If you had to limit your toolkit to five AI tools, which ones would you choose?
JAKrea, Weavy, Figma, ChatGPT and After Effects all play a part in how I work, from coming up with ideas to building and animating them.

Can you give an example of multiple tools that generate similar outputs, but serve entirely different use cases?
JAKling and Veo3 feel cinematic and handle complex prompts with impressive precision – great for narrative or high-production use. Runway Gen-4 delivers consistent imagery and faster results – ideal for iterative creative workflows. Pika and Highsfield are snappier and more playful – better suited for social-first content.

Post-production:
- Frame.io, for color grading
- Jira, even though I’m more of a basic user
- Google Workspace is everywhere, of course
- Miro for mapping ideas
- Figma to check designs or leave feedback
- Looker for reporting
- Slack for everything
- Zoom — hours each day
- ChatGPT for quick writing and research tasks
- Claude — when I need help with copy
- Perplexity for exploring topics or trends
- Notes app — full of half-formed ideas I’ll organize later; it’s like my digital scratchpad
And to stay on top of things, nothing beats my Moleskine and a pen. Paper to-do lists still work better for me than any productivity app.

Since clients and tasks are always changing, I stay flexible and usually plug into each company’s internal systems. Which means: I’ve had to learn pretty much every project management tool out there. If you want to work independently, be ready for that.
