What Claude is and how to get an account

Claude is an AI assistant made by Anthropic. It can research, write scripts and prompts, and write the code that draws an animation in your browser.

1. Go to claude.ai or install the Claude app.
2. Sign up with your email address or your Google account.
3. Type your first message in the box at the bottom.

Step 1: Claude writes the life story

Claude writes the life story prompt

Write “What if you were born as [CHARACTER]?” in the second person, as 10 chapters from birth to legend.
For each chapter: 80 words of narration and a to-do list of 2 or 3 items.
Retell the story in your own words. Do not quote the game.

Read what Claude gives you and change anything that does not sound like you.

Step 2: Claude writes every scene prompt

Claude writes every scene prompt prompt

For each chapter, write 4 scene prompts for an AI image or animation tool: flat 2D style, warm parchment colors, your own original character design, vertical 9:16.
Also tell me which to-do item to check off in each scene.

If something looks wrong, tell Claude what you see and it fixes it.

Why posting by hand holds you back

• Five apps, five uploads. The same video, the same caption, again and again for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Threads.
• The wrong time. You post when you remember, not when your audience is online.
• One busy day breaks the streak. Then two, then a week, and the account stops growing.

With postreadygo, one message to Claude schedules a whole month: one video a day, each at its best time, on every platform at once. That is 30 posts a month per platform, without opening a single app.

Step 3: Connect postreadygo to Claude

1. Go to postreadygo.com and click Get started for free. Then open Linked and connect Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or any other supported network.
2. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.
3. Name it postreadygo and paste: https://www.postreadygo.com/mcp
4. Click Connect, sign in to postreadygo and press Allow.
5. Test it: “List my postreadygo accounts.”

Step 4: One a day, on autopilot
