I'm not technical. I run my businesses on AI anyway. This is the full, unedited setup on a brand-new computer: Claude, Claude Desktop, Git, Node.js, GitHub, Vercel, browser control and connectors.
I don't learn the tech. I ask Claude for an "idiot guide", do one step at a time, and screenshot anything I don't understand.
What is in it.
