I use AI every day.
I use AI every day.
But not the way most people think.
Here's my actual stack:
CLAUDE β 50% of my usage
β³ Writing, editing, thinking through ideas
β³ Long context, nuanced output
β³ My go-to for anything that needs depth
CHATGPT β 35% of my usage
β³ Image generation, quick research, custom GPTs
β³ When I need to do something, not think through something
β³ Best for tasks, not strategy
PERPLEXITY β 10% of my usage
β³ Fact-checking, sourcing claims, quick lookups
β³ When I need citations, not opinions
β³ Replaced most of my Google searches
GEMINI β 5% of my usage
β³ Only when I'm deep in Google Docs or Gmail
β³ Useful, but I don't live in Google's ecosystem
β³ Great if you do
WHAT I DON'T DO:
β³ Use one tool for everything
β³ Accept first drafts
β³ Publish AI hooks or CTAs without editing them
β³ Publish without reading out loud
AI isn't a magic button.
It's a set of tools.
Know which one to reach for.
