From Research to Final Draft—The Best AI Tools for Writing
I've always used a specially created custom GPTs for all my writing. It was smart, fast and the writing was good—but not great for long-form content. I had tried Claude for editing, but I had never created a Project and gone fully end-to-end with it.
For my latest article in the We 💙 AI series in Substack, AI’s Sacred Purpose, I wanted to see what would happen if I used the best AI tool for each step of the process—instead of forcing one tool to do everything. And it blew my mind.
Here’s the AI writing stack that I used:
🔍 Perplexity – Excellent research with all the linked citations (no hallucinations!)
📚 Notebook LM – Google’s AI research assistant for pulling and organizing insights from your research
📝 ChatGPT (Custom GPTs) – For brainstorming, outlining, and structuring the content
✍️ Claude – The best AI writer & editor, refining my drafts to perfection
🎨 MidJourney – AI-generated images to bring the essay to life
The result? A writing process that was faster, smoother, and more fun that I've ever had writing before.
This was more than just an experiment.
This was a glimpse into the future of work - where we're all doing what we're good at, and love to do - and AI does the rest.
I put together a video walking through exactly how I used each tool and why this “best-of-breed” approach is a game-changer for content creation.
Don’t settle for a single “good enough” AI tool—stack the best, and you’ll never go back.
