Dear subscribers,
Thanks to all of you who replied to my post about my mom. I just open-sourced my /fuck-cancer skill to help caregivers organize info and advocate for patients. If you find it useful, please ⭐ the repo so more people can find it. Now, on to today’s post:
A few months ago, I used Claude for almost everything. Today, my AI model usage looks very different.
In my new tutorial below, I compare ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Gemini head-to-head for writing, design, coding, personal agents, and 6 other use cases.
Watch my 26-min tutorial now to see my picks — a few of them might surprise you.
Timestamps:
(00:00) ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Gemini across 10 use cases
(00:32) Still the best model for design (apps, slides, video)
(07:34) This model's personality just isn't the same
(09:58) The best model for writing and editing
(12:06) The model I trust for difficult decisions
(16:01) The most underrated AI capability
(22:31) Grok vs. Gemini for AI video
(23:55) The AI race that matters more than coding
(25:52) My overall winner (and the best model to start with)

Get early access to my upcoming AI course before the price goes up in September
The tutorial above will help you choose the right AI for each job, but that’s only the first step. To get the most out of AI, I think everyone should build a personal AI system that proactively takes work off their plate.
I’ll show you exactly how to set up this system in my upcoming course on behindthecraft.com. The first two modules are available now:
Build your AI chief of staff to manage your inbox, calendar, and other tasks.
Set up your personal AI advisor to make better decisions about your life, career, and business.
The full course will also include:
25+ lessons on finding the right work to automate, creating reusable AI skills, and setting up my proven workflows.
An AI assistant and MCP that’ll guide you through the course and help you set everything up inside ChatGPT, Claude Code, or another AI tool.
I plan to increase the annual subscription price once the full course launches in September. Upgrade now to lock in $150/year and get the first two modules today.
As a reminder, your subscription also includes 12+ handcrafted AI skills, $270 in AI tool perks, and an invite to my private Slack community where we host monthly expert-led live workshops.
This course is my main focus for the next few weeks, aside from taking care of my mom. I’m working hard to make it great (no AI slop!), so check out behindthecraft.com if you want to join at the early access price.
