What I use:

Over the past year, I’ve invested a lot of time to assess and compare the different AI tools that were popping out of nowhere. Here’s a list of my favorite ones so far.

  1. Notion: The single most influential tool I use every day, especially with the AI assistant that helps me do absolutely everything, including basic tasks like finding the right word or summarizing a text, to the more complex ones like starting a brainstorm. I can’t do without it today.

  2. Perplexity: Truth be told, I do not use Google anymore. Perplexity gives me (most of the time) reliable answers to some very complex questions. I can also refine some of the answers by following-up and the tool’s copilot mode. It’s accessible and user-friendly. If there’s one AI tool I’d recommend you pay for, it’s this one.

  3. AudioPen: This is the tool I use to get my thoughts together. As I ramble, I’m recorded. And then magic happens: my ramblings come out in a structured and meaningful way. This is one real concrete use of artificial day-to-day!

  4. Midjourney: The place where my imagination starts to accelerate. This text-to-image tool is the one I use to try to get out of regular forms of thinking. You should at least try it to test your assumptions and identify alternative ways of seeing a problem.

What I read:

There are reasons to like and to dislike Axios’s writing style. But at the end of the day, it is concise, meaningful and reliable — with a wide range of themes tackled in their newsletters. You can subscribe here.
