In this YouTube commentary, the speaker evaluates a range of AI tools—ChatGPT, Claude Chat, Claude Code, Codex, Perplexity, Grokbot, Gemini, KIMI, Canva, and Higgsfield—by assigning tier grades (S, A, B, C) based on their potential to generate income. The speaker emphasizes that tools capable of delivering end‑to‑end services (design, coding, visual output, video production) are the most lucrative. Codex is highlighted as a top‑ranked, cost‑effective, and faster alternative to Claude Code. Grokbot receives an S‑tier for its ability to manage whole web/app design workflows. Perplexity and KIMI are noted for visual output creation and data‑privacy concerns, respectively. Canva and Gemini are placed in lower tiers due to better alternatives and limited monetization scope. The speaker concludes with strategic advice: focus on selling the final outcome rather than the AI technology behind it, and be mindful of privacy when using platforms that process client data.

Chapters

ChatGPT. S. Charge people to do the work. Anything in the business. It does end-to-end work. Design, creation. Claude Chat. B. You're not going to get paid to solve a problem just using Claude Chat anymore. Claude Code. I'm going to put it A. I'm a fan because you will definitely still get paid to build stuff for people. Easy $100K. Codex. Higher ranked, but it's A. I'm using Codex a lot more than Claude Code lately. It's cheaper, a little bit faster, and it seems to be better quality by about 20%. Perplexity. B. If you want to charge people to create like visual outputs, like PDF strategy documents, slides, Grokbot. So it's S tier because you can sell anything— website design, apps— and have Grokbot manage the whole end-to-end workflow. Gemini. C. Like, what, you're gonna get paid to search YouTube? KIMI. B. It's like, if I found out that I paid somebody and they were using the KIMI model and putting my data through their platform, I'd probably be upset about it. Canva. C. Yeah, I mean, you could use it to create graphic design, but I just think there's better tools. Higgsfield. A. You can do a lot of crazy video stuff and nobody needs to know that you used AI to do it. That's the trick. Sell the outcome, not the AI.
