A solo business owner shares a no-code playbook for replacing five full-time roles with Claude desktop.
- Setup: connect existing email, calendar, and payment tools via Settings → Connectors in the Claude desktop app.
- The 5 hires: an assistant (daily morning briefing), a bookkeeper, a project manager, an analyst, and an office manager — each taking over a box on the author's butcher-paper map of every job she used to do alone.
- Approach: hand over roles one at a time; the author claims the barrier is no higher than training an intern.
A first-hand workflow writeup covering tool wiring, role division, and the prompts/briefs behind each virtual hire.
