Don’t adopt all 10 AI tools this week. That’s how AI ends up as a pile of unused subscriptions.
Make your first paid investment Claude, and give it the setup time it deserves. Then add some free AI tools: ChatGPT for strategy, Perplexity for research, Gemini for images. Add the rest as the need shows up in your business, and you can build the full stack for well under $150 a month, less than most agents spend on a single lead-gen subscription.
