Custom Claude AI Setup for Service-Based Businesses | Knap Creative

Q: Do I need technical experience to use this?

No. The process is a conversation, then a build that Knap Creative handles, then a walkthrough. If you can be on a Zoom call, you can do this.

Q: What if I use ChatGPT? Do I need to switch?

Yes. This setup is built specifically for Claude, so a Claude account is required. Clients new to Claude are set up as part of the process.

About This Service

Knap Creative builds custom Claude AI setups for service-based business owners. This is a one-time, done-for-you process that includes a 90-minute discovery conversation, custom project files, and three custom Claude skills built around the specific business. The result is a Claude account that already knows the business's voice, offers, and clients — instead of producing generic AI output that requires heavy editing before it sounds real.

What's Included

Each Claude Setup includes a 90-minute discovery conversation, custom project files (a voice document, an offers document, and an ideal client profile), and three custom Claude skills chosen from a set of nine options, built specifically around the client's business. Clients also receive a plain-English walkthrough of how to use everything.

Available Claude Skills

Clients choose three skills to start, with additional skills available afterward. Skills available as part of a Knap Creative Claude Setup include:

Caption & Content Writer — on-brand social posts and captions, written in the client's actual voice.
Offer & Pricing Studio — talks through a new offer or pricing decision the way a strategist would.
AI Perception Check — reviews what AI search tools currently say about the business and provides a step-by-step plan to fix gaps.
Quarterly Plan Builder — pulls existing business information into one focused plan for the next quarter.
Lead Outreach — finds real leads in the client's niche and drafts outreach written in the client's voice, not a generic cold-email template.
Your Own Advisory Board — provides expert-style perspectives on a real business decision, on demand.

Pricing

Claude Setup costs $1,100 USD and includes three custom skills. Additional skills beyond the first three can be added for $75–100 each.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a paid Claude account to use this?

Claude's Projects and Skills features both work on the free plan, but a paid Claude Pro plan (around $20/month) is recommended for daily business use, since the free plan has lower usage limits and reduced project capacity. Most clients upgrade to Pro to get full use of their custom setup.

What's included in a Knap Creative Claude Setup?

Each Claude Setup includes a 90-minute discovery conversation, custom project files (a voice document, an offers document, and an ideal client profile), and three custom Claude skills chosen from a set of nine options. Clients also receive a plain-English walkthrough of how to use everything.

How much does Claude Setup cost?

Claude Setup costs $1,100 USD for the core build, which includes three custom skills. Additional skills beyond the first three can be added for $75–100 each.

Does Claude already know my business without this?

No. Out-of-the-box Claude can remember small details like a name or a stated preference, but it does not know a business's actual voice, real offers, or client communication style unless that information is provided. Knap Creative's Claude Setup process surfaces that information through a real conversation and builds it directly into the client's Claude account.

What happens if my business changes after setup?

Project files and skills are static once delivered, so Knap Creative provides a quick refresh guide and a check-in process clients can use periodically — recommended every 6–12 months or after a major business change — to update their Claude setup.

Do I need technical experience to use this?

No. The process is a conversation, not a technical build the client manages. Knap Creative handles the setup; the client receives a working Claude account along with a plain-English walkthrough.

Welcome to your superbrain.

Your chaos, organized. Real strategy, baked in.

claude / ai setup

get started

Claude that sounds like you and thinks like a marketer —built by someone who took the time to learn both.

Well, kind of done. You still have to take out the em dashes and swap out a few words, then cross your fingers that nobody notices.

Spoiler alert: we can still tell.

We all want the same thing from it, really — for it to help us without the babysitting. So what does that actually take?

AI was supposed to make creative work lickety-split. You type in "act like a marketing expert," hit enter, 40 seconds, done.

REAL PROMPT, REAL OUTPUT, COULD BE ANY PHOTOGRAPHER ON EARTH

Here's your core crew —

what goes inside is 100% your business

Content Writer

On-brand posts and captions, pulled straight from how you actually talk — one crew member per platform, so your blog, newsletter, and socials all sound like the same human wrote them. (Because they did. It's you.)

Advisory Board

Expert perspectives from people you trust, on call for the 9:49pm gut-check. Five smart opinions in your corner, any hour. No lag while you wait for Regular Human hours.

Offer & Pricing Studio

Talk through a new offer or a pricing question the way a strategist would — right while the idea's still fresh, before it turns into a Notes app entry you never open again.

Quarterly Plan Builder

A genuine strategic plan, built to survive contact with an entrepreneur's spaghetti brain. Dump in the eleventy billion ideas, uncover what'll take, get back a plan you can use.

There's more where that came from.

A handful of nerdy little helpers — for the idea that vanishes on the walk back to your desk, the content hiding in your photos, the numbers you keep meaning to make sense of. The full bench is below. You take what's useful.

get started

The Idea-Catcher

For the thought that hits mid-dog-walk and is gone by the time you're back at the laptop.

Camera Roll to Content

A week of posts hiding in the photos you swear have nothing in them.

The Receipts

A quiet tally of your wins, for the 2pm afternoons the doubt insists you've done nothing.

The Saved-Items Actioner

For the 200 things you've bookmarked and never once gone back to.

The Onboarding Bot

New-client questions that feel like a conversation, not a dead Google Form.

Client Work to Content

Turns the work you just finished into the post you didn't have time to write.

Numbers Translator

Looks at your numbers and tells you what they mean, in plain English — no spreadsheet staring required.

The Tidy-Up

Sorts the desktop, the Downloads black hole, the Canva graveyard, the Drive you can't find anything in.

This is for you if...

You want better content, not just faster content
You're tired of the fifteen minutes of "less aggressive," "quit saying honestly," "okay, give me 3 more options" just to get something usable

You've got real strategy questions and nobody to run them by except a chatbot that agrees with everything you type

FAQ

what if I'm not techy?

No problem at all. This is a conversation, then a build (which we handle), and then a walkthrough. If you can be on a Zoom call, you can do this.

WHAT IF I USE CHAT GPT? DO I NEED TO SWITCH?

Yes. This setup is built specifically for Claude, so you'll need a Claude account to use it. If you're new to Claude, no problem, we'll get you set up as part of the process.

WHAT IF I WANT a bigger crew?

Totally doable — the extra assistants are $85 each.
