Greetings, Heroes In case you haven’t heard, OpenAI just unleashed GPT-5, and I’ve been putting it through its paces these past few days. Let’s just say… it’s faster, smarter, and way more versatile than anything we’ve had before, and yes, I found a way to make it build an actual playable game inside ChatGPT. I just posted a new video in our brand-new AI News & Trends section that walks you through: - What’s changed (and why it matters) - How the new unified intelligence system works - The biggest ChatGPT platform upgrades rolling out alongside GPT-5 - A few fun experiments you’re going to want to try for yourself The best part? You can start using GPT-5 right now, even on the free plan. 🎯 Watch the video here Have you started playing with GPT-5 yet? What do you think so far? — Taylan 🧙‍♂️🔮

Really excited for this. I just put the finishing touches and deployed my first AI Bot. It's nothing fancy, but it solves a problem. It's a bot that monitors contact form submissions from my website and sends me a summarized message via Whatsapp that I have a new submission. Then it sends an automated templated response to the potential client after a 3 minute delay with a thank you for your interest, a look at the first step process, and an action item that I will get back to them within 24 hours. It saves me from constantly having to check a third email and worrying that I missed one. Best part, my first web client is already requesting to integrate it into their website as well. Enjoying the ride and ready to solve the next problem.

I finally received my first check for my business! It was for a just a website, but the client is loving the possibilities and wanting some AI integrations and bots as soon as I can create them. The validation is huge. Excited for what’s next.

I did my hero scroll today. And I found out some things about myself. I found out that a lot of the people that wanna help. I'm not much different from them. I deal with a lot of stress. I feel overworked. It seemed like rest will never come , but I want to give him a moment rest a moment of peace. As I read my hero scroll, I could see myself and I was so surprised because all I said is what I wanted to do, but I also see the possibilities of what I could be what I could become. If I really push myself if I work hard not for someone else but for myself this time.. That I could help those around me and build wealth for my family in friends. Today was a big day for me and I wanted to share up with those who are, it's gonna become what new circle friends for me.

Since a few people have asked me what AI tools I use for brainstorming and story development, I wanted to share my go-to tools with the community for creative ideation, writing, and research—along with what each one does best (in my experience). 🔱 𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐊 (𝗺𝘆 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘄) - ChatGPT – Best for structure, flow, and outlining - Claude – Intuitive with tone, nuance, and emotional resonance - Perplexity – Excellent for real-time research, citations, and surfacing overlooked details These three cover 95% of my creative and strategic needs—whether I’m building long-form content, video scripts, or concept frameworks. 🌀 𝐎𝐂𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐆𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐒 - Gemini – Occasionally surfaces unique phrasing, but often shallow; tends to regurgitate mainstream content - Grok – Can surprise you with left-field or unconventional insights, but very hit-or-miss - Copilot – Task-oriented; great for code or documentation, but not made for ideation 🧪 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐃𝐈𝐃𝐍'𝐓 𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐊 (𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 “𝐛𝐚𝐝,” 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰) - Jasper – Built on GPT-4 + Claude. Strong team but the UX didn’t click. - Sudowrite – Started with OpenAI; now blends in their own model (Muse). Didn’t vibe with the interface. - Pi – Runs on Inflection’s in-house model. Friendly, but too slow and chatty. - You.com – A hybrid of their own models and GPT-4. Good on paper; scattered in practice. 🧠 Note: Most of these tools use similar underlying models. The real differentiator is interface, speed, and workflow. If it doesn’t amplify your process, it’s probably not the right tool for you. 🗃️ 𝐌𝐘 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐖 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐊 - Ideate in ChatGPT - Expand/refine in Claude or Perplexity - Archive and organize in Notion as my System of Record 🏹 𝐏𝐑𝐎 𝐓𝐈𝐏 If you’re using Taylan’s QuestOS (Notion Command Center), these tools slot in perfectly during the Clarity → Create phases. I treat ChatGPT like a creative co-pilot, then migrate insights into my Quest vault for refinement or reuse.
