I’m always curious what tools other bloggers are actually using day-to-day. Not what people say they use — what they ACTUALLY use.
Here’s my honest current stack:
WRITING & CONTENT:
- Claude Pro — My main writing assistant. Best for long-form content and maintaining consistent tone.
- ChatGPT Plus — Brainstorming, outlines and quick tasks.
RESEARCH:
- Perplexity AI — My go-to for research. The source citations are invaluable.
IMAGE CREATION:
- Canva AI — Blog featured images and social graphics. So easy to use.
- Midjourney — When I need something really unique or artistic.
SEO:
- ChatGPT — Keyword research and meta descriptions.
- Ubersuggest — Still using this alongside AI.
SOCIAL MEDIA:
- ChatGPT — Repurposing blog content for different platforms.
- Buffer — Scheduling (not AI but part of the stack!)
TOTAL MONTHLY COST: Around ₹3,500
MONTHLY INCOME FROM BLOG: ₹12,000+
ROI: Very much worth it! 😄
Now your turn! What’s YOUR AI stack?

Interesting topic! Over the past year, I’ve realized that having fewer AI tools with a clear purpose is far more effective than constantly chasing every new tool that gets released.
My current AI stack is fairly simple:
🧠 ChatGPT – Brainstorming ideas, creating detailed outlines, generating FAQs, and helping me structure long-form content.
✍️ Claude AI – Improving readability, rewriting awkward paragraphs, and making my writing feel more natural and conversational.
🔎 Perplexity AI – Quick research and fact-checking before I start writing.
🎨 Canva AI – Creating simple blog graphics, thumbnails, and social media visuals.
As a freelance writer, I’ve also learned an important lesson: don’t let AI replace your voice.
I no longer ask AI to “write an entire blog post.” Instead, I break the process into smaller tasks:
This workflow has dramatically improved both my productivity and the quality of my content.
One thing I’ve noticed is that ChatGPT and Claude complement each other surprisingly well. ChatGPT is excellent for organizing ideas and building structure, while Claude often produces smoother, more reader-friendly edits.
The biggest shift for me has been treating AI as a co-pilot rather than an autopilot. The human element—personal experience, opinions, and storytelling—is still what makes content stand out.
Curious to see how everyone else’s AI stack evolves over the next year. AI tools are changing so quickly that our “essential toolkit” today may look completely different a year from now. 🚀
My AI stack for writing content is Grammarly + Hemingway + Claude. Before this, my writing felt stiff and had too many long, confusing sentences. Grammarly fixed small grammar mistakes I kept missing, Hemingway helped me shorten sentences and improve readability, and Claude helped me rewrite awkward paragraphs so they sound more natural. Together, these tools solved my biggest issues, inconsistent tone and clunky sentences. My content reads smoother now, and editing time has also reduced a lot compared to before.
@LinkBlogs My AI stack is pretty similar honestly…
Haven’t gotten into AI video much yet, still testing Pictory for repurposing blog content into short clips. For promotion, I just use ChatGPT to reshape posts for LinkedIn/Twitter and schedule with Buffer.
Before AI, honestly, one blog post used to eat up my whole day, research, writing, editing, images, everything separately. Now the same thing takes maybe 2 hours and reads better too. Biggest difference is I spend more time thinking and less time typing now.
