Finding Each AI's Place in My Workflow

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 19:28:28 -0500

I’ve stopped trying to pick the ‘best’ AI tool—instead, I’m letting each one find its place in my workflow. Here’s what’s emerged: Codex, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot CLI handle my command-line coding from simple to complex. ChatGPT web is my go-to for image creation (oddly, ChatGPT Desktop lacks this). GitHub Copilot in VSCode crushes code completion. Claude Code and Claude Desktop excel at blog writing with Notion integration.

Each tool has found its niche, and I’m more productive because of it. I’m still exploring how to use AI as a peer for bouncing ideas off, especially in planning mode.

The future isn’t about one AI to rule them all—it’s about orchestrating multiple specialists. How are you integrating AI tools into your workflow? Have you found similar specialization patterns, or are you using a different approach?

Automate Your Blog with Notion and AI: A Self-Demonstrating Workflow

This post you’re reading right now? It was created by an AI reading a to-do item from my Notion database. That’s the power of combining Notion with AI assistants. The problem every blogger faces: brilliant ideas die in the gap between inspiration and execution.

My solution: a Notion to-do list where I capture ideas, and AI assistants (Claude Code and ChatGPT) read from it via Model Context Protocol, generate complete posts, publish them to my Hugo blog, and mark the to-dos complete. It’s self-demonstrating—this very post was created that way. The workflow transforms content creation from manual drudgery into an automated pipeline.

If you’re drowning in blog ideas but low on execution energy, this might be your answer. Are you using Notion for content management? Have you explored AI integrations for your blog?
