Borrowed Recipe

A back office that files itself every day

⁠ · ~2 min read

Bills, receipts and due dates stop piling up in your inbox.

SoloTech (@solotechdev) gives Claude Duet four small jobs every day across his two companies. Thanks to SoloTech for laying out the whole routine in one short post.

🧾 What’s cooking

  • Why: he runs two companies and says Claude Duet “really changed my life.”
  • The setup: Duet is connected to his Gmail, Google Drive and Mercury.
  • The pantry: Duet works with the apps already connected in Claude, and you start every connection yourself and can disconnect any of them at any time (Claude Help Center).

👩‍🍳 The method he shared

Every day, Duet does four things.

  1. Checks due dates and reminds him.
  2. Keeps tax files in one place.
  3. Files invoices and expenses in Drive.
  4. Logs what he paid.

He adds one rule, “Nothing gets paid or sent without my OK.”

That is the whole recipe. The post doesn’t share the exact prompts, folder layout or how often each job runs, so those parts are yours to shape.

😋 What each connection brings

  • Gmail and Drive are Google Workspace connectors in Claude, so access is limited to what you connect (Claude Help Center).
  • Mercury has its own connector in Claude’s directory. Its listing says payments and transfers are set up for approval in Mercury (Mercury connector listing).

🔥 Watch the stove

  • Claude Duet is a research preview on a waitlist for Pro, Max and Ultra plans, with access opening in waves. It isn’t on Team or Enterprise plans yet, and it is limited to certain regions (Claude Help Center).
  • SoloTech writes, “Nothing gets paid or sent without my OK.” Check what each connected app asks before you let anything touch money or send mail.
  • This is one person’s routine for his own companies. It is not tax or financial advice.
