Ben Hawksworth · 7 AI Businesses You Can Start This Weekend (Just Claude) ↗
One of 7 ideas covered in this video
Load a business's scattered documentation, processes, policies, scripts, and meeting notes, into a Claude Project so the whole team can get instant answers instead of repeatedly interrupting each other or a manager to ask where something is or how something works.
Hawksworth's argument is that most small businesses already have the knowledge they need, it's just scattered across documents, chats, and people's heads, so the sale isn't "AI," it's making onboarding faster and support more consistent. He suggests charging around £2,000 to build the initial system and £400 a month to keep it updated as the business's documentation changes.
Someone comfortable working with a business's existing internal documents and organizing them, more an information-organization skill than a technical one.
The pricing (£2,000 build, £400/month) is the presenter's own suggested figure rather than a documented sale price. The underlying build, loading existing documents into a Claude Project scoped to that business, is simple enough to test on a small scale before committing to a specific price.
