00:00:01.500 --> 00:00:07.993
Today we are talking about the top 50 AI tools you need for your AI tech stack.

00:00:07.993 --> 00:00:09.095
That's right.

00:00:09.095 --> 00:00:20.350
We're going to go into all the tools that marketers, founders and creators need to grow and automate processes in their business.

00:00:20.350 --> 00:00:32.811
You got to streamline and automate and streamline and automate to drive growth, and I'm going to go through today and share with you all 50 tools.

00:00:32.811 --> 00:00:43.762
I'm going to tell you what the use case is for them, what their website is and how much they cost Before we dive into the details of it.

00:00:43.762 --> 00:00:57.151
I do want to share with you some overall principles that I think are very important when we talk about these 50 tools, because if you just have a bunch of tools, what good is that?

00:00:57.151 --> 00:01:02.893
There is definitely a strategy that you need to have in using these tools together.

00:01:02.893 --> 00:01:05.448
So let's talk about that for a few minutes and then we'll jump into the list.

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.108
So why these tools matter?

00:01:09.108 --> 00:01:12.228
First of all, they're really easy to use.

00:01:12.228 --> 00:01:24.489
You don't have to be a programmer, you don't have to be a professional designer, video editor or have any technical skills to use these.

00:01:24.489 --> 00:01:37.867
These are designed for business users, and so, because I'm not a developer by training, I'm not a designer by training I don't know how to use all the advanced features of the Adobe Creative Suite.

00:01:37.867 --> 00:01:48.983
These tools are great for easily quickly creating all of the assets I need to automate business processes and grow my business.

00:01:48.983 --> 00:01:50.647
I think you're going to find the same.

00:01:50.647 --> 00:01:55.945
The second thing to note is almost all of these tools have a free version available.

00:01:55.945 --> 00:02:03.561
You can try it before you buy it, and I think that's really cool because before you go in and start spending money on things, you want to know if it's really going to work.

00:02:03.561 --> 00:02:08.552
And the third thing is none of these tools are really that expensive anyways.

00:02:08.552 --> 00:02:17.435
Most of them range from $10 to $50 a month for the premium versions of these tools.

00:02:17.435 --> 00:02:25.569
They're not going to break the bank, even if you need to use a bunch of them, but it's all really cost effective at this point.

00:02:25.569 --> 00:02:36.343
The cost may go up in the future they may not, we'll see but all of this is easy to use, free to try and pretty low cost, even if you need a bunch of these tools.

00:02:39.431 --> 00:02:49.563
The next key point is that you can seamlessly integrate and use these tools together, and that's where a lot of the value comes in for people.

00:02:49.563 --> 00:02:57.990
We'll talk a little bit about this as we get into these tools, but some people like to use some of the AI tools like ChatGPT and Cloud together.

00:02:57.990 --> 00:03:06.573
Some people like to use ChatGPT and Canva together to create visuals in Canva and the written content in ChatGPT.

00:03:06.573 --> 00:03:17.268
There's a lot of great combinations and that sort of blending and creativity is where a lot of the magic really happens, and we'll get into that here in just a few minutes.

00:03:18.389 --> 00:03:33.591
The one thing that I do that I think is very helpful is we're still in the very early days of this AI transformation is that you have to use multiple tools and multiple AI models.

00:03:33.591 --> 00:03:35.561
There's a couple reasons for that.

00:03:35.561 --> 00:03:42.782
It can be a little bit frustrating you had to pay for multiple tools if you're using them, but there's some good reasons to do it.

00:03:42.782 --> 00:03:44.703
It's not that much money, but there's some good reasons to do it.

00:03:44.703 --> 00:03:45.204
It's not that much money.

00:03:45.204 --> 00:03:48.105
The first reason is is you can benchmark them against each other.

00:03:48.105 --> 00:03:56.611
Some of them are better than others at specific tasks, and particularly as you get into ChatGPT.

00:03:56.611 --> 00:04:00.174
Most people are using the free version of ChatGPT.

00:04:00.174 --> 00:04:04.538
Once you get to the plus version, it's just $20 a month.

00:04:04.538 --> 00:04:12.145
There gets to be seven or eight different models that you can use that are slightly better at different things.

00:04:12.145 --> 00:04:15.229
The same thing is true with Google's Gemini models.

00:04:15.229 --> 00:04:21.791
They have a bunch of different models and you have to test and see which ones work best for certain tasks.

00:04:21.791 --> 00:04:24.428
So the benchmarking is very important.

00:04:24.428 --> 00:04:34.947
Also, accuracy they're trained in different ways so they'll come up with different answers to the same question potentially.

00:04:34.947 --> 00:04:42.750
So if you check things against all the different models, you'll get the best comprehensive answer and then you can optimize the results you get.

00:04:42.750 --> 00:04:45.581
So I think it makes sense to really use all of the top tools out.

00:04:45.581 --> 00:04:49.545
So I think it makes sense to really use all of the top tools out there and I'll share those with you.

00:04:50.982 --> 00:04:56.548
Let's talk a little bit about how to unlock massive productivity using these 50 tools.

00:04:56.548 --> 00:05:09.286
There's a couple of great use cases just right off the bat that go across a lot of these tools Content creation, marketing, automation for processes and marketing, sales and customer service.

00:05:09.286 --> 00:05:13.875
Software development is like magic.

00:05:13.875 --> 00:05:16.826
With AI, you don't have to be a coder anymore.

00:05:16.826 --> 00:05:18.951
You can build websites and even full apps.

00:05:18.951 --> 00:05:20.060
It's crazy.

00:05:20.060 --> 00:05:21.122
I'll show you some of these tools.

00:05:21.122 --> 00:05:26.733
Project management and collaboration tools are also at the next level.

00:05:27.220 --> 00:05:31.250
There's a lot of practical use cases for these tools in your business.

00:05:31.250 --> 00:05:43.730
One of the other biggest reasons is, if you're using these tools, you can have an unfair advantage over them and your competitors are not.

00:05:43.730 --> 00:05:52.656
You'll be able to work five, six, seven times faster than them and produce much better results, much higher quality.

00:05:52.656 --> 00:06:11.925
And so if you can innovate faster, if you can be more efficient and you can reduce your costs, you're going to beat the competition, and that's reason enough to figure out what tools make sense and how to automate almost every process in your business.

00:06:11.925 --> 00:06:18.444
It makes sense to look and say how does AI impact every process in your business?

00:06:18.444 --> 00:06:23.194
As I mentioned, all these tools are very affordable right now.

00:06:23.194 --> 00:06:27.322
You can start small Start by using ChatGPT.

00:06:27.322 --> 00:06:30.163
A lot of people are just doing that, the free version of it.

00:06:30.163 --> 00:06:31.182
That's great.

00:06:31.182 --> 00:06:53.574
But then scale and figure out how to automate and streamline those processes so that you can spend more time being strategic and growing your business instead of doing administrative tasks that the AI can do for you.

00:06:53.574 --> 00:06:58.415
And then, once you've made that leap maybe you're using a number of these tools.

00:06:58.415 --> 00:07:03.677
Then really look to optimize it and look how to integrate these tools together.

00:07:03.677 --> 00:07:07.644
That is the maturity model that you should be thinking about with these tools.

00:07:08.927 --> 00:07:27.966
I want to point out that there are ways to get all of these AI tools to start working together in Symfony like an orchestra, and some of the tools Zapier, makecom are great for doing that and we'll talk a little bit about that.

00:07:27.966 --> 00:07:31.670
But the real magic comes when you start using these tools together.

00:07:31.670 --> 00:07:38.461
Here's a couple best practices that apply for all of these tools and it's very important.

00:07:38.461 --> 00:07:44.742
If you don't do these things, you could try some of these tools and you say, oh, it didn't work or they're not good.

00:07:44.742 --> 00:07:52.254
But here's a couple pro tips that will make your testing of these tools very successful.

00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:00.081
You got to give clear direction.

00:08:00.081 --> 00:08:01.545
The real secret to AI is you're like a movie director.

00:08:01.545 --> 00:08:02.987
There's a lot of variables you have to manage.

00:08:02.987 --> 00:08:05.673
The better direction you give, the better results you get.

00:08:05.673 --> 00:08:07.716
You have to manage the better direction you give, the better results you get.

00:08:07.716 --> 00:08:13.822
Period Be specific with your expectations.

00:08:13.822 --> 00:08:14.622
I think that this is super helpful.

00:08:14.622 --> 00:08:21.141
If you want something to be delivered to you in a result, in a column format or a table, tell the AI what format you want the results in.

00:08:21.141 --> 00:08:22.906
Don't expect it to just guess.

00:08:22.906 --> 00:08:31.190
You can do that but just don't get frustrated if it doesn't give it to you perfectly how you expect it, iterate and refine.

00:08:31.190 --> 00:08:33.640
So this is very important.

00:08:34.302 --> 00:08:43.345
I never turn in as an executive work to other executives without having done multiple drafts of it.

00:08:43.345 --> 00:08:58.466
You never turn in a first draft, so you shouldn't expect that the first draft of anything AI generates is going to be great, and so what I often do is I generate something, then I'll go in and edit the prompt and tweak it further and get a better result.

00:08:58.466 --> 00:09:06.505
Sometimes, once you get the results, I will give it back the result and say I just generated this report.

00:09:06.505 --> 00:09:10.264
I need you to make this better, tell me how to make it better.

00:09:10.264 --> 00:09:15.585
And once you go through and iterate a few times, it will improve itself.

00:09:15.585 --> 00:09:24.423
And part of this has to do with the fact of there's limits on the inputs that you can put into prompts and there's limits on the outputs.

00:09:24.423 --> 00:09:32.416
But if you give it the right context, it'll come back and say, oh, you should add these three things that it didn't put in the first version because it didn't have room.

00:09:32.416 --> 00:09:36.965
But in a follow up prompt it'll give it to you and then you can add it.

00:09:36.965 --> 00:09:40.369
So iterate and refine.

00:09:40.369 --> 00:09:43.107
That's one of the keys to winning.

00:09:43.107 --> 00:09:45.384
And then human AI collaboration.

00:09:45.384 --> 00:09:52.532
I don't think that we're going to get to the point anywhere in the near future where humans shouldn't be in the loop.

00:09:52.532 --> 00:10:11.115
It's probably not going to give you 100% perfect results, but if it can generate 80 or 90% of the result you need and then you do a couple of drafts, you're going to get to 100% really quickly and so if you put these principles against these tools, you'll have a lot of success.

00:10:13.783 --> 00:10:18.352
The other main reason to really use these AI tools is to drive growth.

00:10:18.352 --> 00:10:21.187
It's a force multiplier.

00:10:21.187 --> 00:10:25.410
You can do the work of multiple people if you use these tools.

00:10:25.410 --> 00:10:33.594
There's many tasks at marketing, as a founder, as an executive, that I can do literally five times faster.

00:10:33.594 --> 00:10:41.320
And if you can move faster, you can grow faster times faster.

00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:42.361
And if you can move faster, you can grow faster.

00:10:42.361 --> 00:10:43.725
That's the real reason to be looking at these innovative tools.

00:10:43.725 --> 00:10:52.322
They are going to disrupt every process across sales, marketing, customer success in your business they will.

00:10:54.104 --> 00:11:09.256
I think the biggest hurdle that a lot of people have in embracing different AI tools is that they feel the tools are not there yet or that the AI tools will not impact a certain work process that they're working on.

00:11:09.256 --> 00:11:14.328
And the reality is, with the billions of dollars being invested in AI.

00:11:14.328 --> 00:11:17.234
It's going to affect everything.

00:11:17.234 --> 00:11:21.322
So just embrace it and figure out how to be a master at it.

00:11:21.322 --> 00:11:36.664
That's the best way to have complete job security is to become a master of it, and then you can be the one giving the direction, overseeing it, innovating and it's a lot more fun than doing the boring administrative work anyways.

00:11:38.128 --> 00:11:39.671
Okay, let's get into it.

00:11:39.671 --> 00:11:41.134
Now here's the real fun.

00:11:41.134 --> 00:11:45.280
We're going to go through all 50 of these AI tools.

00:11:45.280 --> 00:12:00.139
I broke them into a number of categories just so it doesn't seem like a huge barrage of tools to look at, because I think they do have specific use cases and functions tools to look at because I think they do have specific use cases and functions.

00:12:00.139 --> 00:12:08.309
So the first group is the actual large language models to use, and many of you are likely using ChatGPT getting started getting going.

00:12:08.330 --> 00:12:37.850
There is probably 95% of people are still using the free version of ChatGPT, which is great that people are getting going on that, but there's a $20 a month version, the plus version, and there's a $200 a month version, and the paid versions are much better than the free version and you get access to a lot more innovation, including things like GPTs, which allow you to customize and optimize your work further.

00:12:37.850 --> 00:12:40.768
You can create your own custom GPTs.

00:12:40.768 --> 00:12:48.173
Then there's other tools like the Sora, the video AI tool you get access to with the paid versions.

00:12:48.173 --> 00:12:50.206
You get access to projects.

00:12:50.206 --> 00:12:59.573
You get access to the operator AI agent that will complete scheduled tasks for you at the top version.

00:12:59.573 --> 00:13:10.024
In the pro version that's $200 a month, and OpenAI just released a deep research model that's available in the $200 a month plan.

00:13:10.024 --> 00:13:13.388
So you can work your way up to it.

00:13:13.388 --> 00:13:21.706
But I would say 95% of people are still using the free version and not really seeing the true magic of even ChatGPT.

00:13:21.706 --> 00:13:27.144
So you should use it and consider, at the right time, upgrading to the versions that you need.

00:13:28.605 --> 00:13:34.562
The other big models are Claude, which is by the company Anthropic.

00:13:34.562 --> 00:13:41.647
Amazon is putting $100 billion behind this, and so it's pretty good.

00:13:41.647 --> 00:13:52.013
A lot of people would say that Claude writes more naturally and writes better code for software than ChatGPT.

00:13:52.013 --> 00:13:54.245
It's sort of an arms race.

00:13:54.245 --> 00:14:01.052
They keep making it better and then the other one comes out with a new model, but the reality is is that they don't give the same answers.

00:14:01.052 --> 00:14:15.270
So benchmarking Claude against ChatGPT, figuring out which tasks are better for each model, it makes sense you can sign up for $20 a month for Claude and get the paid version there.

00:14:15.270 --> 00:14:17.605
They have a great project management tool.

00:14:17.605 --> 00:14:24.090
One of the things an example Claude is better at is it's better at doing things like infographics than ChatGPT.

00:14:24.090 --> 00:14:29.150
So there's reasons to be looking at each of these.

00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:30.763
Google has been catching up.

00:14:30.763 --> 00:14:32.590
Gemini is their offering.

00:14:32.590 --> 00:14:38.769
They are on version two of that and they have a deep research offering.

00:14:38.769 --> 00:14:49.215
They have a number of really cool AI tools in the Google Advanced Studio, which is part of Gemini.

00:14:49.215 --> 00:14:52.909
You can get onto it for $20 a month.

00:14:52.909 --> 00:14:59.261
Their pricing structure gets pretty complicated If you use the Google workspace for your business.

00:14:59.261 --> 00:15:12.793
There's different combinations you can look at there, but a lot of the tools you can get for $20 a month and the deep research model they have is very interesting.

00:15:12.793 --> 00:15:23.614
You give it one prompt it'll go, do 100 queries and write an analyst report with you that looks like it was written by Forrester or Gartner.

00:15:23.614 --> 00:15:24.735
It's pretty awesome.

00:15:25.740 --> 00:15:34.475
And so again, I like to benchmark Gemini against Claude, against ChatGBT, and see which gives me the best answer.

00:15:34.475 --> 00:15:37.368
And then Perplexity is slightly different.

00:15:37.368 --> 00:15:40.184
It's a view of the search engine.

00:15:40.184 --> 00:15:46.467
So instead of querying Google for an answer, like people have for the last 25 years.

00:15:46.467 --> 00:15:53.414
You can ask perplexity a question and instead of sorting through a million links to try to find the answer, it just tells you the answer.

00:15:53.414 --> 00:15:57.283
It's like why don't you just tell me the answer instead of making me look for it?

00:15:57.283 --> 00:16:01.770
And a lot of people really prefer that experience.

00:16:01.770 --> 00:16:06.183
Not a big shocker, but each of these tools 20 bucks a month.

00:16:06.183 --> 00:16:10.841
For 80 bucks you can be using all four of them and the world is at your fingertips.

00:16:12.323 --> 00:16:18.474
So the workflow, automation and integration I mentioned, there's really these three tools to look at.

00:16:18.474 --> 00:16:23.611
You can look at makecom, zapier and N8n.

00:16:23.611 --> 00:16:28.323
All of these allow you to connect all of the different AI tools I'm talking about today.

00:16:28.323 --> 00:16:31.631
Together you can create workflows, you can send data between them.

00:16:31.631 --> 00:16:33.863
I would say, try them out.

00:16:33.863 --> 00:16:36.768
Zapier has been around for a long time.

00:16:36.768 --> 00:16:47.513
Makecom is much cheaper in my view and it gives you a canvas where you can easily chart out what you're trying to do.

00:16:47.513 --> 00:16:49.802
So that's my choice in this group.

00:16:49.802 --> 00:16:54.253
I think N8n is a newer player and they have some interesting stuff.

00:16:54.253 --> 00:16:55.482
So have a look at these.

00:16:55.523 --> 00:17:00.173
But it's really important to say how can we start using this stuff together instead of in silos?

00:17:00.173 --> 00:17:01.844
I think that's very helpful.

00:17:01.844 --> 00:17:04.771
As we move on to talking about what can agents do.

00:17:04.771 --> 00:17:10.150
Agents are really multiple AI tools working together to accomplish a task for you.

00:17:10.150 --> 00:17:14.509
All right, ai, productivity and collaboration tools.

00:17:14.509 --> 00:17:22.826
I have seven of them listed here, so there's some really awesome stuff that you can do with these tools.

00:17:22.826 --> 00:17:28.761
So Lindy AI is a great tool if you need an executive assistant.

00:17:28.761 --> 00:17:41.403
It can do everything that executive assistants do in the office for you, from taking the notes to preparing your schedule for the day to scheduling meetings for you.

00:17:41.403 --> 00:17:46.253
It really has some powerful capabilities.

00:17:46.253 --> 00:17:51.905
So when you think about how much administrative roles cost and how much it costs, it's a drop in the bucket.

00:17:51.905 --> 00:17:55.609
How much it costs, it's a drop in the bucket.

00:17:55.609 --> 00:18:03.544
So have a look at Lindy for the personal assistant, executive assistant type roles.

00:18:03.564 --> 00:18:05.028
I think creating great images.

00:18:05.028 --> 00:18:10.653
You just need that for a lot of content and marketing work.

00:18:10.653 --> 00:18:23.231
I use falai, which will give you images from multiple image models, including Flux, which is one of the best AI image generation models out there today.

00:18:23.231 --> 00:18:32.607
There's Julius AI, which is a data analyst capability, so that's what the use case is.

00:18:32.607 --> 00:18:35.269
You can have AI act as your data analyst.

00:18:35.269 --> 00:18:37.007
That's a pretty awesome thing.

00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:39.769
No one loves like sitting there going through data for hours.

00:18:39.769 --> 00:18:41.826
That's not something people love.

00:18:41.826 --> 00:19:01.734
I can't tell you how many hours of my life I have lost to creating charts and graphs for presentations and PowerPoints, so Graphyapp is a great solution for creating the graphs and business images you need.

00:19:01.734 --> 00:19:07.511
I created this presentation using Gammaapp.

00:19:07.511 --> 00:19:21.503
I have wasted thousands of hours of my career creating PowerPoint presentations and Gammaapp just creates presentations for you and then you can customize it a little bit as you need it.

00:19:21.503 --> 00:19:24.432
It's like PowerPoints always should have been.

00:19:24.432 --> 00:19:30.411
So just use Gamma app for all of your presentations going forward.

00:19:30.411 --> 00:19:39.394
There's no reason to have to be sitting there manually creating presentations and PowerPoint or Google Slides.

00:19:39.394 --> 00:19:43.625
You can create your own themes, you can pick your own images, you can pick your own colors.

00:19:43.625 --> 00:19:46.688
They have great templates and it just does it.

00:19:46.688 --> 00:19:47.490
It's like magic.

00:19:47.490 --> 00:19:51.349
So that's a great way to get many, many hours back in your life.

00:19:52.340 --> 00:20:13.075
If you don't use a tool like Fireflies or Otter to take all of your meeting notes already, it's a huge productivity boost because what you can do is you can do things like summarize all of your meeting notes for the entire day If you have 10 meetings in a day, like me, or if you have 50 meetings in a week.

00:20:13.075 --> 00:20:18.767
You can summarize all of the meetings for the week and look across the action items for all of the meetings for the week.

00:20:18.767 --> 00:20:35.397
There's some really powerful things that you can do there to be more productive, things that, in a lot of cases, people would have asked their executive assistants or colleagues to help them stay organized with, and you don't need that anymore.

00:20:35.397 --> 00:20:36.661
Just use tools like that.

00:20:36.661 --> 00:20:38.030
I use Fireflies, it's great.

00:20:38.030 --> 00:20:39.354
I think Otter is great.

00:20:39.354 --> 00:20:40.436
There's a number of those tools.

00:20:40.436 --> 00:20:47.382
I also just want to call out that one of the other advanced tools within ChatGPT is our data analysis tools.

00:20:47.382 --> 00:21:03.258
They are actually very strong, so, similar to the other tool, julius AI, for being your data analyst, I do think that having AI do your data analysis for you is huge.

00:21:04.438 --> 00:21:09.441
Let's talk about AI video creation and editing.

00:21:09.441 --> 00:21:11.522
I have some really great tools here.

00:21:11.522 --> 00:21:13.503
There's nine video tools.

00:21:13.503 --> 00:21:31.768
I think video and AI is one of the next big frontiers and, visually, when you think about TikTok and Instagram Reels, people are really excited about this aspect of it, and so these are nine really great tools to look at.

00:21:31.768 --> 00:22:00.403
Even if you're not a professional videographer or professional editor of videos, you can now use these tools to create some really great videos, and it's everything from using a tool like HeyGen to create a digital twin of yourself and create product videos where you just put in the script and then your avatar is reading the script in your own voice, just like you would if you were trying to perfectly read a script.

00:22:00.403 --> 00:22:11.496
There are tools where you can take an image and make it into a video, and there are tools that will create entire characters for you.

00:22:11.496 --> 00:22:23.368
So there's a broad spectrum of things that you can do with these video AI tools that can help you create great video content, tell great stories.

00:22:23.913 --> 00:22:29.155
You can be a super creator using a lot of these tools, and they're not expensive.

00:22:29.155 --> 00:22:30.318
They're not hard to use.

00:22:30.318 --> 00:22:34.096
You don't have to learn how to be a professional video person.

00:22:34.096 --> 00:22:39.773
You just need to spend a little bit of time, come up with a great idea and then work on a proof of concept.

00:22:39.773 --> 00:22:40.836
It's simple.

00:22:40.836 --> 00:22:41.537
On a proof of concept.

00:22:41.537 --> 00:22:43.740
It's simple Audio and music creation.

00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:46.044
This is something that's super fun.

00:22:46.044 --> 00:23:00.042
So 11 Labs is a great AI solution where, if you upload just two hours of your voice talking, like I am in this episode, it will clone your voice for you.

00:23:00.042 --> 00:23:21.278
It will sound so realistic that your best friends and people in your family won't even know that it's not you, and so if you want to produce a lot more content and you don't want to have to perfectly read the script and spend hours doing second, third, fourth, fifth takes, you can create great audio content using 11 Labs.

00:23:21.758 --> 00:23:24.682
Also, think about things like audiobooks.

00:23:24.682 --> 00:23:33.962
If you're an author and you want to do your own audiobook, then 11 Labs can be a great solution for you to do something like that.

00:23:33.962 --> 00:23:41.176
Suno AI you can make your own songs about anything you can say.

00:23:41.176 --> 00:23:56.811
I want to create a 1990s rap song about AI and the style of Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg, and it'll do it for you and it'll be pretty good, and you can keep experimenting with it to get it just how you want it.

00:23:56.811 --> 00:24:10.559
But I think these music tools can enhance the video files and the audio projects that we're working on and it is a really fun, great tool.

00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:20.744
And there are other tools like Murph AI, which you can use to quite simply do voiceovers.

00:24:20.744 --> 00:24:34.951
So think about the Ken Burns documentary right, it's just still images with Ken Burns talking and so you can do some really cool, creative projects to tell your story using these tools.

00:24:36.173 --> 00:24:42.762
Let's talk about tools for marketers and sales and go-to-market.

00:24:42.762 --> 00:24:43.223
Overall.

00:24:43.223 --> 00:24:44.546
There's a couple of really great tools here.

00:24:44.546 --> 00:24:46.936
So the first one is Clay.

00:24:46.936 --> 00:24:56.096
So they use AI to help you build your database of people that you want to go out to the people in your audience.

00:24:56.096 --> 00:25:05.500
So it's AI-powered go-to-market data and engagement, and I think that they have some really cool tools in that tool set.

00:25:05.500 --> 00:25:30.963
And then you have tools like Chatbase and Voiceflow and Bland AI, and these tools are working towards becoming the new AI SDR the person who sets appointments, qualifies prospects, just sets up meetings but actually doesn't do a lot of selling in the traditional B2B model.

00:25:30.963 --> 00:25:38.285
These tools are improving rapidly and they are very low cost.

00:25:38.349 --> 00:26:03.196
You can add agents like this to your website, agents like this to your website, and when people want information at 11 o'clock at night, the AI agent can give them the information that they need, and then they can schedule a time to talk to the people at your company the sales reps to get more information, and so there's no more fill out a form and someone will get back to you three weeks from now.

00:26:03.196 --> 00:26:06.963
It's I want to get the information I want right now.

00:26:06.963 --> 00:26:18.002
I want to see if this is the right fit for me, and if it is, then I'm willing to engage and talk to somebody, and so I think these tools can help companies be massively more efficient.

00:26:18.002 --> 00:26:25.661
You don't have to throttle the growth of your business based on how many appointment centers you have on staff.

00:26:25.661 --> 00:26:28.116
That's just not where we're at anymore.

00:26:29.010 --> 00:26:34.096
This is one of my favorite parts of the presentation AI builder and development tools.

00:26:34.096 --> 00:26:36.678
So this is like magic.

00:26:36.678 --> 00:26:50.622
You can now chat just like you can with ChatGPT and give these developer tools direction and say I want you to build me a website, I want you to build me an app, and here's what I want you to do.

00:26:50.622 --> 00:27:04.255
And you can just talk to it like you would a developer and say build me a homepage, build me a resources page for my website, add this to the website, change this on the website and just give it clear direction.

00:27:04.255 --> 00:27:06.540
And these tools just do that.

00:27:07.664 --> 00:27:08.487
But it goes even further.

00:27:08.487 --> 00:27:11.334
You can build an entire web application.

00:27:11.334 --> 00:27:13.920
You can put a survey on the website.

00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:16.090
You can link it to other tools like Calendly.

00:27:16.090 --> 00:27:18.574
You can integrate Stripe e-commerce.

00:27:18.574 --> 00:27:22.499
You can integrate it with AI chatbots on the website.

00:27:22.878 --> 00:27:34.663
You can build your own app that people log into and use and subscribe to, and this is great for building proof of concepts to see hey, I have this idea for a startup.

00:27:34.663 --> 00:27:47.111
Instead of spending millions of dollars and years of your life to get to a working prototype, you can have a working prototype up in hours or days for less than a couple hundred dollars.

00:27:47.111 --> 00:27:52.221
That changes everything and these tools are really good.

00:27:52.221 --> 00:27:56.155
Like at one side of the screen you type in a text command.

00:27:56.155 --> 00:27:59.884
On the other side of the screen, you see it, the code scrolling.

00:27:59.884 --> 00:28:02.373
It's mind-blowing.

00:28:02.373 --> 00:28:11.740
It's like you can become a super developer now and I've used Replit to build entire websites in less than a few hours.

00:28:11.740 --> 00:28:23.313
This is much different than website tools like GoDaddy or Squarespace or Wix that I've used in the past that have like templates that look kind of cheesy.

00:28:23.313 --> 00:28:32.425
You can build custom websites with your direction using these tools like Replit, cursor, lovable.

00:28:32.425 --> 00:28:35.255
So try out these tools.

00:28:35.836 --> 00:28:37.721
I think this is the way development is going.

00:28:37.721 --> 00:28:43.502
I don't think going forward, people are going to be learning how to do coding.

00:28:43.502 --> 00:28:45.778
I think people are going to rely on these tools.

00:28:45.778 --> 00:29:12.269
The one other note before I move on is that I think in the model going forward, the right way to think about this is that ChatGPT, claude or Gemini whichever is your choice is going is your product manager that writes the product requirements for a website or an app and you create those requirements.

00:29:12.269 --> 00:29:27.194
You create the content in ChatGPT and then you give it to a tool like Replit and you say these are the requirements for the website or the app I want you to build and this is the content that you generated in ChatGPT.

00:29:27.194 --> 00:29:30.785
And this is the content that you generated in ChatGPT.

00:29:35.505 --> 00:29:37.724
So it becomes very powerful to use ChatGPT with a tool like Replit to create an entire application.

00:29:37.724 --> 00:29:46.135
It reduces the amount of time it takes to create a website or an application by 95%.

00:29:46.135 --> 00:29:48.910
It's amazing.

00:29:48.910 --> 00:29:49.771
It's not perfect.

00:29:49.771 --> 00:29:58.251
You will often have to tell these tools to fix an error, to fix an error multiple times and eventually it'll fix it.

00:29:58.251 --> 00:30:08.296
So it's not magical perfect, but it's really great compared to having to get an entire team of product managers.

00:30:08.296 --> 00:30:18.981
Really great compared to having to get an entire team of product managers, graphic designers, ux experience people, marketing people, developers, and get them to all work together.

00:30:18.981 --> 00:30:31.961
It could take months or years and maybe you still don't even get what you want, whereas if you just use the tools in unison, like ChatGPT and Replit, for example, and some of the other image creation tools.

00:30:31.961 --> 00:30:40.234
You can create beautiful, amazing websites and apps, and so I think this is a game changer.

00:30:40.234 --> 00:30:53.069
This changes everything in terms of how fast things can get published on the Internet, of how fast things can get published on the internet, and this is another reason that we're all super creators.

00:30:53.069 --> 00:30:59.954
Now, if we're leveraging these tools, punching over our weight and having an unfair advantage over the competition.

00:30:59.954 --> 00:31:04.394
Okay, ai creator tools.

00:31:04.394 --> 00:31:08.144
There's 200 million creators out there in the world and some of these creator tools are really great.

00:31:08.144 --> 00:31:09.667
You creators out there in the world and some of these creator tools are really great.

00:31:10.211 --> 00:31:11.916
You're familiar with Canva likely.

00:31:11.916 --> 00:31:17.798
It's great for generating anything from YouTube thumbnails to the images you need for your marketing assets.

00:31:17.798 --> 00:31:26.013
I use Descript to record episodes like this, to edit episodes like this.

00:31:26.013 --> 00:31:38.319
It has great AI functionality that makes it so fast and so easy to edit videos and audio files, and you don't have to be a professional video editor.

00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:40.689
It does so many great things.

00:31:40.689 --> 00:31:42.752
It even gives you studio quality sound.

00:31:42.752 --> 00:31:55.965
If you don't have the right microphone or the right equipment at that moment in time, I think there's a lot of really great graphics tools like Secta AI is the one I use for AI headshots.

00:31:55.965 --> 00:32:03.545
You need to have great AI headshots for your online profiles and it does a great job with that.

00:32:04.886 --> 00:32:16.101
There are great image tools like Midjourney and you can create professional quality product images using tools like Midjourney.

00:32:16.101 --> 00:32:25.996
If you give it the right prompt, you can create something that is better than a professional photographer shot for you for your product.

00:32:25.996 --> 00:32:33.048
I've seen people doing food photography and they put in a very long prompt that's five, six paragraphs.

00:32:33.048 --> 00:32:45.019
You know it's even giving the camera settings for what the professional photographer would set and you can get pictures of food that are created by the AI.

00:32:45.019 --> 00:32:47.490
That looks so good.

00:32:47.490 --> 00:32:52.952
I'm like I would eat all of that and I give it a hundred out of 10.

00:32:52.952 --> 00:33:12.169
It looks so good and I think that that's the power of these creator tools is that they can make your story come to life, and the intersection is is that you can actually teach ChatGPT to help you write the prompts for tools like MidJourney.

00:33:12.169 --> 00:33:18.890
You can load in a document that says to ChatGPT here's how to give MidJourney prompts.

00:33:18.890 --> 00:33:33.000
Now I want you to create the best prompt for me for this image and it will actually generate a 10 paragraph prompt that will give you the best image you could ever imagine out of a tool like Midjourney.

00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:39.117
So again, the intersection of these tools is really where a lot of the magic happens.

00:33:40.326 --> 00:33:43.875
Since you're listening to this, you know that I'm very into podcasting.

00:33:43.875 --> 00:33:47.234
I'm a big fan of Buzzsprout.

00:33:47.234 --> 00:34:06.657
That's where I host my podcast and they have great AI tools built into their solution Everything from leveling the sound to helping you create great show notes and social media posts and blog posts for each podcast episode.

00:34:06.657 --> 00:34:18.849
But I think they have the best transcripts and if you have really great transcripts, then you can leverage those transcripts to create other content using the AI.

00:34:18.849 --> 00:34:33.088
You can take the transcript and say, write a really great content piece referencing this interview transcript, and I would say Buzzsprout has the best AI transcripts that I've seen.

00:34:34.210 --> 00:34:40.887
I also am a huge fan of the Google Notebook LM tool.

00:34:40.887 --> 00:34:42.750
It's very interesting.

00:34:42.750 --> 00:35:10.833
What you can do is you can upload a hundred page or multi-hundred page document or a book and you upload that into google notebook lm and it will create, using ai hosts a man and a woman a five to ten minute episode that gives a summary of whatever document you uploaded, and they do it in a fun and creative way.

00:35:10.833 --> 00:35:12.795
They often tell jokes.

00:35:12.795 --> 00:35:15.097
The hosts sound like real people.

00:35:15.097 --> 00:35:24.851
They even add human interrupt language transition words so it doesn't sound like they're AI bots.

00:35:24.851 --> 00:35:26.440
They sound like real humans with personalities.

00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:41.556
And they recently added a new feature to Google Notebook LM where you can interrupt and ask the host questions if you're listening to it in the Google Notebook LM tool and it's hilarious because the host will get a little bit annoyed when you interrupt.

00:35:41.556 --> 00:35:42.527
They're like I was just getting to.

00:35:42.527 --> 00:35:42.809
That.

00:35:42.809 --> 00:35:43.570
It's too much.

00:35:43.570 --> 00:35:45.056
It's great.

00:35:45.056 --> 00:35:46.027
It's great, it's fantastic.

00:35:46.027 --> 00:35:55.615
So Google Notebook LM is a great way to get a summary cliff notes, if you will of just about anything in the world.

00:35:55.615 --> 00:36:09.114
It's amazing, and you can even publish those summary episodes if you wanted and share them with friends, and I think that that's amazing and really fun.

00:36:10.717 --> 00:36:16.333
All right, the last thing I want to mention, tool number 50, is agentai.

00:36:16.333 --> 00:36:36.958
It's by the co-founder of HubSpot and he has this site that he's created that has hundreds of AI agents on it which will go out and complete specific tasks for you and at the moment, because it's in beta, a lot of these agents are free.

00:36:36.958 --> 00:36:55.019
So, for example, one of the ones on their website is company research and you can put in a company name and it'll go hit a bunch of different sites and it will tell you all the information you want to know about a particular company.

00:36:55.019 --> 00:36:55.681
So that's it.

00:36:55.681 --> 00:37:00.976
That's my list of the 50 tools you should consider for your AI tech stack.

00:37:01.436 --> 00:37:02.358
Try these tools out.

00:37:02.358 --> 00:37:05.293
The reason I highlighted these 50 is not because they're the only 50.

00:37:05.293 --> 00:37:07.793
It's because these are the 50 that I like.

00:37:07.793 --> 00:37:09.027
These are the 50 I use.

00:37:09.027 --> 00:37:11.572
These are the 50 I think that are super helpful.

00:37:11.572 --> 00:37:14.278
Again, most of them have free trials.

00:37:14.278 --> 00:37:15.606
They're not expensive.

00:37:15.606 --> 00:37:17.451
The magic comes when you use them together.

00:37:17.451 --> 00:37:26.157
So I encourage you all to get out there, automate and streamline your business and grow your business using these AI tools.
