Robyn Anderson advises small-business owners to master Claude before building custom AI systems. Non-developers should outsource bespoke development while training their staff on Claude, which entrepreneurs increasingly prefer over ChatGPT for business automation.
Robyn Anderson, discussions around AI, I guess they're kind of all over the place right now. But as someone who is in the thick of trying to build a business in this space, what's harder than people might think or expect when trying to build something around AI right now?
Well, I would suggest learning the tools before you try to build. So I'm helping most small business owners use Claude now. Claude seems to be the, the best of the best for building your business systems. Yes. And so we're doing a lot of Claude training specifically. But when it comes to your own AI systems, unless you're a developer, I would hire that out. I would say hire that out and learn Claude. And the other tip is get your employees to learn Claude as well.
I mean, at the moment there's, you know, I guess the two bigger players are ChatGPT and Claude, and we are hearing a lot of people leaning towards Claude.
I wouldn't compare them apples to apples anymore at all. And yes, I do use ChatGPT still. I use ChatGPT for mostly image creation. So they got an image upgrade about 3 weeks ago called Image 2.0. And It does amazing marketing images, stuff graphic designers used to have to do. But as far as the difference between the two, Claude is actually a desktop app. You have the chat, the co-work feature, and code, and you're actually giving it access to your computer. And rather than just being a chatbot, you know, being a commander, you're being an architect when you work with Claude and it's developing things for you. It's building projects for you. It's creating work for you.
