Automation
n8n Cloud
Node-based workflow automation

VERDICT: REQUIRED
AI Models
OpenRouter
Single API for 200+ AI models
"One API key, access to GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Llama — all with automatic failover. Reduces vendor lock-in and is 30-40% cheaper than direct APIs."
VERDICT: REQUIRED
AI Writing
Jasper AI
Long-form AI content generation
"Best in class for long-form SEO content. I use this for client blog drafts — saves 4 hours per article. The Brand Voice feature is underrated."
VERDICT: USE IT

Voiceflow
Voice & chat AI agent builder
