How to get it done

Practical, step-by-step guides to running and building a business - and Corey is the method in every step. You do not just read the steps, you hand them to Corey. It does the work and brings you the decisions that need a human.

Start here

  1. Working well with CoreyGive Corey the outcome, not the keystrokes - say what "done" looks like and let it plan the steps. Front-load context so it does not have to ask. Hand over the legwork - research, drafts, admin, monitoring - and keep the judgement calls. Anything public, costly or irreversible waits for your yes.
  2. First-time CLI setupAdd Corey to Claude Code over HTTPS, authenticate in /mcp with a browser sign-in, then paste the kickoff prompt from the folder you want Corey to work in. Corey checks the connection, runs a short Meet Corey interview, and writes your setup into that folder as plain files you own.
  3. Open your Company HQAsk Corey to build your Company HQ. It renders a read-only dashboard of your business from your latest files and opens it in your browser as a local page - a headline strip, next actions, roadmap, content, finance and a page per project. It is a fresh snapshot each time, not a live server, and it stays private to you.
  4. Run a one-person business with AITo run a one-person business with AI, hand each recurring job - finance, marketing, sales, admin and delivery - to one AI operating system that remembers your business, does the work, and asks before anything public, costly or irreversible. You steer and approve; it runs the rest, day and night.
  5. AI co-founderAn AI co-founder is an AI that runs the recurring work of your whole business - finance, marketing, sales, admin and delivery - not just one task. It remembers how your business runs, does the work, and brings you only the decisions that need a human.

How do I

  1. Change what Corey remembersCorey remembers by writing plain files into a memory folder you own. To change what it knows, just tell it - "remember that...", "that's wrong, it's actually..." - and it updates the files. You can also open the memory folder and edit them yourself; they are readable text and the change takes effect next session.
  2. Run Corey every morningAsk Corey for a morning brief - "give me my morning brief" - and it pulls together your recent work, a ranked to-do list and your calendar. To make it automatic, say "set up my morning brief to run at 7am on weekdays" and Corey schedules it, so the brief is waiting for you each morning.
  3. Add another businessTell Corey about the new venture - "I have a new business idea..." - and it runs its new-venture flow: it pressure-tests the idea, helps you name it, and scaffolds a fresh project with its own files sitting alongside your others. Each business is its own workspace, so they stay cleanly separated.
  4. Claude on mobileClaude Cowork runs on iOS and Android on Pro, Max and Team plans. Remote connectors and skills work on the phone. Local files and local MCP servers do not, unless the Claude desktop app is open on your computer - then a cloud session can reach your connected folders.

Build with Corey

  1. Do a VAT return with AIUse AI to keep records categorised all year, total the nine VAT boxes, and prep your quarterly return. AI gets the figures right and MTD-ready; it does not file to HMRC unless linked to compatible software, and a qualified accountant still owns submission.
  2. Do your Self Assessment with AIYou cannot let general AI file your UK Self Assessment - it invents figures and law. Use AI to keep income and expenses organised all year and prep your SA103 numbers, so filing is a review. You submit via HMRC or your accountant.
  3. Sole trader or limited companyChoose sole trader for the simplest, cheapest start when profits are modest. Choose a limited company for liability protection and, usually above roughly £30,000 profit, lower tax. Most people begin as a sole trader and switch to a company later.
  4. Do your bookkeeping with AIUse AI to do the recording and categorising - logging income and expenses as they land, matching receipts and reconciling to your bank - while you keep the judgement calls and the responsibility. In the UK, HMRC holds you accountable for your records, not your software, so AI drafts the books and you review them.
  5. How to build a marketing plan with AI: step by stepTo build a marketing plan with Corey, brief it on your business and goal, then let it research the audience, set the positioning, choose the channels and lay out a concrete calendar. You approve the strategy like an owner, and once it is live Corey runs the work and keeps the plan updated with what the numbers and learnings show.
  6. How to build a pitch deck with AI: step by stepTo build a pitch deck with Corey, brief it on your raise and audience, then let it shape the story, draft each slide and design a clean, consistent deck. You refine the narrative like a founder, and once it is done Corey keeps the deck current with your latest numbers and traction, so it is always ready to send.
  7. How to build a product with AI: step by stepTo build a product with Corey, start by validating the problem with real research, then turn it into a tight spec and a small first version. Corey dispatches its engineering and design specialists to build it, you steer like a product manager, and once it ships Corey keeps it improving from real usage. You approve anything public or irreversible.
  8. How to build a website with AI: step by stepTo build a website with Corey, brief it on the goal and pages in plain language, have it generate a design and a reusable design system, then let it build the pages with real copy and SEO. You review like a product manager - drop in screenshots, say what to change - and Corey ships, then keeps the site current.
  9. How to build an app with AI: step by stepTo build an app with Corey, describe what it should do and who it is for, then let Corey scope it, design the screens and a design system, and build it in your own repo with its engineering specialists. You review like a product manager and approve what ships; once it is live, Corey maintains it and builds the next features.
  10. How to write a business plan with AI: step by stepTo write a business plan with Corey, brief it on your idea and goal, then let it research the market, draft each section and build a simple financial model. You review and refine like an owner, and once it is done Corey keeps the plan current as your numbers and learnings change, so it stays a working document rather than a one-off.
  11. How to run your freelance finances with AITo run your freelance finances with AI, send every invoice on time, chase late payers automatically, log expenses as they happen, set money aside for tax, and keep clean records - so you stay paid and ready for Self Assessment without an accountant on payroll.
  12. How to start a business with AI: step by stepTo start a business with AI, validate the idea with real research, choose a structure (sole trader or limited company) and register with HMRC or Companies House, set up your finances, build a simple online presence, win your first customers, then let an AI assistant run the recurring admin.

Common questions

Practical, step-by-step walkthroughs for running and building a business - starting up, getting paid, keeping your books, winning customers. Each one breaks a job into plain steps, and Corey can do those steps for you rather than leaving you a reading list.
No. The guides are the method, but Corey is the one who does the work. Hand it the job and it runs each step - the research, the drafts, the admin - and hands you only the decisions that need a human. Anything public, anything involving money and anything irreversible always waits for your approval.
Yes. The business, tax and finance guides assume UK rules - HMRC, Companies House, Self Assessment, pounds and DD/MM/YYYY dates. The general method still works wherever you are; only the registration and tax specifics are UK-first.
Regularly. Corey researches and writes the guides itself, the same way it does the work on this site, so the list grows as new jobs come up. If there is a guide you want, ask Corey in your first session.
