Before Your Session
A few quick things to set up before we hop on the call. You don't need to understand how any of this works — just follow the steps, save the tokens below, and I'll handle everything else when we meet.
Takes about 15 minutes. Each section walks you through creating a free account and copying a token. Save them in the fields as you go — they stay in your browser. Skip anything you're not sure about; we can do it together on the call.
Claude Subscription
This is the AI that powers everything. You'll need an active subscription before our session.
Claude Pro or Max
Your AI subscription ($20-200/mo)
claude.com/pricing →
If you already have a Claude account, you're good. If not, sign up for Pro ($20/mo) — you can easily upgrade later if you need to.
Cloud Sync
This lets you access your AI files from your phone. Pick the one that matches your phone — if you're not sure, we'll figure it out on the call.
iCloud Drive
iPhone usersAlready on your Mac. Just make sure iCloud Drive is turned on in System Settings.
Google Drive
Android usersDownload the Google Drive desktop app if you don't have it.
On a PC with an iPhone? iCloud for Windows works great.
Not sure? Skip it for now — we can set this up together.
Telegram Bot
This is how you'll talk to your AI from your phone — text messages, voice notes, photos, anything. It takes about 60 seconds. Do this part on your computer if you can — it'll make copying the token easier.

- 2Open Telegram and search for @BotFather — this is Telegram's built-in tool for creating bots
- 3Send the message
/newbot - 4It'll ask for a name — type
0ne - 5It'll ask for a username (must end in
bot). Pick any of these — just replace "yourname" with your actual name:yourname_one_botyourname_ai_botyourname_0ne_botyourname_assistant_botyourname_personal_botyourname_hub_botyourfirstlast_botyourname_pro_botyourname_cmd_botyourname_ops_bot - 6BotFather will reply with a long token that looks like
7123456789:AAF-abc123...— copy it and paste it below.
Slack App
This puts your AI right inside your Slack workspace. A bit more steps than Telegram, but we've got a shortcut — a pre-made config you just copy and paste.
Don't use Slack? Skip this section entirely.
- 1Go to api.slack.com/apps and sign in
- 2Click the green Create New App button → choose From an app manifest
- 3Pick your workspace from the dropdown
- 4You'll see a text box. Delete whatever's in there, then copy and paste this entire block:

Voice (Optional)
Want to send voice messages to your AI and hear it talk back? These two services make that possible. Both are optional — we can always add them later.
Groq — Voice Transcription (Free)
This lets your AI understand voice notes you send it.
- 1Go to console.groq.com and create a free account
- 2Click API Keys in the sidebar → create a new key → copy it
ElevenLabs — Voice Responses (Free to start)
This lets your AI respond with a realistic voice. The free plan gives you about 10 minutes of audio per month — enough to try it out. Paid plans start at $5/mo if you want more. Not required — your AI works great with text only.
- 1Go to elevenlabs.io and create an account
- 2Click your profile icon → Profile + API key → copy your API key
You're All Set
That's everything. Here's a summary of what you've collected. Download the file below and have it ready for our session — I'll tell you where to put it.
Your tokens are saved in your browser only — nothing is sent anywhere. If you missed any, don't worry — we'll fill in the gaps together on the call.
Download These Apps
If you have a few extra minutes, grab these on your phone. You'll use them after the install.
