In this solo commentary, Eric Siu ranks AI tools for enterprises generating $20 million or more in revenue, using a tier system from S (best) to D (least useful). He places Jasper and Perplexity in D tier, noting Jasper’s decline after ChatGPT and his own reduced need for Perplexity. MetaMuse earns an A tier, nearing S, because of its deep integration with Instagram, Meta ads, and capabilities for both paid and organic social growth. Jev also receives an A tier for its content classification and decision‑making layer that speeds up publishing workflows. Claude Design is rated A tier, with the caveat that users must inject personal style to avoid generic outputs. GrokBot and Codex are both S tier: GrokBot for reliable automation, routine building, and tool integration; Codex for its powerful coding harness that can generate up‑to‑date code across models. Siu concludes with a brief call‑to‑action, inviting viewers to follow for more AI, business, and marketing insights.

S tier through D tier. These are the best AI tools for a $20 million plus business. Jasper is D tier. Jasper used to be big before ChatGPT came out. Not so much anymore. They've gone kind of the enterprise routes, but I don't really hear about it anymore. Perplexity is D tier. I don't really use it anymore because I used to use it a lot for research, but I just find that I have everything that I need already with all the different tools that I have. MetaMuse is A tier and it's quickly close to becoming S tier because it's connected to Instagram, it's connected to Meta ads, it's connected to all the things that you need to grow faster from a paid media standpoint and also an organic social standpoint. Jev is A tier because it's a classifier that allows you to just ultimately get things done a lot faster, right? It's a decision-making layer that you can classify all of your content before you publish it and also after you publish it as well. Claude Design is A tier as long as you aren't copying what other people are doing. So make sure that you are injecting your taste into it so your designs don't look like everyone else's Claude designs. GrokBot is S tier. GrokBot is just reliable in terms of just getting things done. In terms of routines and connecting to all the different tools that you have, it is a godsend. Codex is S tier. It's a very strong coding harness, and I find that it builds almost everything I need with the latest models today. Follow for more on AI, business, and marketing.
