"Claude & Notion killed 3 tools."

Head of Solutions · Choco
May 2026

TL;DR — KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • ChatGPT got dropped for Claude after the team worked out it could help them work more proactively. Claude handles automation and synthesis. Notion handles repositories. Two tools, different jobs, no overlap.
  • Nooks died for two reasons: GDPR killed the calling database outside the US, and Choco's food service ICP was on Reddit and Facebook anyway. Mass cold calling was never going to work.
  • Fluint was replaced entirely by what the team built natively in Notion. Build won.

TRANSCRIPT

Q: Is there an AI solution you're desperate to try?

I've been interested in Sota.Tech. They're an image generation and video generation platform — a model wearing a shirt in a hundred different colours. They're based in London, so I'm really excited about Sota.

Q: What have you been dropping recently?

We dropped our enterprise ChatGPT and added Claude after a few of our team members identified how it could help us do work more proactively.

Q: How do Claude and Notion AI co-exist in your stack?

For building something we want to be a repository that grows over time, we use a Notion agent. With Claude, it's really more automation — an impact report of a solution engineering team. Now it can bring together information from demo requests, Salesforce, and deal progress and say: "Here's a summary of everything we did last week."

Q: You mentioned dropping two other tools?

Nooks was initially thought of as a way to accelerate how SDRs make more dials. With GDPR laws and the lack of a calling database outside the US, it wasn't something we decided to invest in long-term. Our ICP is in the food service industry — Reddit and Facebook for engagement were more effective than mass calling. And Fluint was basically taken over by what we built in Notion.
