As I’ve been working through building my systems, I’m realizing more and more how the boring, slow work of organizing your data makes everything else run so much smoother. My workflow might look a little different than most because I leverage Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude all together. Let me explain how I break it down. No matter what I’m working on, the first place I always start is Gemini. As a quick tip for optimizing your tool stack, starting in Gemini is a huge win because it's included with your Google account, and if you pay for Drive, you get access to a model that is better than the free tier. Using it first for the heavy lifting helps save your paid credits or message limits on ChatGPT and Claude for when you really need them. I use Gemini to dump general ideas or market research, distill them down into something concise, and create structured handoff files. (Always ask for a downloadable .md file vs plain text. This is the format LLM’s use and you can open it in your favorite note app just the same.) From there, I take those files and drop them into ChatGPT or Claude, which is where the heavy lifting happens. Following this process allows me to create much cleaner work. In software engineering, there's a well-known principle: garbage in, garbage out. If the information you feed the system isn’t clear, your outputs aren't going to be clear either. Simply put, the quality of your output is determined by the quality of your input. Nothing mind-blowing, but it's a crucial reminder. A Practical Example To put this into practice, look at how I handle nutritional consulting. I run a mid-tier offer and a high-ticket, high-touch offer. 1. The Gemini Phase: I ask Gemini to pull average pricing and deliverables for these types of services. Then, I feed it my own raw notes. Gemini processes all of this and spits out a clean handoff file. 2. The Execution Phase: I can take that exact handoff file and drop it into ChatGPT to build out the actual client program. Alternatively, I can drop it into Claude to help me code or set up automations—like linking my training app with my CRM, or automating text and email follow-ups.
