Tried brainstorming my company business plan with gpt4 turbo and with Claude 3 opus. Gpt4 turbo had clear understanding difficulties and kept saying things maybe relevant to similar companies but obviously unrelated to my own. Claude 3 opus was much more focused on product/features/roadmap I described. I asked Claude 3 to ask me question to help develop the plan and it asked me good questions. However for the actual plan it was derivative and didn’t actually propose anything useful. When I asked it to rethink certain aspects, Claude 3 started to also get confused and instead of talking about things specifically mentioned in the beginning of the convo it focused on something more generic. Overall I don’t think either are good at being a full brainstorming partner, but Claude 3 opus does have a clear edge.

For business strategy I haven't found any LLM that doesn't get myopic in an instant. You really have to channel the gods of your inquiry by prompt engineering and hope the mental model touched upon is a great fit for the LLM world. You might get some mileage asking them to compare Hamilton Helmer vs Micheal Porter or generate a positioning statement given a backstory or follow a certain scaffold when suggesting a business name. They can forget that background thinker's perspective in the very next prompt though. Those datasets must be very contradictory I suppose, words on economics are probably bringing the whole LLM world down. Only a handful of conversations have been truly rewarding in business strategy rubber ducking I've done but I haven't been able to replicate those again. I like to keep a conundrum in my head and get the LLM to dance around it until it's solved, say for a particular instance of free trail vs freemium debate. It excels at that kind of long-term learning assistance.
