Connecting the Dots
More tools, more power. Claude goes to your data, instead of you carrying it.
DelegationDiligence
So far, you were the courier.
Every demo today started with a person carrying material to Claude.
- Block 03You pasted the complaint into the chat
- Block 04You uploaded the files into the project
- Block 05You handed Cowork a folder on your desktop
- With connectorsClaude fetches it where it lives: inbox, drive, CRM
Same complaint, zero copy-paste
The Nordfrucht complaint from Block 03, this time straight from the inbox.
- 01 GmailFind the complaint
- 02 Google DriveRead our internal note on the case
- 03 The projectOur tone, our rules, last year’s example
- 04 Gmail againLeave the reply as a draft. A person sends it.
The question no single tool can answer
Your inbox, your drive and your calendar each know part of the story. Connected, one question gets all of it.
- Before a meeting“What do I need to know before my 10:00 with Nordfrucht?”
- A customer“What’s open with Sonnenhof: orders, invoices, emails?”
- Your week“Who has been waiting on an answer from me?”
- Your quotes“Which quotes from last month never got a reply?”
More tools, more power
Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 are in the directory, and so are these.
- NotionMeeting notes into a project page
- SlackSummarise the channel you missed
- HubSpotUpdate the deal after every call
- monday.comTurn an email into board tasks
- VercelChange your website by describing it
- ShopifyFind the products that stopped selling

Not a copy. The live file.
The dashboard from Block 06 reads the revenue sheet in Google Drive. Change a number, and the dashboard follows.
Why you can switch it on on Monday
Connectors come with limits, and you set them.

- 02 It drafts, you sendBy default, every action needs your approval
- 03 Read before writeIn company accounts, an owner can allow reading and block writing, for everyone at once
- 04 One system at a timeEmail first, the ERP much later

Not a customer contract containing personal data.
Connected or uploaded, the same rule: decide what Claude may see, and write it down.
