Episode 687 opens with sponsors Paka Apparel and Shopify, then dives into a practical compare-and-contrast of LLMs. Dave sticks with ChatGPT for history and workflow but says Claude is hands-down best for assisted coding due to reliability, longer context, and faster iteration. Perplexity earns points for research (and a 12-month Pro via PayPal promo); its Comet browser is mentioned. Shannon uses Grok on X to verify posts and add context. They read listener reviews, remind folks about the MacBook giveaway, and plug businessbrain.show/review.

The pair share real-world AI wins: Shannon fixes a Polaris Ranger parking brake and re-cables a Comcast router by uploading photos and asking specific questions; Dave troubleshoots a Docker container update mid-session by feeding screenshots and URLs to ChatGPT. They caution listeners to specify versions and verify steps because UI and docs change. The show closes by inviting AI questions to feedback@businessbrain.show and nudging listeners to join the mailing list for links, including the Perplexity Pro offer, while reinforcing the “live your charmed life” theme.
