Three Things You'll Get from This
- 1. Know when Claude beats ChatGPT (and when it doesn't)Claude isn't better at everything. It's better at specific things. Long-form writing. Following detailed instructions. Working with big documents. Coding. I'll show you the tasks where Claude wins, the ones where ChatGPT is still ahead, and the ones where Perplexity or Gemini make more sense. You'll stop guessing which tool to open.
- 2. Claude-specific techniques most people never learnClaude responds differently to instructions than ChatGPT. Projects give you persistent context across conversations, so Claude remembers your preferences and tone every time. Extended thinking mode lets the model reason through a hard problem before answering, which means fewer wrong answers on complex tasks. These aren't hidden features. They're just not obvious, and most people never discover them. I'll show you how each one works on your actual tasks.
- 3. A working output you built yourselfBring a real problem. We'll build a working solution together in Claude during the session. Not a demo. Your problem, solved live, so you see exactly how to do it again on Monday.
It's quite amazing what is possible today. I don't think I appreciated how far along the technology is already beyond basic ChatGPT.
What We'll Actually Cover
Before the session, I send you a short questionnaire. What you do, what you've tried, what's not working. I read it before we start so we're not wasting time covering ground you already know.
First 20 minutes: Fundamentals
How these models actually work (at a level that's useful, not academic). Why Claude and ChatGPT produce different outputs from the same prompt. What "English is a programming language" means in practice. What extended thinking does and when to turn it on. What Projects are and why they change everything. Context that makes the next 50 minutes click.
Next 50 minutes: Live work
You bring a real task. We open Claude and start building. I'll show you how Projects work for persistent context. How to get Claude to produce McKinsey-style research reports. How to use artifacts to build documents without copy-pasting. How to ask the model to write the prompt for you. We'll compare Claude and ChatGPT outputs side by side so you can see the difference yourself. We'll touch on Perplexity, Gemini, and Abacus depending on what fits your work.
Last 20 minutes: Your questions
What you're worried about. How to set this up on your work laptop. What to do when Claude gives you something wrong. The honest limitations. Where AI hallucinates and how to catch it.
You'll leave with a full recording, a searchable transcript, and post-session notes with links to everything we covered. You'll know what to do on Tuesday. Want the full breakdown? Read what happens in a session.
Who This Is For
- Writers, strategists, and analysts who've heard Claude is better for their work but haven't cracked it. Claude's writing quality is noticeably better for long-form content. I'll show you why.
- Lawyers, consultants, and researchers who work with long documents. Claude's 200K context window means you can feed it an entire contract or research paper and ask questions about it. I've done this in sessions with legal teams and finance professionals. It works.
- People already using ChatGPT who suspect there's something better for certain tasks. You're right. But switching tools without understanding the differences wastes time. I'll give you the framework.
- Business owners who want to understand what's actually out there. Not just the model that got famous first. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity. Which one does what. Where the real differences are.
- Anyone paying for a Claude subscription and using 10% of it. Projects, extended thinking, artifacts, the system prompt. If those words mean nothing to you, this session will fix that.
How This Works: 90 Minutes
You book a 90-minute session. We run it on Zoom or in person in London. You bring your laptop. We do the work. That's it.
No packages. No upsell. No "you'll need the premium bundle."
- 90 minutes of my full attention
- A recording and transcript of the whole session
- Post-session notes you can refer back to whenever you need them
Available on Zoom worldwide or in-person in London.

Common Questions
Do I need a Claude subscription before the session?
No. I have all the subscriptions. We'll use mine during the session. Afterwards, I'll tell you honestly which plan makes sense for your usage. The free tier is enough to test it. Pro is $20/month. If you're not sure, don't buy anything until after we've talked.
What's the difference between Claude and ChatGPT?
Different companies, different models, different strengths. Claude is generally better at writing, following complex instructions, and working with long documents. ChatGPT has a bigger ecosystem and is better for image generation and some agent tasks. I'll show you both during the session so you can judge with your own work, not a generic comparison chart.
Will we only cover Claude?
No. Claude is the focus, but we'll cover ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Abacus too. The point is knowing which tool fits which task. If ChatGPT is better for something you need, I'll tell you that. I don't have a favourite. I recommend Claude for writing and analysis, ChatGPT for image generation, Perplexity for research. It depends on the task.
What about Claude Code and Cowork?
This session covers Claude the AI model. How to use it, how to prompt it, how to get great outputs from it. If you want to learn Cowork specifically (Claude's desktop automation tool), I run a separate session for that. If you're not sure which one you need, message me and I'll point you in the right direction.
I've never used any AI tool. Is this too advanced?
Not at all. I'll start wherever you are. If you've never opened Claude or ChatGPT, we begin with the basics. If you're already using it daily and want to go deeper, we start there instead. The pre-session questionnaire means I know your level before we start.
Is this online or in person?
Your choice. I'm in London. Video works the same.
What's the difference between this and the AI trainer London page?
The AI trainer London page covers all AI tools equally for people who want general training. This page is for you if you specifically want to learn Claude properly, plus how it compares to the alternatives. Same session format, different emphasis.
