Define its role, personality and job description, then create a permanent “second brain” for business knowledge.

Day 2: Teach It About You

Train the system on your business, goals, contacts, communication style and priorities.

The system includes workflows for:

• Morning briefings
• Drafting email replies
• Meeting preparation
• Accountability and promise tracking
• Finding forgotten emails
• Detecting potential business risks
• Blocking calendar time
• Evening summaries
• Weekly performance reports
• Updating its memory from feedback

Training and Resources Included

• Day 0 installation and setup kit
• Templates, prompts and configuration files

Who Is This Challenge For?

The program is designed for entrepreneurs, ecommerce sellers, consultants and business operators who already have a real project or company where the system can be applied.

It is suitable for beginners but requires a commitment of approximately 30–60 minutes daily for five days.

Schedule and Software Notice

The advertised round runs from August 24–28, 2026. Because the lessons are pre-recorded, students can follow the material at their own pace, although time-limited WhatsApp support may depend on joining the scheduled round.

Claude access and integrations with third-party business tools may require separate subscriptions or permissions.
