Description
🆓 Discover your AI Stage: https://macpreneur.com/aistage
In this episode, I introduce the AI Capability Matrix, a two-axis framework that cuts through AI confusion and shows you exactly which AI tool is right for your business stage.
You'll discover:
- why Large Language Models are simulators, not thinkers
- the maturity journey you should follow (and why skipping steps gets you into trouble),
- and why the Claude desktop app is the only all-in-one solution Mac users need (even on older Intel machines).
