AI tools I actually use

The handful of tools behind those 124 hours I clawed back last month. Start with one, not ten.

AI Assistant

Claude

The AI I lean on for email drafts, blog writing, and thinking a problem through out loud.

Ken's take

My daily driver. The free trial is plenty to feel the difference on your first real email or blog draft.

AI Employees

Marblism AI assistants

AI assistants that handle social posts, lead follow-up, and repetitive operational work on autopilot.

Ken's take

These are the AI employees that gave me back most of those 124 hours. Start with one role and let it earn its keep.

Foundation

Google Workspace

Real business email, shared docs, and a calendar that doesn't fall over. The plumbing everything else runs on.

Ken's take

Boring but essential. Most owners are still running on a free Gmail and a prayer. Fix this first.

Learn AI

If you'd rather learn it yourself — the training I'd point a friend to.

Training · Platform

AI4B Pro

An all-in-one "AI-powered operating system" for your business — built to grow it without tech skills.

Ken's take

Good if you'd rather have one platform than duct-tape ten tools together yourself.
