How I Actually Use ChatGPT and Claude in My Trade Business

Welcome back to Blue Collar AI — the show about using AI, systems, and simple automations to make real trade and blue-collar businesses run smoother.In Episode 1, we looked at voice-to-text and how talking instead of typing has changed the way I deal with emails, quotes and job notes.Today I want to zoom out a bit and talk about the AI tools themselves — the actual assistants I use day-to-day.If you’ve ever thought, “There are too many AI tools now — which ones do I actually need as a tradie or small business owner?”, this episode is for you.I’m not going to give you some giant feature comparison or pretend I’m an AI expert. I’m just going to walk through what I personally use each tool for inside my electrical business, what’s actually been useful, and where I think people can easily waste time.
