I’m often asked about my personal AI tech stack so here it is. With AI moving fast, it’s hard to keep up to make the best choices but this is my best effort.
The latest tools aren’t necessarily the best for everyone. What works for me might not work for you. It’s about finding the right tools for your role, thinking style, and needs.
As an AI and exec advisor focusing on GTM and AI strategies, thought leadership, and applied AI use cases by function, my stack leans more on thought partnership, research & analysis, and automation. While specialized tools exist for images and video, ChatGPT’s DALL-E and Sora are good enough for my needs in this area.
(In client work, one of my business partners, Tahnee Perry, and I work with AI-enabled tools used by various teams like 6Sense, Canva, Clay, Co-pilot, G2, Glean, Hubspot, Midjourney, Qualified, Scrunch AI, Writer, and more.)
Each brings unique strengths to fill gaps others might have, including mine. For example, Claude excels at coding so I can build without knowing how to code.
They never get tired, play no politics, and stay remarkably polite. Sure, they sometimes forget and make things up, but they work hard even if they’re moonlighting for many of you! 😉
For my part, I direct their thinking, guide them to collaborate with each other, and ensure responsible use.
I use the AI tools in the chart (created with Claude) for these tasks:
Thought Partners & Analysis – My go-to team for brainstorming, strategy, and solving complex problems. Claude is my fave because of its step-by-step approach, more insightful responses, and focus on AI ethics.
Process & Thinking Automation – Making strategic approaches repeatable and automating routine work
Research & Search – Finding info and uncovering valuable insights
Frameworks & Infographics – Creating clear visuals to explain complex ideas
Interactive Models – Turning concepts into working prototypes
Images & Video – Light creative work when needed
Learning & AI Podcasts – Perfect for auditory learners like me
These AI assistants have made my work better, faster, and more innovative. I’m more efficient but also more curious. The time saved goes into learning and exploring. It’s blurring the lines between work and personal growth in the best way.
Total monthly cost: $70. Best value in tools in my career.

New to AI? Start with one paid subscription of a major AI model (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude). Pick a few regular tasks to try, learn from peers in your industry, and take AI courses and role-specific AI workshops.
Looking ahead, I believe AI will choose the right tool for each task. We won’t need to know which model works best. AI will understand what we want to achieve and automatically pick the right approach.
What does your AI tech stack look like? How are you getting the most value from AI?
