You don't need to be technical. You just need to start.
Here's the path โ one step at a time.
Don't know where to start? One small step at a time. Shipping to learn is the best way to approach it.
These aren't required steps โ they're gateways. Each one unlocks a new level of what Claude can do for you. Come back to them once you've built a habit with the basics.
Claude is an easy home base. But depending on what you're building, these products are worth trying on too.
Here are some personal favorites open sourcing as they build on X, YouTube, and other social media platforms.
These were all built by real people, in HR use cases, with no coding background โ starting from zero. This is your proof of concept.
Start with one thing. One task that's been sitting on your list. Give it to Claude and see what happens. Below are prompts to get started.
Copy, fill in the brackets, and go. High-leverage prompts worth having in your back pocket.
Give Claude access to your calendar and email history, then ask it to surface the highest-leverage wins. Great starting point if you're not sure where to begin.
When you have a problem but not a solution yet. Claude asks clarifying questions before jumping in โ which means you end up with something that actually fits.
For when you want to build something more sophisticated โ a recurring workflow, an automated brief, a custom assistant. This turns your rough idea into a full spec.
Use Claude as a thinking partner before a board prep, leadership offsite, or big People initiative. Faster and more candid than most internal feedback.
Skip the hours of research. Claude can synthesise what leading companies do on almost any HR topic โ and apply it to your context.
Drop these in whenever you need to steer Claude. No new prompt required.
You've seen the path. You've seen what's possible. Now it's your turn to build something.
