13 Claude Duet use-case ideas

These ideas use features Anthropic documents: morning brief, background VM, Marketplace connectors, approvals, Stripe Link / Shop Pay. Test each with approvals on.

Small business:

1. Morning ops brief. Email + calendar + Slack into one message.
2. Invoice status table. From Stripe or QuickBooks — prepare only.
3. Shopify order exceptions. Flag odd orders; don't refund without you.
4. Canva draft from notes. Prepare a flyer; you publish.
5. HubSpot follow-up drafts. Draft CRM notes; you send.

Professional / solo:

6. Contract prep + DocuSign path. Prepare; ask before sign.
7. LinkedIn outreach drafts. Never send the first week without reading.
8. Gusto / payroll reminders. Nudge you; don't change pay alone.
9. Meeting packet. Pull docs into one brief before a call.
10. Expense draft. Categorize receipts; you submit.

Light team:

11. Shared Slack triage. Draft replies in a channel you own.
12. Weekly client recap. From email threads you name.
13. Low-dollar supply reorder. Prepare Shop Pay / Stripe Link purchase under a cap; ask before pay.

What not to automate yet: personal ticket booking and vague errands (Anthropic says the core is work; personal errands are weaker), securities trading, and moving money between accounts (blocked).
