Welcome back to Watch Me AI
International Women's Day is this Saturday, and I've got a lot lined up for you this week.
First — I'm building a special Claude bonus for the AI Business Playbook. If you've been curious about the Playbook, this is going to be the week to grab it. More details dropping Thursday.
Second — I'm running four free live sessions between now and March 13, all focused on building real things with AI:
- Build an AI Agent with Me - March 5, 10am PT
Learn how to build a real AI agent using Relay – the kind that takes an input, thinks through what to do, and executes the steps automatically. No coding required. You’ll leave with a working agent and ideas you can steal for your own work. Sign up here.
- Get Ready for Free Lovable Day - March 5, 12pm PT
Lovable (a tool that lets you build apps and websites without writing code) is giving out free credits on March 8 for International Women’s Day. This session gets you prepped and confident so you can hit the ground running that day. Sign up here.
- Build with Me: Free Lovable on IWD - March 8, 10am PT
This is the main event. Lovable credits are free all day, and we’re building together live. Bring an idea, start from scratch, or just follow along. I’ll take a project from concept to working app and you can do the same. Sign up here.
- Turn Your Lovable Build Into a Business - March 13, 12pm PT
You made something. Now what? This session covers how to tell if your build has real business potential, simple ways to monetize without needing a huge audience, and how to validate demand before going all in. Sign up here.
All four are free. All on Zoom. Open to everyone (men too).

If you know someone who should be in the room -- a colleague, a friend, a woman on your team who keeps saying she wants to learn this stuff -- send them this email or share the link. It might be the thing that gets someone started.
It's time to switch to Claude
If you've been reading this newsletter for a while, you know I've usually avoided telling people which general AI tool to use. My advice has always been: pick one of the leaders (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) and go deep. The memory you build up, the context it learns about you, the workflows you develop -- that's where the real value is. Not the tool itself.
I'm changing that advice today.
It's time to switch to Claude.
I've been using Claude as my primary AI tool for two months now, after being a ChatGPT-first user for 24+ months. The gap has been consistent enough, for long enough, that I'm now comfortable recommending Claude directly.
Caveat: This is the AI world. ChatGPT could launch a new model tomorrow that changes the math. That has happened before and it will happen again. But two months is a long time in AI, and Claude has been meaningfully better for my work the entire stretch.
Why switch?
The short version: Claude is a better writer, it has stronger integrations with the tools I already use, and it can do full tasks for me -- not just answer questions. The overall quality of what I get back is noticeably higher, and it has been for months.
But rather than just tell you why, let me show you what I'm actually doing with it, and how to easily make the switch.
What I’m actually doing with Claude
To give you a sense of what “switched to Claude” looks like in practice, here’s how it shows up in my week right now.
Projects are my operating system.
I have a Project set up for every client, one for my online course, one for this newsletter, and one called “Business Building” where I do everything from financial planning to daily to-do lists. Each one has instructions and reference files uploaded, so Claude always has context.
Claude is my executive assistant.
Inside my Business Building project, I have one conversation I use many times a day. I’ve gotten Claude to build me a visual dashboard with tabs for my financial projections, weekly scorecard, pipeline, sprint plan, and to-do list. Every morning I open it and say “what am I supposed to do today?” or rattle off what’s in my head, and we make a plan for the day together.
I build almost every document in Claude now.
Especially slides. Client updates, end-of-project summaries, live event decks – I create them all in Claude. It can export as Google Slides or PowerPoint, but my favorite method is HTML: I open it right in my browser and it works as a scrollable presentation. They look great, and the turnaround is minutes instead of hours.
Skills for instant branding.
Skills are like detailed, repeatable prompts saved inside Claude. I built one called “Watch Me AI Branding” with all of my brand rules. Now anytime I create a document in Claude – which I do constantly – I just say “apply my branding” and get a beautifully formatted version in one step. I’ve built these for clients too, and I recommend everyone create one for their own brand.
This newsletter was written with Claude Code.
Claude Code is the techie version of Claude, but is actually quite approachable. I have a workflow set up with all of my past newsletters, my voice guide, and a set of rules (has this topic been covered recently, am I repeating formats, that kind of thing). When I sit down to write, Claude already knows the full history and helps me brainstorm, draft, and edit in one place.
It connects to my other tools.
Claude integrates with Granola (my meeting note-taker), my email, my calendar, and Google Drive. I can say “pull together the full story of my project with this client” and it goes into Granola, finds every relevant meeting, and pieces together the whole narrative. No copy-pasting. No switching tabs.
None of this requires technical skills. And every single one of these workflows is getting added to the Playbook this week!
How to switch (it takes about 10 minutes)
The biggest barrier people mention is memory. All the context ChatGPT has learned about you over months of conversations. You don’t want to start from zero.
Anthropic just solved that.
- Step 1: Open Claude’s memory import. Go to your Claude settings (Settings > Capabilities > Memory) and click “Start import.” Or look for the “Import memory” card on your Claude home screen and click “Get started.”
- Step 2: Export your ChatGPT memory. Claude gives you a prompt to copy. Paste that prompt into ChatGPT, and it will list out everything it knows about you – your preferences, your work context, your recurring tasks – in one block of text.
- Step 3: Paste it into Claude. Copy that output, paste it into Claude’s import box, and click “Add to memory.” That’s it. Your context comes with you. No file exports, no technical steps. Copy, paste, done.
A few notes: this feature is still experimental, so Claude may not pick up every detail. It also focuses on work-related context, so very personal memories may not carry over. But for most people, it covers the important stuff.
A few more ways to ramp up:
- Set up a Project. Create a Project in Claude and upload the documents you reference most – brand guidelines, your offer details, writing samples, whatever you use regularly. This gives Claude persistent context that goes way beyond what memory alone can do.
- Use it for real work for one week. Make yourself use Claude as your default for five straight days. Try creating presentations, build a brand skill, ask it what else it can do for you. I'm positive you'll see the difference.
Everything I just walked through — the Projects, the dashboard, the Skills, the integrations — is laid out step by step in the AI Business Playbook.
And remember that special Claude bonus I mentioned at the top? It's designed to help you set up exactly what I described in this issue. Details coming Thursday. If you've been thinking about the Playbook, this is the week.
Until next time,
Mollie
