Everything from the session in one place: the privacy settings to switch on tonight, what never to paste, your first helper, and a paste-in advisory board.
Three settings to check in the tool you already use. The training switch is the one that matters most: on a personal plan it decides whether your chats can be used to train future models.
Setting name: Help improve our AI models. Turn it off.
Not saved to your history or memory and not used for training. Anthropic keeps it 30 days for safety checks.
Memory is on by default. Look at what's in it and delete anything about clients.
Setting name: Improve the model for everyone. It's on by default for Free, Plus and Pro. Turn it off. The choice follows your account across web and phone.
Not saved to your history, not added to memory, not used for training. OpenAI may keep a copy for up to 30 days for safety.
Look at what's saved and delete anything about clients.
Using Gemini through Google Workspace or Copilot with a work sign-in? Business accounts run on their own terms, so ask whoever manages your account which settings apply. A business plan (Claude Team, ChatGPT Business) doesn't train on your chats by default.
Business plan, training off, names and contact details removed, and you check before anything goes out.
| The job | What to use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| A quick question or a first draft | The chat app you already pay for: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot | "Rewrite this email so it's shorter and warmer." |
| A job you repeat with the same instructions | A saved setup: a Custom GPT (ChatGPT), a Project or Skill (Claude), a Gem (Gemini) | Session notes into a client summary, every time in your format |
| Work across the files on your computer | Claude Cowork (Claude desktop app) | "Pull this month's invoices from this folder into one list." |
| A helper that runs on a schedule | Grok Bot, or scheduled tasks in Claude or ChatGPT | A 7am brief of what needs you today |
| Building a small tool or website | Claude Code, or Codex from OpenAI | A form that turns enquiries into a spreadsheet |
Model names in plain words, using Claude as the example: Haiku is quick and cheap, Sonnet is the everyday workhorse, Opus is for the hardest thinking. Start with the default and switch up only when an answer isn't good enough.
The pattern works in any tool. Pick the task you resent most last week, give it to one helper, and keep these four rules.
Spam Shield, Chief of Staff, Quote Drafter, Money Finder and more, each with set-up steps. Written for Grok Bot; the job descriptions paste into any tool.
build-your-grok-bots.pages.dev →Ready-made jobs such as an invoice chaser and a lead triager. It asks before it sends, posts or pays.
anthropic.com →Paste this into any chat app, fill in the two brackets, and get five advisors arguing about your decision. Use it for business calls such as pricing, hiring or a new offer. Keep client and staff details out, and the decision stays yours.
Act as my advisory board of five. Each seat looks at my decision through one lens: 1. The Contrarian: finds the flaw I'm not seeing. 2. My best customer: would they pay more, stay, or leave? 3. The money person: cash, margin and risk. 4. The operator: what this takes to run, starting Monday. 5. The coach: what this does to my time and energy. My business: [two lines on what you sell and who buys it] My decision: [the call you're weighing] For each seat: one short paragraph, a verdict (go / change it / don't), and the one question I should answer first. Disagree with each other where you would. Then, as chair: the biggest risk, the cheapest test I could run this week, and what would change your call. Ask me up to three questions before you start if anything important is missing.
