๐Ÿง  Top AI Tools for Brainstorming & Story Development
Since a few people have asked me what AI tools I use for brainstorming and story development, I wanted to share my go-to tools with the community for creative ideation, writing, and researchโ€”along with what each one does best (in my experience).
๐Ÿ”ฑ ๐‚๐Ž๐‘๐„ ๐’๐“๐€๐‚๐Š (๐—บ๐˜† ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜„)
  • ChatGPT โ€“ Best for structure, flow, and outlining
  • Claude โ€“ Intuitive with tone, nuance, and emotional resonance
  • Perplexity โ€“ Excellent for real-time research, citations, and surfacing overlooked details
These three cover 95% of my creative and strategic needsโ€”whether Iโ€™m building long-form content, video scripts, or concept frameworks.

  • Gemini โ€“ Occasionally surfaces unique phrasing, but often shallow; tends to regurgitate mainstream content
  • Grok โ€“ Can surprise you with left-field or unconventional insights, but very hit-or-miss
  • Copilot โ€“ Task-oriented; great for code or documentation, but not made for ideation

  • Jasper โ€“ Built on GPT-4 + Claude. Strong team but the UX didnโ€™t click.
  • Sudowrite โ€“ Started with OpenAI; now blends in their own model (Muse). Didnโ€™t vibe with the interface.
  • Pi โ€“ Runs on Inflectionโ€™s in-house model. Friendly, but too slow and chatty.
  • You.com โ€“ A hybrid of their own models and GPT-4. Good on paper; scattered in practice.
๐Ÿง  Note: Most of these tools use similar underlying models. The real differentiator is interface, speed, and workflow. If it doesnโ€™t amplify your process, itโ€™s probably not the right tool for you.

  • Ideate in ChatGPT
  • Expand/refine in Claude or Perplexity
  • Archive and organize in Notion as my System of Record

If youโ€™re using Taylanโ€™s QuestOS (Notion Command Center), these tools slot in perfectly during the Clarity โ†’ Create phases. I treat ChatGPT like a creative co-pilot, then migrate insights into my Quest vault for refinement or reuse.

Weโ€™re all still early in this game. These tools are barely two years old. So if youโ€™ve found a stack that clicksโ€”or if something unexpectedly worked better than you thoughtโ€”drop it in the comments. Letโ€™s swap notes. ๐Ÿ’ฌ๐Ÿง โš”๏ธ
