Everyone is sharing their “top 47 AI tools.”
That’s adorable.
If I had to actually make money this week, here’s what I’d use and what I’d ignore.
Because AI isn’t about being impressed.
It’s about removing friction.
This is the exact stack I use to create content, stay visible, and not burn out while doing it.
The rule I use for every AI tool
Here’s my filter:
If a tool doesn’t help me create output in under 10 minutes, it’s a toy.
AI should replace one of three things:
Thinking
Filming
Organizing
If it doesn’t do at least one of those?
Hard pass.
The only AI tools I’d use if I was starting over
This is my real stack not a roundup, not a sponsorship dump.
Krea - My “AI twin”
This is where everything starts.
I use Krea to train a realistic version of me so I don’t have to be on camera every day.
It replaces:
Filming fatigue
Outfit decisions
“I don’t feel like recording today” excuses
What I can create in under 10 minutes:
Photoreal images
Brand-style visuals
Consistent “me” content without re-recording
Who it’s for:
Creators who want scale without being glued to their phone.
Glam - Turn my twin into scenes + motion
This is where the magic happens.
I take my Krea twin and drop her into:
Lifestyle scenes
UGC-style content
Moving visuals that don’t feel AI-cringey
It replaces:
Filming B-roll
Re-shoots
Needing a studio or perfect lighting
If you hate filming but still want content that moves, this is your tool.
HeyGen — Voice + video variations
HeyGen is how I scale.
I use it to:
Create multiple versions of the same video
Add voice when I don’t want to record
Repurpose one idea into several formats
It replaces:
Re-recording
Editing rabbit holes
Starting from scratch every time
This one’s for when I want presence.
Higgsfield is how I create cinematic, high-impact visuals when I want my content to feel elevated not casual, not chaotic.
Think:
Brand authority
Founder energy
“She knows what she’s doing” vibes
Use this when you want to stand out.
Canva AI - The glue
This is the underrated workhorse.
I use Canva AI for:
Hooks
Overlays
Thumbnails
Resizing everything for every platform
It replaces:
Design overwhelm
Switching tools
Overthinking presentation
Boss Uncut - Learning without spiraling
Tools don’t make money.
Knowing how to use them does.
Boss Uncut is where I actually learned how to:
Use these tools strategically
Create workflows instead of chaos
Stop buying software and not using it
This replaces rage-quitting 😅
The exact workflow I’d use this week
If I had to start from zero, here’s what I’d do:
Train my AI twin once
Create 5 short videos in Glam
Add hooks + overlays in Canva
Repurpose across platforms
Let affiliates + links do the work
That’s it.
No content calendar from hell.
No 12-step strategy doc.
Just output.
The truth about AI (that no one says out loud)
AI doesn’t grow your business.
Execution does.
AI just removes the friction that stops you from showing up consistently.
If you want the shortcuts:
The prompts
The hooks
The scripts that actually convert
I bundled what I use so you don’t have to reinvent it.
Work less. Create smarter. Let AI handle the heavy lifting.

Over the next year, Roku predicts that 100% of the streaming audience will see ads. For growth marketers in 2026, CTV will remain an important “safe space” as AI creates widespread disruption in the search and social channels. Plus, easier access to self-serve CTV ad buying tools and targeting options will lead to a surge in locally-targeted streaming campaigns.
Read our guide to find out why growth marketers should make sure CTV is part of their 2026 media mix.
PS
AI isn’t about doing more.
It’s about building a lighter business that still makes money.
That’s the entire philosophy behind The Entrepreneur Edit.
