The stack
What I actually use
This isn’t a theoretical list of "top AI tools." This is my actual daily stack — the tools and cheat codes I use to punch above my weight and do the work of a small agency by myself.
- Gemini ProResearch, deep dives, and thinking through a topic before I write a single line of code
- Nano BananaImage generation
- Claude SonnetThe main coding workhorse — core logic, architecture
- Claude OpusHeavy artillery — full project audits, closing security holes, final review before shipping
- PlaywrightWeb scraping and browser automation
- VS Code (+ GPT plugged in)Where the actual work happens
This list changes. When it does, it changes here first.
