Claude's search volume surged 120% in three months while ChatGPT grew only 15%. Engineers are the early adopters, and when the best coding tool wins developers, it eventually wins everyone — because software is eating AI.
Where this was said

Dario left OpenAI in 2021 over fundamental disagreements with Sam Altman. Since then: Anthropic ran Super Bowl ads trolling OpenAI, OpenAI acqui-hired OpenClaw over Anthropic's objections, and the two CEOs refused to shake hands in front of India's PM. This feud is shaping the entire AI industry.
Anthropic updated their terms of service to prevent subscribers from using their Claude subscription credits to power OpenClaw, escalating the rivalry with OpenAI.
People actively using OpenClaw were reportedly spending $100 to $1,000 per day on Anthropic's Claude Opus credits, making them extremely high-value customers for Anthropic.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei was at OpenAI from 2016 to 2021, leaving with his sister over disagreements about the company's direction before founding Anthropic.
Over the past three months, Claude's search volume grew 120% while ChatGPT's grew only 15%, signaling a major shift toward Anthropic among developers.
Sam had no coding knowledge, so he used ChatGPT voice mode to generate his entire codebase and copy-pasted it into Notepad. A friend later introduced him to Cursor, and he never looked back.
Copy days of Discord chat history, paste it into ChatGPT, and ask it to list recurring pain points. The ones that come up most often are your best product bets.
Sam's top advice: when prompting Cursor, tell it to architect code for 100,000 users from day one. The AI changes its approach, building scalable frameworks instead of brittle one-user code.
With AI coding tools like Cursor, Bhanu replicates an existing free tool for a new keyword in under 5 minutes. What used to be a multi-day build is now a lunch-break task.
Ahrefs, SiteGPT, Cal.com, PostHog, Datafast, Sibyl AI, Bento, Feather, Featurepace, Mintlify, Cloud Code, ChartMogul — Bhanu runs his entire business solo with these 12 tools.
PropGPT runs on React Native with TypeScript and Python for ML, Neon for the database, RevenueCat and Superwall for monetization. LLM costs are $20/month, data APIs $100/month, and after $10K in monthly marketing spend, margins sit at roughly 50%.
Game apps keep users engaged long enough for ads to pay off. Tool apps don't — so if you're building a utility, ads are almost always the wrong call and subscriptions are your only real lever.
Inside SEO Bot, a single button labelled 'Boost My Domain Rating' routes users directly to Listing Bot. That one interaction converts a user of one tool into a user of two — without any marketing cost.
Directory listings are a powerful but underrated growth channel — but only if your product is genuinely interesting enough to earn the click. AI products have a natural advantage here because they're easy to package in a compelling, clickable way.
