New to all of this? You're exactly who this is for.

You've maybe typed a few things into ChatGPT and thought, there has to be more to it than this. There is. ExtraHuman shows you how to get AI doing real work, on your own files, in your own words.

You'll use a friendly app called Claude. Its Cowork mode can open your actual folders and work alongside you, not just chat in a box. Everything here is free, there's no code, no jargon, and nothing to set up before you're ready.

Start here

The free Cowork course

Never opened Cowork? Good. This free course takes you from the very beginning to doing real work with your own files, in four short modules. The gentlest way in.

What you'll cover

What Cowork is and how it differs from ChatGPT. Working with your own files. Skills, the shortcut to expert results. And how to keep going safely.

The point isn't getting more done. It's getting back more of what's yours.

More time on the work only you can do. More space to think instead of rushing. More room to be curious. That's what AI is for.

The 3 steps that make AI work for you

Once you're up and running, everything good comes down to these three. Each one breaks into no more than three, and that's the whole list.

One · Context

Teach it who you are

A plain folder it can read. No code, no GitHub.

  • Who you areYou, your team, the business.
  • What you sellThe problems you solve and the value you add.
  • Who you sell toWho they are, and why they buy.
Two · Connections

Give it the tools you already use

A connection lets the AI use a tool you've got, like your email or calendar, so it works with your real stuff, not in a bubble.

  • ConnectorsThe ready-made ones. Gmail, Calendar and more, on with a click.
  • MCPA universal adapter for tools that don't have a ready-made connector.
  • APIThe doorway underneath that both use, so you rarely touch it yourself.
Three · Skills

Make the clever stuff repeatable

The thing you worked out once, saved so it runs the same way every time.

  • Use a skill someone builtBorrow a starter and run it.
  • Edit one to make it yoursYour voice, your steps, your data.
  • Build your ownDo the task, then save the steps.

Walk through all three, step by step →

And it keeps going.

As the work earns it, you trust the machine to run with a little more on its own: a whole system that handles the back-office, watches for what needs doing, and even improves itself. That deeper part lives in Ads to AI, when you're ready for it.

Free here. Deeper there.

Everything you need to get genuinely good starts free, right here. When you want the full system, the brain that runs across your whole business, that's what Ads to AI is for.

One more, past the frontier.

Once your own setup runs itself, the best thing you can do is show someone else what even a simple one can do for them.

Ready when you are.

There's no wrong way in. Start with the free course, or jump straight to the three steps.
