Claude Command Center: Stop Drowning in Email, Slack, and To-Do Lists

AI Queens: Smart AF AI Tools, Automation, & Business Tips with Erika Stanley

Show Notes

Queens, this one is all about getting your whole day sorted before you even roll out of bed. Fresh off the Buildathon, Erika walks you through the Claude Command Center she built using Claude co-work. It's one central spot that pulls in everything coming at you, your email, calendar, Slack, Notion, all of it, and uses AI to prioritize your day so you know exactly what to tackle first. If you have a neuro-spicy brain that freezes up when the to-do list gets long, this one's for you.

This is the quick and dirty version of what went down at the Buildathon, plus a free resource so you can build your own.

What we cover:

Why you need one centralized command center instead of a dozen scattered apps and notes

Setting it up step by step: the desktop app, a single safe folder, and connecting just your email and calendar to start

The six questions Claude asks to learn your priorities, your VIPs, and what wins when things compete for your attention

How to lock it in with a markdown memory file so Claude runs it the same way every time

Scheduling it as an autonomous task that runs on its own (Erika's goes off at 5:55 AM to save on tokens)

The whole point is to set it up once and let it run without you. Dip your toes in with something this simple and you'll start seeing all the other ways you can put AI to work for you. Give it a try this week.

Queens, if you have been telling yourself that Claude Code is for developers and not for you, this one is going to change your mind. Hope Norton spent over 20 years in telecom sales at companies like Verizon and T-Mobile before founding Norton Mobility to help small and mid-sized fleets make smarter technology decisions. She had never coded a thing. Then a former sales engineer sat her down at a Starbucks and told her to open Claude Code and brain dump her idea. One weekend later, she had built Compliance Hub, a tool that is now live on her website and helping trucking companies manage drivers, trucks, and DOT compliance in one place.

Queens, if your AI agrees with every idea you bring it, you have a problem.

Queens, running a business can feel like living on an island. The fastest way I have found to learn AI is to get in a room with other women who are learning, building, and staying curious.

Queens, what would it take for your business to keep running without you in the room?
