Which AI tools do the blog articles cover?

The blog follows the same toolset as the book. Claude is the primary assistant, and other tools come in where they fit a specific job.

The main tools

• Claude: the core of most articles, used for planning, visual artifacts, meeting processing, stakeholder simulation, and reporting.
• Google Gemini: used for deep research and analyzing large amounts of material, as part of a multi-AI approach.
• ChatGPT: referenced for comparison and as an alternative general assistant.
• Claude Code and VS Code: a local command center for working with project files, covered in the Advanced category.
• Python scripts and MCP servers: automation and integrations, also in the Advanced category. AI writes most of the code, which is why the book calls these scripts "disposable software".
• Meeting transcription tools such as Otter.ai or Fireflies.ai, as a source of meeting notes for AI to process.

The blog is independently written and isn't affiliated with or sponsored by any of these companies.
