25 ready-to-copy recipes that turn the tools you're already paying for into a team that works while you don't.
The first time I strung two of my tools together and let Claude do the connecting, I got back a week's content plan before my coffee went cold. I didn't build anything new. I just pointed Claude at what was already sitting in my Drive and my Kit account.
That's what a connector does. Your AI opens the tools you already pay for, pulls what it needs, and hands you back finished work. No copying, no pasting. I build in Claude, and every recipe here also runs in ChatGPT with its plugins, which is ChatGPT's name for connectors. Pick a recipe below and put it to work today.
Two minutes of setup, once per tool. That's it.
In Claude: Settings, then Connectors. In ChatGPT, the same menu is called Plugins.
Click Connect, sign in. You never do this again.
Paste any prompt below. Approve the first-run permission.
Every recipe makes the same three moves:
Your AI opens your tool and gets the data itself.
You get finished work back: a draft, a plan, a list.
Put it on a schedule. It runs without you.
Brand new? Start with a ⭐ recipe: The Inbox Triage, The Batch Day Finder, or The Subject Line Split Test. One tool each, finished result on the first try.
Most tools in this playbook are built in: Gmail, Google Calendar, Canva, Shopify, Notion, and more. Find them in the connector list (the plugin list in ChatGPT), click Connect, sign in, done.
A few tools, like Kit, connect through an MCP server address instead. Choose the custom connector option, paste the address from the tool's documentation, and sign in the same way. Two extra clicks, same result.
Check the connector shows as connected in Settings, and sign in again if it dropped. Name the tool the way the connector is named. The first run asks permission, approve it once. If a tool isn't in the list, it doesn't have a connector yet. Start with one that does.
You choose which tools to connect, and the first run of any recipe asks your permission again.
A connector reaches the one account you signed into. Nothing else.
Every pull and every draft happens in the chat, in front of you. Nothing sends without you.
One click in Settings removes a tool's access completely.
Install it once and Claude or ChatGPT knows all 25 recipes by name. It checks your connectors, personalizes the prompt, runs the recipe, and offers to put it on a schedule, so you never have to remember how any of this works.
From your welcome email, or the button below.
In Claude: Settings, Capabilities, Skills, upload. In ChatGPT, Skills are a toggle inside the Plugins menu. Ten seconds, one time.
Name a recipe or describe a problem. It does the rest.
Things you can say once it's installed:

Pick any two tools. I'll write the starter recipe.
Every recipe works as a one-off prompt. The shift is when it runs without you: a scheduled task runs it at a set time and has the work waiting, and a Skill locks in your instructions so it runs the same way every time. In ChatGPT, the same two moves are scheduled tasks and custom GPTs. That's step 3 on every card.
I'm the founder of Empowered Business™, and I came to this work the long way. I started in corporate marketing with an MBA in finance and years in brand management, built my business on the side until I went all in back in 2016, and have spent the decade since teaching more than 60,000 students, growing a newsletter past 20,000 readers, and generating over $8M in revenue from my own digital products.
I was early to AI, back when most of the creator space was still deciding whether it counted, and connectors are the part of it I lean on hardest. My whole focus now is helping digital product creators run their businesses without a team, and these 25 recipes came out of that work. Each one was designed from my own experience wiring these tools together, then shaped for the way digital product creators work every day.
I live in Buffalo, New York with my two daughters, and on fall Sundays you will find me watching the Bills. Every other day of the week, this is what I do: figure out what a one-person business can hand off to AI, prove it works, and then hand it to you.
