I typically use it when I have to synthesize lots of data and resources. For videos: -------------- โ€ข Synthesia / HeyGen: Scalable video production. I use these when consistency and speed matter more. For decks: ------------- โ€ข Gamma: Fast deck generation with great AI-native visuals. โ€ข Canva: When I need to create a deck or visuals that need more manual work. For audio: ------------ โ€ข ElevenLabs: Voice layer for content that needs to feel human at scale. I use it for narration in learning content and async communication. For landing pages and quick apps: ----------------------------------------- โ€ข Loveable: Great for creating websites and simple apps โ€ข v0 by Vercel: When itโ€™s a bit more technical, v0 is better than Lovable (above). โ€ข Webflow: For scalable static page generation. I use it to build and iterate on web presence without touching dev resources. For automation and agents: --------------------------------- โ€ข Zapier / Make: For connecting tools and building automated workflows. My go-to for anything that needs to run reliably without intervention. โ€ข n8n: For more complex automation logic where I need full control over data flow and custom integrations. โ€ข Relay App (Agent): For setting up agents and LLM-based workflows faster than n8n. โ€ข GitHub Workflows: For building scalable automations and workflows that run at the code level, using YAML (*.yml / *.yaml). For everyday use: --------------------- โ€ข Google AI Mode: Default for anything research-adjacent that benefits from web grounding. โ€ข Gemini: For long-context work like analyzing documents, large datasets, or extended reasoning chains. โ€ข ClaudeL My daily driver for thinking, writing, and task execution. It's where I do my sharpest work. โ€ข ChatGPT: I use it as a second opinion layer. Running the same prompt through multiple models catches blind spots and biases in any single output. โ€ข Perplexity: Specifically, on mobile for real-world, location-based queries. It's the best at surfacing relevant, current local info quickly.

I hope to get to know my students and be encouraging if nothing else. Practice is essential. If you're looking to learn more about English or Python in a dynamic way, I'm happy to help. I'd love to take questions or other inquiries as well. I want my teaching to be catered to the learner, not vice-versa. I hope to talk with you very soon.
