Big shout out to Kurtis. Kurtis needed to put together proposals for two different companies. Instead of starting from a blank page, he fed each client's website into Claude, told it the sales psychology he wanted to apply, and used it to research and model the communication style of the sales leaders he follows online. Then he ran it back and forth between Claude and Manus until the proposals were exactly where he wanted them — with psychological sales principles baked in. Two polished, customized proposals. That's AI for Contractors working at the deal table. Tools: Claude + Manus. https://manus.im/ https://claude.ai/ Try this before your next proposal: 1. Feed your prospect's website into Claude and ask it to identify what they care most about and how they talk about their work. 2. Name a sales communicator you respect and ask Claude to break down what makes their style effective. 3. Ask Claude to apply those principles to your proposal — the framing, the sequencing, the language. 4. Run the draft back and forth until it sounds like you, not a template.

Big shout out to Jake for attending this past week’s AI for contractors call. Jake's job runs on meetings, so he built an automated system that handles everything around them. At the start of each week, it looks at his calendar and creates a Notion page for every single meeting automatically. Then at the end of every day, it processes those pages, organizes them into folders, pulls out the context and action items, and drops them straight onto his to-do list. Instead of manually filing or chasing notes, everything is exactly where it needs to be before the next day starts. That's AI for Contractors turning admin into infrastructure. Tool: Claude + Notion https://claude.ai/ https://www.notion.com/ Try this with your weekly meetings: 1. Connect Claude to your calendar and Notion and ask it to create a meeting page for every event in your upcoming week. 2. After each meeting, drop in your notes and ask it to pull out context and action items. 3. Set up an end-of-day workflow that files each meeting into the right folder automatically. 4. Ask it to take every action item and add it to your to-do list — so nothing falls through the cracks overnight Drop a comment if this would change how you run your week!

Big Shout out to Keith at Young Electric. Keith shared that Young Electric used Claude to run its employee review process this week. Instead of manually typing notes into Gmail and revisiting old emails later, he used Claude to take the review conversations, put the notes into his templates, generate the writeups, and schedule each employee’s goals and follow-up timing for next year. He said the result was that everything is now captured in one system, including projects, so he can keep building on it year over year rather than starting from scratch. Keith was able to replace a fragmented Gmail-based process with a reusable system. Tool: Claude https://claude.ai/ Try this during your next employee review: 1. Paste in notes from each employee review conversation. 2. Ask Claude to format those notes into a review template. 3. Ask Claude to draft the follow-up email. 4. Ask Claude to turn each employee’s goals into a checklist with follow-up dates for next year Drop a comment if this would save you time!

Shoutout to Shamus & Andrew at Four Leaf Homes. They onboarded a 7-person demolition crew in under an hour, without burning half a day on jobsite orientation. Here's how they did it. They dropped their project drawings, scope, and 6–10 jobsite photos into a free tool called NotebookLM. Out came two things: a slide deck the crew walked through, and an audio overview they listened to the day before. Foreman had all of the job information before the first truck rolled. Crew was ready inside 24 hours of first contact. Tool: NotebookLM (free, notebooklm.google.com) Try this on your next jobsite: 1. Open NotebookLM, sign in with your Google account, click New notebook. 2. Drag in your drawings, scope, addendums, and 6–10 jobsite photos. 3. In Studio (left hand side), generate the audio overview. 4. In Studio (left hand side), generate the slide deck. 5. Read both before you send anything to your foreman. AI is a tool, not the foreman. You know the job. Catch what's wrong, fix it, then ship it. Half a day back, every time a new crew steps on site Drop a comment if you tried this !
