Try before you buy

I read an interesting article about a surge in subscriptions for Anthropic’s Claude AI tool. All of the development on the AI side is great, but I almost think there may be a cautionary tale here for small businesses: be careful that you don’t become too dependent or “locked in” on any one model unless you have fully vetted what it can do and whether it works for your organization.

This is still a verym very fast-developing field, and what may be the best tool today might be left in the dust tomorrow.

I think the takeaway is clear: try all the tools to see what they can do, but keep your focus on people and processes. Make sure AI tools stay tools, and don’t outsource your thinking to them.
