OpenAI ends Microsoft exclusivity
OpenAI can now use Amazon and other cloud providers after reworking their partnership deal. Microsoft keeps revenue share through 2030 but loses exclusive rights to OpenAI's technology. The change removes the AGI clause that limited OpenAI's enterprise deals.

Claude downloads surge as ChatGPT growth slows
ChatGPT's monthly user growth dropped from 168% in January to 78% in April. Claude saw 11x download growth during the same period while ChatGPT managed only 14% growth. ChatGPT uninstalls increased 132% year-over-year in April.

For your business
Claude's 11x download growth suggests trying it for contract analysis if ChatGPT feels stale. Switching costs are zero.

Most companies deploy AI like they're still shipping physical products. GM pushed Gemini to 4 million cars faster than most logistics companies automate a single process. The difference isn't technology. It's treating software updates like what they are: instant deployment, not year-long projects.

A 200-person logistics company in the Midwest was burning 15 hours weekly categorizing supplier invoices. Their AP team manually sorted invoices by vendor, service type, and cost center before entering data into their ERP system.
We built an AI system that reads incoming invoices, extracts vendor information and line items, categorizes expenses automatically, and flags anomalies like duplicate payments or unusual amounts. The system processes invoices as they arrive and queues approved ones for ERP entry.
Processing time dropped from 15 hours to 2 hours weekly. That's 13 hours of freed capacity worth $32,000 annually at their AP team's hourly rate. The system caught $8,400 in duplicate invoices in the first quarter that manual review missed.

We build systems like this for logistics, manufacturing, and service businesses.
If that sounds like you, here's how we work.
