In this episode of Moms Who Claude I solve the age old question— "what's for dinner" — using Claude, live, in real time, starting from my actual family's chaos. Picky eaters included.

Then I show you the two things that make the difference between a useless answer and a plan you'll actually use. And then it's your turn.

Prompt I used: It's 4pm on a Monday and I haven't planned dinner. I have: chicken thighs, eggs, kale that's starting to turn, random cheeses, pasta, canned tomatoes, garlic, and whatever condiments are in the door. I have six kids, ages 1 to 10. Two of my girls will only eat plain, bland food — no sauces, no mixed textures, nothing that looks like it has been touched by a flavor. I have about 45 minutes. What do I make tonight?"

Episode 0.4 — Is it safe? What Claude does with your words, and what you should never type in.

The last setup episode. I answer the privacy question properly — what actually happens to what you type, what "memory" really means and how to control it, and the one simple rule for what to keep out of any AI chat (hint: it's the same rule as texting).

Your challenge: Open Claude and type: "Hi, I'm a mom trying to save time. I have [your number] of kids. What's one thing you could help me with right now?" Just see what it says.

Next up — Episode 1: We solve "what's for dinner" forever. Live, in real time, starting from whatever's actually in the fridge.

Next up (0.4 — the last setup episode): What does Claude actually do with everything you type? The privacy question everyone is wondering about.

Everyone's got the same question after episode 0.1:

WHICH AI do I actually use? In this episode I break down the three main ones — what each one is good at, what they actually cost, and which one to start with.

Short answer: start with Claude at claude.ai. It's free, it's what this show uses, and it's where we're going to spend the next 20 episodes getting really good together.

Your challenge this week: Make your free account. That's it. Two minutes.

Next episode (0.3): Do you ever actually need to pay for this? Short episode, clear answer.

Before we dive into using AI, let's talk about what it actually is — no jargon, no hype, no tech-bro energy. In this first episode I explain what AI is (and isn't), why it suddenly got this good, and the morning I hit a wall with a bunch of kids and a pile of life admin and finally, desperately, tried it.

Nothing to do this episode except listen. Episode 0.2 drops next week — we're talking ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini and which one you should actually use.
