I came across this breakdown of the 6 stages of using Claude and it gave me a different perspective on what’s possible.
It’s easy to think you’re “using AI” but there’s a huge difference between asking a few questions and building systems that think, create and execute alongside you.
The six stages are:
1️⃣ Amateur – Basic prompts
2️⃣ Regular – Everyday use
3️⃣ Integrator – AI becomes part of your workflow
4️⃣ Operator – AI helps run parts of your business
5️⃣ Builder – Creating custom systems and solutions
6️⃣ Orchestrator – Multiple AI workflows working together (Agents)
I’m not at Stage 6 yet 😅 but seeing the progression helped me identify where I should be focusing next.

And if you’re a 5 or 6, what’s the biggest mindset shift, workflow or use case that helped you level up?
