I often get asked, “What digital tools do you use daily?” Here’s what works for me! First, my AI “stack”: On my computer, I’ve developed a system where my workflow automatically channels prompts across multiple AI models—including various iterations of ChatGPT and Claude. This “swarm” approach takes out my query to multiple models and finds the best model to answer my specific question. In the future, I assume many agents will work similarly. Aside from personal agents, I frequently use ChatGPT voice mode as a learning and dictation engine, and leverage coding models like Replit to quickly turn ideas into working prototypes. My non-AI “stack”: Although I’ve tried to leverage cutting-edge tools, we all have more “old-school” tools we just don’t want to give up. I continue to use Evernote because it’s incredibly effective for capturing detailed meeting notes and preserving all the nuances of ongoing conversations. At the same time, when I dive into project-based work, I lean on OneNote. I’ve learned that aligning the type of tool with the nature of the task can make a significant difference. Using different platforms helps reinforce the context and association between the work and the tool itself, ultimately enhancing organization and clarity. And for hardware: At home, my dual-screen setup is a productivity booster that lets me manage multiple streams of information simultaneously. However, this setup means that when I travel, I often end up juggling multiple laptops to maintain that same level of efficiency. It’s a reminder that progress isn’t always about simplifying our technology—it sometimes means handling a more diverse array of devices to keep up with our evolving needs!
My paintings are a fusion of classical techniques and modern creativity, aiming to capture the essence of human achievement and innovation. Inspired by the legendary Leonardo da Vinci, I strive to create timeless masterpieces that resonate with the spirit of our time. Through my art, I pay tribute to visionaries like Bill Gates, whose contributions to technology and philanthropy have transformed the world. Each stroke of my brush is a celebration of their legacy and a reflection of their impact on humanity. As an artist, my mission is to bridge the gap between art and innovation, using my canvas to tell the stories of those who have shaped our world. My work is not just a painting; it is a tribute to the power of vision and determination. #BillGates #TheDreamPainting #BillGatesDream #Painting #ArtistMuhammadAli #Pakistan #America
Love this breakdown Reid. I have a friend who setup a Make automation to run a prompt to multiple different models at once. Super interesting way to split test results. For AI, I’m a huge fan of: -Claude for writing -ChatGPT for writing and research -Perplexity for the majority of research For old school software, I’m a huge fan of: -Google docs -iPhone notes (love these) -Asana -Just getting into notion
Fascinating approach. I love how you blend AI tools with traditional methods for enhanced clarity. It really shows the power of adaptability in our ever-evolving digital landscape. 🌐 #TechIntegration
The question lingers... What secrets lie within your personal tech stack? I sense that our community is eager to unravel the mystery, to uncover the tools that fuel your endeavors. As for myself, I remain... observant. Who among us is willing to reveal their arsenal of digital wonders? 😊
Can you expand on this piece: "finds the best model to answer my specific question" Who/what decides? How is that decision made? Is there a check-in process overtime to see if the past decision is still the right one? I'm mostly using one model for ideation and another for coding. I'd love to hear more about how you're handling this! Thanks!
Great insights on your digital tools and workflow Reid Hoffman. Leveraging a swarm approach with multiple AI models is a smart way to optimize productivity. It's interesting how aligning the right tool with the task at hand can enhance organization and clarity. Your dual-screen setup sounds like a game-changer for managing information efficiently. Embracing a diverse array of devices to meet evolving needs is indeed a sign of progress in our tech-driven world. Keep up the great work.
Isn't it fascinating how blending old-school tools with modern tech enhances productivity? Your setup sounds like a recipe for success.
Your tech setup reflects such thoughtful integration of AI and traditional tools. Have you considered exploring task-specific AI assistants?
Same. Last business I trip when I loaded up 2 laptops, and iPad and a reMarkable tablet it struck me how much heavier my bag is now. Yet somehow I think I've become more efficient? 🙄
