TL;DR
Dominic Carubba, an ADHD solopreneur, ditched ChatGPT for Claude because it gives crisp, direct answers without overwhelming tangents.

The real lesson: match your AI tools to how your brain actually works, not how the gurus say you should work.

𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀
Match your AI to your brain, not the hype: Dominic switched from ChatGPT to Claude specifically because Claude’s concise, direct responses work better for his ADHD brain — a reminder that the “best” AI tool is the one that fits your cognitive style.
Setapp is a hidden gem for Mac solopreneurs: At $10–$15 per month, Setapp gives access to 250+ quality Mac apps including CleanMyMac, Whisper Transcribe, and Notchy — potentially replacing multiple individual subscriptions at a fraction of the cost.
Specialist AI tools can outperform general ones for specific tasks: Dominic uses dedicated marketing AIs built around Alex Hormozi and Frank Kern’s methodologies for landing pages and email campaigns, because domain-specific training produces better results than a generic prompt.
Agentic AI is the next frontier worth exploring now: Claude Cowork and MCP servers allow Claude to take real actions — reading your calendar, summarising your inbox, planning your day — moving AI from a chatbot to an actual autonomous assistant.
