AI Builders,
Brand loyalty in the AI space is nonexistent. The moment a tool gets lazy, users jump ship. We're watching it happen in real time.
In today’s edition:
🧠 The Big Idea: ChatGPT uninstalls jump 295% as users seek alternatives.
🎨 The Action Plan: Build an AI assistant with a real phone number 📞.
📉 Trend / News: Anthropic's Claude 3.5 adoption metrics.
🧠 ChatGPT Uninstalls Jump 295%
A massive wave of users has hit the "delete" button on the ChatGPT mobile app. Why? Frustration over rate limits, lazy outputs, and the rise of highly capable, uncensored competitors.
The Competitor Surge: Claude's Sonnet and Perplexity's mobile apps are absorbing the churn.
The "Laziness" Factor: Users are tired of "mega-prompts" failing mid-generation. (See our previous micro-workflow newsletter!)
The Interface Squeeze: Walled gardens are losing to open-source models running locally on devices.
The bottom line? The AI war is no longer about who has the smartest model; it's about who has the most reliable user experience.
🔮 Takeaway: Never build your entire business reliant on a single AI platform's API.
🎯 Build an AI Assistant with a Number 📞
Want to sound like a Fortune 500 company while operating solo? Let's build a voice AI assistant that actually answers your phone calls and schedules meetings.
The Setup: Sign up for an account on Bland AI or Vapi.
The Prompting: Give your voice agent a strict system prompt constraint: "You are Sarah, the receptionist for [Your Company]. Your only goal is to answer FAQs and collect the caller's email to book a Calendly link."
The Connection: Buy a Twilio phone number and route the webhook directly to your voice agent dashboard.
