Last week I got a new lead. I made their demo in less than 5 minutes (thanks to Trillet), had the sales call and closed the deal in less than 48 hours! Auto Repair Shop Closed at $159/mo - Handles FAQs - Sends booking link - Handles call transfers - 150 complementary call minutes each month - Website chatbot Very basic setup, no integration with their calendar, no integration with their CRM. Just my starter plan essentially. I have a new video up on my YouTube: https://youtu.be/wPOQG5h8_3s?si=NM62C473uJJIOTcx

This is an overlooked goldmine where local businesses actively show up looking for help, and almost no AI experts are there. Ming Xu, CIO of Trillet, explains how he positions himself as the only AI service in the room and turns simple conversations into paying clients. If you’re trying to land clients without competing online, this changes the game.

Cowork basically turns Claude into a hands on helper that can work directly inside a folder on your Mac, not just chat with you. Here are the bits that stood out to me: • real file access so Claude can read, edit, create things locally • tasks with actual agency planning steps and completing them without constant prompting • great for non coders since it takes the Claude Code vibe and makes it friendly for everyday work • can organize files, draft docs, clean up screenshots, build spreadsheets and more • supports connectors so you can hook in external data sources • supports new skills for creating documents and presentations • works with Claude in Chrome for browser based tasks • parallel tasking so you can queue up work instead of babysitting chat threads • strong control settings to choose exactly what Claude can see or touch • early preview so features and safety guardrails will keep evolving Would you trust an AI to work directly inside your files if it saved you hours each week?

I find it fascinating that a company as big as Apple, still has not been able to figure out AI! Apple just confirmed it's teaming up with Google to power the next generation of Siri using custom Gemini models, and it sounds like the partnership goes way beyond just voice commands. The short version is that Apple chose Google's AI as the core tech behind future Apple Intelligence features. A few things jumped out at me: • custom Gemini models powering not just Siri but more Apple Intelligence features across the whole ecosystem • potential for major upgrades on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro, even Apple Watch • Apple still keeping user data private inside its own systems • Google simply providing model and cloud tech while Apple controls the experience • both companies going public with the deal which raises the stakes for performance • signals a trend where even the biggest companies rely on each other for AI acceleration • could push more cross platform pressure and innovation in consumer facing AI I’m curious what you guys think. Does this partnership make you more excited about Apple Intelligence or more skeptical that Apple needs Google at all?
