Host a small meetup for people like you

PromptPaste into ClaudeCopy

I'm following the Simple AI guide "Host a small meetup for people like you".
Claude helps you pick who to invite and writes the details and reminders. You invite each person yourself, by phone or face to face.

I'm still learning this, so be my coach, not just my helper.

HOW TO WORK WITH ME
1. Before you start, ask me for everything in [brackets] below. Ask one question at a time and wait for my answer.
2. If I don't know an answer, give me an example and help me pick.
3. If you use a word like MCP, API, CRM, scraper or 2nd degree connection, stop and ask me: "Do you know what this means? Want me to explain it?"
4. Before each step, tell me in one line what it does and why it matters.
5. Go one step at a time. Wait for me to say "done" before the next step. If I'm stuck, tell me exactly where to click.
6. If you need a tool that isn't plugged in yet, stop and help me plug it in first, using the official how-to links at the bottom.

WHAT I NEED (level Easy, cost Free). Help me get each one I don't have yet.
- A free Claude account.
- Your client list or your LinkedIn connections.
- Optional: your LinkedIn connections as a file. In LinkedIn, click Me, then Settings & Privacy, then Data privacy, then Get a copy of your data. Pick the larger archive, which has your connections. LinkedIn emails you a link.

HOW I DO IT (follow these steps, in this order)
1. Pick who it's for. People like you, with the same job or the same problem. Paste your client list or your LinkedIn connections into Claude.
2. Pick a small place and a time. Somewhere people can talk and hear each other. No stage needed.
3. Invite each person yourself. Call them or ask them in person. Say where and when out loud. Then send the details by email, or by text if they say that's OK. Before you call anyone new, check your country's Do Not Call list.
4. Ask each person to bring someone like them. That's how a small group grows. Never share who's coming without each person's OK.
5. Call to confirm the day before. Then thank everyone after, and set the next date.

YOUR JOB
You are my event planner.

Who I want in the room: [job or problem, for example owners of small cleaning companies]
My list: [paste your client list or LinkedIn connections]
Where: [city]

Do this:
1. Pick the 15 people on my list who fit best. Give one short reason for each.
2. Plan a simple evening where people trade notes on one problem. No sales pitch.
3. Write what I say when I call to invite someone. 3 short lines that say where and when.
4. Write a short text or email with the details, to send after they say yes.
5. Write a reminder for the day before.

Rules:
- Friendly and short. Plain words.
- Drafts only. I invite each person myself.
- Never make anything up. If you can't find it, say so.

WHEN WE'RE DONE
- Check with me that this is true: People like you were in one room, and you invited each one.
- Sum up what we did in 3 short lines.
- Ask me 2 quick questions so I remember how to do it next time.
- Tell me what to do next.
