repo

3. Top 16 Agents You Should Use for Your Startup

4. How to Build a Go-to-Market Using These Agents (Practical Example)

They need a way to stop outsourcing the part that actually matters: diagnosis, prioritization, synthesis, and execution planning.

That used to be the hidden value of an SEO agency.

Not title tags. Not blog posts. Not the monthly PDF nobody read.

The real value was taking scattered inputs such as Search Console data, competitor pages, keyword gaps, messy site structure, weak positioning and turning them into a system someone could actually run.

That is the part Claude changes!

→ it can now compress a huge amount of research, analysis, and operational work into something a founder or small team can run in-house without needing to hand the whole function to an agency.

Give it context. Give it access to the right sources. Point it at your site, your competitors, your Search Console, your product, your pages. Then stop asking it for “SEO tips” and start asking it to diagnose, prioritize, build, and review.

That is what this guide is for.

This is not a giant dump of random prompts. It is a sequenced playbook for founders who want to bring SEO back in-house and use Claude as the system around it.

Inside, I organized 12 prompts into six stages:

1. Diagnose

   Understand where your current SEO performance really stands, what competitors are winning, and where the obvious opportunities are hiding.

2. Fix Quick Wins

   Improve the pages that are already close: page-two rankings, weak CTR, fuzzy positioning, under-optimized money pages.

3. Expand Coverage

   Create the missing assets: use-case pages, comparison pages, persona pages, and content that captures demand you currently miss.

4. Strengthen Positioning

   Use real customer language, competitor reviews, and sentiment patterns to sharpen your message and improve conversion.

5. Build Authority

   Layer in the compounding work: backlinks, entity signals, and external trust that makes rankings harder to dislodge.

6. Measure & Iterate

   Turn all of this into a monthly system instead of a one-off sprint.

Inside you will find:

1. What to Set Up Before Running a Single Prompt

2. How to Connect Your SEO Tools to Claude (optional)

3. The 12 Prompts That Replace Your SEO Strategy

4. 5 Open-Source Claude SEO Skills Worth Using

Hey everybody, welcome back to Product Market Fit.

As you can see, lately I’ve been writing a lot about AI.

Not because it’s trendy, but because I increasingly think this is one of the most important leverage points a founder can develop right now.

AI is becoming an operating layer for specific functions inside a company and finance is probably one of the clearest examples.

Because finance work is → repetitive, analytical, document-heavy, spreadsheet-heavy, and full of workflows where the real bottleneck is rarely raw intelligence.

So this piece is about one simple question: what does it actually look like to use Claude in a very practical way for finance?

With this guide, you’ll learn how to set up the most useful finance Projects in Claude, which Skills to use with them, and how to make the whole setup actually save you time.

Here’s the full breakdown:

1. How to Think About Claude for Finance

2. How to Structure Finance Workflows with Claude Projects

3. What the Built-in Finance Skills Actually Do (and When to Use Each One)

4. How to Set Claude Up So It Actually Saves You Time

5. Why Finance Is the Perfect Use Case for Claude

Let’s begin!

As you can see, we are pushing a lot of content about AI.

This is because right now I feel learning all these things are one of the most important things any founder can do.

I’m personally dedicating 70% of my time now to learning AI.

So I’m sharing my research with you.

Let’s go

Anthropic recently shipped Claude Dispatch.

If you’ve seen it around, you’ve probably filed it under “a nice feature”: message Claude from your phone, it runs something on your computer, and you come back later. This is technically what it does, but it’s also reductive.

It only really makes sense when you stop looking at it as a standalone capability.

As a matter of fact, Dispatch can be defined as:

the interface layer of a system that is gradually shifting from a chatbot into something that behaves much closer to an operating system

Dispatch is the signal that Claude is quietly evolving from something you interact with into something that operates on your behalf.

The real product is no longer the model, but the system forming around it.

If you’re not using it, you’re falling behind.

That’s why I prepared a brief guide to explore Claude Dispatch and its role in the broader ecosystem.

Inside you’ll find:

1. How to Look at It (and why the OpenClaw comparison only goes so far)

2. What Claude Dispatch Actually Is

3. What Most People Miss

4. How It All Connects

5. How to Setup Claude Dispatch

6. The 10 Practical Founder Use Cases

7. Key Takeaways

Deel just launched The Pitch, a global startup tournament, for the best founder in the world. The prices:

• 10 startups will each receive a $1M SAFE
• 100 regional winners will each receive $50K SAFEs
• $15M+ total capital deployed

And we’re officially partnering with them to push this to the Market Fit audience 🔥

This isn’t a gimmick. It’s a real funding vehicle.

Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Submit a 5-minute application
2️⃣ Top startups get invited to regional in-person finals
3️⃣ Regional winners get funded
4️⃣ Global finalists compete for $1M

If you want Claude to work properly inside a project, this is one of the first things you need to understand.

Most people start using Claude Code without really knowing what the .claude folder does. They see it in the repo, maybe ignore it, and just start prompting.

That works, but not very well.

The .claude folder is where you configure how Claude behaves in your project.

It is basically the place where you tell Claude:

• how your project works

• what rules it should follow

• what commands it can run

• what workflows it should know

• what it is allowed or not allowed to do

Once this is set up properly, Claude becomes much more useful.

Instead of re-explaining your project every time, Claude already understands the basics.

Instead of randomly doing things its own way, Claude follows your setup.

This guide starts from zero. By the end, you should understand the core parts of the .claude folder and be able to set up a basic version yourself.

What you’ll learn in this guide

In the full guide, I break down:

1. how to make Claude actually understand your codebase

2. how to give it the right instructions, permissions, and workflows

3. how project-level and personal Claude setups work together

4. how commands, rules, skills, and agents each play a different role

5. how to build a simple setup from scratch without overcomplicating it

6. the exact starter structure I’d recommend for most beginners

7. the setup the creator of Claude Code uses

By the end, you’ll have a clean starter setup you can use in a real project immediately.

Garry Tan just published gstack, a full repo designed to run inside Claude Code and structure how you build with AI.

You’ve probably seen it already and underestimated it.

It’s the CEO of Y Combinator effectively saying: “if you’re building with Claude, this is one of the right ways to do it!”

Because this isn’t really about “better prompts.” It’s about a better operating model, one that forces you to:

• think before you build

• validate before you ship

• structure your work instead of improvising inside a chat

Most people use Claude in a messy way because they jump straight into generation ending up with an output that feels productive but doesn’t actually move the product forward.

And in this guide, I’ll show you both sides of it:

• how to install the repo and use it in practice inside Claude Code

• how to read it the right way, like YC intends it (not just a folder full of commands)

Inside you’ll find:

1. How to get started and get it running inside Claude Code

2. What Most People Miss About Gstack and the Core Cycle Behind It

3. How to Use Each Skill Properly (and in the Right Order)

4. How to use the key skills in a real product flow (A practical example)

5. What Garry Tan Is Actually Showing You Here (Key Takeaways)

Everyone is using AI.

But if you pay attention, most people are still using it in a very narrow way. They open ChatGPT or Claude, type a request, and wait for something usable to come back.

“Write this”
”Analyze that”
”Give me ideas”

It works. It feels fast. Sometimes it even feels like leverage.

But after a while, something starts to flatten out. The outputs are fine, often clean, occasionally polished—but they rarely feel like they move the needle.

They don’t change how you think about the problem. They don’t lead to better decisions.

That’s not really a limitation of the models.

It’s more about how little happens before the answer.

The shift most people haven’t noticed yet

There’s a shift happening in how these systems are meant to be used.

It’s not loud. It’s not packaged as a feature. But if you look at how both OpenAI and Anthropic talk about their tools, it’s there.

Less “ask and get an answer” and more “work through a problem with the model”.

One of the simplest ways to move in that direction is something called Socratic Prompting.

The idea is straightforward, but the effect is disproportionate.

Instead of asking the model to produce something immediately, you slow the interaction down just enough to think first. You guide the model through a series of questions that clarify what you’re actually trying to do, surface the assumptions you’re making, and explore alternatives before any answer is given.

Take something simple.

You could ask:

“Write a newsletter about AI agents”

And you’ll get something reasonable.

Or you could take a slightly different path:

“Before writing anything, help me think this through.
What assumptions am I making about AI agents?
What feels overhyped right now?
And where could there be a more interesting angle that people aren’t exploring enough?”

Nothing about the model changes.

But the conversation does. And once the conversation changes, what comes out at the end tends to be very different.

Why this works (and why it’s not just a trend)

At first glance, Socratic Prompting can look like another “prompt trick” circulating online. It isn’t.

There are 3 solid reasons why this approach consistently produces better results:

1. It builds on the Socratic method, a well-established approach in philosophy and education designed to improve reasoning by exposing hidden assumptions and refining questions rather than jumping to conclusions

2. it aligns with how modern language models actually perform best. Research and practical experimentation have shown that LLMs generate more reliable and nuanced outputs when guided through structured reasoning processes

3. it reflects where the industry itself is heading. Both OpenAI and Anthropic are increasingly emphasizing structured interaction, iterative reasoning, and context design over one-shot prompts.

In this guide, we will cover:

1. When Socratic Prompting is actually useful (and when it isn’t)

2. The core framework behind it

3. A small detail that changes the interaction

4. Where this actually matters for founders

5. A set of 25 Socratic prompts you can immediately reuse

Anthropic just launched Claude Skills. No one is ready for this.

Everyone is using AI. Almost nobody is using it properly.

Most people open Claude or ChatGPT and start every conversation the exact same way:

“Act as a marketing expert…”
“Write in this tone…”
“Use this format…”

Again. And again. And again.

It’s like hiring the smartest employee on Earth… and forcing them to redo onboarding every single day.

Completely insane.

The real power of AI is not better prompts. It’s building systems.

Systems where AI already knows:

• how you think
• how you write
• how you research
• how you structure work
• how your workflows run

So instead of explaining everything every time… AI just runs the workflow for you.

That’s what Claude Skills unlock.

And once you understand this concept, it’s a complete game changer.

Your AI stops acting like a chatbot… and starts acting like a team of operators running your workflows automatically.

So we built the full playbook 🔥

Inside this guide you’ll get:

• The complete Claude Skills playbook
• How to build your first skill in ~15 minutes
• 10 insanely powerful Claude Skills you should start using today to 100× your productivity

If you use AI daily, this might be one of the highest-leverage ideas you learn this year.

Because once this clicks… your productivity no longer scales with hours worked.

It scales with systems built. 🚀

Everyone, we have officially crossed the threshold.

The race has officially begun, the shift we are about to see is generational 🔥

Perplexity just took its shot at becoming the default “outcome engine” for knowledge work, and it’s FU**ING WILD 🔥

Since launch, I’ve been inside Perplexity Computer nonstop, stress-testing it across real operator tasks.

I can tell you, this is NOT another agent demo.

It feels like taking the best parts of agentic systems and turning them into something actually usable: faster setup, cleaner UI, cloud execution, and 19-model orchestration that routes each subtask to the right model.

The Perplexity team launched this a few days ago, and after 20+ hours of testing it, breaking it, and pushing it to its limits, I figured out how to turn it into real founder leverage, so you don’t have to 😅

So I built:

The Perplexity Computer Founder Guide.

A set of copy-paste workflows that show you how to use Perplexity Computer to do real work end-to-end.

Its simple, you give it ANY project:

• Build a competitive intelligence dashboard.

• Prepare a full investor brief on Fund X.

• Design and deploy a landing page.

• Create a monthly market report with charts.

• Monitor regulatory changes in my industry.

It decomposes the goal into subtasks, routes each to the model best suited for it (research, reasoning, coding, design, video, etc.), connects to your tools, runs them in parallel, and delivers structured outputs.

All in one system. Running in the cloud.

A concrete example

This is the core shift: AI as an execution coordination machine.

[MUST WATCH👇]

Who This Is For

If your work involves ANY SORT OF:

• finance

• strategy

• research

• fundraising

• sales & GTM (competitive analysis)

• hiring

• market analysis

• operator-level decision making

learning how to use this properly is no longer optional.

People who don’t will fall behind quickly, not because they’re less smart, but because they literally operate in a slower paradigm. The baseline just moved, a lot.

Want to stay employable and competitive?

This is what changed, and how to stay on the right side of it:

PART I: What Perplexity Computer Is & How To Use It Properly From Day One

Perplexity Computer is a cloud system that breaks a defined goal into subtasks, assigns each to the most suitable model, uses web/files/connectors when needed, and returns a finished deliverable.

It’s built for end-to-end projects, not isolated answers, and today were going to show you how to do this 🔥

But before we talk workflows, you need to understand what this actually is. If you misunderstand the architecture, you’ll use it like a chatbot.

1. Massively Multi-Model Orchestration (Yes, 19 Models)

There are two types of founders raising right now.

The ones “working on their round”.

And the ones engineering it like a f*ckin weapon.

The difference isn’t intelligence or network or even luck.

It’s structure.

Most founders treat fundraising like a creative side quest. They open PowerPoint. They guess at numbers. They start building a list of “cool VCs.” Weeks go by, momentum dies and the round never really gets off the ground.

Meanwhile, a small group of operators are running fundraising like a system:

Their narrative is structured before design.
Their financial model is logic-first, not vibes-first.
Their investor list is thesis-aligned before the first email goes out.

Why? They’re using the right tool.

So what did I do 😅? I built:

The Ultimate AI Fundraising Copilot powered by Claude 🔥

This will rebuild your entire fundraising stack from the ground up:

1. Architectures your end-to-end business model before you touch Excel

2. Builds your deck like an investment memo, not a founder rant

3. Maps and personalizes your investor distribution like a growth engine

This is high-leverage fundraising.

Raising capital isn’t one task. It’s three core systems working together:

• Financial logic

• Narrative control

• Targeted distribution

If even one of those is weak, your round drags. If all three are engineered, your round compresses.

The exact system you can plug into your raise to tighten your numbers, sharpen your story, and turn investor outreach into a machine.
