Are you a product builder or a messenger between different AIs?

If you're building a product with AI tools, here's how your morning probably looks:

Open ChatGPT. Paste your project context. Ask your question. Get a decent answer.
Switch to Claude for something else. Paste your context again. Different tool, same briefing.
Hop into your codebase with Codex. Paste context again.

You're not just a builder anymore. You're a context delivery system.

The indie hackers I've talked to who use AI most effectively have one thing in common: they've figured out how to stop babysitting their tools and just use them.

What are the 5 tools you simply couldn't do your work without?

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):

Grammarly proofreading my texts, not just posts, but also client communication
ChatGPT / Claude mostly brainstorming, help with copy, and summarising
Figma I can put the basic graphics together quickly.
Translator sounds incredibly old-school, but English is not my mother tongue
Gmail and not only for communication, but also for storing ideas and sending myself email reminders for posts
