   I don't actively seek out AI coded tools. I continue what I am doing because AI is now added to almost everything. A good example is Overdrive which is a library ebook app. It has added more AI. Also, search engines like Google, AI is added automatically. Eventually the tools get added. Your refrigerator if it has the internet of things is probably a fusion tool with AI. Excel has Microsoft Copilot 365 now.

   I replaced Figma with Claude SVG magic. I am very bad at design and have no taste, but it somehow managed to create this skill that continuously gives me images for my project thumbnails mechanically (not AI-generated images).

   Not quite what you asked, but I’ve swapped out a lot of paid software for open-source self-hosted software recently. I wouldn’t have started self-hosting if it wasn’t for Claude reducing the maintenance and configuration burden. MCP helps too (I’d take a janky tool that integrates with Claude over something polished that requires me to install their app any day).

   A few examples: Obsidian, 1Password, Monarch (finance app), Netflix, Spotify. At work, Pendo.

   Of course I’m also paying for a Max plan so I’m not really saving any money :-) sure is nice to be in control of my data though and be able to extend, add new features and integrate as I please.
