We will not pretend CLAWVR is for everyone. Stick with Perplexity if any of these fit:
For everyone else — the 90%+ of small business owners who just want AI to handle the boring repeatable parts of their work — CLAWVR pays for itself in the first week.
Yes — they do completely different jobs. Use Perplexity to research a competitor, look up an industry stat, or fact-check a claim. Use CLAWVR to draft customer emails, generate SOPs, write follow-up sequences, and produce weekly reports in your tone and your business context.
Not really. Perplexity is optimized for AI-powered search with citations. ChatGPT and Claude are optimized for open-ended writing, document analysis, and multi-step instruction following. CLAWVR is tuned for Claude and ChatGPT because those models perform better on business workflow tasks.
CLAWVR generates a master Claude system prompt plus 18 industry-specific superprompts. These run inside your own Claude or ChatGPT account — they are not a search engine. The job is to teach AI what your business is so it produces useful output on the first try, not to retrieve information from the web.
$297 one-time. 3-minute intake. 18 custom Claude prompts in your inbox within minutes.
