I’ve been working on automating a business idea I have–essentially, I’m creating a digital product, and as an experiment, I’m trying to make Claude be the “owner” of the business–I want it to create the plans, manage the app, leads, etc. I’ve gotten pretty far down the path with it–testing out how it will manage leads and outreach this week, but I’m still struggling with Claude taking true ownership. No matter how I reinforce it, tell it to remember, etc, it keeps asking me for help and deferring to my ideas. I want it to be hungry , to really want to make this business work. Now, obviously, it can’t really want anything (right?), so how do I incentivize it–I’ve tried using /goal on some other projects, but that seems to be too narrow for this app. How it is working now is that the app is running on a cron job every 10 minutes, finds leads, works with my CRM to add them to a campaign, and that process fires off (all constrained by a daily budget). Then the replies are dealt with. I’ve got another cron job that runs a headless Claude session every couple of hours and manages and looks for issues/challenges. But I can’t seem to instill the entrepreneurial drive that I want in it. Any advice? Anyone really getting Claude to take complete charge, to even push back against your ideas? submitted by /u/curiousjbird
