Build an AI System That Runs Your Business (10 Min Setup) - Part 1
i built an ai system that will eventually run my entire business
this is part 1 - the foundation.
it only takes about 10 minutes to set up.
in this video, i’ll show you:
how i’m wiring claude ai to act as the command center
how to connect it with gmail, drive, and google calendar
how to trigger real automations using n8n (no-code)
this isn’t just chat prompts — this is a real system.
one that performs tasks, pulls files, updates your calendar, and saves hours.
by the end of this video, you’ll have:
→ your own claude ai command center
→ google calendar, gmail, and drive fully integrated
→ workflows that actually do the work for you
resources from video:
download claude desktop: https://claude.ai/download
n8n: https://n8n.io/
code for claude config file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"n8n": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"supergateway",
"--sse",
"https://N8Nurl/sse"
]
}
}
}
]
if calendar doesn’t show up inside claude after setup:
restart the app and double-check your config file - fixes it 90% of the time.
this is just the first layer.
i’ll keep building until my entire business runs through this system.
you can follow along and build it too.
to your success,
mac
