Custom Tools on Claude

The Job That Eats Your Week, Built Once

I build software on Claude that takes one slow, repeated task off your plate and does it in your voice. You don't need to be technical. You need a task you can describe and a willingness to review the results.

How It Works

Four Steps, Each One Optional to Continue

You never commit to more than the next step. Each one gives you something useful on its own.

1

AI Opportunity Audit

$500

I look at how your business actually runs and map where Claude saves you the most time. You get a ranked roadmap, whether or not you ever build with me.

Credited toward any build
2

Integration

$1,500 to $2,500

I connect Claude to the tools you already use and set up to 3 workflows. Typically 1 to 2 weeks from the day I get access.

Best for "I have the tools, they just don't talk"
3

Custom Build

$7,500

A purpose-built tool, like Proposal Ready, shaped around your job and your voice. $3,750 to start, the rest on delivery. I give you a timeline during the audit.

Best for "nothing off the shelf fits"
4

Monthly Retainer

$200 to $800 / month

Monitoring, fixes and small improvements as your business changes, so the tool keeps working instead of quietly breaking.

Optional. Priced by how much support you need
Case Study

Proposal Ready

The problem: contractors spend 4 to 5 hours writing each proposal, usually at night or on weekends, and the writing often sounds generic.

What I built: a tool on the Claude API that takes the project details and produces a finished proposal in the contractor's own voice, with their logo, as a clean PDF.

The result: about 5 minutes instead of 4 to 5 hours. It is live and open to anyone, and it is the template for every tool I build next.

Under the Hood

How Every Tool Is Built

Every tool I build has the same four parts. That's why builds are faster and more reliable than starting from scratch.

Input

Where the information comes in: a form, an email, a phone call, an uploaded file.

→
Claude

The brain. It reads what came in, follows your rules, and writes in your voice.

→
Output

What you actually get: a PDF, a text message, a report, a draft ready to review.

→
Foundation

The plumbing: logins, storage and hosting, so it keeps running when you're not looking.

Is This for You?

An Honest Fit Check

I'd rather tell you "not yet" than build something you won't use.

A good fit if you

  • Have a repeated task that burns hours every week (proposals, quotes, intake, follow-ups, reports)
  • Can walk me through how you do it today
  • Are happy to review what Claude produces before it goes out
  • Want a tool that sounds like you, not like a template

Not a fit if you

  • Want a magic button that needs zero review
  • Don't have a repeatable process yet (start with a workshop or the audit instead)
  • Need to replace licensed legal, medical or financial judgment
  • Are looking for a quick, cheap one-off under $1,500
Straight Talk

What Claude Can and Can't Do

Anyone selling you AI should tell you both columns.

Claude is great at

  • Drafting, summarizing and rewriting in a consistent voice
  • Turning messy notes or calls into organized, usable text
  • Doing the first 90 percent of a repetitive writing task in seconds
  • Following your rules and templates every single time

Claude can't

  • Be right every time. A person should review anything that goes to a customer
  • Know your business until it's given your information
  • Reach into systems it hasn't been connected to
  • Promise a specific number of hours saved. I'll show you real results, not guarantees
FAQ

Common Questions

Who owns the tool after you build it?+
You do. Once the build is paid for, the finished tool, your data and everything it produces belong to you. I keep ownership of the reusable framework underneath it (the four-part skeleton above), which is what lets me build faster, and you can use it for as long as you use your tool.
What does it cost to run?+
Tools built on the Claude API pay Anthropic for usage. For most small business tools that is modest, and I estimate it for you during the audit so there are no surprises.
Do I need to be technical?+
No. If you can describe how you do the task today, I can take it from there. Everything is explained in plain English.
What if Claude gets something wrong?+
It will sometimes, which is why I build review steps into every tool. You see the result before it goes anywhere, and the tool can be tuned when it misses.
Do I have to start with the audit?+
It's the best starting point because it scopes the work and keeps you from paying for the wrong thing. And since the $500 is credited toward a build, it costs you nothing extra if you continue.
