90% of people = Same generic prompts everywhere
10% who understand = 10x better results
I spent 732 days burning through AI subscriptions.
Testing every tool. Breaking every feature.
Because immigrant mathematics taught me: Wrong tool = Wasted time.
I watched a founder last week copy-paste the same prompt into 4 different tools.
Got 4 mediocre outputs.
"AI isn't that smart," he said.
No. You're using a hammer for brain surgery.
Here's what Big4 consulting taught me about tools:
You don't use Excel for presentations.
You don't use PowerPoint for data analysis.
The same logic applies to AI.
CHATGPT → Your patient instructor
Talk to it like a teacher who needs context
"Explain this concept with examples."
"Break down this complex topic."
Perfect for: Learning, explaining, creating educational content
PERPLEXITY → Your fact-checking analyst
Treat it like your research department
"Find recent data on..."
"What are the latest trends in..."
Perfect for: Market research, competitive analysis, verified facts
GROK → Your brutally honest friend
The one who tells you what others won't
Direct. Unfiltered. Real-time X data.
"What's the real sentiment about..."
Perfect for: Social listening, trend spotting, reality checks
GEMINI → Your strategic project manager
Speaks Google's language fluently
"Create a project plan for..."
"Optimize this for search..."
Perfect for: SEO content, Google ecosystem integration, structured planning
The plot twist nobody sees:
While everyone's asking, "Which AI is best?"
You're askin,g "Which AI for THIS specific task?"
My 4-step system for AI tool mastery:
1. Match the tool to the task
→ Need facts? Perplexity
→ Need creativity? ChatGPT
→ Need real-time social data? Grok
→ Need Google integration? Gemini
2. Speak their language
→ ChatGPT: Conversational, detailed context
→ Perplexity: Specific queries, data-focused
→ Grok: Direct questions, no fluff
→ Gemini: Structured requests, project-oriented
3. Layer your approach
→ Research with Perplexity first
→ Develop ideas with ChatGPT
→ Validate sentiment with Grok
→ Structure output with Gemini
4. Document what works
→ Save your best prompts per tool
→ Build your prompt library
→ Iterate based on results
Because here's the thing:
Your competitors are still debating whether they should use AI.
You're mastering WHICH AI to use WHEN.
That gap? That's your competitive moat.
The immigrant mathematics is simple:
Right tool + Right prompt = Exponential results
Wrong tool + Generic prompt = Wasted potential
Stop treating AI like one thing.
Start treating it like an orchestra.
Different instruments. Different sounds.
Master conductor? Unstoppable symphony.
💠Which AI tool have you been using wrong this whole time?
