Yes, these AI tools remain imperfect. But when you experiment with them, you'll see they're advancing lightning-fast."
"Inside Jim's test run: I used Claude Opus 4.5, Anthropic's flagship AI, accessed through a $20/month Claude Pro subscription. How it works: This version can actually build things - not just chat. It writes code, creates working apps, and delivers downloadable files, all from my phone. You talk to it conversationally, directing what you want and how it should work. What's crazier: I've hardly touched my souped-up, $100-per-month desktop"
Jim built four fully functioning, well-designed apps on his phone in eight hours, and created a 30-question quiz plus short training courses to screen for AI-capable people. Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.5, accessed via a Claude Pro subscription, can build apps, write code, and deliver downloadable files from a phone through conversational prompts. Competitors including Google, OpenAI and xAI are racing to match and exceed these capabilities. The overall capability baseline is rising rapidly, producing leapfrogging advancements; tools remain imperfect but advance lightning-fast, making 2026 likely for widespread AI application and workforce transformation.
