[0:00] For the past couple of months, I've been
[0:01] using Claude Co-work as the central hub
[0:03] for my entire business. And this works
[0:05] out really well because I can connect it
[0:07] up with many of the apps I already use.
[0:10] Things like Gmail, Google Drive, Notion,
[0:12] and Asana, for instance. But there's a
[0:14] problem with these connectors. Some of
[0:16] them just don't do that much. For
[0:19] instance, it can draft an email for you,
[0:21] but it won't send it. And it can read
[0:23] your Google Sheets, but it can't update

[0:27] found a tool that fixes that. And once I
[0:30] set this up, Claude Co-work went from

[0:34] employee that can genuinely run parts of
[0:37] my business on autopilot.

[0:46] customize,
[0:47] and then click on connectors. If you
[0:49] click on this plus icon, you'll see all
[0:52] of the connectors that natively work
[0:54] with Claude Co-work.
[0:55] Here, for instance, you can see I have
[0:57] my Gmail connected. So if I come over to
[1:01] a new task and ask it to summarize the
[1:04] last few emails that I received, it can
[1:06] do that. If I ask it to
