  1. 0:00These are the paid AI tools that I use
  2. 0:01in my daily life that I can't live
  3. 0:03without. If you don't know me already, I
  4. 0:04hate hate paying for subscriptions, but
  5. 0:06these are the AI tools that I pay for
  6. 0:08monthly because they make a huge
  7. 0:09difference in my workflow. The first one
  8. 0:11is Claude Code. I'm a huge Claude Code
  9. 0:13gazer. I switched over from using Cursor
  10. 0:15a few months ago and I really can't go
  11. 0:16back to using Cursor. It's so intuitive,
  12. 0:18it helps so much with the projects, and
  13. 0:20I actually pay for the $100 per month
  14. 0:22Opus Max version because I just seem to
  15. 0:24be always hitting limits when I was
  16. 0:25using the regular one when building out
  17. 0:26my projects. I also use regular Claude
  18. 0:28for content ideas, so I have a various
  19. 0:30projects that I put within Claude as
  20. 0:31well. I pay for the $20 version for
  21. 0:33ChatGPT as well. Even though I like
  22. 0:34Claude Code, I prefer ChatGPT for
  23. 0:36general use case ideas, including deep
  24. 0:38research where I used to fetch content
  25. 0:40ideas as well. I pay $20 a month for
  26. 0:42CapCut and its AI version. It's gotten
  27. 0:44so much better and I use it mainly to
  28. 0:46write the captions. I also pay
  29. 0:47subscriptions for Adobe for their AI
  30. 0:49version as well because it really helps
  31. 0:50if you're not that good at using
  32. 0:51Photoshop, but you know specifically
  33. 0:53what you want, so I use it for my
  34. 0:54thumbnails and for general pictures. I
  35. 0:56pay for Warp and that's about $20 a
  36. 0:58month. Warp is a terminal AI and I use
  37. 1:00it mainly for installing packages or
  38. 1:02running Git with my fellow teammates.
  39. 1:03And for building out apps specifically,
  40. 1:05I pay for Vercel and Supabase because
  41. 1:07they're really good at hosting and also
  42. 1:08hosting a database. Follow for more tech
  43. 1:10and AI and then let me know in the
  44. 1:11comments what subscriptions you pay for.
