Here are the important dates in my AI journey.
- 12/24/2022 – OpenAI ChatGPT Start Date: I started using ChatGPT on December 24, 2022, only about three weeks after it publicly launched on November 30, 2022. I used it to help build my entrepreneurial ventures and assist in my law and real estate practices. I also used it for personal advice.
- 5/18/2024 – OpenAI ChatGPT Plus Paid Subscription Start Date: My first paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus was made on May 18, 2024 for $20 a month. Its AI chat had become much better and more reliable.
- 1/16/2026 – My AI App Build Start Date: On January 16, 2026, I begin drafting the plan and architecture to build my decision integrity AI app. ChatGPT was the only AI I used for my enterprises.
- 1/28/2026 – Bubble App Start Date: I started a free trial for the Bubble Starter plan on January 28, 2026 to begin building my decision integrity AI app. I chatted with ChatGPT, then I manually inputted text and code into my decision integrity AI app within the Bubble app.
- 2/11/2026 – Bubble App Paid Subscription Start Date: My paid Bubble subscription automatically began when the trial ended on February 11, 2026. I chatted with ChatGPT, then I manually inputted text and code into my decision integrity AI app within the Bubble app.
- 3/20/2026 – Anthropic Claude Start Date: I first created an account with Anthropic/Claude on March 20, 2026 after I learned about the mass movement of coders, new vibe coders, entrepreneurs, and enterprise users using it through a YouTube video by Silicon Valley Girl podcast hosted by Marina Mogilko. I chatted with Claude instead of ChatGPT, then I manually inputted text and code into my decision integrity AI app within the Bubble app.
- 4/20/2026 – Claude Pro Paid Subscription Start Date: I officially started my Claude Pro subscription on April 20, 2026, for $20.94 a month to get access to more features and compute power to help me build my decision integrity AI app.
- 7/17/2026 – Claude Cowork inputs for me in Apps: Instead of chatting with Claude, then manually inputting text and code into my decision integrity AI app within the Bubble app, Claude Cowork does it for me through its extension in Google Chrome. This was a game changer moment for me.
- 7/20/2026 – Claude Max Paid Subscription Start Date: I started with the $100 a month payment plan, but quickly switched to the $200 a month plan, then paid for additional tokens costing me another $900 because of how quickly Fable 5 and Opus 5 burned my compute tokens. As of today, August 15, 2026, the cost of Fable 5 and Opus 5 has become more reasonably priced. I’m so grateful for this improvement.
The following are the reasons why Claude is my everyday enterprise AI:
- Claude Cowork is organized. Claude Cowork has lists shown in its right side panel that become stricken in real time after you complete them. It incorporates the practices I already do in my gamified life. I create color coded blocks of times in my Google Calendar app that I write items that I need to do within each block. I have lists of habits, dailies, to do’s, and rewards in my Habitica app. Moreover, in real time in the same right panel, Claude shows the work it is doing in the apps it has access to such as Bubble. Its context and connectors are easily shown along the same side panel. Claude has a page for each project I’m working on that displays my project description, instructions for what Claude must do for the project, its memory and context on the project, folders with files I gave it it access to, recent outputs it fid on my project, and recurring scheduled tasks I instructed Claude to do. OpenAI had to catchup and copy Anthropic with its Codec and ChatGPT Work, but it does not display, operate, and feel the same as Claude Cowork.
- Claude Cowork’s Google Chrome extension allows it to input text and code in online apps for me. Before I would chat with the AI, the manually input them myself. OpenAI followed suit with this feature in its products.
- Claude’s compute power and reliability stands at the top with ChatGPT.
- Claude’s founders support AI safety and ethics.
Claude won me over as my everyday enterprise AI because I can quantify my wins with its progress checklist to further gamify my enterprise journey and life my incorporating in my count my wins game that I play in Google Calendar and Habitica apps. Claude accentuates my play experience.
My experience with Claude is like flow, it reduces or removes even small friction with each amazing feature.
Being a top compute power solidifies my great experience with it.
