I attended a meeting with a prospect yesterday and then when the Google Meet transcript arrived I threw it immediately at Gemini.

I do not particularly claim to be a great Salesman nor have any credentials to back up anything that I say, but I would classify myself as a successful founder running an agency.

The Google Gemini identified that the prospect wanted to implement some AI strategies in their business and that I should have focussed on pitching the client just that instead of pitching an integrated marketing approach.

I threw the same transcript at Claude and while Claude was more detailed in some recommendations that Gemini missed - it arrived at the same conclusion.

Here is what Claude said:

said outright that he wants to explore how AI can improve efficiency and surface new opportunities, and that he sees AI as the future of the business. He also mentioned they’d just moved to a CRM that’s API-linkable to third-party systems, specifically to future-proof their tech. That’s two signals pointing at the same large, high-margin engagement — AI-powered automation and CRM integration — and you engaged with “AI” only through the narrow lens of …

While the critique was correct both Claude and Gemini failed to make a distinction earlier in the call the client said that they had a very limited budget and were only budgeting for a proof of concept type engagement.

What both Claude and Gemini propose - and possibly generate the wrong feedback signal for a manager if I had one, who would rely on this transcript analysis - is that I pitched the wrong product/service/angle.

The AI in my humble opinion did not read between the lines.
