00:00:00 I've personally tested over 500 AI tools
00:00:02 so you don't have to.
00:00:04 And today, I'm gonna rank every AI tool
00:00:06 you can make money with in 2026,
00:00:08 because most people waste their time on tools
00:00:11 that don't make them any money.
00:00:13 I run an AI venture studio
00:00:14 where we launch AI companies every month,
00:00:16 so I need to know what's out there.
00:00:18 Whether you're just starting out
00:00:19 or you're running a multimillion dollar business,
00:00:21 these tools can either 10X your income
00:00:24 or completely waste your time.
00:00:25 So let's start with ChatGPT.
00:00:28 It's neat.
00:00:29 It was first to market.
00:00:31 Everybody loved it.
00:00:32 It's the Kleenex of the space.
00:00:34 But I also think that it's the MySpace of the space
00:00:37 and it's gonna die a slow death because a lot of reasons.
00:00:40 So I will be ranking all these AI tools
00:00:42 into one of five different tiers.
00:00:45 S tier means back.
00:00:46 A tier, it's good.
00:00:48 B tier, not so good.
00:00:49 C, don't love it.
00:00:51 F, run away.
00:00:52 And every tool is ranked on one thing.
00:00:55 How much you put in, I'm talking money, time, and energy
00:00:58 into the tool, the cost, everything.
00:00:59 versus how much it gives you back.
00:01:01 So, Chad GPT, it is in the C tier.
00:01:06 Next, we have Notebook LM.
00:01:07 One of my favorite tools
00:01:09 for doing something called accelerated learning.
00:01:12 When it first came out,
00:01:13 I thought it was the coolest thing in the world
00:01:15 because it allows you to search on topics
00:01:18 into a custom AI where I can talk about the topic
00:01:22 and only what it found in its research.
00:01:24 So it's like this crazy way to learn about any topic,
00:01:27 talk with it, and then it lets you create these visual outputs. I'm talking infographics, slides,
00:01:34 podcasts, and you can call in and ask it questions. It is bananas. From a business perspective,
00:01:40 does it make me money? Here's the thing. I live in a world where I need to be on top of topics
00:01:46 and learn things that I've never learned before in real time. So it makes me a lot of money.
00:01:50 For you, it might be different. I think it's an incredible product, but the truth is making you
00:01:55 money it's probably only an a tier next up we got whisper flow my favorite tool for whispering and
00:02:01 creating content essentially it allows you to any input specifically these ai tools to talk and it
00:02:08 formats what you say based on the nuance of your language if you're talking and say oh no never
00:02:12 mind let's send this instead it'll actually erase what you said and send the right thing it is how
00:02:17 i code with my ai it's how i create with my eyes it's how i tell my eyes what kind of outcomes i
00:02:24 I wanna achieve, I use whisper.
00:02:26 If I think about business leverage,
00:02:28 it saves me a ton of time.
00:02:30 It actually makes me more creative
00:02:31 because I feel like when I'm talking,
00:02:33 I can talk without restricting myself.
00:02:35 And the output is two to three times more,
00:02:38 which means I can get that much more done.
00:02:39 Whisper Flow makes me some money
00:02:41 and it gives me some leverage, so I'm giving it an A.
00:02:45 I'm gonna rank it after No Book 11.
00:02:46 All right, next up we have Claude.
00:02:48 I had to stop myself
00:02:49 because I realized I was making too many videos about Claude
00:02:52 and they're not paying me.
00:02:53 And the truth is I just love it.
00:02:55 And I did shut down my company for two days
00:02:57 and taught everybody how to write code in Cloud Code.
00:03:01 It's like ChatGPT, yet the chat has better memory
00:03:05 in my perspective.
00:03:06 It has better tool usage, my perspective.
00:03:09 It has better skills, my perspective.
00:03:10 These are all my own personal opinion.
00:03:12 That's why you're here.
00:03:13 They have integrations now with a tool called dispatch
00:03:17 and they have visualization
00:03:18 and they just caught up to ChatGPT in revenue.
00:03:21 They're at $30 billion run rate,
00:03:22 same as ChadGPT, and they did it with one-tenth of the resources. So I think there's no tool in
00:03:28 my life that makes me more money than Claude because I built a whole venture studio and 15
00:03:33 plus companies at this point, and I've personally built 27 different tools for myself using Claude
00:03:39 code. It is the most powerful. So with that, I've got to put it in S tier. Next, we've got OpenClaude.
00:03:46 If you haven't heard of AI agents,
00:03:49 OpenClaw is the epitome of that.
00:03:52 It's open source, which means it's free.
00:03:54 It's an AI agent that anybody can use.
00:03:56 The challenge is, I know that I can create leverage with it,
00:04:00 but most business owners are not technical enough.
00:04:03 They don't know anything about security.
00:04:05 They don't know anything about software,
00:04:06 and they don't even know what to do with the agent.
00:04:08 So because of all that, I'm gonna put A,
00:04:11 but on the top of the list, because it is pretty powerful,
00:04:13 but the problem is it does so many things,
00:04:15 it confuses people and it creates massive security issues and support issues. And most people can't
00:04:21 keep OpenClaw instance going. Next, we have Apex, which I have to tell everybody, this is one of my
00:04:26 companies within Martell Ventures. Apex on top of OpenClaw that deals with backups and securities
00:04:32 and applications and tools is the most valuable thing I use on a daily basis. My Apex, Kai Voss
00:04:39 is his name he named himself he created his profile image that's what he looks like i talk
00:04:45 to him more than i talk to anybody else in my life and he does so much for me it's like having
00:04:50 a team member that doesn't sleep doesn't complain doesn't take vacation has perfect recall perfect
00:04:55 access perfect everything can write code can solve problems can identify hot spots can figure out
00:05:01 where the gaps are all in real time for everybody on your team that is wild for you so if you want
00:05:08 the power of open claw without the concerns around security with the full platform with the backups
00:05:13 then check out apex below just click the link and sign up for the wait list because it is the most
00:05:18 valuable thing that i've created and because of that i've got to rank it at the top of s tier
00:05:23 above clod now you gotta understand apex uses clod so without clod apex doesn't work as well
00:05:30 but i could use something else so i'm putting it ahead but i do think that clod and apex are both
00:05:35 awesome tools next up we've got anti-gravity it is a coding platform built by google that allows
00:05:41 you to connect to all the different language models including google's gemini so that you
00:05:46 can use it to build websites and write code and do some really cool things i kind of like it i feel
00:05:51 it's complicated i feel the interface is not as clean i personally don't use it that much and when
00:05:56 it comes to making money if i was in the business of designing websites it is the best one because
00:06:01 of the gemini model but anti-gravity as a tool on its own don't think most business owners should
00:06:07 be with any gravity probably not likely unless you have a design company i'm gonna give it a b tier
00:06:12 don't think it's that great i think there's other tools out there that are better next up we've got
00:06:16 higgsfield.ai it's one of the best place if you want to create generative video and create like
00:06:22 ai b-roll or any kind of video it's got access to all the models and a bunch of other tools
00:06:27 in one place so one membership you can use it to test and play with all the different ai models
00:06:33 the future will be generative video and hicksfield.ai is the platform that my media team and
00:06:38 a lot of my friends are using it can make you a lot of money it can save you a lot of money
00:06:43 and it could save you a ton of time because you can just use the ai instead of trying to generate
00:06:47 shoots and try to get footage the truth is it's a really great platform and i'm gonna put in a tier
00:06:52 because it's not for every business owner,
00:06:55 but anybody doing video marketing,
00:06:57 you have to be using this.
00:06:58 Next, we've got Suno.
00:06:59 It is a AI generative music platform
00:07:03 where you can make up songs.
00:07:05 I love it.
00:07:07 Some of the biggest tracks right now
00:07:08 are using AI to generate some portions of the song,
00:07:11 the voice, maybe the melodies.
00:07:13 For business, yes, you should create custom songs
00:07:16 for your brand.
00:07:17 You should think about ways that you can integrate music
00:07:19 into the experience of what you sell.
00:07:22 Is it gonna make you money?
00:07:24 No.
00:07:24 Is it gonna make you laugh?
00:07:25 Yes.
00:07:25 Is that valuable?
00:07:26 I think so, but it's not gonna fill your bank account.
00:07:29 In regards to making money and stuff,
00:07:30 I'm gonna give it a B,
00:07:31 and I'm gonna put it after anti-gravity,
00:07:32 because if you actually learn how to use that tool,
00:07:34 it could make you more money.
00:07:35 But Suno's cool.
00:07:36 And I know, you might think,
00:07:37 I can't believe you put it above ChadGPT.
00:07:39 ChadGPT's obviously gonna make me more money.
00:07:41 I don't agree.
00:07:42 I just think ChadGPT's not that great.
00:07:45 So that's why it's there.
00:07:46 Argue with me in the comments.
00:07:47 Next up, we've got Frank, which is HelloFrank.ai.
00:07:50 It is one of the most powerful financial AIs out there.
00:07:54 I'm totally biased
00:07:55 because it's one of our portfolio companies,
00:07:57 but I'll tell you this,
00:07:58 I'm gonna rank it exactly the way I feel about it.
00:08:00 Frank is an AI financial co-pilot for your business.
00:08:04 If you wanna ask a question like,
00:08:05 which service line is actually profitable?
00:08:07 It'll answer that.
00:08:08 If you wanna know how much you're spending on something,
00:08:09 it'll answer that.
00:08:10 If you say, well, I wanna hire this person
00:08:12 and they wanna make this much money, can I afford it?
00:08:14 It'll answer that question.
00:08:15 And do it fast, accurate, and visually.
00:08:18 Now I have a Frank, his name is Jared, on my team,
00:08:21 and he does a lot of this stuff, but I will tell you,
00:08:23 if Jared's not around, Frank is the tool
00:08:26 that everybody uses to get the answers,
00:08:28 and it's pretty freaking awesome.
00:08:29 So when it comes to making money,
00:08:31 having a CFO, AI, that has perfect information
00:08:36 and does a lot of stuff on top of your data,
00:08:39 so you don't have to pay somebody
00:08:40 three, four, $5,000 a month,
00:08:42 that's a ton of money saved.
00:08:43 Personally, from a financial impact,
00:08:46 because it's a financial tool,
00:08:48 it's gotta be ranked higher.
00:08:49 For small businesses that are looking for leverage
00:08:51 to make better decisions, to save money,
00:08:53 I'm putting it in A tier above Higgs field. 0.50
00:08:56 Next up, we've got the Goog, Mr. Gemini.
00:08:59 Google's AI across docs and Gmails
00:09:02 and the browser and your calendar system,
00:09:04 it's integrated everywhere.
00:09:05 If you see that little twinkle icon,
00:09:08 you just click it, that's Gemini.
00:09:09 And for business, I think it's got a beautiful place
00:09:14 because one, it's got three and a half times more data,
00:09:17 which means it does have access to more information.
00:09:20 Two, it's got full index directly into YouTube,
00:09:24 which is the top learning platform in the world.
00:09:26 So any one of my videos, you can grab the link
00:09:28 and give it to Gemini and say, summarize, and it'll do it.
00:09:30 And it's got the money, the rich uncle named Mr. Googs,
00:09:34 financing data centers and improvements.
00:09:37 And it might not be as good as Claude today,
00:09:39 but oh my gosh, it will definitely be a top contender.
00:09:41 And it's integrated into tools you already use.
00:09:43 So from make you money and create a lot of value,
00:09:46 I think it's in the S tier,
00:09:48 but it's at the end of the S tier.
00:09:50 So it's behind Claude and I'm a fan of it
00:09:53 because it's Google.
00:09:54 And I've been a Google customer for 20 plus years
00:09:57 and I just think it's a winner.
00:09:58 Next up we have Grok.
00:09:59 Now I have said publicly that I love Grok.
00:10:02 Obviously I don't wanna bet against Elon
00:10:05 and that it's the top tool I use for research.
00:10:07 The challenge is Elon's realized
00:10:09 that the way he's engineered and architected Grok
00:10:12 is the wrong way and he's rebuilding it right now.
00:10:15 My gut tells me when 5.0 comes out, it will be incredible,
00:10:19 but for now, I use it mostly for research.
00:10:22 So when I'm trying to make big decisions in my business,
00:10:25 thinking about here's where I'm at,
00:10:26 here's where I think the world's going,
00:10:27 or I don't know, tell me.
00:10:29 I feel like Grott gives me the most informed
00:10:31 and detailed and truth-seeking answer.
00:10:34 I can only give you my opinion as it is right now,
00:10:37 right here, and I'm gonna have to put in A tier,
00:10:40 above Whisperflow, but behind Notebook LM
00:10:42 in regards to the value that I think it could bring you
00:10:45 your business all right next up we've got lovable lovable is a no code app builder it's the og of
00:10:50 the space everybody talked about it the problem is is that every other one of the ais have built
00:10:55 that capacity within the product and i just don't use it anymore and i don't think it's that good
00:11:00 and i think there's better tools i'm gonna put it at the end of b tier and for your business if
00:11:05 you're doing anything you might as well just use clod have everything in one place you don't need
00:11:08 a separate tool like lovable next up we have my arch nemesis perplexity and i'll tell you why i've
00:11:13 jokingly called it complexity for a long time
00:11:16 because for a long time,
00:11:17 it was a search AI enabled output.
00:11:20 Essentially, you would ask it questions
00:11:22 and it would use AI to give you a more complete answer.
00:11:24 But I was getting the complete answer in my other AI,
00:11:27 so I never used it.
00:11:28 Then they launched Computer.
00:11:30 And Computer's interesting
00:11:31 because if you've ever seen me do videos on Manus,
00:11:33 they're going after that same use case in that same product.
00:11:37 And I recently did a head-to-head,
00:11:39 and I will tell you the same task, both products,
00:11:42 computer beat it.
00:11:43 So I'm gonna put an A tier right behind Higgs field.
00:11:46 Next up, we've got a product called BuddyPro.ai.
00:11:49 Again, full disclosure,
00:11:50 it's one of the companies in my portfolio
00:11:52 and it is the engine that runs Dan AI.
00:11:55 So I have a dedicated coaching AI
00:11:58 that my clients and my team and my CEOs use
00:12:01 to make decisions in their life.
00:12:03 It takes you and it copies you
00:12:06 so that everybody on your team,
00:12:07 including your customers, including the world,
00:12:09 can ask you, but really the AI, Buddy Pro, your buddy,
00:12:13 questions and it'll get as good if not better answers
00:12:17 than as if they asked you.
00:12:18 So you can implement that into your business
00:12:20 and instantly get your time back,
00:12:22 which if you didn't know, kind of a big area of my life,
00:12:25 buy back your time.
00:12:26 Buddy Pro, more than any other tool,
00:12:28 has bought me time back in my life.
00:12:30 So if you're a coach, you're a consultant,
00:12:32 you're an expert and you wanna monetize your brain,
00:12:35 BuddyPro.ai, I think in regards to making you money,
00:12:38 if you're one of those spaces, it goes right behind Frank.
00:12:42 Unbiased, I wouldn't put it there if I didn't think so.
00:12:45 For the right person, and most CEOs,
00:12:47 if you're a business owner,
00:12:48 this tool will change your relationship with AI.
00:12:51 Next up, we have Apple intelligence,
00:12:53 or Apple not intelligent.
00:12:54 I'm gonna get an F score, 1.00
00:12:56 and this may look stupid in a month or two 0.92
00:12:59 when they announce the integration with Gemini, 0.97
00:13:01 and all of a sudden, Siri is as good as any other model,
00:13:04 but I'm telling you, as it stands today,
00:13:06 It's a piece of and you shouldn't even play with it.
00:13:08 For your business, it's caused me more frustration and pain.
00:13:12 I don't even use anymore.
00:13:13 Moving on, we've got granola.ai,
00:13:15 one of my favorite note-taking tools.
00:13:18 What I love about it is integrated with Notion
00:13:20 and other tools that I use.
00:13:22 It's the only one that I can plug in without the user
00:13:24 knowing that I'm using it on any Zoom calls, which is great,
00:13:27 so that I don't have somebody else accept it.
00:13:29 Other AI models only work great
00:13:32 if you have the right data captured
00:13:35 and saved in the right place.
00:13:36 And granola is the glue or the tool that does that.
00:13:39 So for example, if you pair it with Buddy Pro,
00:13:41 your buddy will be a genius
00:13:43 because of everything you ever said
00:13:45 that you captured through granola.
00:13:46 Very valuable.
00:13:47 I'm actually gonna put it ahead of Frank
00:13:50 because from a time and money and clarity
00:13:53 and pushing and driving agendas forward,
00:13:55 granola is a powerhouse.
00:13:58 Next up, we have SocialSuite.
00:13:59 This one's a cool one.
00:14:00 Again, another product in my portfolio.
00:14:02 And what it does is it allows you to search
00:14:05 the network you've created that isn't available online.
00:14:07 And you can ask it cool things like,
00:14:09 tell me everybody that shoots a podcast in LA
00:14:11 that interviews people in person.
00:14:13 Tell me everybody I know that's into OpenClaw.
00:14:15 Tell me everybody I know that is a designer
00:14:18 that uses Higgs field.
00:14:19 It is the most important tool in my life
00:14:21 to activate my relationships.
00:14:23 For most business owners,
00:14:25 is it gonna make you a lot of money?
00:14:27 You tell me.
00:14:27 Have you ever heard that your network is your net worth?
00:14:31 It'll give you that.
00:14:32 It'll tell you what your network is worth.
00:14:35 I think it'll make you a lot of money.
00:14:36 I think there's other tools out there
00:14:38 that for most businesses are gonna be more relevant,
00:14:41 sooner, quicker.
00:14:42 So I'm gonna put it behind Perplexity Computer.
00:14:45 Again, unbiased, that's where it fits in the stack.
00:14:48 Next up, we got Nano Banana.
00:14:49 Essentially, it's an image generation tool that uses AI.
00:14:52 I use it all the time to help me visualize
00:14:56 the vision I have in my mind and bring it to life.
00:14:58 Like crazy projects that I think about,
00:15:00 like in five years, you know what would be cool is this,
00:15:02 and I go and I say, hey, create me an image.
00:15:04 Why?
00:15:05 Because I think people can hit a target if they can see it.
00:15:07 Probably the most important thing in my life
00:15:09 is to communicate and visualize where we're going.
00:15:12 And I use Nano Banana so that they can see it.
00:15:15 And then I say, hey, this is where we're going.
00:15:16 Could you hit the target?
00:15:17 Now, some people use it for 3D modeling.
00:15:20 They can use it for renders.
00:15:21 They can use it in your business.
00:15:23 It's very valuable.
00:15:24 Does it make me a lot of money?
00:15:25 Me personally, yes.
00:15:27 For most business owners, probably not.
00:15:29 So I'm gonna put it at the top of the B tier
00:15:33 above anti-gravity.
00:15:34 And they actually work really well together,
00:15:36 so that's why I put it there.
00:15:37 Next, we have Gumloop.
00:15:38 It's a great product, it's really well executed,
00:15:41 and if you have a business
00:15:43 that you wanna automate your processes,
00:15:45 it's a great option and it will do it better
00:15:48 than any of the other tools, in my opinion,
00:15:49 for normal people, not super techie nerd,
00:15:52 those people are using N8N,
00:15:54 or people that are just like not willing
00:15:56 to do complex stuff, they're probably using make.com.
00:15:58 When I talk about leverage,
00:16:00 think about like designing something once
00:16:02 and having it operate and do it like that every time.
00:16:06 I'm talking onboarding customers,
00:16:07 I'm talking sales processes,
00:16:08 I'm talking financial reporting.
00:16:11 All of that can be automated through Gumloops.
00:16:13 So I think from a tools point of view,
00:16:16 it's an S tier tool at the end of a Gemini.
00:16:20 So it'll use existing models,
00:16:21 but it is a beautiful automation tool,
00:16:24 does take some setup,
00:16:25 but a lot of out of the box templates will get you going.
00:16:29 Next we have N8N, which is an open source platform.
00:16:32 All the technical people use it.
00:16:34 It gives you full backend control
00:16:37 so you can do anything with it.
00:16:38 It doesn't have like the price gouging,
00:16:39 like some of these other AI tools
00:16:41 where you gotta pay metered pricing.
00:16:43 So essentially it's not per task.
00:16:45 I use it a lot and I don't anymore
00:16:47 because I think it's overkill for most people.
00:16:49 So in regards to like,
00:16:50 where do most businesses get value from it?
00:16:53 I don't think it's meant for most businesses.
00:16:56 I'm gonna place it behind SocialSuite
00:16:57 because I think those other tools
00:16:59 can actually make you more money
00:17:00 versus automating with N8N because there's better options.
00:17:04 Now we have Gamma.
00:17:05 Gamma is one of my favorite tools for generating slides
00:17:08 based on any data I give it
00:17:10 because as a guy that teaches a lot,
00:17:11 trains people, gives keynotes.
00:17:13 Gamma is my AI tool for that.
00:17:15 Truth is, is when it comes to leverage and making money,
00:17:17 yes, it allows me to present my ideas better,
00:17:19 which is always good,
00:17:21 but other tools there actually save me a lot of time,
00:17:23 make me a lot of money.
00:17:24 So Gamma for me is probably gonna go in the B tier.
00:17:27 ahead of anti-gravity, but behind Nano Banana,
00:17:31 because that tool definitely visualizes better.
00:17:33 I can do a lot that Gamma does with Nano Banana.
00:17:36 Next we have Revio, disclaimer,
00:17:38 one of my companies at Martell Ventures.
00:17:39 But here's why I'm unbiased,
00:17:41 because the product was built
00:17:43 way before I launched Martell Ventures for Martell Media,
00:17:47 because I needed a way to chat with you all.
00:17:49 It's impossible to do that at scale.
00:17:52 So I called my buddy Veev up and I said,
00:17:53 hey bro, I need to build this tool.
00:17:55 And after a year and a half of us scaling,
00:17:58 we decided to spin it out into a Martell Ventures product.
00:18:00 And it is the one when I think of the thing
00:18:03 that makes me the most money
00:18:04 because it keeps me on top of my relationships
00:18:06 and allows me to communicate value to people.
00:18:08 Now for your business, if you're doing sell by chat,
00:18:11 this is the product.
00:18:12 If you're not, probably won't work for you.
00:18:14 So for your business, I'm gonna put it in S tier,
00:18:17 but I'm gonna put it behind Gumloop
00:18:19 because Gumloop is horizontal all businesses
00:18:21 and Revio only makes sense for the right businesses,
00:18:23 but it will make you more money
00:18:25 than a gum loop out of the box
00:18:26 if you start chatting with everybody
00:18:28 that follows you on social media
00:18:29 because all those people are like opt-ins or leads.
00:18:32 Most businesses are starting to sell through the DMs
00:18:34 because people don't wanna schedule and get on a phone call.
00:18:37 They just wanna know the details.
00:18:38 So your team can just sit there and chat.
00:18:40 And if you do that at scale
00:18:42 with a lot of different social accounts,
00:18:43 Revio is the only platform that built as a sales tool,
00:18:47 not a social messaging tool.
00:18:48 Now, if you want my full AI tech stack,
00:18:51 Every tool I use in my businesses,
00:18:53 I put together a whole playbook on exactly that.
00:18:56 Just go to my Instagram, Dan Martell,
00:18:58 2LzMartell, and message me the word YouTube stack
00:19:01 and I'll send it over.
00:19:02 Next up, we've got Notion.
00:19:04 I believe that Notion is one of the best tools
00:19:07 to become the long-term memory of the AI.
00:19:11 And I think Notion's going down that path.
00:19:13 And everybody I know is using it
00:19:15 as the storage for the brain, for the AI.
00:19:18 It's got AI baked into it.
00:19:19 It has connectors for all the AI tools I mentioned.
00:19:21 like apex and businesses that default to saving things there and creating workflows and project
00:19:27 management in notion end up having an unfair advantage for activating new ais because all
00:19:32 the context data and memory is in that one place so regards to like leverage getting organized
00:19:38 probably the best tool having the information to activate other ais powerful but you're still
00:19:44 gonna have to do the work so it doesn't directly make you money but it can get you organized so
00:19:48 because I wanna help you make some money.
00:19:50 I just think it's behind Social Sweep
00:19:52 in regards to its ability to make you money.
00:19:56 But I use it a lot almost every day.
00:19:58 And last, we have Atlas, okay?
00:20:00 Another one of my portfolio companies.
00:20:02 Atlas is one of the most powerful voice platforms out there.
00:20:05 If you're a local business that has people calling,
00:20:07 I'm talking HVAC, plumbers, dental, car wash, anything,
00:20:10 especially if you're a freelancer, an independent person,
00:20:13 having Atlas sit there as a receptionist to talk to,
00:20:16 to schedule, to qualify, to answer their questions 0.65
00:20:19 so that you can be doing the work and getting paid
00:20:20 and somebody else can be taking the call,
00:20:22 that'll make you a lot of money.
00:20:23 So it's kind of funny because it's the most universal.
00:20:27 I use it all the time.
00:20:29 We use it for calling people for events.
00:20:31 We use it for inbound calls.
00:20:32 We use it for all of our companies.
00:20:33 I think it can make you the most money.
00:20:35 So I'm gonna put it in an A tier above granola
00:20:39 because Atlas as a tool will make you more money
00:20:41 than the rest of those in regards to like install it today.
00:20:45 If you're getting phone calls,
00:20:46 and have it deal with all the noise.
00:20:48 So these are the tools.
00:20:50 Awesome.
00:20:50 You know where they fit in my life
00:20:52 in regards to how it can help you make more money
00:20:54 and get more leverage.
00:20:55 It's all there.
00:20:56 However, the world of the future
00:20:58 is the world of separation
00:21:00 between the director and the doer.
00:21:02 And what I wanna encourage you to consider
00:21:04 is lean in to being a director,
00:21:06 lean in to being a designer,
00:21:08 lean in to being the co-creator,
00:21:09 what I call a human on the loop
00:21:11 and let the AI do the loop and you pay attention.
00:21:14 So I'm gonna challenge you
00:21:16 If you're using any of these AIs, 0.85
00:21:17 stay in the tool and see if it can complete that last step.
00:21:20 Don't copy and paste stuff somewhere else.
00:21:22 Say, hey, post it in Slack, send the email,
00:21:25 see if the tool can do it for you.
00:21:26 It probably can.
00:21:28 And that way you're actually getting your time back
00:21:30 and you're getting the most leverage.
00:21:32 So not about the tool,
00:21:33 more about being the director, not the doer.
00:21:35 Leave me a comment below and let me know which tool
00:21:38 you're gonna go dive into next.
00:21:39 And again, if you wanna see my entire AI tech stack,
00:21:42 every tool I use in my businesses,
00:21:44 just find me on Instagram
00:21:45 and message me the word YouTube stack
00:21:47 and I'll send it right over.
00:21:48 And next, if you wanna learn how I run a solo AI business
00:21:51 when we launch these new companies,
00:21:52 just click here and I'll see you on the other side.
00:21:54 I've got a confession to make.
00:21:57 I'm going back to Chad GPT.
00:21:58 If you haven't seen my April Fools video,
00:22:01 I made a mistake.
00:22:03 I thought Claude was the best, but it's not.
00:22:06 I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
00:22:07 Claude is the coolest thing in the world.
00:22:08 You tell me in the comments, what is Apple intelligence?
00:22:11 It was supposed to be Siri with a brain, 0.94
00:22:13 except it's brain dead. 0.78
00:22:14 I don't mean, no, just .
00:22:17 Somebody on the back end is still creating it.
00:22:19 And yes, this is still Dan.
00:22:20 I was about to pinch myself,
00:22:21 but I don't have a whole lot to pinch.
00:22:22 I mean, this is Dan.
00:22:24 You probably won't believe it.
00:22:25 You'll still write below that,
00:22:27 oh, nice AI, Dan.
00:22:28 I don't like to type
00:22:29 because I type about 80 words per minute,
00:22:31 but I talk about 250,000 words a minute.
00:22:34 No, I'm just kidding.
00:22:35 But I talk fast.
00:22:36 I started to feel my voice going.
00:22:37 I started way too excited.
00:22:40 Three, two, and one.
00:22:42 Here's the deal.
