The Window is Open. It Won’t Stay That Way. Note: I set up a Claude Project that combines StoryMaker, SlideMaker, and BlogAssembler (sets of custom instructions) to help me decipher the Anthropic labor research report in terms of a story I am familiar with. This is what it came up with. My question is, "Is it compelling?" What Anthropic's labor research means if you work in marketing — and you're already using Gen AI.

How to Expand Google Form Registrations Into Individual Enrollment Rows If your campus or district collects course registrations via Google Forms, you've probably run into this problem: one person selects multiple courses, and they all land in a single cell, comma-separated. That makes it nearly impossible to count enrollments per course, filter by participant, or track completions accurately. I had this problem today and decided to use Claude AI to help me figure it out.

A Practical Plan for Managing Your Gen AI Platforms: Selecting #Claude, #Gemini, or #BoodleBox This image was generated in Nano Banana 2 via Gemini Pro account. I love how the memory feature dropped a plug for TCEA TechNotes blog, even though this is my personal Gemini account. Since I use these three Gen AI tools daily, I keep wondering, "When is the best time to use them?" To try to get at the best answer, I wrote down all the ways I rely on these different chatbots then asked Claude 4.6 Sonnet/Opus, Gemini Pro 3 Fast/Thinking, and BoodleBox to revise the part that described their features.

Claude: Make a Skill – Infographics and Slide Decks Now that I've re-created some of my favorite Projects from ChatGPT and BoodleBox on Claude AI, I started poking around in the settings a bit more, stumbling on skills. I am only at the beginning of my understanding of what skills in Claude do, but it appears that they add some functionality and are formatted as markdown (MD) files. So, I asked Gemini (because, why not?) to create a skill for Claude on how to create infographics.

Trying Out Claude’s Import Tool If you're thinking about switching, you can use Claude's Import Tool (for lack of a better term to describe the process) to "Bring your preferences and context from other AI providers to Claude. With one copy-paste, Claude updates its memory and picks up right where you left off. Memory is available on all paid plans." This is something I've tried on both OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google Gemini (because, why not?).

“Just because you are outside of your home doesn’t mean you have consented to having a random bozo collect your face and your name, the latter of which can enable them to search for your digital presence or even home address. The act of existing in public should not carry those risks.”

"Come and Take It" with the orange spikey Claude logo

This is from Hegseth's post. I'm no expert in this authority but am I understanding correctly this would mean that any company which has ANY contract with the U.S. military (Google, Microsoft, etc...) is now required to immediately cancel their Claude subscriptions and must divest from Anthropic?

Later in the same post, Hegseth stated: " I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic."

He didn't just order the cutting of ties between the Dept of Defense and Anthropic. He designated them a national security risk for refusing to submit to Hegseth's absolute authority and barred any other contracter from doing business with the company. This is fascism!

Moving Projects On Threads, I chanced upon a conversation that reflects my own work these days. As I explore Claude AI more and more, I realize that I want to recreate my ChatGPT Projects on Claude. Projects, whether its ChatGPT or Claude, is where the magic happens. What I have noticed, though, is that Claude 4.6 Thinking is super incredible compared to ChatGPT 5.2-based Projects.

Exploring 2/2/2 Framework #Claude #SectionAI #AI #NSPA This morning, an email arrived in my inbox from Section AI, which is an amazing team of folks. I've had the opportunity to attend their free webinars and I have learned a lot. One of their emails this morning highlighted something they call the 2/2/2 framework. My curiosity piqued, I decided to investigate and ended up applying it to a current project I was working on in Claude AI.

Claude 4.6 – Amazing! Sample slide from slide deck This morning, I decided to pay approximately $22 for Claude AI. What did I want to be able to do? Create a Claude Project with my past presentations, custom instructions (which I had ChatGPT generate from a Project over there) with this goal in mind: Create a new workshop presentation aligned to a new topic, but that captured elements of my previous work and blended them into a new creation.

Reflections on AI Prompting Process The work of creating a Gen AI tool that does what you ask it to reliably can be easy. It feels like making your way in a dark room, stubbing your toe, checking to see if what you've made really works. You do your best to remember the dozen variations of a path to success, only to realize most don't get you where they need to.

Meet Karet, Healthy Eating Bot Give Karet a spin Give Karet a spin Backstory Chatting with someone today, I realized they weren't familiar with using Gen AI for health purposes. I have enjoyed great success following the suggestions of Broccy, a health bot I created some time back to help me manage my meals and help figure out what was OK to eat. Even when you know you want to eat healthy, doing so with information off of nutrition labels is insufficient to get the job done.

Building AI Knowledge Bases Building knowledge bases that serve as the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for Generative AI has been a fascinating journey. A lot of the Gen AI tools I've used, from Anthropic to OpenAI, BoodleBox, a myriad of web-based models to Google's Gemini and NotebookLM have relied on different approaches. A set of rules has emerged for most of the Gen AI tools, but Google Gems and NotebookLM obviously have changed the ballgame.
