Typical cost
~$20–$30 / seat / month
Claude Pro or Team seat for you; your EA/chief-of-staff probably benefits more than you do. Most connectors (calendar, Slack, Notion) are free once you're on the tier.
What it replaces
~3–5 hrs/wk of prep
Board-deck drafts, strategy synthesis, meeting prep, calendar-driven decision prep, post-meeting summaries, interview notes. The ROI is hours back for you, not headcount.
The hard conversation
Role-model the discipline
Teams mirror their CEO. If you forward AI-drafted emails without editing, your people will too — and your brand gets noisier. Use it to compress your prep, not your voice.
The weekly recipe

Weekly workflow for Executives & Chiefs of Staff

Tools stitched into a cadence. Editorial — start with one day, add the rest as it sticks.

Sunday evening — Week prep
Claude Pro
Feed next week's calendar + key threads. /synthesize decisions needed, open asks. Deliverable: Monday-morning cheat sheet.
Daily — Inbox triage
Gmail/Outlook MCP
End-of-day: /triage unread → 3 buckets (respond today, delegate, archive). Takes 5 min, saves 30.
Wednesday — Board/leadership prep
Cowork Productivity Plugin
Monthly board deck? Weekly leadership update? /synthesize across Slack + Notion + docs. Human editing pass; never send AI-drafted without review.
Friday — Reflection / next week
Claude Pro
20 min. What moved? What didn't? What's blocking the team? Weekly rhythm is the unlock; skip it and this all degrades to theatre.

Typical time reclaimed: ~3-5 hrs/wk, mostly reclaimed from context switching.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Claude tools help executives and chiefs of staff?

Executives typically combine Claude with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, Notion, and strategic-framework skills for meeting prep and synthesis. This catalog curates 7 executive tools.

Is Claude safe to use for board materials?

For confidential materials, use Claude Team or Enterprise tiers, which include a data processing agreement and exclude your inputs from training. Always review AI-drafted content before distribution.

How much time can executives actually save?

Exec users commonly report a few hours per week reclaimed from prep and synthesis work — drafting board updates, summarizing meeting notes, triaging inbox. The ROI is hours back, not headcount reduction.

Should I use Claude or delegate to my chief of staff?

Both. In practice a chief of staff with Claude is dramatically faster than either alone. Use it to compress your prep loop, not to replace human judgment on decisions.
