ChatGPT by OpenAI
If I want a formal response, it delivers; if I'm going for a more casual chat, it nails that too. However, sometimes it gives a bit of a "textbook" answer, but overall, it's an amazing tool that has made my life and work much more convenient. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a helpful digital assistant.

Notion
Notion is a really versatile tool. It’s great for organizing notes, tasks, and projects all in one place. I love the flexibility it offers, but sometimes it feels a bit overwhelming with all the features. Still, it’s awesome for personal and team use.

Vercel
Pros: Easily provide neat designs without looking for a designer. (This overkills the Cons, 10 out of 10!) Cons: Sometimes it just won't provide what you want. Also, it has UI dependencies, which may be bad if you have a specific UI preference. Plus, free users' production is public unless you pay.

Figma
The complexity of use and increased functionality can indeed give the impression that Figma has become more intricate. But it's important to remember that this also reflects the growing demands on design tools. Ultimately, this may seem like an overwhelming level of detail and an abundance of settings for some users. It still remains a powerful tool for collaboration and design creation, and it undoubtedly has advantages. Finding the right balance between convenience and functionality based on specific needs is crucial. For me, Figma fell short in this regard, but who knows what's going to happen next.

Shopify
Used it to spin up a side project that I was able to get operational in less than a week, from storefront setup to product sourcing and everything in between.

Taplink makes it easy for me to organize all my business links on one neat and attractive page. After using Taplink, engagement on my Instagram increased because it was easier for customers to find my products. The page setup process is very fast and intuitive, perfect for beginners!
