My take
Why I use it
Claude is my go-to AI for everything, writing, coding, strategy, research. I use it to build automations, write content, and think through problems. It's the tool I open before anything else each morning.

Review
My full review
I've used ChatGPT on the free plan, and tried Copilot enough to know it's not for me. I haven't used Gemini. Of what I have used, Claude is the one I keep coming back to, it's the tool I open before anything else each morning, and the one that actually reasons through a problem with me instead of just answering it.
I use it daily for writing content, building automations in n8n, reviewing code, and planning my business. It's become the most important tool in my stack.
The free plan is genuinely useful, but if you're running a business, the Pro plan at $20/month pays for itself many times over.
