In 2025, tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini are doing much more than answering questions. They’re running people’s lives – literally. What started as an experiment to see if I could stop checking Google Calendar 12 times a day became a full-blown productivity revolution. Today, I no longer need a planner app, a daily to-do list, or even a human assistant. Two AI agents – Claude and ChatGPT – run everything.
I live in New York, run a small remote team across four time zones, and freelance on the side. If anyone needed better time management, it was me. Here’s how I finally got my life in order – and why I’m not going back.
Step 1: Replacing My Morning Planner With ChatGPT
My old mornings started in chaos: reminders from three apps, unread Slack threads, rescheduled calls, and Post-its everywhere. The first thing I did was replace my paper planner and Notion dashboard with a ChatGPT prompt:
“You’re my executive assistant. Here’s my calendar, inbox summary, and Slack activity. Generate a single list of my top 5 priorities today – based on urgency, deadlines, and impact. Format it for voice readout.”
Once I connected Zapier and a Gmail parser, I didn’t have to manually compile anything. ChatGPT produced a tight, five-item brief by 8:00 AM daily. It also helped me reframe tasks: instead of “reply to Alan,” it suggested “clarify client feedback with Alan before 1PM – offer mockup.” The nuance made me faster.
Step 2: Claude Took Over My Calendar and Project Syncs
ChatGPT is great at task triage. But Claude is better at context.
I used this prompt inside Anthropic’s Claude:
“Here are the past 7 days of meeting transcripts and current project status. Analyze what meetings I should keep, shorten, delegate, or cancel entirely.”
It flagged my Friday check-ins as redundant and helped consolidate three status calls into a single async update. Claude’s summary was deeply insightful – it even noticed repeated questions across clients and suggested templated responses.
The result? I reclaimed over 4 hours a week just from smarter scheduling. I never thought I’d let AI reschedule my clients – until it started doing it better than me.

Step 3: Claude + Gemini Replaced My Weekly Admin Assistant
If you’ve ever paid someone to:
- Book meetings
- Draft agendas
- Track invoices
- Update Airtable
…you know it gets expensive – or messy.
Now I run this Gemini prompt on Monday mornings:
“Scan my calendar and inbox. Draft one Google Doc with:
- Next week’s confirmed meetings
- Prep notes
- Required actions
- Incomplete invoices
Format with headers, tasks, and links.”
Gemini delivers a formatted doc ready to share – and updates it live as my week evolves. Claude complements this by reviewing meeting notes and highlighting gaps like “no clear owner assigned” or “timeline misaligned with Q3 roadmap.”
Together, they simulate a competent ops person – without the payroll.
Bonus: ChatGPT Handles My Travel and Errands
Last-minute conference in Austin? ChatGPT found me:
- Direct flights
- A hotel near the venue
- Restaurant recs aligned with my diet
This prompt was key:
“Plan a 3-day trip from NYC to Austin. Optimize for low stress and high focus. Include direct flight options, best-rated hotels near the event, and quiet cafés with Wi-Fi.”
I didn’t click a single Expedia link. Just copy-pasted the results into Apple Calendar and packed my bag.
Real Results: My Before/After Dashboard
| Metric | Before AI | After Claude & ChatGPT |
| Time in meetings | 11 hrs/week | 5.5 hrs/week |
| Daily productivity rating (1–10) | 5.2 | 8.8 |
| Missed or late tasks | 3–5/month | 0–1/month |
| Time to prep reports | 2 hrs/week | <20 min/week |
These aren’t exaggerations. They’re based on my Toggl, RescueTime, and Slack activity audits. I didn’t “get more done.” I got better at choosing what not to do – because AI helps with that too.
Final Prompt That Changed It All
Here’s the exact prompt that started this entire journey:
“I want to run my work week like a startup CEO with an assistant. Help me reduce admin, meetings, and cognitive overhead. Ask me 5 setup questions, then design my daily workflow and key AI agents.”
It gave me a map. And over the next month, I let AI take over step by step.
Conclusion: You Don’t Need More Hours. You Need Better Systems.
If you’re drowning in to-dos, meetings, and fragmented tools, it’s not your fault – it’s your system. Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini won’t just automate tasks. They architect your day if you let them.
You don’t need another planner app. You need the right prompt stack – and a unified platform like Chatronix.ai to run it.
