HI AND WELCOME TO

AI & ChatGPT Central

In today’s edition, we’re looking at a smarter way to use Claude. Most people treat AI like a chat tool. Ask. Answer. Repeat.

This guide shows how to move beyond prompts and build reusable Skills, delegate through Cowork and combine both with plugins. The shift is simple but powerful.

Stop writing instructions every time. Start installing processes that Claude follows automatically. If you want AI to feel less like a conversation and more like a system, this is your blueprint.

Love you,
