ChatGPT & Claude (MCP)
How to Use Claude and ChatGPT: Top 3 Ways
Most people use ChatGPT and Claude by asking the same things every day: what's in my inbox, what do I need to do, prep me for this call. These are the top three ways to use them for real work instead. First, connect Claude and ChatGPT to your apps, starting with all your email accounts and your phone. You can do it at usecarly.com, or search for Carly in Claude's connectors or ChatGPT's plugins. Second, connect your email and texts to the place work gets tracked, like Todoist or your CRM, so you stop copying tasks out of emails by hand. Third, stop repeating prompts. Scheduling has the AI act on a repeat, like a morning digest of email from your key contacts or a briefing before each meeting. Sorting acts as email and texts come in: they land in your to-do list, get the right folders and labels, and get replies.
Step by step
- 01
Connect Claude or ChatGPT to your email and phone
Search for Carly in Claude's connectors or ChatGPT's plugins, or start at usecarly.com. Connect all your email accounts and your phone so the assistant can read them and act on them.
- 02
Send email and texts to your to-do list or CRM
Have incoming email and texts turn into tasks in a task manager like Todoist, or update your CRM, instead of copying tasks out of emails by hand.
- 03
Schedule the prompts you repeat
If you type the same prompt every morning or before every call, schedule it. A digest of email from your key contacts, or a research briefing emailed to you before each meeting, runs on a repeat without a new prompt.
- 04
Sort email and texts as they arrive
Sorting acts the moment something comes in: email gets the right folder and label, tasks land in your to-do list, and messages get replies. Auto-labeling incoming email with AI is an easy place to start.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
