Ask Jorge.
Good morning, entrepreneurs.
This week we have a big one. Anthropic, the company behind Claude, just filed confidentially for a near-trillion-dollar IPO, and the numbers behind it are worth understanding if you use AI in your business at all. In Build with AI, I'll show you how to turn a client discovery call transcript into a full proposal draft using a single prompt. And in the Quick Win, there's a one-time settings tweak that stops you from re-explaining your business to AI every time you open a new chat.
Jorge’s Rundown:
Anthropic filed for a near-$1 trillion IPO, becoming the first major AI lab to formally enter the public listing race.

This Week in AI:
Anthropic filed for an IPO: and it's already beating OpenAI to the punch
On June 1, Anthropic confidentially submitted a draft S-1 registration with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, making the company behind Claude the first major AI lab to formally start the public listing process. No share price has been set, no date confirmed, and the full paperwork stays private until the SEC finishes its review. But the signal is clear.
The details:
Anthropic's revenue surged from roughly $10 billion annually last year to nearly $47 billion by May 2026, one of the fastest growth trajectories ever recorded by a private technology company.
The company expects to report $10.9 billion in revenue for the second quarter of 2026 alone, more than doubling Q1 and exceeding its entire 2025 annual revenue in a single quarter.
Anthropic's projected operating profit in Q2 sits at around $559 million: a roughly 5 percent margin, thin for a company seeking a near-trillion-dollar public valuation, with compute costs the main culprit.
Anthropic was founded in 2021 by executives who left OpenAI over concerns about the company's direction, and is best known for its Claude models, which power products including the coding assistant Claude Code.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Anthropic projects breaking even by 2028, two years ahead of OpenAI's 2030 profitability target.
Anthropic aims for a valuation between $1.75 and $1.8 trillion and a raise of up to $75 billion, which would potentially make it the largest IPO in history.
Why it matters: If you've been using Claude for your business, you're now technically a customer of a company heading toward a public listing that could eclipse anything Wall Street has seen from a tech company. More practically, this signals that the AI tools you're paying for aren't going anywhere. Anthropic now has the capital, the enterprise base, and the growth rate to keep building. The tools get better from here. The pricing question is the only thing to watch.
Also this week:
Microsoft unveiled Agent Mode as the new default across Word, Excel, and PowerPoint at its Build 2026 conference, meaning the AI in your Office apps now runs tasks autonomously rather than waiting for you to prompt it.
Microsoft also open-sourced Windows Agent Framework 1.0 under an MIT license, letting developers build their own AI agents that operate directly on Windows — a significant move for anyone building custom automation tools.
OpenAI launched a native meeting recording feature inside the ChatGPT macOS desktop app that records, transcribes, and summarises audio from meetings, brainstorms, and voice memos without needing a separate tool.
Jorge’s Summary:
I've been watching Anthropic closely for a while now, and the IPO filing didn't surprise me: the revenue numbers did. Going from $10 billion to $47 billion in a year is almost hard to believe, but the enterprise adoption story makes sense of it. What I want you to take from this isn't the Wall Street angle. It's the stability angle. The tools you're using to run your business are being built by a company that's not going anywhere. That matters more than the valuation.
Build with AI:
Turn your client discovery calls into a first-draft proposal in under 30 minutes.
Most solo business owners spend hours writing proposals from scratch after every discovery call, retyping context they already covered live. This skips all of that.
Record your discovery call using any video conferencing tool with a built-in transcript: Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams all have this. Download or copy the raw transcript when the call ends.
Open ChatGPT or Claude. Paste in the transcript with this prompt: Prompt: "You are a proposal writer for a [TYPE OF BUSINESS] business. Here is the transcript of a discovery call with a potential client. Extract the client's main problem, their goals, their timeline, and any budget signals. Then write a professional proposal with these sections: Summary of the Situation, What We'll Do, Timeline, and Investment. Use a warm but professional tone."
Review the output. Fix any detail that didn't come through clearly in the call. Add your pricing.
Paste into your proposal template or tool: Canva Docs, Google Docs, or Notion all work: and send.
One call. One prompt. A complete first draft in minutes instead of hours.
Jorge’s Summary:
Proposals are one of those tasks that every business owner dreads and every client expects fast. I've heard from so many of you that the gap between finishing a discovery call and sending something over is where deals go cold. This workflow doesn't replace your judgment: you still need to review it, adjust the pricing, make it sound like you. But it kills the blank page problem. Try it on your next call and see how close it gets on the first go.
Jorge’s Quick Win:
How to stop re-explaining your business to AI every single time
Every time you open a new chat, you start from scratch. No context, no tone, no idea who your clients are. There's a one-time fix for that.
Try this:
Open ChatGPT and go to Settings, then Personalisation, then Custom Instructions. In Claude, go to your profile and look for User Preferences.
Write 3-4 sentences covering: what your business does, who your clients are, how you like to communicate, and any words or phrases you always want avoided.
Save it. Every conversation now starts with that context already loaded, without you typing it again.
Every output from here gets sharper because the AI already knows who it's talking to.
Jorge’s Summary:
This is probably the most underused setting in any AI tool. Most people open a new chat, type out a question, and wonder why the answer feels generic. It's generic because the AI knows nothing about you. Two minutes to set this up once and every conversation you have from here is starting from a better place. It's the kind of thing that makes a quiet but real difference every single day.
