An entrepreneur writes on r/ClaudeAI that he has dropped the chat app and runs his whole business through Claude Code. That includes the non-code work too: morning routine, CRM, content, leads and follow-ups. The post got over 800 upvotes and around 290 comments.

A system in Claude Code where a single morning command lays out the whole day. It covers CRM, content pipeline, lead sourcing and follow-ups, and the user copies, pastes and checks things off. Claude is used as infrastructure rather than as a chat partner.
