AI Tool Cheat Sheet.

Which AI for what, what it costs, and what to start with — the no-overwhelm 2026 quick-reference. Stick it on your desktop and stop guessing.

The $20 starter trio — you don't need 40 tools. Most baddies are covered by picking one or two: ChatGPT Plus (~$20/mo, the all-rounder), Claude Pro (~$20/mo, best for writing in your voice + longer docs), and Perplexity Pro (~$20/mo, research with real sources). Start free, upgrade one when you hit a wall.
🧭 Which AI for what
Writing & email
ChatGPT · Claude

Captions, emails, posts, rewrites. Claude tends to sound the most "human"; ChatGPT is the flexible workhorse.

Research & facts
Perplexity

Answers with real, clickable sources — the one to trust when you need something to be true, not just plausible.

Brainstorm & plan
ChatGPT · Claude · Gemini

Ideas, outlines, decisions, weekly plans. Any of the big three; pick the one you already pay for.

Images & graphics
Canva AI · ChatGPT

On-brand social graphics in Canva; quick concept images inside ChatGPT. Great for thumbnails and mockups.

Video
Sora 2 · Veo 3.1 · Kling

Text-to-video for faceless content. InVideo AI (~$25/mo) bundles Sora + Veo in one place for beginners.

AI avatar (be on camera without filming)
HeyGen

Clone yourself once, then type a script and it renders "you" saying it. The faceless-creator secret weapon.

Voiceover
ElevenLabs

Natural AI narration (you can even clone your own voice) for Reels, YouTube, and audiobooks.

Automation & agents
Zapier · Make · n8n

Connect your apps so AI handles repetitive work. Zapier = easiest start; n8n = most powerful.
