• Training That Actually Transfers FinishedWhy most Copilot and Claude training does not survive contact with a real workday, and what training that transfers actually looks like.Read it →
• What Real Adoption Looks Like at 90 Days FinishedThe difference between a team that used AI once and a team that changed how it works, checked at 30, 60, and 90 days.Read it →

This vs that

For when you already know roughly what something is, but need to pick between two options. Seven boards, each one side by side.

• Agent or assistant BoardWhich one you are actually buying, and why the answer changes the price.Open it →
• Claude or Copilot BoardBoth are agents on a large language model. Where each one is genuinely better.Open it →
• Claude Team or Enterprise BoardThe plan question, answered on what you actually get rather than seat count.Open it →

All seven boards are on one page, and there is a printed edition. See the downloads

What this room is

Everything People in the Loop has written about working with AI agents, in one room. All of it is free, none of it wants your email, and we wrote it while doing real client work.

Each lit shelf holds one kind of thing. Hover a shelf to see what's on it, click it to go in.
