The 4 AI Tools That 10x My Productivity—And How You Can Use Them Too

Plus: How China’s DeepSeek Just Shattered the AI Game for Only $6M

Nine months versus three years. That's the difference AI made in writing my Little Book of Big Reasons to Love America, not by replacing my voice but by amplifying it.

While people debate AI's future, I've been quietly using it to collapse timelines and expand possibilities during my daily 5:30 AM writing sessions—with an AI assistant who never needs that first cup of coffee.

Imagine having a research team that works at the speed of thought, an editor who catches every nuance, and an art director who can materialize your visions instantly. That's not science fiction—it's my daily reality.

The book has pictures from my personal archives and AI-generated illustrations that are hard to distinguish from real-life photos.

And it’s not a Sci-Fi robot doing that in a movie; it’s a real-life technology at the fingertips of every human on Earth.

What's really mind-bending: this week, Chinese company DeepSeek shattered the billion-dollar AI paradigm.

They built a ChatGPT-level model for just $6 million—without NVIDIA's most powerful chips. The result? A $600 billion market cap drop for NVIDIA in a single day. The AI race just got democratized.

The brutal truth is that AI will eliminate millions of jobs. But that's only half the story. The other half? This is an unprecedented opportunity for those who see AI as a force multiplier rather than a replacement for human talent.

While others worry about AI taking their jobs, the real risk is being outpaced by those who master it. I've tested dozens of AI tools, but three have transformed my workflow so dramatically that going back would feel like trading a smartphone for a carrier pigeon.
