I’m curious...

What AI are you actually using?
Or are you just "collecting" subscriptions?

We’ve been debating this in GM+ lately because, frankly, the shine has worn off OpenAI for me.

To give you some context, I’ve been an OpenAI power user since the start.

But the 5.2 release?

It’s woeful.

I spend more time arguing with the "Custom GPTs" than I do getting actual work done. I guess they told it to stop being so sycophantic, now it's like a petulant little kid who doesn't like when you tell it it's wrong.

In speaking to a few folk, the big trend now is "agentic AI". Which for a long time has been a buzzword no one has deliver on.

But I'm starting to change my tune.

I recently ponied up the £10 (maybe $15) to all of the Google suite of Ai tools through Workspace.

And damn.

Last week, I spent 30 minutes in Veo 3 and walked out with a 45-second UGC-style social ad.

Now the system's dialled in, I could bang these out in 15-minutes.

Cool? Yes.

But it's not really the kind of thing that works for my offers.

It falls into the "cool AI thing that dfoens't actually grow a business".

So, I dug a little deeper.

The real shift happened this week in Google Antigravity (their new Agentic Dev Environment).

Usually, this stuff is way too "techy" for me. But with the AI integration, it's way easier than I expected.

Some hiccups, but with YT and the integrated AI, I've built things that actually make meaningful progress.

I spent the other day building an agent that builds other agents.

And I had that build a lead generation agent.

Something that goes to the internet and collects the details of the ideal customer for me to reach out to.

The initial run of that pulled about 5 test leads which I can actually use.

I'm tweaking it this afternoon and will have it build a list of 100 people for me to reach otu to for researching a new venture.

The best bit is I can then have it add those leads to a Google Sheet, then have Gmail draft them all an email.

Definite benefits to using Google as they just own so many different properties.

I'm not sure if I buy into the whole LinkedIn style BS you see like...

"Are you still chatting, or are you orchestrating?".

... but I think there's definitely something to tools like Antigravity.

I'll be playing around more, but if I can build it out in a way that can pull data from various sources like the web to enrich them inside AG through API calls, and then send the info to a sheet and draft emails...

... it's gonna be pretty awesome.

​I'm sharing more about all of the details in GM+.​

But, I'd also love to know what other tools I've been sleeping on.

So if you do have a good AI stack and a tool recommendation, please hit reply and let me know.
