For a while the only way to wire an AI into your Meta ads was sketchy third party tools that could get your account flagged. Meta just closed that gap. They built their own connector, so Claude can plug straight into your ad account now, sanctioned and free. Once it is on, you stop digging through Ads Manager. You ask in plain English and Claude reads the whole account. A few that earn their keep on day one: - Audit my last 30 days and show the five ad sets bleeding the most money - Which active ad sets spent over fifty dollars this week with zero conversions - Read my three best ads and write ten new headlines in the same voice - Write the weekly report: spend, conversions, blended return, one recommendation Setup runs about ten minutes and most of that is one login. You need a Meta Business Manager with admin access and Claude Pro or Max. One thing to respect: the connector can also change live campaigns, and those edits apply instantly. So let it read and advise all you want, and make the actual changes yourself in Ads Manager until you trust it. Full step by step is attached. Connect it, run an audit, and tell me the worst leak it found in your account.

Most people use about 15 percent of what Claude can do. They open the website, ask a question, close the tab. Here are the 6 features that unlock the rest, and what each one is actually for. 1. Claude Code. Works with the real files on your computer, not just text in a chat box. 2. Claude Cowork. An assistant that works inside one folder alongside you, reading and creating files. 3. Claude in Chrome. Lets Claude use the web for you and click through real sites. 4. Claude in Excel. Formulas, debugging, and quick models in a side panel. 5. Plugins and Skills. Installable bundles most people never turn on, and they are where the real leverage is. 6. Claude Design. Turns one prompt into a working app you can actually open. Pick one and use it on something real this week. You will be ahead of most people by Friday. Which of these have you actually tried? Tell me below and I will point you to where to start. Dusty

Every Sunday I evaluate one new AI tool. The whole protocol fits in 30 minutes. Five steps, hard time-box on each, ends with a three-bucket decision. This Resource is the protocol: → Step 1: The frame test (5 min) → Step 2: The real-task test (10 min) → Step 3: The friction audit (5 min) → Step 4: The price-per-result check (5 min) → Step 5: The verdict (5 min): Keep, Park, or Skip After running this on 50+ tools, I'd estimate fewer than 10% land in Keep. That's the point. The routine is designed to fail tools, not pass them. PDF attached. What tool are you about to test next? Drop it in the comments. If anyone here has already run this protocol on it, they can save you the 30 minutes. Dusty

The "best AI tool" question is the wrong question. The right question is "the best tool per slot, given my budget." This Resource maps the slots: → Writing / editing → Code / dev work → Research / synthesis → Automation / workflows → Visual / media → A few more Then drops in my actual picks across three budget tiers: $25/month, $80/month, $200/month. Same slot list, three configurations. PDF attached. What's the slot that's still unsolved for you? The one where nothing on the market quite fits? Drop it in the comments. Chances are someone here has tested whatever you're about to test. Dusty
