Delegate with Claude

Replace 10+ tools with one AI

You're Managing Tools,
Not Your Work

Wake up. Check Slack. Sift through Gmail. Open Notion. Jump into Asana. Skim your calendar. Look at Linkedin. Copy-paste between ChatGPT and a Google Doc.

Software forces us to conform.

Overwhelmed by too many tools

Chef Claude

What if you deleted your apps?

Earlier this year, a friend told me his CEO—who'd never written a line of code—was running their company from a code editor. Since then, I've deleted almost all of my software tools and run everything from Claude Code.

I set the direction. Claude executes.

Your files and AI in one place.

Hi, I'm Derek Larson

I run New York AI. For the past 8 months, I've run my businesses with Claude Code and text files. I wrote an essay about it—hundreds of people reached out asking how to migrate.

This course is the result.

No. If you can create a folder and copy-paste, you are ready.

What do I need?

A computer and a Claude Pro or Max subscription ($20/month+). The course supports both Claude Code (Mac, Windows, Linux) and Co-Work (Mac only). We walk you through everything.
