Deploy & Capstone
Live URL. Capstone review. The AI landscape.
By the end of tonight
- Your calculator at a live URL — anyone can use it
- Capstone review — everything across 8 weeks
- Personal AI Playbook — which tool for which job
- The big AI landscape — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok
What "deploy" means
Upload quote.html to a server. The server has a URL. Anyone with the URL can use the calculator — phone, computer, anywhere.
We're using Cloudflare Pages.
Free. Fast. Reliable. There are alternatives — Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages — but we're picking one tonight, not shopping.
Hands-on
Deploy to Cloudflare Pages.
- cloudflare.com → sign up (free)
- Workers & Pages → Create application → Pages → Upload assets
- Name your project (becomes part of your URL)
- Drag
quote.html in → Deploy
- Click the URL Cloudflare gives you
Your URL. Live.
Take out your phone. Turn off WiFi — use cell data. Type the URL. The calculator loads. From the internet.
Updating it later is easy.
Edit quote.html locally with Claude Code. Re-upload via Cloudflare dashboard. URL stays the same, new version is live in 30 seconds.
When you're ready: connect Cloudflare to GitHub. Then every change auto-deploys. (We won't do that tonight — Pages drag-and-drop is fine for years.)

A marketing agency would
have charged $20k+.
You did it for the cost of a Claude subscription and 16 hours.
But the artifacts aren't the point. The skill is.
Now: the bigger AI landscape.
Claude is one of several. You don't need to know them all — but you should know what's out there.
The four big players
Claude
Anthropic
Your daily driver. Writing, analysis, code, sensitive work.
ChatGPT
OpenAI
Image generation (DALL-E). Wide plugin ecosystem. Codex for coding.
Gemini
Google
Inside Gmail/Docs/Sheets. If you live in Google, integration is tight.
Grok
xAI
Inside X. Real-time info, internet search, casual vibe.
When to use which
Default: Claude
Writing, analysis, code, files, sensitive work. This is your daily driver.
For images
ChatGPT (DALL-E) or Gemini. Both work well.
Real-time info
Grok, ChatGPT web search, or just plain Google.
Inside Google Workspace
Gemini, if you don't want to tab-switch.
Never trust AI for
- Legal advice — use a lawyer
- Medical advice — use a real doctor
- Exact dollar amounts on big contracts — verify with a calculator
- Dates / statistics in customer-facing docs — verify
- Anyone's name or quote — verify
Hands-on
Fill out your AI Playbook.
Primary tool. Backup. For images. Never trust for. Morning routine. One goal for the next 30 days.
Habits to keep going
- Open Claude every morning. Even 5 minutes.
- Update your Project when things change.
- Iterate within chats. New chat per task.
- Don't subscribe to 4 AI services. Pick a primary.
- Teach someone else. Best way to know you've got it.
One last question.
Between Monday and next Sunday — what is one thing you are going to do with AI that you wouldn't have done before this course?
You're not a
beginner anymore.
You came in not believing in this stuff. You leave with a live URL, a marketing plan, and the ability to teach someone else.
Now go use it.
