Reno's AI Productivity

When I want in-depth answers to urgent questions, I use Perplexity more than Google these days. It’s like having your own 24/7 research assistant — I use it to do industry research, competitor analysis, fact-finding, and much more.

High-stakes dealmaking can get complex, making it hard to have a clear understanding of how things are going. Substrata solves this by carefully evaluating all the signals (across your calls and emails) to understand who has the upper hand in a deal — and how to get it if you don’t. My company closed two massive deals this year (both Fortune 500 firms), and I used this tool a ton.

Create infinite presentations, websites, and more in seconds with AI. It’s saved me hundreds of hours already, and the end results always look great.

I use Claude 90% of the time, and ChatGPT just 10%. Why? Claude’s writing sounds more human and is really good at giving easy-to-understand concepts. I use it to get ideas for carousels/infographics and improve my LinkedIn content.

This is the most underrated AI tool right now… You can combine all of your knowledge (PDFs, recordings, blog posts, etc) on a given subject in a single place and get instant hallucination-free answers when you search it. The best part? It’s 100% free (from Google).

Creating walkthroughs and SOPs for new hires is incredibly important—but equally tedious and time-consuming. This is by far the best tool for doing that (and creating any kind of how-to) that I’ve found.
