What AI do you use

[NotAllThere]

What AIs do you most often use?

[Protagoras]

Some of us use no AI at all !

atsign ai architect + Claude

Milan.

A mix of them but mainly Claude. My experience is largely that it's great at boiler plate stuff and if you can give it really specific specifications.

Given most of the customers I've worked with over the years I think we're all safe.

To be quite fair, some of us don't use I.

I sometimes use A. but they're certainly NOT I.

I had a go at Claude. I asked it for a local market engagement framework. I just wanted some ideas sketched out that I could build on. It responded with some useful questions to clarify what I was looking for. I also indicated I wanted the output as a word document. It said it had created the file but never actually provided it. I thought, ok, I just have it as a powerpoint file instead. That's when I ran out of my free allocation of tokens.

All rather unsuccessful as it said it did a load of stuff but I never actually got to see what it had produced.

I presume there's a hefty amount of user error in there.

ChatGPT has been my go to.
Wasn't particularly impressed by Claude. You can do very much until you have to pay.
BUT
CoPilot has been amazing with Microsoft specific stuff.
Google's AI has been pretty ropey especially when you ask it about me! - Apparently I went to Eton and Oxford, did a stint at McKinsey and am a Member of the house of Lords. About the only thing it got right was membership of the tory party which I was until Brexit!

Been on Claude Code Max 20X plan at £150/month for the last few months. I do plan to scale back to the 5X plan at £75/month in the near future, or even take a break altogether and see what alternatives there are. Reason for the maxed out subscription is that I am working on a new optimizing compiler infrastructure and it has been very very useful - like 3x to 5x productivity easily. Years of work have been done in the last 6 months, it is completely revolutionary in my opinion.

I have also been trying out something called Interpretable Context Methodology - which is a way of organizing the description of an AI agent just in folders on your PC - no fancy framework or coding needed. Cool thing about it is that the github repo has some example workspaces, one of which is an agent for creating new agents.

In about 1/2 hour yesterday I was able to build an agent that: reads my RSS job feeds, dedupes, matches ones that are outside IR35 and match my skillset, rip all my CVs into a data set with all my experience in it, then for each job description write a custom CV and covering letter in PDF and Word format, PDF from custom LaTeX template, assess this against what a recruiters AI ATS system is likely to think of it, iteratively tweak until the CV is scoring 95%+, email me a list of all new jobs with customized applications ready to submit. All I have to do now is kick it off, or better set up a cron job to kick it off once per day, maybe around 5am, so I can get up and have all my applications lined up for a 9am when I start badgering folk on the phone.

Good enough I think I will invest some more hours in tweaking it until I am really happy with the result, but honsetly the applications it has prepared for me so far all read pretty well. None of it is BS either, just bringing out the right skills into focus for the right job, I am only applying for things I genuinely have the background to be able to handle.
