Dan Martell - Why I Switched From ChatGPT to Claude (without losing anything)

00:00:00.000 ChatGPT uninstalled Spike 295% in a single day.

00:00:04.300 Experts say OpenAI could run out of cash by mid-2027.

00:00:07.960 OpenAI just honestly looks desperate.

00:00:09.840 Meanwhile, you got Claude that has been on the rise.

00:00:12.800 Claude has emerged as one of the most favorite AI platforms.

00:00:15.340 That guy Claude is very busy.

00:00:16.760 Anthropic has updated its AI model, Claude, Opus 4.6.

00:00:20.700 It hit number one spot on the App Store, dethroning ChatGPT for the first time ever.

00:00:26.040 My team and I run AI across dozens of companies every single day,

00:00:29.640 and I see what works and what doesn't.

00:00:31.900 And that's why I've switched everybody over to Claude.

00:00:34.820 So in this video, I'm gonna walk you through

00:00:36.520 what I found when I looked under the hood of both companies,

00:00:39.300 the tools inside Claude

00:00:40.580 that most people don't even know exist.

00:00:42.620 And if you stick around till the very end,

00:00:44.580 I'm gonna show you exactly how to make the switch

00:00:46.400 from ChatGPT or any AI to Claude

00:00:49.220 without losing your memory, your context, or your projects.

00:00:51.920 Starting with why I'm betting on Claude in the first place. 0.91

00:00:54.640 You gotta bet on the right f***ing horse. 0.73

00:00:56.300 Whatever AI tool I choose 0.63

00:00:58.140 is going to be a massive part of my workflows, my team, my companies I'm involved in, how I

00:01:02.740 freaking operate. So I have to pick the right horse when it comes to AI. OpenAI right now,

00:01:07.460 starting to run ads inside its product. If you think it's free, it's not. You know who's paying?

00:01:12.060 You with your data. They're projected to do 14 billion in loss in 26. And a lot of the analysts

00:01:16.980 are projecting that they're going to run out of cash by mid-2027. They've got $1.5 trillion in

00:01:22.980 financial commitments, and they don't have the revenue to back it up. And that's not playing

00:01:27.280 offense. That's making moves out of pressure. Then you have Anthropic, the people who built

00:01:31.220 Claude. Cash burns dropping every year. They're on track to break even years before OpenAI.

00:01:36.480 And their revenues doubled in the last 12 months from 10 to 20 billion. It's crazy because they're

00:01:41.100 a third of the size of OpenAI. So right off the bat, they're more efficient. And the most important

00:01:45.340 part, the people that are at the edge of AI are picking Claude. Plus, Claude's entire ecosystem

00:01:51.460 is leading the pack in the whole AI space. They're literally the innovators. Claude Chat,

00:01:56.240 Your best writing and research partner, crazy.

00:01:58.840 Cloud Chrome, it does things in your browser for you

00:02:01.760 when you don't know where the thing is on the website.

00:02:03.740 Cloud Cowork, doing the work on your actual computer,

00:02:07.100 refiling, restructuring, searching for stuff.

00:02:09.960 And Cloud Code, allowing you to write custom solutions,

00:02:13.960 scripts, whatever you need,

00:02:15.500 without knowing how to write code.

00:02:17.200 And that's why I wanna go into each one of these

00:02:19.180 so you can see what I mean.

00:02:20.520 Point number two, Cloud Chat.

00:02:22.380 Most people assume that it's basically

00:02:24.660 the same as ChatGPT.

00:02:26.240 it's not first memory chat gpt holds a million token context window and you've got claude saying

00:02:33.840 the same here's the deal it's not how big it is it's how it's used and claude's just stays sharper

00:02:39.140 and more relevant where chat gpt is just trying to play catch up just throwing stuff at the wall

00:02:43.380 it's like comparing engine types you can have the same six liter engines but they don't work the

00:02:48.460 same the second is tonality just look at how chat gpt answers you it's literally like it just gives

00:02:54.600 do an answer. Claude gives you something a sharp person on your team would have written. Why?

00:02:59.340 It's memory, it's structure, the way it's taught. For writing, it's always been the best, but now

00:03:04.260 it's getting really good for framework strategy. Essentially, the voice control is on a completely

00:03:09.220 different level for how it actually helps you. For example, at Martell Ventures, we have people

00:03:14.740 applying all the time for investments. So we have them fill out an intake form, which has a bunch of

00:03:19.780 data, revenue, team size, their struggles, their goals,

00:03:23.020 everything.

00:03:23.740 When we were using ChaiGPT to analyze that,

00:03:25.980 all the insight was just surface level,

00:03:27.980 kind of stuff that any basic person could figure out.

00:03:31.040 Claude found correlations between revenue ranges,

00:03:33.960 pain points, and even brought up things

00:03:36.060 that we didn't even think to think about,

00:03:38.160 a completely different analysis.

00:03:40.160 And in simple terms, when you use Claude versus GPT,

00:03:43.320 it just feels more substantial, more polished,

00:03:47.200 more relevant.

00:03:49.280 It's like talking to a really smart person

00:03:51.480 that can also explain themselves in very simple terms

00:03:54.460 to make you feel smart.

00:03:56.120 GPT just feels like it's annoyed with you.

00:03:58.620 And look, we're gonna dive into some really geeky stuff

00:04:01.260 at the end of this video,

00:04:02.320 and it can be a little overwhelming.

00:04:04.240 So if you want, I put together an AI cheat sheet

00:04:06.640 that shows CEOs and their teams

00:04:08.460 how to do twice the work in half the time.

00:04:10.940 It'll help you understand everything

00:04:12.400 we're about to talk about.

00:04:13.640 So if you want that,

00:04:14.560 just DM me the word YouTube AI on Instagram

00:04:16.680 and I'll send it right over.

00:04:17.640 All right, so Cloud thinks better, and it writes better,

00:04:20.580 but what about when you're working in your browser?

00:04:23.380 That's where Cloud in Chrome comes in,

00:04:25.400 and it's gonna blow your mind.

00:04:27.200 Point three is Cloud in Chrome.

00:04:29.820 Now I know, does it work in other browsers?

00:04:31.540 They're not supported yet,

00:04:32.700 and honestly, Chrome's the best one,

00:04:34.060 so just migrate yourself over to Chrome.

00:04:36.560 This browser extension, which is very simple,

00:04:39.100 just go to the extensions, the browser,

00:04:41.100 and just go install, okay?

00:04:42.680 And it's gonna ask you to connect to your Cloud account.

00:04:44.660 Boom, you're good to go.

00:04:46.020 Essentially, this extension turns your browser

00:04:48.400 into an AI-powered workspace.

00:04:51.160 Claude sits in this little tiny panel to the right

00:04:53.980 and it sees what you see.

00:04:55.820 It knows where you're at.

00:04:57.020 It knows what you're doing.

00:04:58.500 And you can ask it anything.

00:05:00.500 You could have your email open and say,

00:05:02.620 hey, process this thread of emails

00:05:04.380 and tell me the TLDR, which means summary.

00:05:06.920 You could be in Amazon and be like,

00:05:09.120 I need to turn on two-factor authentication

00:05:10.940 because I heard security is a thing and ask it to do it.

00:05:13.480 and it will navigate Amazon and do it for you.

00:05:15.880 I even had it.

00:05:16.860 This one's gonna blow your mind.

00:05:17.860 Don't tell my team.

00:05:18.880 I had it go through all my Slack messages,

00:05:21.300 find the ones I didn't reply to, reply for me.

00:05:24.080 Save the replies in a spreadsheet

00:05:25.540 so I could see what I said to the people

00:05:27.060 because I was behind.

00:05:28.380 I was gone for a week, but nobody noticed.

00:05:30.900 Anything that's in the browser, it knows how to do.

00:05:32.680 Google Sheets, Google Docs, emails, Notion.

00:05:36.140 Just watch it work.

00:05:37.780 You wanna do competitive research?

00:05:39.460 It can do it.

00:05:40.040 You wanna pull pricing from other people,

00:05:41.760 positioning, brand stuff, it can do it. Things like I just said used to be an afternoon worth

00:05:47.920 of work that's done in minutes automagically for you. They even have this crazy feature where you

00:05:53.040 can record your workflow doing something. Let's say it's project management or it's like managing

00:05:57.640 your Slack channel or processing email and it'll record what you're doing and then it'll document

00:06:02.560 what you did into an SOP for other people to follow or you can have AI do it for you. And I'm

00:06:07.980 going to show you visually in the teach section. No copy pasting, no switching apps. Now let me

00:06:12.860 show you how it works. So let's say you want to do some research on a competitor. I'm going to open

00:06:17.620 up my competitor's website and I'm going to click the extension icon and it's going to show that

00:06:22.040 panel. I'm going to prompt it with my voice because I use this tool called Whisperflow because I like

00:06:25.860 to talk to my AI. Pull the pricing, the features and positioning from this page. Now Claude reads

00:06:30.780 the page, extracts everything and organizes it for you. What's cool is you can even tell it to do it

00:06:36.200 on two or more competitors,

00:06:37.280 and then ask Claude to compile all three of those

00:06:40.080 into a comparison sheet.

00:06:41.880 You can even record the whole thing

00:06:43.180 so that Claude knows how to do it step-by-step

00:06:45.360 in the future and it learns

00:06:46.300 and it repeats itself on its own.

00:06:48.000 Can I just mention that that doesn't cost you anything?

00:06:50.680 If you have an account,

00:06:51.760 there are other tools you could use to do this.

00:06:53.860 They're gonna charge you some money.

00:06:55.440 This is free.

00:06:56.520 Your team can use this.

00:06:58.200 Imagine the productivity.

00:06:59.700 If everybody used these kinds of tools,

00:07:01.380 they'd be, what, double more productive,

00:07:03.120 triple, five, 10X?

00:07:04.580 It's crazy.

00:07:05.160 So Chrome handles the browser, but what about everything on your computer, your files, the

00:07:09.980 apps, the workflows that happen off the web? That's cowork. Cloud Chat is where you chat and

00:07:16.320 it thinks with you, but it's only going to reply if you prompt. Cloud Cowork acts for you. It's an

00:07:21.720 agent that works on your actual computer, not on the browser, on your desktop. So that means it can

00:07:26.820 open apps. It can organize files. It can pull information from multiple sources. It can open

00:07:31.660 up a browser like i just showed you and get information but pull all that to then run that

00:07:36.980 analysis locally and they've even added a feature recently that lets you set it up on a schedule so

00:07:42.140 it can run automatically think about all the work you do all throughout your day that you could just

00:07:47.060 be like set it and forget it have you ever seen that infomercial the guy that makes the chicken

00:07:50.860 with the air fryer and he's like just set it and forget it set it and forget it set it and forget

00:07:56.760 when i saw claude co-work i was like oh it's like the chicken park guy set it and forget it boom

00:08:02.740 you're gonna feel guilty that you can take your whole afternoon off to go wake surf

00:08:06.680 because you don't have to do the work anymore let me tell you how crazy this can be one of the

00:08:11.980 things i do as a keynote speaker is create slides for my presentations i have hundreds of slides

00:08:18.820 i've done in the past all i did was gave co-work access to that folder it analyzed my slides and

00:08:25.240 I asked it to create new slides for a new talk and all I gave it was the outline and it found the

00:08:30.140 images and it put the words and it restructured because it had access to all my files. How much

00:08:34.900 time do you spend trying to recreate systems, processes for your clients, for your team when

00:08:40.620 you have enough history for it to learn off of and it can actually create a first draft that's

00:08:45.000 pretty freaking done all by itself. So here's a real example that you can do right now. Let's say

00:08:50.300 every Monday you've got to send a weekly update to your team, which most people have to do. You

00:08:54.780 You can tell Cowork, I'm just going to use that little button here to listen to my voice,

00:08:58.140 pull the latest updates from my project docs and I let go.

00:09:01.420 It knows how to read through your files.

00:09:03.040 It can figure out what is a project doc.

00:09:04.880 And then you can tell it, summarize the key updates and send a recap on Slack.

00:09:09.760 And then Cowork writes the summary and just sends it.

00:09:12.900 If you set it up in a schedule, that's a 10 minute task that you never have to do ever

00:09:17.100 again.

00:09:18.100 You keep stacking those 10 minute tasks, all of a sudden you get two, three hours back

00:09:21.820 a day. 0.63

00:09:22.820 Cowork.

00:09:23.820 big idea. With AI, you don't need to do the work. You need to direct it. Be the director, not the

00:09:30.720 doer. All right. So this next one is for my technical friends, the people that like to be

00:09:35.520 at the edge. For all the nerds out there, this one is insane. Point number five, Claude Code.

00:09:41.680 Have you ever written a line of code? Cool part is it doesn't matter. You don't need to. Claude

00:09:47.100 Code builds custom tools, websites, automations built exactly for your business. All you got to

00:09:53.760 do to program it is describe with words what you want in plain English and Claude. Build it. You

00:10:01.980 know how I said it was for the nerds? I lied. Anybody can do it. I've taught my 12-year-old

00:10:06.720 son all the way to my 60-year-old CEO. He's not 60. He loves when I say that. His name is Todd.

00:10:11.400 Instead of paying tens of thousands of dollars to a programmer to build these things that kind

00:10:16.440 of fit and then you got to iterate and go back and forth, it just builds exactly what you need.

00:10:20.640 And if it doesn't, you just go, please change this.

00:10:24.320 Please add this.

00:10:25.660 My favorite is, it's not working, can you fix it?

00:10:28.960 And you'll watch it debug itself.

00:10:30.800 The crazy part is the people who built CloudCode

00:10:33.040 use CloudCode to build itself.

00:10:34.980 All my engineers that work for me at Martell Ventures,

00:10:37.680 they've all chosen CloudCode.

00:10:39.820 It is the best, it's the cleanest,

00:10:41.280 it's got the best output, the best planning.

00:10:43.020 You get to use the same power as my nerdy team

00:10:44.920 to build whatever you want.

00:10:45.980 And what makes this awesome

00:10:47.100 is because they all live in the same ecosystem.

00:10:48.980 You got chat in the Chrome browser extension

00:10:51.340 and co-work and code, it all lives in that same place.

00:10:54.340 So what I do is I go to chat for my ideation,

00:10:57.380 then I research stuff using Chrome and collect it,

00:11:00.220 then I execute any automation and co-work,

00:11:02.480 and then I build custom tools in code.

00:11:04.620 These are the foundations for you to have full autonomy

00:11:07.000 to have it work for you so that you're not doing this.

00:11:10.680 I believe in this so much that recently

00:11:13.120 I shut down my company for two days

00:11:15.280 to teach everybody how to use cloud code.

00:11:18.400 Literally a hundred people stopped working

00:11:20.820 so I could teach them how to use this.

00:11:23.220 I brought in people that could help them

00:11:24.600 with the configuration.

00:11:25.660 You built little teams.

00:11:26.800 They chose problems in the business they wanted to solve.

00:11:29.120 I watched every one of those teams build tools

00:11:31.960 that almost automated their whole workload.

00:11:34.600 The demos were crazy.

00:11:36.000 The inspiration was high.

00:11:37.540 And the best part is everybody left feeling confident

00:11:40.000 that they were prepared for the future.

00:11:42.160 And look, shutting down the company

00:11:43.700 was a massive investment in time and productivity

00:11:47.380 and just real costs, salary, labor, et cetera,

00:11:49.920 and hiring people to come in and teach them.

00:11:51.760 But I believe the output was massive,

00:11:55.500 like a three X improvement.

00:11:57.020 Plus we solved the biggest problems in the business

00:11:59.320 in those two days.

00:12:00.080 So we get that benefit

00:12:01.060 and we get the benefit of compounding growth over time.

00:12:03.900 So here's an example that you can do right now.

00:12:06.320 Let's say you need a landing page.

00:12:07.940 So I just open up Cloud Code,

00:12:09.500 which is another tab in the app.

00:12:11.160 So I've got chat, co-work and code.

00:12:13.760 So I'm just gonna hold down my whisper flow

00:12:15.400 and I'll say something like,

00:12:17.000 build me a landing page for my coaching business.

00:12:19.280 The offer is 12 weeks

00:12:21.760 and essentially it's for business owners

00:12:23.500 who want to buy back their time.

00:12:25.100 Let's say the price is $5,000, include a headline,

00:12:28.660 three benefits, testimonial section and a signup button.

00:12:31.600 Stop, watch it cook.

00:12:33.780 Claude builds a full page.

00:12:35.780 And look, if I don't like the way it looks,

00:12:37.380 I just say, redesign it, make it look like Apple.

00:12:40.180 Enter, now watch. 0.97

00:12:42.040 It looks fucking awesome 0.92

00:12:43.580 and you didn't have to do anything. 0.89

00:12:45.620 You didn't have to mess with CSS and JavaScript

00:12:47.900 and try to figure out how to host it

00:12:49.580 or do any of that crazy stuff.

00:12:50.860 And if you were to pay somebody to do this,

00:12:52.740 it would cost you hours from five to $15,000.

00:12:55.800 And the cool part is that if you're like,

00:12:57.240 what happens after the button that hits submit?

00:12:58.880 You can just tell it, write the feature

00:13:00.260 that allows the email to get captured

00:13:01.740 and put into my email marketing tool.

00:13:03.460 What email marketing tool?

00:13:04.920 You tell me, which one do you use?

00:13:06.600 Do you wanna use MailChimp?

00:13:07.440 It's free, cool.

00:13:08.740 Load it into MailChimp.

00:13:09.840 Learning to let go from the need of doing it

00:13:13.020 and trusting the tool to go create for you

00:13:15.520 is the opportunity for everybody.

00:13:17.980 And if you still feel confused while it's doing it,

00:13:20.580 you can just tell it.

00:13:22.180 Assume I am non-technical and I'm confused,

00:13:25.540 please tell me how you just did that.

00:13:27.620 And it will.

00:13:28.680 So now you've seen the full picture.

00:13:30.240 You've got chat, you've got the Chrome tool,

00:13:32.580 you've got coworking code, all there.

00:13:34.840 But I know there's something still holding you back.

00:13:36.580 So we've got to fix that right now.

00:13:38.760 Point number six, make the switch.

00:13:41.020 You're probably thinking to yourself,

00:13:42.600 I have spent months in ChadGPT.

00:13:45.620 It knows my voice, it has my stuff,

00:13:48.560 it knows my business,

00:13:49.620 and I just don't wanna start over.

00:13:51.520 Is it really that good, man?

00:13:53.000 It takes two minutes to make that switch

00:13:54.720 without losing any of that.

00:13:56.440 So you just go into your settings,

00:13:58.160 click capabilities, import memory from an AI provider,

00:14:01.360 and hit start import.

00:14:02.620 So then Claude gives you a pre-written prompt

00:14:04.680 that you just gotta copy.

00:14:06.140 Then you go into ChadGPT or any other tool you're using

00:14:09.320 and you paste that prompt.

00:14:10.980 So that'll tell the AI how to pull out everything it knows.

00:14:13.940 So then it'll spit out everything about you,

00:14:16.540 your preferences, your context, how you work.

00:14:19.020 So then you copy that output

00:14:20.220 and then you go back into Claude

00:14:21.620 and then you paste it into the text box

00:14:24.280 and then you click add to memory.

00:14:26.380 Done, easy peasy.

00:14:28.100 Everything your old AI learned about you,

00:14:30.180 it's all in there.

00:14:31.140 And now you've got the power of Claude

00:14:33.660 and all these tools at your disposal.

00:14:36.140 So now you can start to use Claude

00:14:37.680 without having to start from scratch.

00:14:38.900 And if you wanna see the power of Claude even further,

00:14:42.200 here's my pro tip.

00:14:43.560 Just go to Connectors, add your Gmail and Google Docs

00:14:46.220 and ask it to create a tone writing guide

00:14:48.280 and save it as a skill.

00:14:49.720 It's this simple, just write.

00:14:51.920 Build a, write like Dan, insert your name,

00:14:54.940 skill from my last 50 cent emails

00:14:56.940 and 10 recent Google Docs.

00:14:58.780 Watch it do that.

00:15:00.060 You're like, how does it know how to write like me?

00:15:02.020 It learned from your existing tools

00:15:03.840 and then created its own skill.

00:15:05.540 That's a Claude thing for another day, but just try it.

00:15:08.000 Have some fun with it. It'll change your life. So I get it. This could feel crazy overwhelming.

00:15:15.040 There's a lot of different tools and a lot of different names. And it's like, what's the

00:15:18.560 difference between co-work and code? And how do I think about chat? Here's my challenge to you.

00:15:24.500 Use Claude as your main AI for one week, not as a backup, not as a test, your primary tool.

00:15:31.220 Give it your hardest problems, your hardest questions. Go play there. Then come back and

00:15:35.780 Tell me what changed below in the comments.

00:15:38.200 I also want you to leave a comment below

00:15:39.760 and let me know the first thing you would build

00:15:41.560 with coworker code that you couldn't before.

00:15:44.000 If you could have a full-time engineering team

00:15:46.420 building software for you,

00:15:47.580 what would you want them to build?

00:15:48.680 Leave me a comment below.

00:15:50.560 And remember, if you wanna become an AI-powered user

00:15:53.220 and get twice the work done in half the time,

00:15:55.820 DM me the word YouTubeAI on Instagram

00:15:58.400 and I'll send you my AI cheat sheet for free.

00:16:01.360 Now, if you wanna learn how to use any AI

00:16:03.700 and get better outputs,
