Serious question with a stupid premise.

I've never had a good product idea while sitting at my desk, staring at the screen, trying to have one. They show up in the dumbest places in the shower, on the toilet, or at 3am when I've decided sleeping is the priority.

Mine came while I was arguing with an AI writing tool at 2am. It kept giving me citations that looked perfect and pointed to papers that were never published. I closed the laptop, went to bed, and couldn't sleep because I kept thinking "someone should just make it cite only what I actually gave it."

Then I spent a year building that.

This could be related to your industry, or even a side project you're working on.

Here are my 5 (I couldn't function without them):

1. Grammarly proofreading my texts, not just posts, but also client communication

2. ChatGPT / Claude mostly brainstorming, help with copy, and summarising

3. Figma I can put the basic graphics together quickly.

4. Translator sounds incredibly old-school, but English is not my mother tongue

5. Gmail and not only for communication, but also for storing ideas and sending myself email reminders for posts
