Claude Opus 4.8 dropped yesterday

Yesterday, the AI world hit a new level.

Anthropic officially released Claude Opus 4.8.

So I did what any copywriter in 2026 should do.

I put it head-to-head against the last version, Opus 4.7. Did it on a real piece of copy and recorded the whole thing.

My take: The new 4.8 is noticeably better.

If you’re using AI to write or optimize your copy, you need to switch from ChatGPT or 4.7 to Opus 4.8 immediately.

But… there’s a catch (that I’ll share in the video).

So I made a video showing you how the new model writes copy (its downsides), and how to get the most out of it to make your copy convert better.

(Hint: I’m giving you a free super prompt on the video)

Watch it here:

That free prompt is the part you'll want. It's a plug-and-play file you drop into Claude every time you write, and it forces the copy to WRITE like a HUMAN.

Link to grab it is in the video description.

Go watch the video, then test it on your next piece of copy.

P.S. AI can help you write better copy faster. But it can't build you a $10k/month client pipeline. That part's still on you. I've got a few spots left in my June 1:1 coaching program. Reply to this email with “June” for details.
