Stop obsessing over ChatGPT. 4 tools I found more useful (and how I use them): August is shaping up to be my best month this year. For both revenue and productivity. I owe these tools a lot of credit. 🧠 Claude: My Go-To Writing Assistant I use Claude more than ChatGPT. Why? Claude’s writing sounds more human and is really good at making your thoughts concise. I use it to help with ideas and improve my writing for LinkedIn content. https://claude.ai/ 💼 Substrata: AI-Powered Deal Closer If you’re trying to close any kind of deal, this is like having your own AI negotiation or sales coach. It can help you maintain authority throughout conversations and emails. My recruiting company closed our biggest deal this month with a F500 company and I leaned on this tool a lot. https://www.substrata.me/ 🔍 Perplexity: My Personal Research Team When I want answers to important questions, I rely on Perplexity more than Google these days. It’s like having your own research assistant you can outsource to. I also use it to do company/competitor analysis and get important stats & figures on anything. https://www.perplexity.ai/ 🎙️ Fireflies: Meeting Notes on Autopilot Always in back-to-back calls, I used to scribble notes on a legal pad, missing important details. Fireflies captures key moments from all my conversations and generates post-meeting notes. It's become my second brain - I can't count the times it's saved me from forgetting crucial details. https://fireflies.ai/ Have you tried any of these?
