Zero-code. Marketing, Sales and Ops run as three folders on your own machine, each with its own rules, handing work to each other. You approve; you don't type.

  • Plain English in the Claude desktop app. No terminal, no environment setup.
  • 36 lessons, 1h 52m. Every one already published.
  • One real task run through all three departments on screen, end to end.
  • 6 skill files + 4 CLAUDE.md templates. Yours to adapt, or license to resell.

Before you order

Six things people ask before paying $27

01I'm a total beginner and can't code.+
You won't write any. Cowork is Claude's desktop app and every instruction is a sentence in a chat box. The course starts at the download page, and each lesson has a written walkthrough beside the screen recording.
02Do I have to buy Claude Max?+
No. Claude Pro at $20/month covers all 36 lessons and normal daily use. Max only pays off when you're running dozens of tasks a day; lesson 4.2 shows how to stay inside Pro's limits.
03What if I can't keep up?+
Every lesson solves one problem and ships with a guide you can follow line by line. If it still isn't for you, email within 14 days for a full refund. No "less than 10% watched" clause.
04Will this work for my industry?+
The HQ folder and the three-department layout are identical for every business; only the skills and connectors change. Module 3 builds it three times, for a service business, an online store and a consultant, so you copy the closest one.
05How much time does it take?+
1 hour 52 minutes of video. Lesson 2.13 is a 35-minute build-along; do that one once and your first department exists.
06Is it really one payment?+
Yes. Course plus bonuses is one payment, lifetime access, lifetime updates. The checkout shows two optional add-ons. Buy neither and nothing is missing.

What one morning looks like once the three departments exist

This is lesson 3.11, recorded on screen. One customer email goes in; three departments take turns; you read the result over coffee.

08:02 · 4 min
Marketing
Drafts the week's five posts
Reads HQ/brand-facts.md and offers.md, writes to /outbox, flags two claims it wasn't sure about.
08:06 · 3 min
Sales
Answers Tuesday's enquiry
Takes the email thread, drafts the reply and a two-line proposal in your format, attaches the quote sheet.
08:09 · 2 min
Ops
Files the weekly summary
Logs both drafts, updates the open-leads list, writes the Monday status note you'd normally skip.
Who this is not for

And you, if you don't want —

Another course you forget the moment it ends, which leads to sitting at your desk the next morning still not knowing what step one is.
A pile of jargon you'll never use, which leads to knowing what "context window" means and still having no system that runs.
Terminals, environments and error messages, which leads to two days of setup and giving up before anything works.
Three months building something nobody wants, which leads to time, money and confidence gone on a launch that never lands.
Watching competitors run a whole business line solo, which leads to falling further behind every week you keep doing it by hand.

If you do want —

Run it alone
One full business line, nobody on payroll.
Use it, don't study it
Output from Claude without touching code.
Open this month
Something you can charge for in four weeks.
Something to sell
Your logo on the package, a project fee per client.
A system, not memory
Written once in CLAUDE.md; never re-explained.
Start tonight
36 lessons live. Pay, log in, press play.

Then this is built for you.

Marketing, Sales and Ops installed on your own computer in plain conversation, plus a delivery kit you can run your business on or brand and sell. If you want the shortest path to an AI-run business, this is it.

How it works

Not three chats. One HQ, three folders, and rules they all read.

The trick isn't a clever prompt. It's a folder layout Cowork understands, with a CLAUDE.md in each department telling it what to read, what to write, and who to hand off to.

One HQ folder feeding three department folders
HQ/ brand-facts.md · voice.md · offers.md · goals.mdwritten once, read by every department on every task
marketing/
Makes the content
Posts, emails and ad copy drafted from HQ, saved to /outbox, never published without you.
CLAUDE.md · skills/weekly-content.md · skills/email-sequence.md
sales/
Follows the customer
Proposals, replies and follow-ups from a transcript or a thread, in your quote format.
CLAUDE.md · skills/call-to-proposal.md · skills/lead-followup.md
ops/
Keeps the house in order
Research briefs, docs, the weekly summary, the open-leads list.
CLAUDE.md · skills/weekly-summary.md · skills/research-digest.md

What Cowork does well here

  • Reads and writes files in these folders on its own
  • Runs a skill on a schedule (Monday 08:00 content batch)
  • Uses your Gmail, Drive and calendar through connectors
  • Keeps a task going in the background while you work

What it won't do, so we don't pretend

  • Publish anything without you clicking
  • Replace a real salesperson on a live call
  • Run 200 tasks a day on the $20 plan
  • Bulk jobs and automation chains: that's the Claude Code handoff in Bonus 3

Who it's for

One person, or a small team wearing too many hats

Solo creator
Content, comments, sponsor pitches, a course to sell. Marketing writes the posts and copy; you stay the face.
Online store owner
Too many SKUs, listings never finished, emails never answered. Research, listing copy and replies each get a department.
SaaS founder, indie hacker
One-person company, no hiring budget. Three virtual staff from customer research to outreach.
Consultant, coach, trainer
Your method lives in voice.md and offers.md, so every proposal and follow-up sounds like you.
Service business, freelancer
Quotes, meeting recaps and follow-ups handled by Sales. Your time goes to the site visit and the phone call.
Agency, team of 3–10
Few people, many projects. Each person gets the three departments; the shared inbox stops being the bottleneck.
Before the reviews exist

What you can check before you pay

This is a founding cohort. There are no reviews yet, and this page will not show you invented ones. Here is what stands in for them until the first members report back.

The refund, in writing

Fourteen days from purchase, any reason or none, full refund. No "less than 10% watched" clause, no support ticket maze. One email to the address in the footer.

The product, on screen

Every screenshot on this page is the actual course portal, the actual CLAUDE.md files and the actual delivery-kit folder you receive. Nothing is a stock image or someone else's dashboard.

Named reviews, later

Founding members will be asked for a review after they've built their first department, and those go here with a name and a business type. Not before.

Where to ask

Questions before buying go to the same inbox as refunds, answered by a person. The response time will be posted here once there is a track record to post.

Why the price moves

Cowork changes every week. So does this course.

Anthropic shipped about thirty dated Cowork releases between July and September 2026. Each one that touches a lesson gets a re-record, included in your purchase. The founding price ends when the next cohort opens; the date will be written here, not on a timer.
