Don't Bloat Your Tech Stack! ⚠️

We use AI for everything except the things that actually matter.

Most users overcomplicate their AI stack.

Here are the tools we actually use daily at The AI Report:

🔧 Claude for complex problem-solving and strategy work.

💬 ChatGPT (Custom GPTs) for quick content ideation and research tasks.

⚡ Make for connecting systems that refuse to talk to each other.

The biggest mistake we see is tool collecting instead of tool using.

Companies buy 15 AI subscriptions and use none of them properly.

We picked three tools and mastered them completely.

This approach beats having access to everything but expertise in nothing.

Most of our AI value comes from these basic tools used consistently.

The magic isn't in the tools themselves.

It's in understanding exactly when and how to use each one.

Why this simple stack works:

✅ Claude handles anything requiring deep analysis or nuanced thinking.

✅ ChatGPT manages rapid-fire tasks and initial brainstorming with preset deterministics.

✅ Make.com automates the boring stuff so humans focus on strategy.

We've tested dozens of AI tools over the past year.

These three consistently deliver results while the shiny new tools collect digital dust.

Business owners don't need more AI tools -

they need clarity on which ones actually solve their specific problems without adding complexity to their already overwhelming tech stack.

Did you know the average enterprise has over 400 software subscriptions...let that sink in 🤯

Which AI tools have you actually stuck with versus the ones you tried once and forgot about?
