stop using the wrong Claude for your business
|
Hey Reader, I ignored the best version of Claude for 6 months. And I'm the guy with 25+ years of engineering experience. If I got this wrong, the odds you're using the right one are not great. Here's the mistake, and why fixing it gave me back 10 hours a week. The room without a phone.Most business owners use Claude in the browser, like ChatGPT with better vibes. It answers questions well, and it would be easy to think that that's all you need. But that's like hiring a brilliant PA and locking them in a room without a phone. You can slide questions under the door, but they can'd do most of the work for you. So you're paying full price for an under-performer. Not good. The lesson that took me 6 months.The value of AI in a business is not answers, but it's actual work done. For example, my YouTube competitor research, newsletter writing, social media analytics and similar busywork uses to mean I'd have to log into every apps, copy pasting stuff into spreadsheets. Hours of my week gone to things I knew AI should be able to do. So now, Claude does 80 to 90% of it on my computer, and I just review and approve. Same subscription price. Completely different output. The only thing that changed is which version of Claude I run. And no, it's not the magical Claude Code, which actually has a brutal learning curve for beginners. The part I can't put in an email.I recorded exactly which version I use, the dashboard that replaced weeks of busywork, and the pricing mistake mistake most owners make before they even start. Just one number from that dashboard I built in it changed the way I run my business today. Watch which Claude I actually use here: Talk next week, |

Hey Reader, People keep asking me about open source models, especially now with GLM 5.2. But here's how I think about them: If you think hiring a pro is expensive, try an amateur. Sure, they can be cheaper, but I'd never run my business on them. Here's why. What local models get right. First, they're cheap. They sometimes run on your own computer. So you don't have to pay for every question you ask throughout the day. Second, they're also private. Your data never leaves your machine. A local...
Hey Reader, I used to spend 30 minutes to an hour every single day logging into Instagram, Google Analytics, and half a dozen other tools just to see how my business was doing. And I'm literally an engineer with 25+ years of experience. That's 10 hours a week of pure busy work. Here's the exact system I built to get those hours back. You are the bridge. That's the problem. Every morning you log into tool A, look at a number, and carry it in your head to tool B. You're a human bridge between...
Hey Reader, Everyone told you Claude Cowork would make your business 10x more productive. Instead you feel like you have more work than ever. That's not your fault, and I made the same mistake for months. Here's what's actually going wrong. Your AI chats are a broken. You probably have one chat for marketing, one for content, one for random questions. None of them talk to each other. That's like running a business where marketing and sales never meet, and nobody remembers what was decided...
