The toolkit / AI tools
Choose tools by the job they do.
A useful AI stack is small. Pick one tool for each task you actually repeat, then judge it by output quality, cost, privacy, and how easily you can check its work.
Start with the work, not the software.
Use these four jobs to decide what belongs in your setup. You may need fewer tools than you think.
ResearchCollect questions from your audience, organize source material, and identify gaps. Open original sources before repeating a claim.
CreateDraft outlines, copy, visuals, or code. Add your expertise and edit for accuracy, accessibility, and voice.
OperateUse automations for handoffs, reminders, and formatting when the steps are stable and repeatable.
MeasureTrack what visitors use, where they stop, and what they ask next. Change one thing at a time.
A quick test before you commit
Try one real task with a candidate tool. Compare the result to doing it yourself, check the terms and data settings, and keep it only if it makes the work better or faster.
