Why I use it: I use Tweet Hunter to analyze my post as I write it with the TweetPredict™ tool, then schedule as many as possible based on my audience’s most active times on the platform.

I love the new GPT4-powered AI tools for developing and fine-tuning my content.

🛠️ ChatGPT

What it does: ChatGPT is an AI chatbot that can have natural conversations, answer questions, and perform tasks like a human assistant.

Why I use it: I use ChatGPT to develop and research content, including image analysis to create or refine new AI Art prompts and learn about visual content styles and techniques.

I use it as a copywriting tool to rephrase and simplify posts, summarize lengthy articles and documents, and brainstorm ideas.

Price / Plans: Free with GPT-3.5; Plus plans $20 per month with GPT-4, build or use custom GPTs, image upload & DALL•E3 (link)

🔍 Perplexity

What it does: Perplexity is an AI search engine that provides summarized answers from online sources with links to each. It now includes images and videos.

Perplexity Pro offers an AI Copilot to customize search results using models like GPT-4, Claude-2.1, or Gemini. I use the free web and mobile apps and browser extension to get info on any webpage or question.

Why I use it: I use the web and mobile apps and browser extension to get info on any webpage or question.

You can upload images and search the internet in real-time, so I use Perplexity in my browser and mobile app more than I use Google Search.

Price / Plans: Free for unlimited search with Perplexity’s default model, Perplexity Pro is $20 per month or $200 paid annually. (link)

📸 CleanShot X (Mac)

What it does: Screenshots, screen recordings, including OCR text capture and scrolling screen captures.

Why I use it: I use it for screenshots because I can annotate easily and screen recordings as gifs or mp4.

Price: One-time $29 payment for the App + Cloud Basic. Optional renewal at $19 per year for app updates, but not necessary to continue using the tool. (link)

⏺️ Screen Studio (Mac)

What it does: Screen recordings on MacOS

Why I use it: Screen Studio has a great automatic zoom feature and more video editing tools than CleanShot X, and I use it when I have a longer video with sections I need to cut.

Price: One-time $89 license fee for one MacOS device. (link)
