Forget ChatGPT: Here Are 8 AI Tools You Might Not Know About — and They’re Free!

Once you discover these AI tools, you’ll likely wish you had found them sooner.

Today, I want to highlight some remarkable use cases of Claude — a formidable rival to ChatGPT known for its impressive functionality. The latest version of Claude is gaining significant attention online, thanks to its extraordinary capabilities.

So, let’s dive into several innovative ways you can utilize Claude.

1. Create Your Ideal SaaS Product with Claude

The first application is truly astonishing.

With Claude, anyone can develop their ideal SaaS product without needing programming skills.

It’s now feasible to build a product based solely on your concept by simply instructing Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

For instance, Adam Pietrasiak tweeted about using Claude to design an app that can eliminate backgrounds from webcam feeds.

He accomplished this in about an hour, despite having minimal experience with Swift (a programming language).

In a similar fashion, you can construct apps and websites by merely articulating your ideas.

2. Claude Simplifies Web Page Creation Like Excalidraw

Are you familiar with Excalidraw?

This is a collaborative virtual whiteboard tool that allows users to sketch diagrams with a hand-drawn appearance.

Here’s something I created within seconds, thanks to Excalidraw.

Now, with the latest iteration of Claude, you can even develop applications similar to Excalidraw.

A Twitter user named Requestly recently asked Claude to generate a web page resembling Excalidraw, and Claude successfully produced a basic yet functional version.

3. Learn AI with AI

Let’s face it — while AI tools can significantly improve our workplace productivity, grasping the technology behind AI can be quite challenging.

You often have to learn multiple programming languages and frameworks, and even then, it can be difficult to comprehend.

Fortunately, AI tools like Claude can assist you in mastering these skills as well.

For example, Claude can help you understand complex AI, machine learning, and deep learning concepts visually, making them easier to grasp.

4. Effortlessly Build Custom Dashboards

I must confess, I earned a significant portion of my income by developing CRMs, dashboards, and similar applications for various businesses.

Previously, customizing these projects was often quite intricate and time-consuming.

However, with Claude, creating such dashboards has become remarkably straightforward, enabling anyone to do so.

You can generate these applications within minutes by simply inputting your data.

For instance, I recently designed a stock analysis application using Claude and the Marketstack API.

In that article, I explain how to utilize AI for stock analysis and dashboard creation.

Another example is Min Choi, who produced an interactive business intelligence infographic report simply by uploading Tesla’s Q1 2024 PDF.

5. Extract Data from Websites with Ease

You may have heard of web scraping, which involves extracting data from websites.

Traditionally, this is accomplished using Python libraries like BeautifulSoup and Scrapy.

But what if you’re not proficient in Python but still want to gather data from a particular website?

You can certainly use ChatGPT for this, and Claude AI is also an option.

I discovered this from “The SamurAI” on Twitter.

The creator shared a simple prompt: “Build a Python scraper that finds the latest AI news for me.”

Claude then provided the complete, functional code for you to run and retrieve the latest AI news.

The best part? You can customize it by adding the URL of the site you wish to scrape.

I tried it myself, and Claude provided clear instructions along with the code.

6. Claude Can Develop Complex Applications

Some of you might wonder if Claude can create code for more intricate applications, including both front-end and back-end components.

The answer is yes, it can.

For instance, Riley Brown demonstrated how he built an entire website from scratch, including front-end and back-end code, using prompts to Claude.

It wasn’t a simple task, though.

He instructed Claude to write the code for a specific page, pasted it into a code editor, and executed it.

If he encountered an issue, he would request Claude to resolve it; otherwise, he moved on to generate additional pages.

7. Improve Your Google Ranking with Claude

Let’s be honest, many individuals aren’t well-versed in SEO or how to rank their content on Google.

However, with Claude, you can easily get started without having to master SEO from the ground up.

Julian Goldie provided a fantastic example of this.

He detailed a step-by-step process for conducting keyword research, identifying simple keywords, optimizing titles, and even crafting a post that surpasses competitors.

8. Claude 3.5 Sonnet as Your Writing Collaborator

I began my career as a programmer, and when I transitioned to writing online, I lacked expertise.

I simply read articles from top writers and kept practicing. Consequently, it took me three years to achieve six-figure earnings online.

Now, thanks to AI chatbots like Claude, it’s much simpler for anyone to embark on a writing journey.

With Claude AI, you can: - Generate engaging, natural content filled with ideas and developed plots - Create posts for LinkedIn and Twitter - Suggest titles, subtitles, outlines, and entire articles - Identify errors and typos, producing flawless content - And much more

9. Transform Data into Stunning Charts and Presentations

Here’s another impressive example demonstrating the capabilities of Claude.

The team began by uploading two images related to the human genome: - One displaying the timeline of genome sequencing milestones - The other outlining the costs associated with human genome research.

They then instructed Claude to convert this data into JSON, and unsurprisingly, Claude performed flawlessly.

But they didn’t stop there.

Next, they asked Claude to merge the data, create a Plotly.js chart, and generate a PowerPoint presentation.

The outcome? A stunning chart and a polished presentation that could easily pass for professional work.

I hope you found this insightful.
