6AM Accelerator Application

Apply to 6AM directly in Claude

Connect Claude to 6AM, and use all your existing information in Claude to fill out the application. It takes you through the questions, you answer, and you end up with a filled-in application that you read through and submit yourself.

  1. 1

    Connect Claude to 6AM

    Connect(opens in a new tab)

    Opens Claude in a new tab with everything filled in. Press Continue, then Add. You only do this once.

    Claude shows a warning that the connector came from an external link. That is expected, and it appears for every connector that isn't in Claude's own directory.

    Nothing happening? On a work account with Claude Team or Enterprise, only an admin can add connectors. Use a personal account, or ask your admin to add 6AM.

  2. 2

    Paste this into Claude

    Claude pulls all the questions, and guides you through the process. You can choose to answer through (old school) typing or use existing information to fill out the answers.

    You're always in control and can go back and forth to perfect your answers.

  3. 3

    Submit your application

    At the end Claude gives you a link to the application form with the answers filled in. If you want, you can upload an attachment and logo. Lastly, you submit.

    Claude submits nothing on your behalf, you're the boss.

Would you rather write it yourself? The application form is here.

The rest is for Claude

Claude reads this page while helping you. Read on if you are curious, but you don't have to.

About the program

Three ways to fill it in

Claude asks which you prefer before it starts.

  1. From material you already have. If you have a pitch, a document, or a project in Claude, it reads that and proposes answers. Fastest, but read the result especially carefully at the end.
  2. You answer questions. Claude interviews you, one question at a time.
  3. A bit of both. Claude proposes from your material and asks where there are gaps.

Before the link

Before Claude makes the link, it goes through everything that is still open with you: questions it could not answer, answers it had to guess, and anything from your material that may be out of date. It takes them one at a time. For each one, you can answer, ask Claude to suggest something, or leave it to fill in yourself in the form.

How it ends

When every question is answered, or you have chosen to leave the rest for the form, Claude makes the link. You can also ask for the link at any time, and Claude makes it with whatever it has so far.

If you skipped step 1, Claude can still help you with the answers but can't make the link. In that case you type them into the form yourself.
