Most people are using Claude like a smarter Google search and missing 90% of what it can actually do.
In this video, I show you how I use Claude across every part of my business to save hours every single day, write code, run my calendar, and even ship work while I sleep. If you’re paying for Claude and only using a fraction of it, this is the video that pays for itself in week one.

Key Insights
Most people open Claude and use it like a fancy Google search. That’s like buying a Ferrari and only driving it 10 km an hour. I build AI products every single day through my company Martel Ventures and I heavily use Claude in all my work. So, I’m going to walk you through 16 Claude hacks that will save you hours of time, grow your business, very important, and boost your productivity in ways that will blow your freaking mind. Let’s get into it. Number one, the memory import. See, if you are still stuck on Chat GPT, so sorry to hear. Now, we got to migrate you over, but you don’t want to lose your contacts. It’ll bring over everything, your preferences, your history, and it’ll transfer it over like that. It’s a simple way to import everything you’ve done in Chat GPT and bring it over to Claude in less than 2 minutes. We go to our settings, we go to capabilities, and then start import. Claude then gives you a prompt and then you paste it into Chat GPT, then it gives you everything it knows about you. Got you. So, you take the output and paste it back into the Claude box, you click add to memory and voila, tout fini, you’re done. Hack number two, model selector. Claude has three different power levels essentially and you got to pick the right one for the right job. So, you click the model selector at the bottom right and then you see we’ve got Haiku. This is your cheapest and fastest model. Then you’ve got Sonnet, best for everyday tasks. You’ve got Opus, that’s best for complex tasks. Or you can select this little adaptive thinking thing so it picks automatically depending on the task so you don’t have to think, but then you don’t have as much control. I like to set my own control. So, for example, if you’re looking for patterns and metrics, Opus crushes. It thinks way harder. If you’re drafting an email response, Sonnet, it’s awesome. And my favorite part, it’s faster and it can give you different options. If you’re trying to summarize 50 meeting notes, it’s just a bunch of data, Haiku, instant, done in seconds. Next, hack number three, the Gmail connector. Dan, is it secure? Your security at home is a bazillion times less security than the team at Claude. I just want you to know that. So, stop asking me if it’s secure and start using the tools to make yourself some money. You should just not be touching your inbox. You can literally do all your email through Claude. But first, we got to connect it. You go to customize in the sidebar, connectors, then choose Gmail, then log into it. Super easy. Click, log in, it’s added. I ask Claude to find stuff, summarize it, draft replies for me, and for what it’s worth, the Gmail inbox search sucks. So, how about we get the AI to search for us. If you want a cheat code and you have an assistant, what I do is I have a Claude account that is for my assistant and I. I’ve connected to my inbox and they can use that to search my inbox through our shared Claude account so that she can self-serve on any questions she would normally ask me, she can find it in my inbox. Power move. Hack number four, calendar connector. Similar, but different. Let me tell you why. Essentially, Claude connects your Google calendar and it can do a lot of cool stuff. Yes, it can schedule things. It can help you with meetings. It can find your free time. But even more important, it can help you analyze your time. So, same thing. We go to the same place on the sidebar, connectors, Google calendar, log in. Now, I can go into Claude and add something like, “Add 1 hour time block sometime before Friday for me to review our next YouTube outline.” It then creates the time block and let me know why it picked that time. An advanced move is to give it your goals for the quarter, maybe for the year, and then say, “Analyze my calendar, now analyze my email cuz you got that, too, and see if I’m spending the right amount of time on the projects to achieve those goals.” Now, it became a business coach. And these are only two connect
