In a brief, informal monologue, the speaker surveys the AI tool landscape, naming the popular platforms of 2025 and their 2026 successors across several functional domains. For research, ChatGPT is replaced by Gemini. For building applications, Replit gives way to Clog Code Every Day, and for website creation, Lovable is supplanted by Google Antigravity. Learning new skills shifts from Coursera to Notebook AI, while personal assistance moves from human assistants to OpenClock. Image generation transitions from Midjourney to Nanobanana or Grok, and typing moves from a physical keyboard to Whisperflow. The only remaining use for ChatGPT is its voice mode for brainstorming, which the speaker still finds useful, but otherwise deems ChatGPT largely inadequate. The overall tone is conversational and slightly critical of ChatGPT, while expressing enthusiasm for the newer tools.

For research, it used to be ChatGPT. Now it's Gemini. For building apps, it used to be Replit. Now it's Clog Code Every Day. For building websites, it used to be Lovable. Now it's Google Antigravity. For learning new skills, it used to be Coursera. Now it's Notebook AI. Personal assistant used to be a real human. Now it's OpenClock. For image generation, last year it used to be Midjourney. Now it's Nanobanana or Grok. And for typing, I used to use my keyboard. Now I just use Whisperflow. And for brainstorming, last year it was ChatGPT. This year, it's the only one I still use, but the voice mode. Other than that, ChatGPT ain't very good at much.
