What you can do

  • Plan supplier payments for the week

    You give Claude your list of unpaid supplier invoices with due dates, amounts and the cash you expect to have. It returns a draft payment schedule in a table, with urgent invoices first and a note on anything that does not fit the available cash.

  • Draft a tax and reporting deadline calendar

    You give the AI your company's reporting duties, tax regime and the official deadline rules you rely on. You get back a draft month-by-month calendar to check against the official sources before you use it.

  • Plan a monthly content calendar

    You give the AI your goals, audience, key dates and the channels you post on. You get back a draft calendar as a table, with post ideas, formats and publish dates, ready for you to review and adjust.

  • Draft a simple cash forecast

    Give the AI your recent sales and expense figures plus known upcoming bills and payments. You get back a month-by-month cash table with a short note on weeks where money may run tight, which you check against your own records.
