Hi friends! 

As someone who's constantly on the lookout for AI tools to help streamline my work, this week I'm sharing three neat resources that have transformed my workflow. Whether you're managing client communications, creating content, or researching a topic, these tools could save you precious hours each week.

 I created the images below using the “Sketchy” plugin for ChatGPT, which lets you quickly craft hand-drawn style sketches directly in the chat. It’s a handy tool for visually illustrating ideas, diagrams, and concepts without needing design software. While it captures the essence of my instructions, it occasionally goes a bit rogue - promising, but still needs some refining to truly match what you envision.

Claude

After a colleague recommended Claude (by Anthropic AI), I switched from ChatGPT for its clear, human-like conversations. It handles everything from writing code to answering questions with a natural back-and-forth that feels like talking to a smart friend rather than an Large Language Model, making it my current go-to AI tool.

Perplexity

Perplexity is a free AI search engine designed to revolutionize the way you discover information. I'm using it for its ability to search the internet in real-time and provide well-cited responses, making complex research queries feel effortless. Use it instead of Google to save you a lot of time.
