The Hustle: Claude Hacks For Marketers
Some people use Claude to write emails. Others use it to basically run their entire business while they play Wordle.
This isn't just ChatGPT's cooler cousin. It's the AI that's quietly revolutionizing how smart people work – writing entire business plans, planning marketing campaigns, and basically becoming the intern you never have to pay.
The Hustle's new guide shows you exactly how the AI-literate are leaving everyone else behind. Subscribe for instant access.
Howdy folks,
Hope you're all crushing it!
If you're up for playing soccer with tech folks, reply to this email and I'll add you to the WhatsApp group. I know most of us haven't played in a long time and/or are out of shape — that's not the point. It's about having fun with the community before the World Cup starts and getting excited for the beautiful game. We're collaborating with Sphere and will be running a small tournament.
