AI collection

Stop guessing which tools are worth it.

Every "best AI tools" list is an ad. Gus picks from a hand-vetted bank of tools, workflows, and skills that save time. Three questions, three picks.
Gus only recommends from his vetted database. Getting in means passing a specific standard built on the Lindy effect: widely sold, positively reviewed, and still useful years later. He isn't searching the whole internet, he's ranking a curated bank against what you told him. How the database works →
