When AI only needs to read a HubSpot portal, connect it view-only.
Nico's assistant lets one account hold connections to several HubSpot portals, so each connection is made once.
Check what an AI reports against the system itself: Trisha built a HubSpot view because she wasn't sure she trusted what Claude was seeing.
A service's connector can deliver its value without anyone opening the interface, which is how Nico now uses Stripe with Claude.
Nico gives his AI a journal and regular reflection periods, and lets it edit its constitution and how it responds, but not its configuration.
Nico prefers instruction to hooks, yet the computer where his AI stays on task is the one with a hook that makes it check its constitution.
In Nico's view, the role emotion plays in a decision is leniency, which is why machines are not put in charge of judging.
Nico expects marketing to move from personal opinion to calculated, statistical decisions made with AI.
