Two of the world’s most powerful AI tools just launched recently, and yes, small businesses can use them too. If you’re a business owner looking to save time, cut costs, or grow without needing a big team, this is the kind of news that matters.
These tools don’t just sound smart, they are smart. And they might help you do things like improve your marketing, respond to customers faster, or even build your website.
Let’s get into what they are and how they can actually help you.
Bagel is a new AI tool that can understand images, videos, text, and even website data, all in one place. That means it doesn’t just “look” at a photo, it understands what’s in it, and what it means. It can talk about the picture, edit it, or even create a new one based on your request.
If you run a business and need things like ads, product photos, explainer videos, or even social media posts, Bagel can help. Instead of paying for a team of editors, you could use this tool to:
Generate professional-looking images in seconds
Edit videos or photos with just a short instruction
Create visual content that matches your brand
As a bonus, it works offline, and you can run it on your computer. That means no ongoing fees or subscriptions.
One demo showed someone uploading a photo of a famous statue. Bagel immediately explained its history, what era it was from, and where it was located, all without being told what the image was. Then, it created a brand-new image in the same style with perfect detail.
Because Bagel can “think” across different types of content, it saves you time and money. You won’t need one tool for video, one for pictures, and another for writing. Bagel handles all of it.
Claude 4 is the latest model from a company called Anthropic. It’s designed to help with writing, coding, planning, and even answering questions, without requiring constant human input. Think of it as a super assistant that works all day and night.
Claude 4 can work on one task for up to 7 hours straight without needing to be re-prompted. That means it can:
Help you build a website
Draft customer emails
Review and update your business documents
Help with spreadsheets or data entry
Write blog posts or marketing content
It also connects to tools like Google Search, reads PDFs, and updates its plan automatically. You won’t need to sit there and guide it through every step.
If you’re a one-person show or have a small team, Claude 4 can take care of the boring and repetitive work so you can focus on what really matters: serving customers and growing your revenue.
One company used Claude 4 to fix bugs in their software, update their documentation, and rewrite sections of code without a single human step in the middle. For a business owner, that means you could get your website fixed, automate workflows, or build tools without hiring a tech team.
Claude 4 is now available in platforms like Google Vertex AI, Amazon Bedrock, and even popular coding tools like VS Code. And yes, there’s a free version you can start using today.
What used to take a full-time employee (or a team) can now be done by one of these tools.
Imagine this:
You need marketing content? Bagel can create it.
You want to update your website or write a client email? Claude 4 can handle it.
You’re tired of juggling tasks? Let AI manage the boring stuff so you can focus on making money.
These tools are no longer just for tech giants, and you don’t need to be a tech expert to get started. These tools are designed to be easy to use, and many of them are free or low cost. Try them out. Test them on small tasks. See what works.
Because the businesses that use AI smartly? They win.
