What AI Tools Do I Use Daily and Why?
In an upcoming AI Moment podcast coming November 10th, we discuss our AI tech stack.
Here is my AI tech stack and some use cases.
LLM: Google Gemini as default LLM - so I use it for deep research, limited number of image creations or tweaks of existing images, I use the daily and weekly digests for news or most important industry changes
Analysis: Analysis is two-fold
Example of how I use Dia and Comet to run analysis
Gemini in browser with sheets
Comet or Dia to ask what did I miss, where are there any flaws or risks,
1 to 6 model explained
1 to 6 model: As discussed previously on the podcast, and in my recent Beyond The AI Hype presentation, I use Gemini to review each transcript, it tweaks based on my prompt - I then ask it to write show notes with another prompt, and then I edit into a supporting newsletter. It still needs me to review, edit and personalise but it is the best at doing this.
Study Aid: NotebookLM to understand topics and create shareable knowledge nuggets - so often I’ll write long form and then create videos or audio to listen through
Dyslexia Aid: ElevenLabs to listen back through my articles or presentations to understand if it flows well as most human readers out there. I have always used - to show readers to slow down or pause when reading. I have dyslexia, so I leverage tools to remove little oversights or when I have missplet or misused a word or phase when I have dyslexia fatigue.
Writing Aid: Writing I have grammarly installed - I tend to ignore it when I feel I can, they over-word togethers and often removes the flow of articles. AI doesn’t always make products better.
Mini Apps: I use Google AI Studio to create mini apps that I can use to review, quickly mock something up. I often find use cases and build mini apps versus long prompts or having to prompts numerous times.
Here is a AI Studio app I built taking one video and mocking up into 6 different places, so from Times Square to newspaper to Instagram story ad
Audio & Video: Riverside and Descript to edit the podcast, videos and make clips to share on social or to coaching clients.
Answer Engine: Perplexity when I need to trust an answer quickly
Long Form Content Checker: Dia and Comet browsers to understand long-form content and see if it’s worth the time investment
