You don't need 47 different AI tools. You need three. Most solo creators bury themselves in feature-bloat when simplicity is the actual competitive advantage.

I used to flip between ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, some obscure scraper tool, and honestly lost track of half of them. Then I realized something: I was spending energy choosing tools instead of using them.
So I cut ruthlessly. Kept only what moved work forward. What I found is that three tools, used deep, beat ten tools used shallow.
The stack I use now: One for thinking (ChatGPT), one for research (Perplexity), one for building (Make.com for automation). That's it. Everything else is noise.

Here's why it matters: Every tool you learn is cognitive load you can't spend on work. By staying minimal, you stay sharp. You know your tools so well that you start seeing workflows everywhere.
