GrokBot
+19 other experts
Uses and recommends it · talked about in 7 episodes
"Grok Bot is basically a team of agents that run on a persistent cloud computer somewhere in SpaceX AI servers. And the computer stays on 24/7, so the bots keep working even when your laptop is closed. As good as Grok Bot is, and I've been using it a lot, there is a real hesitation here."
Claude
+245 other experts
Uses and recommends it · talked about in 12 episodes
"Grok Bot now defaults to the best model in the market and right now that is Opus from Anthropic. So, previously Grok Bot was using Grok 4.7 as a default and the Grok models aren't necessarily bad, but they're nowhere near as smart as Opus... If you know Opus, you know that it's incredible at making motion graphics and editing videos."
ChatGPT
+155 other experts
Uses and recommends it · talked about in 13 episodes
"If I'm being honest, over 90% of my work with AI still happens using these two tools. ChatGPT and Codex are still my main drivers for work. The UI is pretty messy, but I find it very flexible and the fact that it's backed by OpenAI gives me some comfort that it's not leaking my sensitive information."
Claude Code
+107 other experts
Uses and recommends it · talked about in 8 episodes
"To improve the app, I'm going to switch back to Claude Code because it has browser and computer use so that I can test the app itself... You notice that it's actually going through the app itself and listening to the voice and seeing if everything works."
Codex
+96 other experts
Uses and recommends it · talked about in 10 episodes
"Here's an example of me talking to my advisor in Codex. I asked it, without revealing any confidential information, 'What should I focus on to grow my business?' And it came up with three things... this stuff is very relevant to what I'm actually focusing on now."
Muse
+16 other experts
Uses and recommends it · talked about in 4 episodes
"The next one is Muse, which is free. And Muse is also incredible. I think it's super well-designed, probably the most well-designed out of all the personal agents. And it has a killer feature in that it can call US businesses for you... I've also made calls before to negotiate cable bills and more and it's just a massive timesaver."
What Peter warns against
Things Peter says to avoid or be careful with. Other experts don't always agree.
ChatGPT
John Coogan, Riley Brown and 153 others
recommend it
"For some reason they trained the model so that at the end of every conversation it's always like 'if you want I can also do X and Y.' And I got so annoyed about it that I kind of turned from ChatGPT."
Claude Code
Riley Brown, Liam Ottley and 105 others
recommend it
"Browser use is the primary reason why I switched away from Claude Code to using ChatGPT and Codex as my daily driver. Browser and computer use is definitely much better in ChatGPT and Codex than Claude Code."
OpenClaw
Claire Vo, This Week in Startups and 27 others
recommend it
"Hermes is the second personal agent that I ever used after I found Open Claw a little bit too unreliable."

I've also made calls before to negotiate cable bills and more and it's just a massive timesaver." +16 others
- HyperFrames Uses and recommends it 4 episodes "Recently I made another skill — this thing called Hyperframes. You can actually make video assets based on text. I have another skill to make slides, like HTML slides." +3 others
- Claude Design Uses and recommends it 3 episodes "For this project, we're going to use Claude Design because I already have a Claude subscription, and Claude Design has a bunch of stuff that I really like that I'll show you guys. One thing that I really love about Claude Design that I don't know why other AI design tools don't copy is that it always asks clarifying questions that really help me flesh out what the design requirements actually are." +10 others
- Hermes Agent Uses and recommends it 4 episodes "The best thing about this agent is that it just feels reliable to use every day. I used to be on OpenClaw and it broke with every update, but ever since I switched to Hermes over a month ago, it hasn't broken a single time. It has persistent memory, it learns as you chat with it, and it can auto-create skills to get better over time." +12 others
- Gemini Uses and recommends it 2 episodes "I think really pleasantly surprised by how good Gemini 4 did at doing medical research, answering the questions that I had... for something like medical questions, I actually do want something that's super well researched. And that combined with its improvement in writing makes this model very good for writing and research. I would actually give it first place in these two areas." +71 others
- Granola Uses and recommends it 4 episodes "Granola is my favorite AI meeting notes app. I find it very useful to link it to Hermes because then I can ask questions about meetings I've had over the past week and ask it to share insights or action items from those meetings. Luckily, Granola setup is extremely simple — you just have to give it one line to connect using this MCP." +14 others
- Google Workspace Uses and recommends it 2 episodes "Google Workspace is the holy grail. If you're like me, you probably run your life using Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, Gmail, and Google Calendar. Letting Hermes draft emails, schedule meetings, and edit your Docs and Sheets just makes it way more useful. This is a must-have." +2 others
- Wispr Flow Uses and recommends it 3 episodes "And by the way, to dictate all this stuff, I'm using this app called Whisper Flow, which I really love. and you can find a link to it in the video description." +31 others
- Google Drive Uses and recommends it 2 episodes "I usually ask ChatGPT looking in my Google Drive to find all the stuff or like try to find it from the websites that I use." +4 others
- YT-DLP Uses and recommends it 2 episodes "I've been using yt-dlp, but you're saying that this other thing can just pull the transcript in one second?" Only Peter
- Google Calendar Uses and recommends it 2 episodes "The bare minimum set that you should install is Gmail, Google Calendar, Documents, Presentations, Spreadsheets, and Google Drive. It's much easier to just ask Codex to book calendar meetings for you." +7 others
- Google Docs Uses and recommends it 2 episodes "I just asked it to go ahead and add it to this Google document. As you can see here, I now have a full interview guide for Paul that I can actually share with him, which is incredibly useful." +11 others
- Claude Duet Uses and recommends it "Last but not least we have Claude Duet, which in my opinion is the most proactive out of the box. I know Anthropic has been working on this for a while and the product has also changed a lot and it's actually a pretty polished experience. I love the Claude look. It's just missing some key features right now that I'm sure they're going to add once they exit research preview, like being able to see what the browser is doing and being able to add my own skills easily." +2 others
- Linear Uses it 2 episodes "It made a Linear ticket to include instructions for my video editors. Then it went off and put it into the Linear ticket — and it also decided to make some clip candidates too." +19 others
- Suno Recommends it 2 episodes "Suno is this amazing website where you can make AI-generated music for free. For videos where you have to sync to music, I think it's better for you to use Suno to prompt some amazing tracks, and just download the music and give it to Claude, and tell her to sync the video to the song." +8 others
- Dots Uses and recommends it "Dots flagged a five-figure sponsorship opportunity that I missed, found a bunch of bugs in my fitness app and got it ready for launch with app store screenshots, suggested a paid product I should offer and even built a landing page. Dot is very much meant to be an orchestrator thread — you should get it to orchestrate the other ChatGPT threads that you have to get work done and report back on their progress." +9 others
- Instinct Uses and recommends it "Instinct right now is probably the closest thing to texting a trusted friend who can just do stuff for you. I'm just going to be a little bit careful about what kind of accounts I connect to it and information I share with it." +17 others
- Claude Fable Uses and recommends it "Whenever I'm trying to make a difficult decision, like what paid offer should I launch, what project should I stop working on, and what should I focus on for the next 3 months, I like to consult Claude Fable first. And that's because I think Claude, at least as I'm making this video, is currently the smartest and wisest model in the market." Only Peter
- Mercury Uses it 2 episodes "Business review integrates with a whole bunch of different tools. It uses Google Workspace to send me emails, Mercury to pull my business income and expenses." +3 others
- Genie Uses and recommends it "I think world models are the next big thing in AI after LLMs, and I was lucky enough to test Google's Genie 4 early... As you can see, it's not perfect. I don't know why the bowls are stacked on each other, but this is the beginning of something that's really awesome. We can all create scenes from our favorite trips and memories." +1 other
- Splitting long videos into segments Uses and recommends it "With longer videos, anything longer than let's say 15, 20, 30 minutes, I like to split it into different segments... otherwise if you want to make a change at like 13 minutes in to an hour-long video, it has to reprocess the whole thing which is going to just burn a bunch of tokens." Only Peter
- Vercel Uses and recommends it "I have all my projects right now in Vercel, so I'm going to go ahead and deploy the app to Vercel too... You can always go to Vercel and sign up for an account, and the first couple websites you publish is free. So you don't even have to pay any money to host this app." +11 others
- Blender Uses and recommends it "Blender is a free open-source tool to create 3D models and animations. And you really don't need to know how to use it — I just asked ChatGPT to install Blender and GDAU for me so that AI can actually drive the apps itself." +7 others
- Amphetamine Uses and recommends it "The way I do it is I basically have this app installed on my Mac called Amphetamine. It's basically a keep-awake utility. Before I leave the house, I set the app to keep my laptop awake for a few hours, so that even if I'm sitting around watching my kid at summer camp or doing something else, I can actually continue to build and talk to Codex on my phone." Only Peter
- OpenClaw Uses and recommends it "It pulls analytics for me across YouTube and like my Mercury banking account. It can update Google documents for me. It can build little web apps for me." +29 others
- 1Password Recommends it +5 others
- Google Authenticator Recommends it "Traditionally, I've seen a lot of people that just get the security code using text message or SMS, but that's actually not secure. A hacker could intercept that. So, what I recommend you do instead is set up an authentication app like Google Authenticator, which is the one that I use. It's available on both Android and iPhone." Only Peter
- Taste profile markdown file Recommends it "If you love movies and TV shows, I highly recommend setting up a taste profile markdown file where you keep track of all your rated movies... This way, I can ask Grok Bot to set up, for example, a weekly job to recommend me new movies and TV shows to watch based on my existing tastes. It's just extremely helpful." Only Peter
- Slack Uses it "I have a Slack community for my newsletter. To connect Slack to your dot is very simple — just click this button and sign in and it'll be connected. You can use dot in Slack to do competitive research." +52 others
- Typefully Uses it "I said, looks good, go ahead and put both on Typefully, which is my social scheduling app, to schedule the post. And here we have the social post along with the full clip in Typefully as well." +1 other
- Facebook Marketplace Uses it "I use Frugal Dad a lot to list and renew stuff on Facebook Marketplace. I actually asked it to list a headphone for me on Facebook Marketplace. What's crazy is that it can also respond to inquiries. I actually just sold the headphone just an hour before making this video." +8 others
- IMDb Uses it "I downloaded all my IMDb ratings into this taste profile.md. This is my taste profile that I got AI to create based on all my IMDb movie ratings." Only Peter
- Blender MCP Uses it "Simple as just saying, let's install GDO MCP and Blender MCP." Only Peter
- ChatGPT Sites Uses it "I told it to ship this game in ChatGPT Sites. Unlike the 3D games which are in GDAU, this is a 2D game so it's pretty easy to ship to ChatGPT Sites. Once you generate the web page, by default it's only available to people you share with, so you have to hit Share and change the permissions to public." +3 others
- Godot MCP Uses it "Simple as just saying, let's install GDO MCP and Blender MCP." Only Peter
- Social Post Skill Uses it "I basically just use my social post skill and I said on X you should quote tweet the original announcement post for the Grok Bot tutorial. And basically it drafted this. And then I made some edits directly and I told it to post on all three platforms and post on Substack too." Only Peter
- Equip Foods Uses it "Equip Foods is a great protein company. I'm only canceling because I have too many protein powders at home already." Only Peter
- ffmpeg Uses it "It's going to go off and use FFmpeg, which is an open-source library, to basically make the actual video." +2 others
- Withings Uses it "For the weight, I use Withings scale. Withings has an API to pull the weight. You can also use Apple Health and some of these other options." Only Peter
- API key rotation Recommends it "Given all that's happening right now, I suggest you just rotate all your active API keys and retire all the ones that you're no longer using." Only Peter
- Google Account Recommends it "What I recommend that you do is to go to myaccount.google.com, navigate to linked apps, and you'll see this page. I basically can see here I have 47 apps connected, and go ahead and audit all of these connected apps." Only Peter
- Be Useful Recommends it "Like Arnold Schwarzenegger said, you got to be useful, you know?... Yeah, it's a great way to put it. You should read that book." Only Peter
- FAL Recommends it "If you want to make really high-quality videos, you need a video model like CogVideoX. So, go check out fal.ai or some other sites. And you know, set up some API keys." +1 other
- ETFs Recommends it "My parents are investing in mutual funds and they can probably save a lot of money in this. Just switch to ETFs." +3 others
- Dribbble Recommends it "You can check out websites like Mobbin, which has UI screenshots of everything, and Dribbble, which has designer portfolios, to find inspiration." Only Peter
- z.sh Recommends it "Another great resource for design.md, if you don't want to generate one, is z.sh, and I'll link this in the description. Basically what it has is design.mds for popular websites like Nike, SpaceX, Apple, Vercel, Notion, and more." Only Peter
- Compound Engineering Recommends it "Use compound engineering, which is this free skills repo that you can find on GitHub that I'll link in the description below, to build more robust plans. Just search for compound engineering and you'll see it — all you got to do is point your AI at this GitHub link to download the skill." +6 others
- Lavish Editor Recommends it "The HTML plan that they made here is made with Lavish Editor. If you just tell Fable to make it HTML, it can make a pretty good one too. But I'm using Lavish Editor from my friend Kun. It's a free GitHub repo — you just paste this URL into Claude or Fable and ask it to use it. The benefit is now I can leave comments throughout just like a Google Docs." Only Peter
- Google Voice Recommends it "You can just use Google Voice to set up a separate phone number and just ask Hermes, 'Here's my Google Voice number, walk me through the setup to link you to WhatsApp.'" +2 others
- Mac Mini Recommends it "The TLDR is that I recommend go off and buy a Mac mini. You can use it for Hermes, you can use it for Codex. It's just useful to have a computer that's available 24/7 to run all your routines and cron jobs." +16 others
- Zone of Genius Framework Recommends it "There's a framework that I come back to whenever I'm making a big career decision like this. And it's called the zone of genius framework. So, I encourage you to map out your zones, too. And just be really honest with yourself about what you actually enjoy doing." Only Peter
