Confession: I Use AI (lots)

We used to hide things like watching TV, taking naps, or—gasp—using AI, as if they were signs of laziness. But let's be honest: smart creators and entrepreneurs know that productivity isn’t about grinding harder, it’s about working smarter.

And using AI? That’s a power move.

I use it daily to think clearer, write faster, and produce better work. And I’m genuinely impressed when others do the same. So let’s stop whispering about AI and start sharing what’s actually working.

Here are a few tools I lean on most as a creator and entrepreneur:

🧠 ChatGPT (OpenAI)

My go-to for brainstorming, content drafting, and idea development. It’s like a creative co-pilot that helps me get unstuck and ship faster.

📚 Claude (Anthropic)

Great for long-form writing, deep analysis, and complex problem-solving. It handles big ideas and keeps context sharp.

🔍 Perplexity

A lightning-fast research assistant. It sources up-to-date answers from across the web—great for trend-spotting and verifying what’s worth your time.

🧭 Manus

My go-to for strategic thinking and business planning. Great at breaking down ideas and structuring complex projects.

Let’s not just talk about using AI. Let’s use it well.
