In a recent LinkedIn post, Kobi Omenaka discusses using Claude Code to handle everyday business administration through plain-English instructions. This article reports on Omenaka’s suggestions and the caution he attaches to them; it is coverage of his LinkedIn post, not a piece written by him.

“You type what you want in plain English, like you’d ask a human bod.”

Omenaka’s central point is accessibility: he says business owners do not need to write code to try the tool. The post presents Claude Code as a way to delegate specific, repetitive tasks by describing the desired result in ordinary language. The examples focus on common paperwork rather than software development.

Five admin tasks to try

Omenaka offers five prompts aimed at reducing time spent handling receipts, quotes, invoices and payment follow-ups. They include turning receipt photos into a spreadsheet, preparing a quote from customer requirements and a price list, and sorting unpaid invoices by age.

“Look at my invoice list and tell me who hasn’t paid, oldest first.”

He also suggests using the tool to draft friendly chasing emails and turn a job list into an invoice. Taken together, the examples frame AI assistance as a practical starting point for a business owner who wants to address one nagging task at a time. Omenaka advises readers to “Pick the one that annoys you most and start there.”

Keep a person in the review loop

The post does not present automation as a reason to send generated work straight to customers. Omenaka explicitly recommends reviewing the output, particularly the sums, before acting on it:

“Check what it gives you before anything goes to a customer (it’s fast, but I’d still check the sums 😅).”

That qualification is central to his advice. The suggested workflow may speed up preparation, but the business owner remains responsible for checking figures and deciding whether a quote, invoice or email is ready to send. Omenaka’s examples are prompts to try, not a guarantee that the tool will produce error-free paperwork.

A small first step for overwhelmed owners

Omenaka closes by connecting the suggestions to the familiar pressure of after-hours admin, asking readers to save the post for a Sunday night. His approach is incremental: choose a task that causes frustration, describe it plainly, then inspect the result before using it. The post also invites readers to subscribe to his Substack for weekly plain-English ideas about handing admin to Claude Code.

For small businesses curious about AI but unsure where to begin, Omenaka’s post makes the case for starting with a bounded, routine task—and keeping human review as part of the process.
