These Are the Best AI Tools in 2026
Transcript
00:00everybody thinks they've got the answer claude's the best tool chat gpt is gemini or some cheap
00:05chinese model that nobody's ever heard of and that's the thing ai models change all the time
00:11and to be in the forefront of ai you need to know what the best one is right now and
00:16i get it testing
00:17the tools and keeping up with every single update is exhausting and that's why i've spent dozens of
00:22hours testing every single one across all of my companies so that you don't have to so in this
00:28video i'm gonna walk you through the best ai tools that i'm running in my life right now what each
00:33one is actually good at and how to get them to stack together for better results and stick around
00:38because at the end of this video i'll show you how to build a system that allows you to immediately
00:44leverage any ai tool and stay at the top of the gate so that way when a better tool comes
00:48out you
00:49can start using it asap with zero friction so let's start with the first tool in the stack
00:54and i hate to say it but chat gpt is back let's call out the elephant in the room yes
01:00i broke my
01:01hand but before telling you you tell me below in the comments what you think happened and i'll tell
01:05you at the end what actually happened chat gpt's newest model astro isn't just a better chatbot
01:11it's taken things to a whole new level most ai tools right now sit on top of your computer it's
01:17almost like an app gpt astro runs your actual machine it literally takes over the computer
01:25it access files apps everything before ai took you from whatever you're thinking to do some ai and then
01:31you had to copy and paste and you got to go into another tool now it just works and it
01:36works in the
01:36background while you're also working which is a wild thing to watch it's kind of like watching a ghost
01:42employee on your computer doing things around and clicking and copying and pasting stuff while
01:48you're still in there doing work and the cool part is you can actually use the phone app to talk
01:53to it
01:53to the computer to get it to do things from your phone you're probably thinking yourself i already
01:58used cloud code and i already use codex isn't it the same thing it's way different now it acts just
02:04like a human and whatever you can do it can do and it can do it better and not through
02:09apis and
02:10connectors so some crazy things i did day one i asked it to order some food off of doordash it
02:15went and looked at my order history it knew what restaurant i like to order from it ordered me my
02:19usual my credit card was expired it went in updated my credit card because i gave it access to it
02:24it
02:25prompted me but i said yeah approve schedule it for noon that day and my food showed up and all
02:29i said
02:29was order me my usual from this restaurant on doordash i couldn't believe it and it did it in seven
02:36minutes the real work is in you thinking it's not clicking around between apps it's so crazy because
02:42it's at the point where if somebody on the receiving end that works on your team doesn't use a tool
02:47like
02:47this they can't keep up to the workload that you're able to produce that's a real thing right now so
02:52here's what you need to do first go download chat gpt again maybe you deleted it because i was not
02:57a fan
02:57of it go to your settings then go to integrations and make sure you toggle on any app which is
03:03the
03:03computer use flag so that way it can use any app on your computer now there's a pro tip click
03:07on
03:08show pet because it puts this little icon in a little voice prompt so that way even if you're
03:13in slack you can still talk to it and it can do work if you're in other apps you just
03:16have access
03:17to it it's almost like microsoft paperclip but it works and if you know what i'm talking about
03:22welcome my friends next we got to follow the maps framework which is the same way we've been
03:26prompting ai forever the first part is the mission the m tell it what you're trying to achieve
03:32second part is we got to ask tell it what you want done very clear third is the p which
03:37is parameters
03:38give it the files the rules and the limits and then four is shape tell it exactly what you want
03:45back from it tell it the work you want done and how you want to be notified but it's crazy
03:49because
03:49in the past you would have had to do a file that you then copy and you put in another
03:53system now you
03:54can just tell it the full workflow and it'll just boom boom boom boom so for example i want every
04:01receipt from the last month gathered and filed open my receipts on my computer read each one
04:07rename the file to the date and the vendor ignore any travel receipts and add up the total and send
04:12it to my cheapest staff through slack and it'll just work i've got an events person rachel who is
04:17so awesome she runs like eight bigger events for us one person she's went and met with all the top
04:24events people and their team of 12 and 25 and they go how do you do with one person and
04:29she just shows them
04:30her ai she's using chat gpt astra and this next tool i'm going to teach you about to get so
04:36much
04:36work done one of the top use cases that's gonna make you money or save you money is asking it
04:42to
04:42go through your email of all your subscription notifications and figure out what you're paying
04:46for log into those accounts as you and then negotiate through the support chat bot a discount
04:52for anything you currently pay for my friend nick the other day told me it saved him thirty thousand
04:57dollars a month in his business the cool part is is while it's running you can talk to it and
05:01shape
05:02it and change it and tell it to skip something or even stop if you're still doing the task the
05:07ai could
05:07do you're the bottleneck and even worse you're very close to being replaced so make sure you're using
05:14this tool to get a lot done now that was gpt astra and it's great for performing local tasks on
05:20your
05:21computer but now what if you need something that is like scientifically nerdy and very specific great
05:27at one specific thing that's grokbot think of it like gpt astra is like the generalist grokbot is the
05:35specialist which is a group of virtual employees it allows you to run a team of hyper specialized
05:42bots that collaborate hand off and talk to each other around whatever they're great at to accomplish
05:47full tasks and the crazy part is is anything that you want to do like automation schedule tasks etc
05:53you create using plain english you talk to it you can say just remind me at 8 a.m to
05:58check this slack
05:59post and if i don't get a notification send me a reminder one of the biggest questions i get is
06:05well what makes it different if you've ever had to get open claw hermes or any other agent platform
06:10installed you have to have a computer science degree and you're probably going to get hacked grokbot is
06:15essentially the simplest agent platform ever created it's almost like if apple created ai agents
06:22it would work like grokbot the way you use it is the way you would just hire a new employee
06:26and every
06:27employee and bot on grokbot comes with a virtual and computer just like you would if you hired a
06:32person you give them a computer most ai feels great but it doesn't do all of the work it does
06:38like
06:3890 of it i'll tell you the first time you use it and you go and you ask it to
06:43do something and it
06:44goes a hundred percent completion and it does it the way you would have done it and it does it
06:49in
06:49your voice and it feels absolutely awesome over time you're just going to start giving it more
06:54and more i've spent more time on grokbot in the last two weeks in any other ai platform i even
07:00had
07:00an all hands with my team and ask everybody please install this over the next 24 hours it is now
07:06the
07:06platform of choice for agent orchestration for all of us to get virtual team members full bandwidth and just
07:13create the most crazy things without worrying about security and my laptop being on and all
07:18these other things that used to come with the other platforms and guess what do you know who built it
07:22elon musk xai the first people to test grokbot was his own employees and his companies do you think
07:29there's a reason why they're so freaking productive because they build tools like this for themselves
07:32i've built everything like my sales bot overnight it identifies all sales related bottlenecks and
07:38throughputs and constraints across all my companies and consolidates it and gives me a high level
07:43overview and direct messages all the leaders to ask them if they are aware and what are they doing to
07:48resolve it the finance bot it literally lives in my mailbox in my slack in my finance tools it grabs
07:53everything and it just does it we're now at the point where small businesses one person with grokbot
08:00will build a full company so here's how grokbot works starts off by creating a new bot and give it
08:07a
08:07role most people are using kind of like a chief of staff role so they coordinates the other bots or
08:12you can create an inbox manager if you want to do like a simple targeted thing i have a pr
08:16bot a sys
08:17admin bot a revenue bot probably at this point 37 different bots and if you don't know which one
08:22you should create say interview me ask me the context of my life or look at my emails and look
08:26at my slack post and tell me which bots you should create for me and it'll do that so you
08:30just create
08:31a bot give it a name give it a role and then give it any task exclusive to that role
08:36you can even
08:37create a group chat of bots so they can share context with each other and then you can even
08:41organize them by different categories the reason why they have this feature is because it allows
08:46you to think of the bots like people so that you have context for what you've asked them to do
08:51when
08:52you open up those chats it works just like text message and it is really neat to empower yourself
08:57and collaborate and have each one of those chats be a specific outcome you're trying to achieve and then
09:03you use it to just work on those kind of tasks so for example i can say to my chief
09:07of staff agent
09:08i want you to clear my inbox categorize all my email and draft up replies for the ones that need
09:13a
09:14response enter the chief of staff will then coordinate with my inbox agent maybe my copywriting
09:20agent maybe my context agent that has access to everything that it needs to be able to write
09:25really meaningful and accurate replies and it'll just manage your inbox and the cool part is now i can
09:30say let's make sure we do this every morning at 8 a.m and give me a brief on what
09:34needs my attention
09:35no cron jobs verse cell instances api keys scheduled tasks automation is it on my computer is it in the
09:43cloud who knows all that stuff gone and here's a pro tip you click that plus icon and select teach
09:49a task
09:50which opens up a computer and you do something on the computer in the browser and then you hit stop
09:55and it will literally take that and teach the bot how to do the thing you just showed it to
10:00do
10:00on your computer maybe you've heard of this i wrote a whole book about it it's called the camcorder method
10:05recording yourself doing the thing and then giving it to somebody else now that somebody else is the
10:10grok bot it can literally go into any tool any system and help you identify where there's bottlenecks
10:17if you want to get even nerdier because every bot has its own computer i created an agent swarm bot
10:24that essentially installed grok bot under a different account so that bot has access to
10:30grok bot to create as many agents as it wants i know this part gets scary for people they're like
10:34damn what are you doing i don't think i'm the first person to think about this and i don't think
10:38i'm
10:38going to be the reason that the singularity occurs but i am definitely pushing the edges of what's
10:43possible so that if it works i'm going to teach it to you so that is a very advanced move
10:48but it's pretty
10:49freaking cool if you think about it my bot has access to grok bot maybe it installs grok bot on
10:55one of its bots how many layers deep will it go who knows all i know is that my credit
11:00card is probably
11:00going to get some big freaking charges and look it's already wildly powerful but there's two features
11:07that when they add it's going to change the game even more one is the ability to call and talk
11:12to
11:12people or take calls and answer questions that people have voice is a core feature they've said is
11:18coming in grok bot two having a bot added to a slack channel with other people's bots or the ability
11:26for my bot to talk to your bot and coordinate around work once that starts happening the whole
11:31way work gets done shifts and i'll be the first person to tell you so be sure you subscribe here
11:36and go find me on instagram and follow me there because that comes out in real time now this is
11:40just
11:41like the idea of having one bot doing one job but i've got like 37 right now running all the
11:46time
11:46and in my opinion every business owner is going to need to be doing the same at some level of
11:51scale
11:51so if you want to learn how to integrate all these ai systems into every department in your business
11:56i've got you covered i've taught people how to use ai and specifically grok bot in every single
12:01department in every kind of company so i put the whole thing together in a document which tools to
12:06use what to hand over first and what you should keep human i call it the ai company operating system
12:12and
12:12if you want it just go find me on instagram follow me comment ai business and i'll send it over
12:17for
12:17free so now you got two very powerful tools that work in completely different ways but the real hack
12:23is when you stop picking between them and start having them work together i don't even know how to
12:30say this other than what i do and i would encourage you to try is chad gpt becomes your point
12:36of contact
12:37and it runs the bots for you so what i do is i use chad gpt astra and it runs
12:43on my computer and grok
12:45bot is an app installed on my computer and i interact through it to talk to grok bot to do
12:50work that run
12:51on their own machine so that i never feel constrained i just talk work outputs and it coordinates with my
12:57grok bots and it does work it's kind of like running a company that only works for you and that's
13:03why i think
13:03every team member in your company should have their own grok bot account to do more work to create more
13:10to improve workflows to never stop you should have your own little army of people they should have
13:14their own little army of people so now you have the power of having things on your local computer
13:18things in virtual computers up in the cloud running 24 7 and if there's anything on your computer it
13:23needs to gather to then hand off to grok bot it'll do that you go to one person you tell
13:28them what you
13:28need and then they figure out who handles it it's like you with the chief of staff in your office
13:33then having a whole team of people out there and they're working those are the grok bots astro is
13:38your chief of staff they sit right in your office they hear everything you say you talk to it you
13:42ask it to do work it might do some of the stuff but it'll also hand off to the designer
13:46to the
13:47copywriter to the social media expert to the office admin i got too many bots but that that's the thing
13:53it's like i can't keep track of them all so at the end of the day you just talk to
13:57try gbt and you say
13:58use grok bot it's an app on my computer coordinate with the bots in grok bots to get work done
14:03and then
14:04report back if you have anything for me and it can run all of it without you you can even
14:08go back
14:08remember i said you can use the phone app for chad gbt it's called remote access it's on the left
14:13pane in the app you click it you connect your laptop to it and boom i'm talking to my phone
14:18and
14:18it's driving my laptop i'm on the beach it's in the office okay don't tell anybody for example i might
14:24say
14:24hey go create a financial report with the receipts we found earlier and open up grok bot and feed it
14:29the receipts into my finance agent and then ask it to create a visual report of the last 30 days
14:34and
14:34send that to jared on slack it'll open up grok bot prompt the agent give it all the information it
14:40needs tell it where the files are hand it over to the finance agent then asher might take the report
14:44or
14:44it might be done through rockbot but it'll send that dm on slack to your cfo here's another example
14:50something on my team wanted to connect hubspot to grok bot and it was asking for some configuration
14:56settings so he opened up gpt astra and he said go check out what grok bot is asking me for
15:01and just
15:02go connect it make it happen just figure it out enter so it opened up grok bot it looked what
15:07it
15:07was asking for in hubspot it had access to the password manager it logged into hubspot it found
15:12the setting grabbed the stuff hand it over to grok bot hit submit without lifting a finger the whole
15:17thing was done now all of a sudden the person had it connected to the system and needed to get
15:20smart
15:21he didn't have to learn any technical terms or how to set up things or call somebody to get the
15:26setting it just figured it out there's no more switching apps no more opening no more closing
15:31windows you've got to be the director not the doer i've been saying this for three years talker not
15:37typing hearts not hands now what's crazy is at this point we're already ahead of 99 of people using ai
15:44like you're like in the 99.9 range right now and you've got these two incredible powerful tools
15:51working together now instead of working separately but what happens and in three months or three weeks
15:58or three days something better comes out i mean everybody's giving me on instagram because they're
16:02like hey what happened to claude why are you so hot and heavy about gpt and hey why are you
16:06talking
16:07about this tool not that tool i can't predict the future i can just predict the process so what we
16:12need
16:12to do is figure out a way in our business for these tools to connect to the information so that
16:17they come out of the box lid on because that way you can switch tools and never lose any momentum
16:23because if you don't do this essentially the ai starts and it's not very smart unless you do this
16:28picture this what if you could build a system that made it so that you're never stuck to a single
16:34ai tool
16:34ever again that's what happened for me a year and a half ago every time a new ai tool came
16:40out i was
16:40having the exact same challenge connecting everything creating the context making sure
16:44all of my knowledge was copy and pasted it and migrating all of my preferences my memories and
16:48all this stuff man i used to do videos on it teaching everybody how to migrate from this tool
16:52to the next tool but i was like there's got to be a better way why isn't there a memory
16:56system a
16:57complete memory system so the ai model can come in with its lights turned on think about it everything
17:03you've ever said all the information about your clients how you make decisions the relationships in your
17:09life who is mark in your life because you have 1700 if i just search your email but who is
17:14mark
17:14and what if i could keep it in one place and that way every ai tool could reach it and
17:19be smart from
17:20day one regardless if whether claude or grok or a new ai tool we've never even heard of comes out
17:26of
17:26nowheres okay and it becomes the new one i don't want to have to replicate this because that way then
17:32a new tool isn't just a new tool it's i get to use it without any dependence on it having
17:37all my
17:37information and this is why i teach because strategy is sequencing the right action in the
17:43right order if you do this right you grow that's why i coach people i want to teach people this
17:48is
17:48the sequence of the information to make ai work for you so we got to get that foundation done right
17:53first or the rest of it makes it really hard to switch so what you need is called a second
17:58brain
17:59you need all the context in your mind saved in one place for all the ais to connect to it
18:03look there's
18:04bunch of tools that let you do different versions of this from storing data like obsidian and google
18:09drive and notion and all these other products and i've made whole videos on how to set up your ai
18:14second brain you can build this yourself but that takes time it takes more money and tokens just to
18:20process all the information than the value it might give you and it's hard to maintain it breaks it
18:25confuses itself you might accidentally think it's making good decisions but it doesn't have all the
18:29context because you didn't know how to build it right none of the ai tools are incentivized to let
18:33you own your own data they want to lock you in they want you to become dependent on their platform
18:38which is why i built apex apex.host it's one of my companies at martel ventures because it allows me
18:44to have that second braid centralized with all my stuff i'm talking every meeting every chat every
18:50comment every decision every logic every report everything i do it's my second brain watching a
18:55youtube video i favorite it it hooks in and grabs it all my chats all my ais all my systems
19:00it grabs it it
19:02brings in the context into the second brain and it's easy to use and extremely safe and while gpt
19:07clawed gemini keeps surpassing each other for frontier models i can stay on top of it because i just connect
19:12my brain to each new one so that it can do work for me out of the box i am
19:17tool agnostic but because i
19:19use apex i don't have to worry about the switching cost and i want you to have that benefit as
19:24well so that
19:24way when i recommend the next tool that is the new great one you can just connect your apex to
19:29it and then it
19:30just works it takes like a person that doesn't know anything about me to immediately ramping up
19:35it's like neo in the matrix and he's like i know kung fu boom it just knows so if you
19:40want to check
19:41it out just scan the qr code with your phone or click the link in the description but now you
19:46can
19:46use the best ai tools and switch whenever the new one comes out without losing all your contacts we own
19:52the brain and then we rent the models whoever's got the best model i pay you for it brain i
19:58own that
19:59this isn't about the tools it's about how we use them i call it the ai mindset it's the mindset
20:06of
20:06deferring work to the ai i still see it amongst my team where people still decide to do work because
20:12they don't stop themselves to say like oh i don't have to do that you can have a nasa supercomputer
20:18and still use it for basic math equation and that's what people are doing people don't understand
20:23that when we start working and collaborating with the ai it will solve the biggest problems in our
20:27business so that you can make more money you can have more time back and you can build a bigger
20:32life so we want to use these tools to build with intention don't just play around with the tools
20:36actually make a commitment to learn them to defer work to it to actually get your time back if you
20:42do that you will crush it in this new world and remember if you want my ai company operating system
20:48and how i've mapped this whole thing and give it to you for each department just find me on instagram
20:52follow me and dm me the words ai business and i'll send it over to you for free and look
20:57if you
20:57really want to build your own second ai brain from scratch just click the link and watch how i do
21:01it
21:01or check out apex and i'm reading the comments right now did you put your vote in on how i
21:06broke my hand
21:07because the answer is i punched a tree i was biking with my kids and they built this drop and
21:13i hit the
21:14drop and then i lost it and i was going off my bike and i wanted to not hit the
21:18tree with my hand and i
21:19couldn't get my hand off my handlebar fast enough and the tree was coming like this and it went bang
21:24so i punched a tree doesn't matter because ai voice astra grokbot has got me way more productive so to
21:31the voice
