At some point this year, I realized something slightly absurd: I now have as many paid AI subscriptions as I do streaming services.

ChatGPT only launched to the public in late 2022\. It hasn't even been three years, and AI tools have gone from "interesting demo" to "things I pay monthly for and would genuinely miss if they disappeared," at a pace that streaming services took a decade to reach.

Here's roughly what's in my current stack, and what each one actually does for me:

ChatGPT is still my daily driver, general thinking, drafting, problem-solving across both business and personal life.

Claude (Anthropic) is where I go for more nuanced writing and longer-form thinking, anything that needs a more careful, considered output.

Perplexity has become my default for search. When I need an answer with sources, not just a generated response, this is where I go first. Google has become a backup, not a habit.

Fathom is an AI meeting assistant that's quietly become one of the highest-value tools in my stack. More on that another time.

Midjourney handles image generation when I need visuals for content or just want to see an idea rendered.

Suno is for AI-generated music, admittedly more of a fun/experimental one, but genuinely impressive.

Notion functions as my "second brain," increasingly AI-assisted for organizing and surfacing my own notes and projects.

What strikes me isn't any single tool. It's the *speed* at which "having an AI stack" went from novelty to normal. A few years ago, paying for one AI tool felt experimental. Now, having several feels as unremarkable as having Netflix, Spotify, and Disney+ all running at once.

The interesting question isn't whether you'll end up with an AI stack. It's which tools earn a permanent spot in yours, and how quickly that list keeps changing.
