It's You, Not Your AI.

Hamish Nicklin · CEO & Co-Founder ·

I was getting frustrated with Claude Code yesterday. Nothing was working. Then I saw its internal reasoning: "The user seems frustrated. I have attempted this fix three times without success..."

I felt guilty. Like I'd been shouting at Dobby.

My business partner and I have coined a term: "Bad AI Days." Those days when nothing seems to work, when the AI feels broken, when you're ready to throw your laptop out the window.

Here's the uncomfortable truth: the AI isn't having a bad day. You are. Garbage prompts lead to beautifully articulated and believable garbage out.

Users who lack proper prompting skills consistently experience poor AI results. It's not the tool - it's how you're using it.

That's why we've built a diagnostic tool to help people distinguish between problematic AI performance and problematic prompting habits. We're looking for beta testers.

And for what it's worth, Claude Code with Opus 4.5 outperforms everything else I've tried. The problem was me.
