Welcome to the best community for contractors to learn how to use AI. We’re just getting started, so enjoy it completely FREE. Introduce yourself below 👇 👷 1) What trade or role are you in? ⚡️ 2) What your goal is 😎 3) Something about you... This community exists because every contractor deserves access to the same AI systems the big operators use, without the big price tag. DIAL IN. 💪

Sunday afternoon. You're not working, but you're not off either. The week is just sitting there. Three quotes to get out, the guy who never called back about the framing, the invoice you keep meaning to chase, your kid's thing on Wednesday. Monday's alarm goes off and your heart's pounding from stress before it's even pounding from your extra large double double. One consistency among top performing contractors we've worked with is how effectively they use their calendar. I'm not saying every week you're forced to follow it exactly, this is construction after all. But the power of the calendar is in the art of planning how you're going to spend your time on the most important activities this week to move your business forward. And AI is the perfect tool to help you dial in your priorities and put it in writing. STEPS: 1. Hit the plus button in the bottom left of the Claude chat. 2. Hover over Connectors, then Add Connector, then Browse Connectors. 3. Connect to either your Google Calendar or Microsoft 365, depending on what you use. 4. Run the prompt below. 5. Then dump it out. Open Claude on your phone, hit the microphone, and talk for five minutes. Don't organize it, don't make it make sense. Work, personal, all of it. Then it sorts into four piles, and each pile gets a different action. ‼️ Urgent and important. You do these. Claude puts them on the calendar first, on the days their deadlines actually fall. ❗ Important but not urgent. Hiring, pricing, chasing the good GC, fixing how you quote. This is the work that grows the business and it never screams at you. It gets a real block in whatever space is left. If it's not on the calendar it isn't happening. ⚠️ Urgent but not important. Someone else should be doing this. Claude asks who, then writes the message you send to hand it off. If there's nobody to hand it to, it asks how you do it now and looks for what could be automated later. 🗑️ Noise. Stuff you should just let go. Then it writes the week and starts sliotting your tasks and activities into your calendar. You review it before anything goes on the calendar. Don't let it book blind.

This week we met with Scott. We showed him Scelta Extract, our AI-first field management platform and how he can use AI to generate his end of day report. The math: - Writing the report into his project management software usually takes 45 minutes. - With Claude + Extract, now it takes 5. - 40 minutes a day x 5 days is 200 minutes a week - 200 x 52 weeks is 10,400 minutes, so 173.33 hours - Assume a $50 rate, x 173 is $8,666.66 a year (rounded the cents) From just ONE daily workflow. Here's how it flowed: 1. We uploaded the template of his past end of day reports to Claude 2. He talked to AI about what happened that day 3. It generated the report and filled it in on his Extract app for him 4. We asked Claude to turn it into a skill 5. Now he runs the skill every day at the end of the day Pick one workflow you do everyday, turn it into a skill. The savings add up quickly.

We built a skill that builds the brain with you. It interviews you like a colleague would: what is your role, what do you actually do all day, and then maps your divisions and writes the files. 1. Download the skill. One file, right from this page. 2. Drop it into Claude. Drag and drop, any conversation. 3. Answer the interview. Your role, your people, how work flows. 4. Tweak the map. It proposes your divisions and processes. You correct it. 5. It writes the brain. Every file, plus the index that links them. Or you can copy the prompt below. Happy Brain building everyone 💪 ___________________________________ "I just attended Scelta's Company Brain session. I want you to map the skeleton of my company brain. Do NOT create any files yet - this is mapping only. Interview me one question at a time, like a curious colleague. Start with: what is my role, and what do I actually do all day? Then work outward: what the company builds or sells, who does what, and how work actually flows from first phone call to final invoice to paid. As you learn, map my company into six divisions - Sales, Marketing, Operations, Accounting, Finance, Field. Under each, identify the repeatable processes I run (the 8-12 that matter most per division). For each process, note who owns it today and roughly how it starts, runs, and ends - but do not write any files. When the interview winds down, show me the full skeleton as a tree: divisions, then processes, flagging the ones that live only in someone's head. That list is what we will build into files later." ___________________________________

Hey everyone! Today is our first Saturday edition of our live call. For those unable to attend this Tuesday, I'll be reviewing scheduled tasks to show how we can have Claude Cowork help us automatically update files in our estimating folder, such as material pricing lists. See you soon!
