I’m so glad I stumbled on your article. I am a millennial, with nearly 20 years experience in aerospace and defense, now in residential construction as a Director of Operational Excellence.

I write about OpEx, scaling business, identifying and rectifying bottlenecks, and leadership development.

My goal is to teach cohorts in identifying bottlenecks in process and decisions, eliminating waste, and saving time.

I use Chat GPT often to help me ideate. I have 10 or so years in learning and development within my career, but I’ve never launched something like this on my own. I don’t want to fail, so I leverage AI where I can.

I’ve never used Claude, but I’ve heard many good things (mostly from coders).

Do you think it can help with what I am trying to do? What would the benefits be of switching from Chat to Claude in my situation?

You are exactly who I wrote this for!!! Nearly 20 years of experience is impressive and that expertise is exactly what makes AI worth picking up.

To answer your question directly, yeah Claude can help with what you're building. Here's where I'd focus if I were you:

Claude's Projects feature lets you upload your frameworks and methodology once, and it holds all of it every time you come back. It's exceptional at taking your raw expertise, a brain dump, a rough outline, and turning it into structured curriculum and teachable systems.

For someone building a cohort solo for the first time, it acts like a thinking partner that helps you slow down and make good decisions.

You don't need to abandon ChatGPT overnight, but I'd start one Project in Claude and load your core methodology into it.

This is so insightful. I have a couple of draft articles on AI that I've been nervous to post about

Thank you, and why are you so nervous? Is the Substack audience anti-AI😅
