Most people use AI like a search engine: type a question, get an answer. It’s an easy, well-understood use case for tools like Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT.
But for solopreneurs, the real value is in setting up dedicated projects with a lot of background information about your business. Most AI tools let you create project workspaces where you can add context about who you are and what you do. You can attach relevant files, and keep the conversation focused on one specific idea or area of your business.
I have 23 AI projects in Claude for everything from strategic planning to building a website. Some are used a few times per month, while others I rely on almost daily.
Here are a few of my favorites.
Solopreneurs are constantly evaluating apps and tools. But Google search results show you the companies that paid for ads or have the best SEO—not necessarily the best fit for your business.
For example, I needed to replace the platform I use to host webinars. Instead of sifting through comparison articles, I used AI chat to research alternatives based on my specific requirements: budget, features, and how the new tool would integrate with other tools I use. The back-and-forth narrowed my options faster than I could have done on my own, and I chose a platform I might not have found through a standard search.
2. A weekly check-in
Solopreneurs don’t have a manager or team keeping them accountable. Projects can quietly slip for weeks before you realize something fell off your radar.
