Every month a new model drops and everybody argues about which one is best. Meanwhile most people keep starting over, rebuilding everything they taught the last tool.
I've spent dozens of hours testing AI across all of my companies, and the pattern is always the same. The people who fall behind are the ones who never built anything underneath the tools.
In this video I walk you through the AI stack I'm actually running right now, what each piece is good at, and how they work together instead of competing.
Stay until the end, because the last part is what keeps you from ever having to start over again.

- ChatGPT Astra: Acts as a desktop-level assistant that takes over your computer to execute multi-step local tasks and workflows in the background.
- Grockbot: An easy-to-use agent platform from xAI that lets you build a specialized virtual team that can learn browser tasks and collaborate autonomously.
- Apex (Second Brain): Centralizes all your personal data and context in one place so you can switch between new AI models instantly without losing memory.
But we can make models work together for better results.
