The tool landscape in one map

Hundreds of AI tools, four categories:

  • General assistants — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot: drafting, explaining, planning, coding help
  • Search-style AI — Perplexity, AI search modes: answers with sources attached
  • Media generators — image, video, voice, music tools
  • Specialized tools — study apps, transcription, design, code editors with AI inside

You don't need all of them. One good general assistant + one tool for whatever you actually make.

The tool changes monthly; the skill doesn't. Prompting, iterating, verifying — these transfer to whatever ships next year.
