Je suis passé de ChatGPT à Claude (et tu devrais aussi)

This video discusses a shift from using ChatGPT to Claude, noting that 80% of the speaker's AI usage has transitioned to Anthropic's Claude over the past six months, a trend observed across 60+ clients. While ChatGPT is still used, Claude has emerged as a superior tool for daily tasks. For a year and a half, ChatGPT was the undisputed leader, with its addictive interface and accumulated user data making it difficult for users to switch. However, Anthropic has consistently deployed new, genuinely useful features, while OpenAI has fallen behind in practical, everyday functionalities. This gap is evidenced by Anthropic surpassing OpenAI in annual revenue, with 30 billion dollars compared to OpenAI's 24 billion. Anthropic is now valued at nearly 1 trillion dollars, and 8 out of 10 of the largest Fortune 10 companies use Claude, indicating it's no longer a challenger but a dominant force. This suggests that the perception of ChatGPT as the leader and Claude as an alternative is outdated among ambitious individuals and businesses. The first major reason for switching to Claude is its superior writing quality. Comparing the same prompt, Claude's output reads much more human-like, while ChatGPT often still sounds like an AI trying to imitate human writing. This difference is even more pronounced in French, where ChatGPT can produce awkward phrasing and a slightly off rhythm, whereas Claude writes as if thinking directly in French, making its output very pleasant to read. The speaker's agency now uses Claude for client emails, mission reports, strategic notes, and commercial proposals—all documents read by decision-makers where any AI-sounding phrase can undermine credibility. This has led to positive feedback, with clients appreciating the perceived effort in drafting, despite the agency using AI for the initial writing and human supervision. The speaker also uses Claude for all personal content, including video scripts, LinkedIn posts, and emails. While ChatGPT still excels in pure business strategy, like analyzing business plans or structuring roadmaps, Claude surpasses it when producing text intended for human readers. This is particularly true for personalized writing styles. By providing Claude with just three examples of your writing (e.g., an email, a LinkedIn post, a Slack message), it can learn and replicate your unique voice, including your tics, formulations, and syntax quirks, with far greater precision than ChatGPT's custom style features. The second reason for Claude's superiority lies in its "artifacts" feature, which ChatGPT still lacks. Artifacts allow a visual window (e.g., an application, dashboard, or website) to open alongside the chat, updating in real-time as you interact with the AI, without needing to touch any code. For example, asking Claude to create a branded slide for a presentation generates the slide instantly in the side window, complete with generated code. This feature saves significant time on tasks that would typically require hours in tools like Canva, such as creating video slides, interactive calculators, or landing pages. A newer development, "live artifacts," connects to your data and refreshes automatically, transforming artifacts into dynamic dashboards. The third reason is code generation. While GPT Codex is still strong for heavy-duty development, Claude Code is considered unbeatable for the daily needs of creators, solopreneurs, or product teams, leading in coding benchmarks. It offers a lightweight version directly in the chat via artifacts and enables coding from a phone while a computer runs independently, a capability ChatGPT lacks. The fourth, and most life-changing, reason is "Cowork." Unlike ChatGPT, which functions like a consultant you chat with, Cowork is an autonomous agent that can operate on your computer. You give it instructions, and it executes tasks, often involving multiple tools, while you do other things. Cowork integrates with over 200 connectors, including Gmail, Notion, Drive, Slack, and recently, consumer apps like Spotify, Uber, and Booking. For instance, the speaker uses Cowork to sort emails every morning, generating a prioritized to-do list while they exercise or work on other tasks. It also automates YouTube video preparations, generating descriptions, chapters, tags, and pinned comments, and organizing files. For agencies, Cowork automates repetitive tasks across multiple tools, such as meeting preparation, CRM updates, and report generation, saving hours per week. The fifth and most important reason is "projects." Projects allow users to create permanent context folders for Claude. Every conversation within a project benefits from this stored context, eliminating the need to re-explain who you are or what you do. This ensures Claude always has the relevant background information, improving the quality of its responses. While ChatGPT offers similar features with "projects" or "custom GPTs," Claude's implementation is more intuitive and maintains context better over time. A significant advancement within projects is "skills," which allow users to create custom commands. For example, typing "/ideation" could generate five video angles based on a specific strategy, or "/pt" could draft a prompt in a personalized style. Thousands of public skills are available on Anthropic's marketplace, and users can create their own in minutes. In terms of cost, both Claude and ChatGPT cost $20 per month for individual subscriptions, with similar pricing for pro plans. This means there's no financial barrier to trying Claude. However, Claude does have stricter usage limits, especially for its Opus model, which can lead to temporary lockout messages during heavy use. The workaround is to use the default Son model for 90% of tasks and reserve Opus for heavy-duty tasks like complex video scripts or 20-page strategic analyses. ChatGPT still holds advantages in two areas. Firstly, image generation: ChatGPT's Image 2.0 is highly rated and available for free, while Claude offers no image generation capabilities. Secondly, in certain scenarios, ChatGPT's "computer use" feature, which integrates "operator," is better at tasks like filling out long online forms or navigating complex websites compared to Cowork. The ideal setup, if affordable, is to use both: Claude for writing, coding, projects, and Cowork, and ChatGPT for image generation and specific computer use cases. Third-party tools like Perplexity AI also exist, combining strengths from both platforms. However, if forced to choose only one in 2026, the speaker unhesitatingly recommends Claude. For those convinced to switch, migrating data from ChatGPT to Claude is now simple. Anthropic launched a direct import function that takes about two minutes. Users can copy a prompt from Claude's settings, paste it into ChatGPT (or Gemini, etc.), and then paste ChatGPT's
