Transcript excerpt
I'm kind of a AI hypocrite. I've demoed hundreds and hundreds of sweet ass AI tools, but I only pay for like a handful of them. So here's the tools that I actually use daily. Pretty much most things, this is my go-to, anything that Claude can't handle like large context tasks. These are my coding homies. If I need any factual information, this 10x to my video editor's output, anything automation related, this is the go-to. For hosting, this is what I use. Database for everything, pretty much. I used to use whisper flow and it started being bad. Oh, I switched and this one is a lot better. I'm gonna be honest. Whisper flow, fix your shit, dude. This is what I use to talk to humans. Having a personal task list is always important. No matter what skill you're at, I just start using this. It's pretty cool. This will save you time. I swear to God, all my Instagram automation related things, web scrape being pretty much. Yeah, we're getting into the fun ones. Media storage. I just started this one. It's really simple, but I can't, I fuck with it. It's clean. I wanna learn anything I'm plugging going here now. Yeah, we know what this screen recording. This is like any password management for the team. Yeah, people know what stripe is. It payment processing. Whoa, yeah, it's pretty much the ones that I could think of right now, at least.
