Claude, example reply
Here's what needs doing, in the same order HelloNoa's own advisor ranks it:
- Startup XYZ's invoice for Brand Launch is 7 days overdue.
- Alex T. hasn't signed the website redesign contract.
- The Brand Launch contract is drafted and waiting to send.
Claude, example reply
Done. There's a draft invoice for Brand Launch in your HelloNoa account, built from the hours you logged. Open it to check it over. Sending it is your call, not mine.
Claude, example reply
Done. There's a draft contract for Kelso Studio in your HelloNoa account. Open it to review. I can't send it for e-signature, that tap is yours.
Claude, example reply
Here's the reminder text for your most overdue invoice, and a link to send it yourself from HelloNoa. I can't email your client for you.
HelloNoa · In your account: you send
Nothing new yet.
Drafts land here as real, editable documents.
Nothing new created.
That was a lookup. Claude read the same ranking the app's own advisor uses, and changed nothing in your account.
Invoice
Brand Launch
Built from the hours you logged. Yours to open and finish.
Contract
Kelso Studio
A real, editable document. Nothing has reached your client.
Payment reminder
Your most overdue invoice
The text is prepared. It goes nowhere until you send it.
Your tap, not Claude's.
Nothing to send. Try one of the drafting prompts next.
Sending, signing, paying and deleting stay here, with you.
An example with made-up clients, not a live chat. Every real reply tells you what's still missing before you can send, and if you leave something out, like how many hours, it asks rather than guesses.
Or carry on
Keep using the chat you already have.
If you've already talked a project through with Claude, keep using that chat rather than starting a new one. It knows the client, the scope and your numbers, so you don't have to type them again.
- DraftsThe proposal and the invoice arrive as drafts for you to open and finish.
- SavedThe client and the hours save straight away.
Every reply tells you what's still missing before you can send, and if you leave something out, like how many hours, it asks rather than guesses.
One chat, five sentences
- 1"Add Kelso Studio as a client."
- 2"Draft a proposal for the rebrand we talked through."
- 3"Add phase two at £1,200."
- 4"Log the three hours I did Tuesday on that project."
- 5"Now draft the invoice for phase one."
A second front door, not a second brain
What it can and cannot do.
Your own Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude mobile or Claude Code) works your HelloNoa account through the same guarded actions the app itself uses. It can only take the actions the app itself offers.
Claude can
- Tell you what needs doing next, the same ranking the app's own advisor uses
- Search your invoices, clients and projects
- Give you an indicative tax snapshot (Pro plan)
- Create a proposal, contract or quick invoice draft for you to review
- Log an expense (any plan) or a block of hours (Essential plan and up)
- Add a client
- Hand you your client onboarding link
- Prepare a payment reminder's text and a link to send it yourself
Designed so Claude cannot
- Send, nudge or email a client on your behalf
- Send a document for e-signature, or sign one
- Take, refund or move a payment
- Delete, archive or destroy anything
- List every record at once; every search is scoped and capped
- See a client you have marked Private by name or email
These stay with you:
Send Sign Pay Delete
Drafts land in your account as real, editable documents. Nothing reaches a client on its own: sending, signing, paying and deleting stay with you.

FAQs
Honest answers.
A freelancer cheers at a desk. Noa waits at the edge of the picture with a rolled-up contract.
What does Claude see of my clients?
The connector is built so that a client you mark Private (on their own page in HelloNoa) is not named to a connected assistant, and so that a client you mark Hidden from AI does not appear at all, on any plan; the one exception is whole-account tax totals, which include every client's figures without naming anyone. Claude only gets what the specific request returns, not a general export of your account.
What does HelloNoa log?
We log which tool ran and when (not your conversation) and delete that log automatically after 12 months.
What should I tell my clients?
Your clients never agreed to HelloNoa's terms, so before you connect: say in your own privacy notice that an AI assistant helps manage their records (a line you can copy: 'We use an AI assistant to help manage client records; it processes what we send it under its own provider's privacy terms.'), and mark anyone you don't want reachable as Private or Hidden from AI. The lawful basis for processing their data through your assistant stays with you, not HelloNoa; typically legitimate interests, which you should be able to justify if asked.
How do I disconnect?
Any time, from Settings, Connected apps. Disconnecting in Settings stops access straight away, but doesn't erase what Claude already read: clear that in Claude's own data controls. Full detail in our Privacy Policy.
Do I need a HelloNoa account first?
No. Sign up at the same step you connect: free, no card, 14 days of Pro, and you land straight back in Claude, connected.
Does it work with other assistants?
Yes. It's built on MCP, the open standard AI assistants use, so other MCP-compatible assistants work too.
