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):

  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?

ChatGPT - I mostly use it for research and day-to-day inquiries.
Gemini - It's where I run my creative juices to educate my audiences.
Perplexity - For all the burning SEO questions that I want to answer or get answered.
Cursor AI - If I feel stuck with my codes, there's always a prompt to resolve it.
Napkin AI - My creative partner for generating flowcharts and diagrams.

These are my top favorites, but I also work with other ones like Claude for reports and other complex tasks.

How do you manage your customers? CRMs? Google Sheets? Notion?

What I use everyday: Claude, Figma, Perplexity to search the web for me differently, and Gmail.

The tool we should never forget to use: Our brain. For judging, taste, reasoning harder than any AI could do.

Mine, as a solo founder: Claude for thinking out loud, Linear so ideas stop leaking, Cursor for the actual code, Plausible because I don't trust vanity numbers, and BotWork for the one-off tasks I'd otherwise hire a freelancer for (you describe it, an agent does it, you pay only if it's good). Mostly the throwaway stuff that used to eat half a day.
