What are the 5 tools you simply couldn't do your work without?

by
•

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

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

What are your five?

  1. InShot – For handling all mobile video sequencing and audio layering.

  2. Claude – My final script editor, creative sounding board, and strategy partner.

  3. Gemini – For SEO strategy, structuring metadata, and launch mapping.

  4. ChatGPT – For rapid asset generation and visual conceptualization.

  5. Grok – For 3D visual generation and character asset consistency.

    Yes, that’s my entire production studio—built and managed 100% on a single smartphone! 👦👧

  6. How did I forget Google notes.

Claude AI

Gemini Pro

Gmail

I can see some interesting listst around here...My 5 (sales professional, enterprise AI):

HubSpot — pipeline lives here. if it's not logged, it doesn't exist.

Fathom — records and summarizes every call. pull the transcript, write the follow-up, done.

Lusha — finds the Prospects at any target account with a verified phone. outbound fuel.

Claude — drafting outreach, building proposals, prepping calls, thinking out loud. always open.

Timbal — where i run agents for complex tasks. enrichment pipelines, CRM sync, multi-step automations. Still feels like cheating.

Gmail

Nice list! Mine would be ChatGPT, VS Code, GitHub, Chrome DevTools, and Notion. As a full-stack developer, these tools are part of my daily workflow and help me build web applications more efficiently. I also share development insights and projects on my website if anyone's interested: .

  1. ChatGPT- Ideas and planning

  2. Gmail- Communication with company

  3. BookTime- Master calendar for bookings and scheduling

  4. Figma- Idea creation

  1. Sealit password manager, Claude code, VS code, Gemini Ai, Google docs.

Here are my 5:

Slack

Outlook

Yahoo mail

ChatGPT/ claude

Glean

in order of how much they'd ruin my life if they died:

1. claude code - shipped a feature this week at 2am that would've taken 3 weeks pre-claude. real talk: it's 70% of my actual output now

2. perplexity for research because i lost trust in google search results in 2023 and never got it back

3. linear because i tried 8 other PM tools and only this one doesn't slow me down

4. figma even though i'm a backend guy. i need it just to communicate what i'm thinking

5. discord for the 4 specific channels where the people i learn from actually hang out

the controversial one: i stopped using slack last year. nobody noticed except the people who needed me to respond instantly.

My top 5:

  1. Supabase - Easiest for authentication

  2. Vercel - Deployment

  3. Obsidian - Markdown and supports community made plugins

  4. Tutamail - Best option out there for privacy

  5. Qwen 2.5 - one of the best self hosted LLM models
