To cut to the chase, check out everything in green. To gain a vast amount of valuable knowledge... read ALL the things!
AI changes week to week so as of June 27, 2025, here's the latest. For up to date info, sign up for my newsletter and you won't trail behind the latest juicy news.
I'm also sharing my personal tech stack. What the heck is a tech stack?
Its the technical crap you stack on top of each other to get amazing results for your specific niche/ space. (I think of it as ooey-gooey pancakes. Stacks nicely and all put together, its magic)
If you've got a bit of neurodivergence in you (like ADHD which it seems I have in spades), you'll also find some of my top picks helpful to you for that. I'll write a whole post on that later. But for now, onward to the latest and greatest!

AI Conversational Assistants
Claude (Anthropic) ⭐ Personal Favorite
I use Claude daily! Be sure to tell it you want the data sourced though (just like with ChatGPT who's a known liar.) Claude is much better but I do have it source all info and data. You'll want to cross reference too if the stats matter to you! I was chatting with my daughter over dinner last night with a lively AI conversation. She stated that she had ChatGPT source the data then she checked it for accuracy and it was incorrect. So she called out ChatGPT and it just said oh you're right, sorry) Mama Mia, what is going on here!

Back to Claude...
Claude 3.7 is arguably the best AI for coding and deep analysis, ideal for developers, analysts, and professionals who need reliable logic and context tracking. Claude offers exceptional reasoning capabilities and maintains context better than most competitors.
ChatGPT ⭐ Personal Favorite (But only for creativity like photo fun/ visual brainstorming/ marketing ideas)
OpenAI is currently in the AI lead with their new top model (o1-pro), making ChatGPT a versatile powerhouse for everyday tasks. ChatGPT with GPT-4.5 remains the reliable all-round assistant—great for general knowledge, conversation, formatting, and easy API integration.
