The Top 3 Tools I Have Used Most In August

Andrew Miles Davis wraps up a deliberately quieter August, using the extra time away from training to properly test three tools that shaped his month outside of his permanently retired ChatGPT and Whisper Flow. Claude Design handled the full front end of his new website, thestorylensmethod.com, built from a rough description in under an hour, and impressed him further with animation capabilities he plans to bring to LinkedIn content given the cost and complexity of sourcing motion graphics manually. Codex handled the back end, hosting the site directly and removing the traditionally fiddly process of domain purchasing, hosting, and name server configuration. Copilot rounds out the three, with Andrew revisiting a tool he had previously written off after a poor experience with Gemini and Sheets, now praising its native integration across Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, particularly for small formatting tasks he can now handle entirely by voice given his RSI.
