Should your team be using Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI tool for business?

In this video, Dave explains the recent conversation around Claude vs ChatGPT, why businesses should experiment with different AI tools, and how to choose what works best for the team. AI is moving quickly, so flexibility matters — but so does keeping the right security controls in place and protecting access to your systems.

AI tools can be incredibly useful, but businesses need to be careful what systems and information they give them access to.

Many AI platforms may train on the data you enter unless you change the settings or pay for business controls. That means confidential business information could end up somewhere you did not intend.

This video explains why businesses need proper AI controls, secure access policies, and a clear understanding of how AI tools handle business data.

With AI moving this fast, the market is full of people showing impressive demos that are nowhere near production-ready. Dave explains the warning signs: solutions that look finished but are only 25% there, and the crucial difference between doing something in a lab and building a scalable, reliable business product.

Before your business starts using AI properly, there are three simple things you need in place.

First, appoint someone to own AI in the organisation. Second, give them a clear AI policy and tracking process so risks and opportunities are understood across the business. Third, set a purchasing policy so AI tools are not being introduced in an uncontrolled way.

Without this structure you risk shadow AI, data issues and poor control over how tools like ChatGPT are being used.

Most businesses are paying for IT, but nobody is really in control.

Good IT is not about long reports or complicated audits. It is about understanding what actually matters, what is risky, what is wasting money, and what needs fixing first.

When you cut through the noise, IT decisions become simpler, more predictable and a lot less stressful.

Before you sign a contract with an AI consulting firm, ask the right questions — specifically about their track record delivering business value all the way to completion, not just 90% of the way there. Dave covers why "concept to completion" experience matters, why you should ask about the projects that failed, and how to avoid buying "golf course decisions" dressed up as AI strategy.

Most SMEs do not have IT problems. They have IT decision problems.

When nobody owns technology decisions, vendors push their own agendas, money gets wasted, and businesses often take risks they do not fully understand.

Good IT is not just about buying tools. It is about making better decisions so technology actually works for the business.

AI is really useful for comparing documents like bids and proposals.

It can highlight what’s missing, improve clarity, and fix spelling and grammar issues — helping you produce stronger submissions and improve your chances of winning contracts.

But it should not write everything for you. AI works best as a support tool, not a replacement for your judgement.

If you are budgeting for IT systems, rising hardware costs mean you may need to spend more or make equipment last longer.

Upgrading memory, using virtualised systems and planning purchases more carefully can help extend the life of your computers.

But as AI becomes more useful on local devices, my recommendation is simple: buy computers with at least 16GB of RAM.

Finding a qualified AI consultant is harder than it sounds — no formal qualification exists, and the market is full of people who are great at demos but terrible at delivery. Dave Lane explains what to look for: proven business project delivery (including failures), genuine business acumen, and enough development experience to get things finished. The warning sign? Someone who solves 95% of the problem and disappears. That last 5% is a killer. Visit goodchoiceit.co.uk
