AI FOR HER Issue #26
When I launched the AI For Her newsletter, I had no system for news research.
Every week I'd open Google News alerts, scroll six different AI newsletters, text myself article links, switch between tabs, and try to hold my “system” together with duct tape. It wasn’t sustainable.
I almost quit the newsletter before it had a chance to get going.
The research was a huge pain. But I couldn’t figure out another way to do it. And building a big complex make.com automation felt overwhelming.
That’s when I discovered the magic of Scheduled Tasks.
Welcome to Part 3 of OMG Claude Can Do That?!?
This Is When AI Starts Working For You
A scheduled task is a recurring job you set up once inside Claude Cowork. You describe what you want Claude to do and how often to do it. Then Claude does it — without you initiating it, without you being in the room, without a prompt from you every time.
This is the moment AI stops being something you use and starts being something that works for you.
Because there's a difference between giving Claude a prompt, copying the output, and doing the rest of the work yourself — and delegating the work to Claude on its own.
This is what it actually means to graduate from AI as thought partner to AI that takes work off your plate.
My newsletter research task runs every week. It scans for relevant stories, finds the angles that matter to female founders, and drops everything into a format I can curate from. I don't build the research from scratch anymore. I decide what to use.
That's the shortcut. Part 3 shows you how to set it up ⬇
You can build a scheduled task for anything that happens on a schedule — a Monday morning briefing from your calendar and inbox, a weekly client follow-up roundup from Gmail, recurring research for content or proposals. If it's repetitive, structured, and doesn't require your genius to initiate it, Claude can run it without you.
The technical setup takes about ten minutes. What makes the difference is writing a specific enough prompt that the output is actually usable — not something you have to rewrite. Part 3 walks you through both.
Quick note: scheduled tasks require the Claude Desktop app and a paid plan (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise). Free plans don't have access to Cowork.
Grab it here.
Part 4 drops next week. Get excited for what else is possible.

Finally, Skincare That Boosts NAD+ At the Source
For decades, skincare has focused on aesthetic results. But we started by asking a different question: what if instead of trying to preserve our skin's youth, we prioritized optimizing our skin's function? That's how Aramore’s NAD+ skincare was born.
Developed by Harvard & MIT scientists, Aramore is a skincare system based on skin’s performance, not just its appearance. NAD+ production slows down significantly as we age, and this causes all the telltale science of aging.
Aramore is the only skincare formulated to help skin produce NAD+ like much younger skin would. The result? Skin that’s stronger, firmer, and more resilient, that not only looks better, but stays healthier over time.
HER POWER BRIEF
💄 Reese Witherspoon told her book club to get on AI. Seven of ten women hadn't. The internet called it feminist betrayal. She's not wrong about the stakes.
💄 New Chief + Harris Poll research finds 80% of senior women leaders are actively shaping AI strategy at their organizations, and 83% believe caution is a sign of good leadership. So are women behind on AI or are they just asking better questions? Mixed messages this week!
💄 Claude and Canva just became the peanut butter and chocolate of AI visuals. Draft content in Claude Design, bring it directly into Canva as a fully editable design. Image creation just got a major upgrade.
