I Tried Claude Code Over the Weekend (And It's Pretty Impressive)
So I tried Claude Code over the weekend, and it is pretty impressive.
It can do some amazing stuff. You can also live onto your computer or read through your files.
And I want to say it, like, with confidence that this is a very exciting thing to look after.
Now, here's where I think this is going to be extremely powerful.
Like right now, if you utilize it correctly, you can genuinely save time and do more per day with the usage of these systems.
Because the standard AI like ChatGPT and then regular Claude, Gemini, these are very question and answer based.
So you ask it a question, they give you an answer. You ask it a question, they give you an answer.
And there's no self thinking going on.
With the introduction of Claude Code, sometimes even Manus is very good at this, this other AI called OpenClaude where people are buying Mac minis for these.
The reason why all of these are so powerful is because they have their own brain.
They can think and solve issues by itself instead of just asking you again and again.
So you just give a task and they simply just figure it out.
You can connect it to multiple different softwares and it can just do stuff on your behalf.
Now this is going to be important for your specific industry.
For example, I don't necessarily use it to do my Google marketing all of a sudden, because I don't necessarily know a lot about Google marketing, so I'm going to keep letting the expert do that.
For example, we're very good at content and Facebook ads, so we were like, okay, let's try to create a content bot, maybe somebody who can post content and do quality checks.
It's very good at a specific stage, but it's not good at replacing the entire system because it's still going to give you some very generic graphics, very generic type of content.
So there's still hours and hours of information and data that's required for it to even make decent usable content, which you might still need to edit in the first place anyways.
Another thing you could do is you can generally develop some good softwares and tools for internal use.
For example, you can have a sales tool for your sales team where you can train them on your specific transcript.
If you have a lot of calls recorded, you can build something with Manus or Claude Code, upload all of your files, like hundreds and hundreds worth of calls, and then literally build an AI interface like tool where your sales team can just ask questions and get information from customers on the spot.
So there's a lot of things and a lot of tools you can build for internal use as well, like dashboards, custom tools for your specific company.
So it's getting very exciting and it's getting very good.
Here's what most people don't understand.
Standard AI like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini are question and answer based. You ask, they answer. You ask, they answer.
There's no self thinking.
But with Claude Code, Manus, OpenClaude, they have their own brain. They can think and solve issues by themselves.
You give a task, they figure it out. You connect them to multiple softwares, they do stuff on your behalf.
That's powerful.
But here's the reality.
It's not going to replace experts. It's not going to replace your entire system.
For example, we tried to create a content bot. It's very good at a specific stage, but it still gives you generic graphics, generic content.
You still need hours and hours of data for it to make decent usable content. And you'll still need to edit it.
So it's not a replacement. It's a tool.
But here's where it's extremely powerful.
Internal tools.
For example, you can build a sales tool for your sales team. Upload hundreds of calls, train it on your specific transcripts.
Then your sales team can ask questions and get information from customers on the spot.
You can build dashboards, custom tools for your specific company.
That's where the real power is.
Not replacing experts. Not replacing systems.
Building internal tools that save time and help your team do more per day.
So if you're thinking about using AI agents like Claude Code, Manus, OpenClaude, here's what you need to know.
They're powerful. They can think and solve issues by themselves. They can connect to multiple softwares and do stuff on your behalf.
But they're not going to replace your entire system. They're not going to replace experts.
They're going to help you build internal tools that save time and help your team do more.
And that's where the real value is.
