Seriously, I commit to one AI tool, then see recommendations for another new agentic AI product/subscription that is “better” than the rest! AI is wonderful yet overwhelming 😬

Remember, "better is subjective". What's your #1? Claude is my primary, but I subscribe to Chatgpt, Github Copilot, and Hermes as well. It's all going to take a while to settle into place. I'll probably ditch copilot soon, but it was my primary for a couple of years before Claude…
