My productivity is very much up (as is my law firm's across the board). It's hitting our bottom line nicely. I'm not looking forward to Claude being priced for actual value in the future.

Can you share how you use AI?

---

Other people have done that and you didn't respond to them. If you are having trouble, use Claude to look up use cases.

---

Some people just gave vague replies. I am looking for details.

I am looking for how real people use it. "check out Claude" or "Google it" does not count.

Things I have used Claude for in the past two weeks. I'm in O&G.

1. Write an SOP for shipping and receiving OBM at my mud plant.
2. Build shipping and receiving excel sheets for internal use and customer facing.
3. Write an ad for a CDL driver.
4. Build an OBM mixing schedule for the guys in my liquid mud plant using the products available and desired properties.
5. Build my Alaska Caribou hunt guide complete with all my flight information, outfitter details, rules and regs, etc. (Ok, that last one wasn't quite for work. )

Things that used to take me days take hours.

AI requires context. It may be "smart", but it doesn't know what it hasn't been taught. The Saratoga has been to let AU take a crack at problems and to tweak or correct the results, but they real gains will come when we shift the paradigm to teach it what it got wrong. Just like a new employee. They may bring years of experience, but they don't know precisely how you do things yet. This process will be different for every company.

Does anyone else see Microsoft being the big winner here? I don't know about you all, but for my wife and I, both of our companies (mine is a financial/investment company and my wife's is a medical device company, just for point of reference) have completely shut off any other AI tool outside of Microsoft's Co-Pilot. I have a personal Claude account that we use across the family (my teens and wife and I) and I absolutely love using it for many different tasks, but I can't use it with my work computer at all. Given the fact that Microsoft has such a stranglehold on business machines (the only company I worked for that didn't use Microsoft was when I worked as an HRIS consultant a few years ago for a small, boutique consultancy that used Google), it seems like they have a head start on everyone else. Thoughts?

---

Microsoft is doing well to bundle co-pilot into everything, it makes it easier for companies to choose MS, and it's frankly the only thing co-pilot has going for it. It is woefully poor compared to claude, it really isn't even close, and it's becoming very obvious, very quickly.

MS will be a big loser in this. They are failing massively to deliver a competitive technical solution. The existing integration may win in the short term, but they are already viewed as second or third tier in this space, and they have the same level of data privacy trust as google (which is as bad as you can possibly get).

The real winner in all this is Nvidia. They are now the most valuable company on the planet, and it is entirely because of AI. Their value has grown nearly 20x in the last 4 years.

For the corporate community, sure.

I would say that 90% of start-ups and small companies use Google Workspace because it is cheaper. For our company, the combination of Claude / Apps Scripts with Google has been the bomb. I pay the Claude bill, and I can tell you, our developers are using the crap out of it. Claude will come out with Claude for Sheets very soon if Google will allow it. If not, they will have to really lean into making Gemini more effective with Workspace or Gemini is going to die.

So, I think that Microsoft is going to do a good job using AI to help lock in their corporate clients, but so is Google, and developers are especially not locked into the Softie environment.

The article is interesting, and mentions that productivity actually decreased at the beginning of the age of computers, as measured by economic variables.

But, I think that the hidden thing here is that leveraging AI requires investment into changing processes, which takes both time in working hours and time in calendar days.

From my own experience, my job has gotten much more efficient due to my AI tools and triggers. What have I done with that extra time? Invested in yet more AI tools and triggers.

Eventually, I am going to run out of low hanging fruit, and start taking on additional responsibilities with the free time I have. Until that happens, any increase in efficiency isn't going to be able to be measured in our profit margins.

On another note, Claude for Excel dropped on Saturday. It became much more efficient for me to invest in AI. A lot less work to build new tools that would have taken me longer to do on Friday.

---

Interesting. Excel is arguably one of the powerfully underutilized applications that exists and it's been ubiquitous for decades. Will be interesting to see how people elevate Excel to do things they didn't think were possible.

I'm going to check this out just for my own tinkering

---

Excel is grossly underutilized at work, used mostly to track comment submissions.

During one of the woke doxxing phases I used Excel to scrape and archive all my TexAgs posts, do batch edits and even restore my original posts.

---

Man, build a tool that can do that instantly and offer it as a service. I could see someone that could need to erase his / her TexAgs presence paying a bit of money for you to do that overnight if an embarrassing Dox came out.

staff will delete it all with an email request.

And what do you mean it dropped on Saturday? Is this something in addition or different than the add in?

The first agent I build finds all invoices from an email address, log them into excel, save them to the drive with a specific file name conventions, export them to Quickbooks.

I have like 15 agents working right now. I think I'm saving about one day a week so far in effort. I use that extra day a week to build more things, some of them agents, some of them other infrastructure.

Hrmmm. Looking it up, I guess it was available for pro plans back in January.

I first heard about it on Saturday morning in an advertisement when I logged into Claude.

Our dev team all uses Claude Code, and we were told that the add-in was available to integrate with our agents yesterday morning.

I guess it has been available for longer than I had assumed.

Yeah, it's great until it takes your job.

I can use Claude or ChatGPT within CoPilot at my company. And we aren't a small company either

Yep, we used Google Workspace at our startup because it was cheaper. I hated it and begged our owner to switch to MS but it was his money so I gave up. Google would be smart to integrate Claude or improve Gemini because some of their workspace products are trash - GMail and Slides, specifically. Sheets is serviceable but it can't touch Excel.

It's not going to take my job, I will be doing the work of two of me by the end of the year. But I definitely had budget to hire a bookkeeper that I am not likely to use. Part of that will likely get folded into my bonus, and I am 100% okay with that.

Claude is best used in conjunction with some other development environment.

Tell Claude what you are trying to do, and ask Claude what tools are available to do it. Pick the ones that you have available to you in your practice, ask Claude to write your code, copy it into the environment you have available to you, and there you go.

I started out that agent above using n8n on a local server and getting the development environment right was giving me fits. I asked Claude how to integrate the code into a Google Workspace environment, and one of the options was to just use Google Apps Script instead of n8n. Claude converted my n8n code into code that Apps Scripts could understand, taught me how to implement it when I asked it questions, told me what things to turn on in my environment when the code generated errors, and I was off to the races.

We're not an agentic solution but our software has ML models driving significant revenue increases along with a generative component that's delivering value on the customer experience side (commerce, workplace, service).

The latency of sheets is enough to make me hate it. With keyboard navigating, I am about 20% more efficient in excel just because in sheets I have to wait a second between keystrokes.

Claude for Excel has given me an excuse to go back to mamma, and I am thrilled.

I don't think that Google is going to be able to keep up with Claude. They are an advertising and anti-privacy company, not a software company. Gemini's days are numbered, IMO, unless they do something like buy Anthropic when people realize that the current economic model of these AI companies is not sustainable.

When I shared it in the nerdery TexAgs devs implemented captcha if you make more than x number of edits. It broke the tool but TexAg to their credit offered to wipe user histories if you call them. I can't blame TexAgs, the ability to slip banned content into thousands of old threads could be an issue for them.

It's funny, but both of those strategies are exactly what we are focusing on right now in one of my projects.

I work in pwer generation operations and I have seen the good and bad sides of AI. Good side is some of our processes are automated now, basically taking away an analyst job we had. The bad side is some of the AI in plant balance and modelling has a LONG way to go and thank goodness it is still in sandbox mode and I have hidden the key to the gate of the sandbox for no one to find for quite some time.

I'll start with time-keeping (the bugaboo of all lawyers). In ChatGPT (my first AI), I start a monthly timekeeping project for each month and a new chat for each day thereunder (so, 4/21/26 Timesheet is a chat under it). I can dump in descriptions of what I'm working on or copy and paste email chains, etc. and have it create a detailed time entry for the matter. I'm not behind and exhausted entering my time and my entries are much more detailed and hence, better for optics/client-facing communication when my clients get a bill.

Chat does not draft long-form documents well. It can revise or draft a provision well, but not long-form. You can upload an LOI and it can't draft a lease or MSA, etc. Claude can. It's staggeringly powerful for drafting documents. Incredible efficiency can be gained using Claude to draft.

I've uploaded all our firm policies and procedures for review and redrafting. Claude is creating training videos of same for me.

I use both for marketing purposes (drafting blog articles, LInkedin posts, etc.).

Most interesting to me is we're now being referred clients by AI. I noticed it in the last quarter of last year and it's picked up. We have an intake process from online referrals that asks them to list the referring source. Started getting ChatGPT as a source and I asked one new client about it. He uses Chat for everything and asked it to recommend lawyers skilled in redomiciling a company from California to Texas. I was recommended (in a list of 5 firms). We now get referrals for family law, commercial litigation, and transactional from Chat, Claude, and Perplexity. It's the new SEO.

People still haven't dreamed up the way to take advantage of it for all businesses. There will be resistance for obvious reasons. Hell, you have ton of people that don't work anyway but get a paycheck.

I had to ask AI what the name of that theory was because i'd forgotten over the years:

Pareto Principle

You're thinking of the Pareto Principle, often called the 80/20 rule.
It's the idea that:

• Roughly 80% of outcomes come from 20% of causes
• In a business context, that often shows up as:
  
  • 20% of employees doing 80% of the work (or producing most of the results)
  • 20% of customers generating 80% of revenue
  • 20% of problems causing 80% of issues

Important nuance: it's not always exactly 80/20, but the general pattern is uneven distribution, where a small group contributes a large share of the output.
If you want, I can explain how accurate that idea really is in workplacesbecause it's a bit more complicated than people make it sound.

Awesome, thank you!

Just a thought here. Doing this is nice and easy but we have to keep in mind the downsides which will show up. AI is AI whether you use it or I or Trump or Kamala Harris. Everyone's text is going to sound the same. After a point, people reading it will begin to recognize the AI in your text and sniff it out causing some negative feelings. Even right this moment, I can go to Linkedin and read posts written by people that reek of AI. I don't feel like reading them because it is machine generated and lacks "soul". It is likely the poster himself doesn't know what he was posting, he just made AI write something and posted it to get likes. That puts me off.

So in a business you have to watch for this where your customers may get turned off when they read what is obviously AI. I am in some online groups where all of the admin's posts were tainted by AI. I don't read them anymore. It is not him talking, it is sanitized by AI. I want to know what he thinks, not AI.

Some use cases are free from this and that is where AI will gain prominence. I don't think it will win in interactions with other people in critical situations. No one wants to talk to an AI bot.

I use AI for a lot of things as well but I never send out posts, emails, messages with AI. I forbade my daughter to use AI for her college applications last year. AI use is very obvious.

Lol, i did NOT say "synergies", "outside the box", "strategic alignment", or "let's double click on that".

Okay, a massive competitive differentiator is in our ability to unify all of the content in order to deliver a reliable, secure and trusted multi-turn generative experience.

I can only use limited AI at work due to security restrictions but it definitely saves time summarizing meetings, putting notes in a readable format, and writing emails. Just summarizing a call from a transcription lets me focus more on directing a meeting vs having to take down notes.

I use Claude a ton for personal projects and can see the benefits in industry. One project I'm working on now is related to canbus in cars. My Claude prompt included the wiring diagrams and systems information from the manufacturer, my design requirements, and my end goal. It spit out code to reverse engineer data packets and told me where to hook up the device for a MITM attack. The saved packet capture is fed back into Claude where it reads the output, updates the code, and fixes any comms issues until all devices/actions are mapped.

I've done this in the past by hand which has taken weeks. Claude architected the system, wrote the code, analyzed the data, and nearly has me to a usable project in a few hours.

Claude is the best right now because of its context mapping. I have a bunch of markdown files that I had Claude generate via interviewing me that serve as guardrails. One of them is a "writing rules" that it will always reference when providing outputs. It has samples of my verbiage/tone/structure (placed some emails / work products in a folder when Claude asked for examples) for my "natural phrases". A list of no-no words & phrases (statistically overused words in AI-generated text), zero puff/hype rules, as few words as possible, structure: issue - context - solution, etc.

I haven't solicited feedback, but I doubt anyone realizes a bunch of my emails/work products are AI generated.
