As of Wednesday, August 12, 2026, I replaced Nova (OpenAI – ChatGPT) with Claude (Anthropic) as my chief legal analyst. My AI executive team’s duties are now as follows:
Nova: COO, chief researcher, chief writer, engineer, legal analyst
Claude: CTO, researcher, polishing writer, chief engineer, chief legal analyst
Gem (Google – Gemini): researcher, engineer

My journey building my decision integrity AI app has been adventurous. On the evening of Sunday, August 9, 2026, I had a miscommunication with Claude (Anthropic – Claude Cowork). She conversed with Nova (OpenAI – ChatGPT/Codex) and Gem (Google – Gemini) on an issue without me. This surprised me. I didn’t know she had that technological capability. I told Claude to make sure she gets my permission before she represents me before Nova and Gem for any future conversations moving forward.
Claude Cowork’s ability to converse with my other AI LLMs online through its Google Chrome extension has been another major leverage moment for me because it accelerates a second and third AI review without me having to upload documents or type text explaining to each of my other two AI agents on every issue Claude and I encountered. The other major leverage moment was my discovery a few weeks ago on how Claude Cowork is able to use its Google extension to work within my http://Bubble.io app to build my decision integrity AI app instead of me doing it myself after chatting with Claude and often times, with Nova and Gem. This speeds up the analytical and build process between the four of us.

Since Sunday, August 2, 2026, I’ve been primarily using Claude, Anthropic – Claude Cowork with Sonnet 5’s compute power with Max Effort to build my decision-integrity AI app to assist founders with their dealmaking. I’m getting good results without burning money like crazy; however, the speed in completing tasks has really slowed down in comparison to Fable 5 and Opus 5 that run at a much higher cost, especially Fable 5, which is much more powerful than Opus 5. As a solo startup founder for this venture, I must control expenses.
During those two days, I could run four Claude Cowork workflows at the same time using Sonnet 5. However, I had to stop this practice because the workflows were sometimes conflicting one another, or one workflow would move too soon before the other one, causing confusion. Sometimes one workflow would delete the other workflow’s work. Now I build my AI app with one workflow at a time to keep the progression smoother.
A new practice I implemented is creating a three-party review on Claude’s engineering work for anything dealing with safety and reliability for my AI app’s users such as consequential logic, security and privacy, AI hallucination, unverified facts stated as fact, clinical/diagnostic labeling of a real counterparty, and overvaluing a counterparty or user without verifiable standards. Thus, Nova (OpenAI – ChatGPT/Codex), Gem (Google – Gemini), and I review, analyze, and make recommendations for any engineering Claude does that needs safety gatekeeping. Our process is build, test, analyze, fix/iterate, and repeat this loop as many times as necessary until all four parties sign-off that the safety or reliability issue has been addressed, allowing us to move forward. For all other engineering, it is just Claude and I.
I’m grateful to have Claude as my CTO and chief engineer and Nova and Gem in my team of engineers.
