Life Code AIby Shawn Dodd · IronRanger Get it · $168

From Shawn Dodd · IronRanger023 · Former Army Ranger

You're not behind on AI. Nobody handed you the field manual.

Six ready-made AI assistants for the Claude app, the same command team I run my day on. They brief you every morning, sort your inbox and catch family-calendar collisions. About 15 minutes to set up, and we do it with you.

$168 once · Wave 2 will be $388. All in: plus Claude Pro (about $20/mo, paid to Anthropic), the app it runs inside. Nothing else.

  • Built for people who've never used Claude
  • 5 live sessions with Shawn
  • Never sends anything without your OK

The 2-minute tour

Watch how I run my day with it

Illustration of the Claude app on a phone. Your screens show your own day.

Sound familiar?

Everybody says AI changes everything.
Nobody showed you where to start.

"I tried it once. Got a weird answer. Closed the tab."

A blank box with a blinking cursor isn't a tool. It's homework.

"My calendar is actually three calendars."

Work, the kids, and whatever your partner told you in the kitchen on the way out the door.

"My inbox is a second job I never applied for."

Forty emails, four that matter, and you can't tell which four until 10 PM.

"My kids use AI. My competitors use AI. I'm googling it."

The gap feels like it's getting wider every week you wait.

The problem isn't you. It's that AI shows up with no orders. Life Code AI gives it orders, so it shows up already knowing its job.

The advantage is switching sides

The kids got AI first.
The people who know what they're doing will win with it.

For two years AI has been a toy for 22-year-olds. They're fast. But speed was never the hard part. Knowing what "good" looks like, reading a room, keeping a client, raising a family: that took you twenty years. AI can't fake that. It can only multiply it.

A 25-year-old with AI
  • Fast drafts
  • No idea which ones matter
  • No relationships to call on
  • Never been burned, so can't spot the trap
You with Life Code AI
  • The same speed, set up in 15 minutes
  • Twenty years of judgment deciding what's worth doing
  • A network, a reputation, a track record
  • The scars that tell you what not to do

Experience plus AI beats youth plus AI every time. All you were missing was the setup.

Why I built this

I run my life on a $15,000 AI system. These are the six pieces I'd hand my own squad.

I spent seven years in the Army and earned my Ranger tab. Then I spent years in corporate leadership. Then COVID put me in the ICU for almost four weeks, and I walked out with one question: what am I doing with my time?

I rebuilt around my family. I built a community of 1.3 million people. And recently I started running my business and my house on TACANNI's full AI system, a $15,000, 36-skill AI team. It changed how I work.

You keep asking me what I use. So I asked TACANNI to pull out the six pieces that matter for everybody, no matter what you do, and make them dead simple to set up. That's Life Code AI.

What's inside

Meet your command team

Six AI skills that plug into Claude. Each one knows its job, asks you only what it needs, and hands the work to the right teammate. You talk to it like a person.

01 · The front door

Chief of Staff

Tell it what's going on in plain English. It asks a couple of quick questions, then gets the right teammate on it. Day one, it interviews you and builds your profile so everything after that fits your life.

Say"Chief of staff, set me up."
02 · Every morning

Daily Briefing

One screen, every morning: today's meetings and the kids' stuff, the five emails that actually need you, deadlines, and one thing that moves the mission. Set it once and it shows up on its own.

Say"Brief me."
03 · Inbox

Inbox Manager

Sorts the pile into Act today, This week, FYI and Junk, and drafts replies that sound like you. You hit send. It never does.

Say"Clean up my inbox in 15."
04 · Home front

House Manager

Practices, recitals, carpools, birthdays, date night, groceries, the furnace filter. It catches "two kids, two fields, one driver" before Saturday and drafts the Sunday huddle for your partner.

Say"Plan our week."
05 · Words

Copywriter

The email to the client, the text to the coach, the LinkedIn post, the hard message you've been putting off. Written to land, in your voice, and it never makes things up.

Say"Help me write this."
06 · Big calls

Leadership Council

A big decision? A room of legendary leaders argues it out, and I've got a seat at that table too. You don't get a lecture. You get a call: the move, the cost, and your next 72 hours.

Say"Council: should I take the job?"

A day with Life Code AI

168 hours a week. Take some of them back.

Stuck at any point? Bring it to Tuesday's live session, or ask the IronRanger assistant in the corner of this page.

The part everyone worries about

Connecting your email and calendar? We do it with you.

This is where AI stops being a chatbot and starts acting like a chief of staff. It's also where most people get stuck on their own. So you won't be on your own. The IronRanger is with you the whole way.

  • A 2-minute "what do you use?" checkGmail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo, or work email run by IT. Your steps change to match your setup, click by click.
  • The IronRanger assistant, 24/7Tell it what's on your screen and it walks you to the next click. No dumb questions.
  • Session 2 is all connections, liveTuesday, Nov 17. We connect your world together, then put your morning brief on autopilot.
  • Still stuck? A real human answersEmail the team and you'll hear back from a person, usually within one business day.
  • Still stuck? A real human follows upOne tap on "Talk to a human" and the team sees exactly where you got stuck.

Your only homework

Know your passwords

Connecting is quick, but only if you can sign in. Before you start, have these ready:

  • Your email password. The one you use to sign in to Gmail or Outlook, not just the one saved on your phone.
  • Your phone, in your hand. Google or Microsoft will probably text you a code or ask "Is this you?"
  • Work email? Your IT person's name. Some companies have to approve it first, and your Chief of Staff drafts that note for you.
  • Forgot a password? Reset it before you start. It's the #1 thing that stalls people.
You only ever type your password on Google's or Microsoft's own sign-in page. Never in a chat, never to us. Nobody from Life Code AI will ever ask for it.

Straight talk

Who this is for

It's for you if

  • You're busy, you're sharp, and AI feels like a party nobody invited you to.
  • You run a business, a team, a household, or all three at once.
  • You want it set up and working, not a 40-hour course on "prompting."
  • You'd rather spend your evenings with your people than your inbox.

It's not for you if

  • You already build AI agents for fun on weekends.
  • You want a robot that sends emails and spends money without asking. (It won't. On purpose.)
  • You're looking for a magic button. This is a team. You're still the leader.

Questions

The stuff people ask me

I'm over 50 and not a tech person. Can I really do this?

Yes. If you can send a text, you can run this. You talk to it in plain English. "Brief me" is the whole command. Setup takes about 15 minutes with a short video for every step, and we connect your email and calendar with you live.

I've never used Claude. Is that a problem?

No. That's exactly who this is built for. The setup guide starts at "download the app," every step has a short video, and the IronRanger assistant on this page can walk you through it one click at a time.and Session 1 sets it up live with you.

Claude vs ChatGPT: why Claude?

Claude is an AI assistant made by Anthropic. It has a feature called Skills: files that teach it how to do a specific job well and load only when you need them. Life Code AI is six of those skills. It's what I use every day.

What else do I have to pay for?

A Claude paid plan, because custom skills need one. For most people that's Pro, about $20 a month, paid directly to Anthropic (check claude.ai for current pricing). Nothing else. Life Code AI itself is $168, one time.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Upload the skills once (a computer is easiest for that step), and they're there in the Claude app on your phone too. Ask for your brief by voice in the truck if you like.

Does it read my email? Is my family's information safe?

Only if you connect your email and calendar, and you can disconnect anytime. The skills never send, delete, unsubscribe or buy anything without your OK in the conversation. Don't paste passwords, bank numbers or medical records into any AI tool. Your data is handled under Anthropic's privacy terms, and we'll show you the settings worth checking.

I use Outlook, not Gmail. Will it work?

Yes. Claude connects to Gmail and Google Calendar, and to Microsoft 365 (Outlook). Using iCloud or Yahoo? The skills still work: you paste in what matters and they do the rest.

I can't make Tuesdays at noon.

Every session is recorded and the replay goes on your setup page. Send your question in ahead of time and we'll answer it on the call, so you get the answer even if you watch later.

What if I get stuck?

Bring it to a live session, ask the IronRanger assistant (bottom right, any time), or email us. Most people are stuck on one setting, and we know which one.

Is this a subscription?

No. $168 once. The skills are yours to keep.

Will the price go up?

Yes. First Wave doors close end of day Sunday, November 15 (11:59 PM Central). Wave 2 will be $388, with its own live series. First Wave members keep their price and get the skill updates.

Can I get more skills later?

Yes. Inside your setup page there's a "request a skill" form. Tell us what you want it to do. We'll build the most-requested ones, and deeper kits are coming for people who want to go further.

Life Code

Your life won't change by accident.

Fifteen minutes to set up. Five weeks of live help. One morning brief that changes how your day starts.
