📖 Articles of the Week
Inflection AI’s chatbot Pi surpasses 1 million daily active users. Pi is an emotionally intelligent chatbot that can be used for mental health support.
This Microsoft-backed AI powerhouse announced a major upgrade to their core AI technology. This new and improved system, called Inflection-2.5, is ready to go rival with industry giants like OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Google’s Gemini.
🛠️ AI Tool of the Week
My old setup – Notion, Trello, ChatGPT, Slack – was well-intentioned, but it became a productivity black hole. It wasn’t just the tool-switching that bogged me down; it was the mental overhead of trying to remember which tool held what information. The context switching was brutal!
Enter Taskade . It’s honestly the closest I’ve come to that “one tool to rule them all” dream for my solopreneur life. Here’s why it’s been such a game-changer:
- Goodbye context switching: Switching between tasks and projects on different platforms used to throw off my focus completely. Taskade’s flexible views mean I can jump between a task list for one project to a brain dump mind map for another without losing my train of thought.
- AI agents as my always-available team: I’ve set up AI agents that feel like specialized assistants. One tackles my marketing copy, generating ideas and variations with the right tone of voice. Another acts as my brainstorming buddy, helping me flesh out content ideas. And I even have one trained on my target audience, challenging my assumptions and keeping my work relatable.
- Mind maps that untangle my brain: Mind maps are my new jam! They’ve replaced my sprawling Notion docs. Instead of getting lost in notes, a project starts with a visual map. I can see the big picture, assign tasks (to myself or collaborators), and even ask the AI to expand on sections that need more detail.
- Automations that feel like magic: Taskade’s AI-powered automations are surprisingly easy to set up. It’s not the level of customization you’d find in a dedicated tool like Zapier, but they get the job done. My favorite? When I finish a piece of content, it pings my social media workspace, creating a draft post with the relevant links already included.
Honestly, Taskade feels like the tool I wished I’d built myself. It’s replacing a whole suite of others, yet the integration is smooth. That’s the thing my video ideation & creation AI tool VidPilot taught me – creators want convenience, to focus on their work, not on tool juggling. Taskade offers that. It may not have every advanced feature each of those old tools did individually, but for my solopreneur needs, it’s more than enough, and the all-in-one workflow is worth its weight in gold!
Practical Use Case: How I Used Taskade to Revamp Creators Copilot’s Website Offerings
Recently, I tackled overhauling the way we present our products on the Creators Copilot website. It was a bit messy, so I turned to Taskade to bring some order to the chaos. Here’s what I did:
1- Mind Mapping the Mess
- Dumped the old structure: I started with a mind map, throwing in all the existing offerings, their features, and their pricing. It wasn’t pretty, but it helped visualize the problem areas.
- AI to the rescue: I asked Taskade’s AI agent to suggest ways to simplify our tiers. It offered some surprisingly helpful ideas, forcing me to rethink what was truly essential.
2- Building the New Structure
- Clean slate: I created a new branch on the map called “Ideal Offerings.” This is where I envisioned the perfect product breakdown.
- Tier brainstorming: Using Taskade’s AI prompts, I brainstormed different pricing tiers and potential bundle options.
- Collaboration: I invited my CMO into the workspace and used comments to discuss the best ways to phrase the benefits of each tier.
3 – From Plan to Action
- Task breakdown: Each section of the map became a task – “Write copy for Basic Tier,” “Design pricing table graphic,” etc. I assigned these with deadlines to myself and the team.
- Design handoff: Taskade’s export feature let me give our web designer a well-organized outline instead of my usual cryptic notes.
4- It’s Not Over
- Tracking updates: We’ll use Taskade as our central hub for tracking how the new offerings perform. I’ve set reminders to analyze sales data and update the website copy as needed.
- Automation potential: I’m still exploring Taskade’s automations but might set one up to alert me when we get close to feature limits on certain tiers, prompting me to adjust plans accordingly.

🤖 GPT of the Week
This ‘Hidden’ ChatGPT Version is a Speed Demon (and It’s From OpenAI!)
If you love the power of GPT-4 but miss the lightning-fast responses of the early days, you’re not alone. OpenAI actually offers a streamlined version called ChatGPT Classic, and it’s a hidden gem for anyone who wants a focused, text-based AI experience. Don’t confuse this with the older ChatGPT 3.5 – Classic is still powered by GPT-4, just without the bells and whistles.
Why Classic? It Cuts Through the Noise
While features like browsing and file uploads sound amazing in theory, I often find them clunky and prone to slowing down responses. ChatGPT Classic strips all that away. It’s purely about text generation – ask a question, get an answer, no distractions.
This laser-focus is fantastic when you need quick inspiration, want to refine your writing, or just brainstorm without the processing lag of the newer models. Think of it like a productivity booster for your thought process.
Give it a Spin & See the Difference
If you crave the original speed and directness of GPT-4, ChatGPT Classic is worth a try. Sometimes, the original recipe is the best!

Unlocking Your AI’s Prompting Potential
Here’s how to use your AI [ Any Text Generator ] to supercharge your prompts:
- Prompt Generation: Stuck for ideas? Ask AI to generate prompts directly. (e.g., “Generate five prompts for a blog post about the future of AI in education.”)
- Direct Request with Templates: Need a detailed itinerary? Use a template like, “As a travel expert, how would you plan a culturally immersive week in Japan for a first-time visitor?”
- Refine Your Prompts: Transform lackluster prompts. Ask AI to make them more engaging and specific. (e.g., “Can you improve this prompt: ‘Write about the history of bicycles’?”)
- Style Swap: Change the tone or style of your prompts to match your desired output. Start with, “Describe a sunset,” and ask AI, “Can you rewrite this prompt to emphasize the emotional impact of watching a sunset alone?”
- The ‘What If?’ Wonderland: Start with a quirky idea like, “A picture of a cat wearing a detective hat,” and challenge AI, “Generate several creative prompts for a children’s story based on this image.”
