As an AI partner @a16z , I test dozens of new products a week. But what do I actually use weekly (or even daily!) to make myself more productive? The ten core products that make up my “AI stack” 👇

Comet

Al browser. Comet, by Perplexity, is my new default browser. I use it for basic search and shopping, but also for calendar and email triage. And now, for workflows with the introduction of Shortcuts! | have email and research templates set up in Shortcuts that I trigger on websites to help me write outreach messages or gather info.

My Take

Each of these tools serves a specific purpose in my daily workflow, from research and content creation to communication and data analysis. The key is finding tools that integrate well together and actually save time rather than adding complexity.

What’s interesting is how these AI-native products are starting to replace traditional tools entirely - I predict this trend will accelerate significantly in 2025.
