Sound familiar?

Most small businesses know AI could help — they just don't have time to figure out where to start.

1

"We bought AI tools nobody uses"

Subscriptions sit idle because no one showed the team how to apply them to real, everyday work.

2

"We're worried about data & security"

You need clear answers on what's safe to share, how business data is handled, and sensible usage policies.

3

"We don't know what's actually possible"

Drafting proposals, analyzing spreadsheets, answering customer emails — you need someone to map AI to your workflows.

We build your business's memory into Claude

Every engagement centers on one durable asset: your Business Memory — a knowledge base inside Claude loaded with your services, pricing, brand voice, policies, and FAQs. So Claude answers like your business, not a generic chatbot. It compounds as you grow, and it's yours to keep when we leave.

How it works

From first call to a trained team in as little as two weeks.

  1. Free consultation

    A 30-minute call to understand your business, your tools, and where AI can save you the most time.

  2. Assessment & roadmap

    We audit your workflows and deliver a prioritized plan: what to automate first, which Claude plan fits, and what it will cost.

  3. Setup & integration

    We configure accounts, permissions, and security settings, and connect Claude to the tools you already use.

  4. Training & handoff

    Hands-on workshops with your team using your real work — not generic demos — plus playbooks they can reference later.

Who you'll be working with

ClaudeReady is run by Cody Driscoll, who has spent years building enterprise-grade workflows for small and mid-sized businesses inside QuickBooks and Mailchimp — the same tools your business runs on every day. That means no generic AI demos: Claude gets set up around your actual invoicing, bookkeeping, and customer communication. Connect on LinkedIn →

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions every business owner asks.

Do we need to be technical to use Claude?
No. Claude works through plain conversation. Our training focuses on your team's actual daily tasks — writing, analysis, customer communication — so everyone is productive from day one.
Is our business data safe?
We set you up on Claude's business plans, which include admin controls and data protections, and we establish clear internal guidelines for what your team should and shouldn't share.
What does Claude itself cost?
Claude's business plans are billed per seat by Anthropic (separate from our fees). On our first call we'll recommend the right plan and seat count for your team size and budget.
How long does setup take?
Starter Setup is typically live within one week. Team Enablement runs two to three weeks depending on scheduling for training workshops.
What happens when Claude gets something wrong?
Nothing goes to a customer without a human looking at it. We set up every workflow with review checkpoints — Claude drafts, your team approves. You stay in control of everything that leaves the building.
Will AI make our business feel impersonal?
The opposite, done right. We train Claude on your voice so drafts sound like you — and your team spends less time typing and more time on the personal touches customers actually notice.
What if it doesn't stick with our team?
Adoption is the whole point of our approach — training on your real workflows, playbooks your team keeps, and post-launch support. If usage lags, the Ongoing Partner plan includes monthly check-ins to fix it.
