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

I ve been thinking about this over the past few weeks, especially as larger tech corporations that weren t originally built around AI (Oracle, Meta, ClickUp, etc.) have started mass layoffs in favour of more efficient AI-driven solutions.

From that, it seems like AI companies must be doing extremely well and are actively trying to protect their positions. This also suggests that to strengthen their position (besides AI itself), they still need human capital to help them grow.

One of everyone's biggest nightmares is losing data.

It seems like I ritualistically deal with this every 6 years when my external drive fails, and then I have to get the whole history back (expensively).
