A morning brief your AI writes for you.

Before you start work, Claude cleans up your inbox and tells you who to chase, who wrote in, who might hire you, and what money came in. It lands in your dashboard and in your email. Download it, hand the folder to Claude, and it sets it up around your business. Made in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Get the download

We'll email you the link. It's free, and the code is yours to keep.

The link comes from nick@redwaterrev.com. You'll also get our newsletter on using AI in a local business. Every one of those emails has a one-click unsubscribe. See our privacy policy.

What's inside

Two routines that run before you wake up.

We built this live on camera in our free video series for local business owners, for a made-up Lake Charles landscaping company, then cleaned it up so any local service business can use it. The full business dashboard comes with it, so you don't need the earlier download.

Inbox cleaner

Your inbox, sorted by 5 AM

Receipts, newsletters, sales pitches and security alerts get their own Gmail labels and leave the inbox. Mail from real people stays right where it is. Nothing gets deleted.

Daily brief

Who to chase, who wrote in, who might hire you

Emails you sent that nobody answered, oldest first. Customers who wrote in. New leads, and whether they're in your area. Local events worth knowing about. Each one has a button that opens a suggested reply in your email.

Weekly brief

Your week in numbers, every Monday

Money in and out, who owes you and for how long, open quotes, regular income, and how fast you answered email. Worked out from your own records.

Customer list

Follow-ups that keep themselves current

The routine can add notes, set follow-up dates and add new leads, and nothing else. It can't touch what anyone owes you. Every change is marked, with an undo button.

How it works

You answer questions. Your AI does the setup.

Download it

Get the folder

Enter your email above. The download link lands in your inbox a minute or two later.

Hand it to your AI

Let it read the setup file

Unzip it, open Claude in the folder, and tell it to read START-HERE-FOR-YOUR-AI.md. It asks about your labels, your towns, how long to wait before a follow-up, and what time you want the brief. If you watched the video, give it the transcript too.

Turn it on

It runs in Claude's cloud

Your AI sets up two routines in your own Claude account. They run every morning, even with your computer off. Your data stays on accounts in your name. We never get a copy.

Who it's for

Owners who run the business out of their inbox.

We're two brothers in Lake Charles who build software for local businesses. If a lead has ever waited two days for an answer because the email got buried under receipts and sales pitches, this is for you. We made it for owners around here: landscapers, tree services, roofers, electricians, cleaners and contractors in Lake Charles, Sulphur, Moss Bluff, Westlake and Lafayette. It comes with sample data, so you can click around before you touch your own email, and your AI swaps in your towns and your labels, so it works wherever you are.

Before you start

What it doesn't do.

Questions

Common questions.

Is it really free?

Yes. No card and no trial. You get the code under the MIT license and you own your copy. The only costs are the accounts it runs on, which are in your name.

Do I need the AI business dashboard first?

No. This download includes the whole dashboard. If you already set that one up, your AI can add the brief to the copy you have.

Does it read all my email?

It reads the Gmail inbox you connect, every morning, to sort it and build the brief. It never replies, forwards or deletes anything, and the only email it sends is the brief, to you. If personal mail lands in that inbox, that gets read too, so a business-only inbox is the better fit.

Does it run when my computer is off?

Yes. The two routines run in Claude's cloud at the time you pick. A scheduled task on your desktop only runs while your computer and the Claude app are open, so we don't use one.

What do I need to get started?

A computer, a paid Claude plan, a Gmail inbox, a GitHub account and a Vercel account. Plan on an afternoon the first time.

Can Redwater set it up for me?

Yes. We're based in Lake Charles and build custom versions of this for local businesses. Book an AI audit and we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth it for you.

Does it only work in Lake Charles?

No. The sample data is a made-up Lake Charles landscaping company, but your AI swaps in your towns, your labels and your local events sources in a few minutes.

Rather have it built for you?

Start with an AI audit. We'll map where a morning brief like this saves you time every week.
