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
[and soon one more that I am working on – SafeLimit – prevents me from being banned on LinkedIn, so I will not lose my account.]
What are your five?

My top-5:
Framer for the g-mos's website
Reply.io for cold outreach
Gemini/Claude depending on tasks
Teampaper for screenshots
Notion for the documentation
Codex CLI + IDE for dev
Cloudflare for email & hosting
telegram for notifications
@jiteshghanchi Why do you consider codex better than Claude Code or Copilot?
Gemini/Claude - mostly for brainstorming, structure building, image generation
Hubspot (or other CRM) - I'm in sales so it's a must
Spreadsheets - basically any idea or task starts there
Calendar - for self management and meetings
LinkedIn - mostly for research and outreach
Love this list, the email myself reminders one is so real. Mine is-
Figma – where basically my whole day lives, design and thinking both
Claude – brainstorming, copy, and talking myself out of bad ideas
Claude Design – for turning those ideas into actual screens fast
Slack – the only reason I have any idea what the team is doing
Notion – every doc, note, and half-formed idea ends up here
And the soon slot, same as you: I've got two in the oven, Aeoix (tracking brand visibility across AI search) and Linkova (a backlink marketplace that shows the real price of a placement).
The Grammarly pick is making me realise I just let Claude do that job now.
my 5,
1) Claude - coding
2) LinkedIn Sales Navigator - To understand my ICP
3) @Lindy - Great personal AI
4) ChatGPT - Brainstorming
5) Claude Design - for all designs and template
@arun_prasad06 Is LinkedIn Sales Navigator worth it?
Asana and Claude!
@hristinavladkova I tried Asana but somehow didn't find my way towards it :D So now, I am on Jira :D
SocialBu for social media management
PostHog for monitoring important events related to users within the app.
ChatGPT for brainstorming ideas and research
@itsawaisyounas What is your stance on social media management tools? Because there are already many. How do you handle competition?
My five are:
VisuaLeaf -> working with MongoDB and SQL databases, testing queries, schemas, and new features
Figma -> creating graphics, article covers, and product visuals
ChatGPT -> research, brainstorming, and improving content
Camtasia -> recording and editing product demos and tutorials
Jira -> reporting bugs and keeping track of product improvements
ChatGPT, Figma, Gmail, Oscar Chat, and coffee. The first four run the business; the fifth runs the founder 😄
@kseniia_shevchenko2 What is Oscar Chat good for? The main benefit?
Claude Code/Codex
Hermes
Granola
Notion/Obsidian

@navinkishoreravikumar What is Hermes and Granola for?
