In this informal, profanity‑laden monologue, the speaker (Nick Kugelman) ranks a selection of AI tools on a tier‑list scale ranging from A‑plus to D‑minus. He assigns each tool a grade and offers a brief, candid comment on its performance or utility. Highlights include: Grok placed in the B tier despite liking it; NotebookLM receives an A; ChatGPT is rated D with strong disappointment; Gemini gets an A for its YouTube and Google Docs search capability; Perplexity is dismissed and placed low; Manus earns an S for boosting productivity; Whisperflow is praised with an A for daily use in converting “crazy gibberish” into formatted output; Apple Intelligence is rated D‑minus; Claude Code is lauded as “top of the top” for building products via natural‑language prompts; OpenClaw receives an S+++ and is preferred over Claude Code, with the speaker noting he uses it via Claude CLI as an AI agent. He mentions building a company called Apex around these technologies and invites listeners to join a waitlist.
