In a fast‑paced, profanity‑filled monologue, the speaker ranks a selection of AI tools using letter grades and brief commentary. ChatGPT receives a D, while Claude Chat earns an A; NotebookLM is praised for accelerating learning, and Grok lands a B. Gemini is highlighted for its ability to search YouTube and Google Docs, and Perplexity is dismissed as unused, receiving a low B‑ for complexity. Whisperflow gets an enthusiastic A for daily use in cleaning up chaotic output. Apple Intelligence is heavily criticized with a D--- grade. Cloud Code is placed at the very top, touted as a way to build entire products via English‑like prompts. OpenClaw, combined with Cloud CLI, is crowned S++ as a powerful AI agent. The speaker concludes by announcing the formation of a new company called Apex, inviting listeners to join its waitlist, positioning the suite of tools as the future of AI‑driven product development.

ChatGPT. D. What the fuck? Claude Chat. A. It's awesome. It's not S. It's slow sometimes. NotebookLM. A. I'm learning at a pace that scares me. Grok. I'm gonna put it in the B. It's just still not there for me. Gemini. A. The only thing it's got is it can search YouTube videos and Google Docs. I do need that. Perplexity. I don't use Perplexity. Bottom of B for complexity only because of the new computer feature. Whisperflow. A. I use it every day. It takes all my crazy gibberish and it puts it into sensible output and format. Apple Intelligence. D minus minus minus. Claude. Cloud Code is at the top of the top. You can build every product we just talked about with Cloud Code yourself with a prompt that sounds like English. OpenClaw. S++. Would you put it over a Cloud? Oh yeah. Yeah. I use OpenClaw on top using Cloud CLI because it's a fucking AI agent. I'm even building a whole company around this called Apex cuz I think it's the future and anybody can join the waitlist below.
