Editor’s note: “AI isn’t about to change everything, it’s already here,” James said this week. “And I don’t want to scare you… “But it’s crucial you know everything you can about what’s already here, and what’s coming next.”
As we recover from our redeye flight out of Vegas… We were reminiscing about James’ talk on AI, and wondered if he knew of any tools you could use TODAY to improve your life. And, as it happens, he does.
Below, James reveals a list of some of his favorite AI tools. These tools show the real power AI can have in your daily life. Although they’re just scratching the surface… And a pittance compared to what’s coming… They could change your life. (The “TaxGPT” one blew me away.) Check it out below. Read on.
Some people think “ChatGPT” is like God.
I said to my wife, “I can’t think of a topic for my next book.” She’ll say, “Just ask ChatGPT”.
And she might be right. Or wrong.
ChatGPT is the fastest growing application in history. Going from zero to 100,000,000 users in just 60 days.
And as I mentioned elsewhere, hundreds of applications are being developed using ChatGPT.
Here’s a short list of my favorite AI tools right now. :
Some of My Favorite AI Ideas
The first tool I’ll mention is one I helped make.
It’s an app called proposalgenie.ai. It helps workers on Upwork create proposals for jobs that are posted on Upwork.
Here are some other ideas I love:
Podcastle: Uses AI to make the process of starting and running a professional podcast easier than ever.
VoiceMod: A cool application that allows you to change your voice in real-time.
Dates.ai: The future of dating. Chat with an AI and she will help you find a match.
TimeOS: This AI assistant will manage your meetings, take notes, write action items and follow-up emails.
Builder.io: A next-gen website builder for your business.
ZeroTax.io: A “TaxGPT” bot uses a team of experts to give you fast, accurate answers regarding your taxes.
ChartGPT: An AI tool that converts text into charts. Useful!
Lazy Teacher: Students are already using AI to write their papers. Now teachers can use AI to grade them.
There’s a ton more.
For the full list, check out this website here.
That should be enough to show you the REAL potential of AI.
One final note on your career.
Will AI Make You Obsolete?
Did automobiles take jobs away from horse carriage drivers? Yes but…
Did ATM machines take away jobs from bank tellers? Yes but…
Anything created to increase productivity will grow the economy and create new industries, which will create new companies and new jobs.
Already I see job postings for “prompt engineers” – people who can help direct AI for specific purposes.
I spoke to a graphic designer who designs album covers for bands. He said, “I can do 10 jobs a day now instead of one job a week.” Bands still want to deal with a human.
I spoke to Matt Barrie on my podcast. He is the CEO of Freelancer.com which has 60 million freelancers looking for jobs.
He said since ChatGPT started he’s seen freelancers get more jobs and he’s seen tons of AI startups created that are hiring these freelancers.
We are just at the beginning of this.
When the web was created, nobody would’ve expected the industries that developed around the making of websites, e-commerce, online media, streaming, etc., and the tens of millions of people employed by those industries.
The same will be true for AI. Again, AI is not conscious and it never will be.
But you are.
AI can’t replace humans who are seeking out new unique experiences and new, unique ideas.
Will AI dominate humans and take over?
No!!!
Have an interesting life and you will be the master of AI.
Have. an. Interesting. Life.
Best,

What you may have missed…
A memecoin dinner to monetary strategy. Is Trump crazy, or strategically brilliant?
At first glance, $TRUMP looks like a joke—just another memecoin riding the election cycle. But peel back the layers, and you’ll find something far more serious: programmable stablecoins, tokenised assets, and the foundation of an Alt-Stack being quietly built behind the scenes. This isn’t about crypto hype. It’s about reshaping the financial rails before anyone realises they’ve changed. Read more here…
Quantum Isn’t What They Told You
Quantum computing isn’t just science fiction anymore. It’s real, it’s weird, and it could break the internet as we know it. In this episode, we talk to two quantum insiders—one physicist, one founder—about the truth behind the hype, the risks to crypto, and why your passwords may not be safe for long. Read more here…
Jim Rickards joins Steve Bannon to reveal the real reason behind Trump’s Saudi Arabia visit—and why a “Petrodollar 2.0” might be the most important economic shift of the decade. From oil diplomacy to dollar dominance, this interview explores how a new U.S.-Saudi alliance could reshape currency markets, pressure China, and create ripple effects for investors around the world—including in the UK.

America’s ‘national’ debt rose from less than $6 trillion in 2000 to over $37 trillion now. The US trade deficit rose to $1.1 trillion over the last 12 months — 10 times more than it was 2000. Read more here…
From Oil to Algorithms: Trump invokes the spectre of Roosevelt
Eighty years ago, Roosevelt secured America’s oil future with a secret handshake in the Middle East. Now, I believe Trump is trying to do the same—with AI. In this piece, I break down what I saw behind the headlines of his latest trip, why compute is the new crude, and what this shift could mean for UK investors like you. Read more here…
