Apps I like

  1. Voice input: Wispr Flow. I use voice input dozens of times per day. To see how, watch this two-minute screencast.

  2. Shortcuts: I've released BetterChat, which adds keyboard shortcuts to ChatGPT.

  3. Call transcription: Granola for video calls, and the Google Pixel "Recorder" app for in-person meetings. Granola summaries are fine, but o3 does it better, so I often copy-paste.

  4. ChatGPT o3: Currently the best model for most of my purposes. I routinely send identical prompts to o3, Claude 4 Opus, Gemini 2.5 Pro and Grok 4 Heavy. At least two-thirds of the time, o3 wins. But it's still worth sending important stuff to several models.

Good to know

  1. Web search: ChatGPT o3 has much better web search than Claude 4 Opus and Gemini 2.5 Pro.

  2. Google Sheets: There's an =AI() function. E.g. =AI("categorise sentiment as positive or negative", A2). Docs here.

  3. Data analysis: clean CSVs first and use o3 or Gemini. Do not use Claude.

Try this

  1. Context: Make an "about me" doc, to tell the AI who you are. This enables much better chats about planning, personal challenges, life dreams, and much else. ⭐

  2. Nutrition: Low-effort diet tracking: take a photo, get the numbers (and some great advice).

  3. Vibe-coding: Make websites better with a personal browser extension.

  4. Voice input: Mentioned above. But seriously: if you haven't tried it recently, do it now. ⭐

Fun

  1. Suno AI: Glue yourself to the Autobahn.
