A near-million-view beginner's guide to Claude: when to pick it over ChatGPT
rubenhassid · x · 2026-10-13
Ruben Hassid shares takeaways from his near-million-view (982k) "Claude For Dummies" guide:
- Getting started: sign up free at claude.ai, don't pay yet; upgrade to Pro ($20/mo) in week 3 only if you use it 3+ times a week.
- Prompting: paste your own writing and ask Claude to sharpen it and explain changes; be specific on audience, tone, and length ("4 sentences max" beats "write me an email"); provide a sample and say "write like this."
- Split: Claude for writing, long docs, and files; ChatGPT for voice, images, and search — use both.
He notes ChatGPT has 1B monthly users vs Claude's 56M, but calls Claude the best AI available.
