We highlighted how Perplexity’s combination of search and LLMs is giving busy professionals real leverage—saving time on everything from research to product recommendations. We also unpacked the role of user experience in driving adoption, drawing comparisons to tools like Tana, Linear, and Final Cut Pro. From the rise of contextual AI browsers like Comet to the broader conversation around cloud-based workflows, we broke down why understanding your own processes is key to adopting new tools. If you're curious about how AI agents will shape your future productivity system, this is a must-listen.

We unpacked how tools like Heptabase and ClickUp serve very different purposes within the ICOR® framework, and why trying to use one tool for everything usually leads to chaos. We highlighted why PKM needs to be a private space for your thinking and ideation, while BKM is designed for shared, team-accessible information. Solopreneurs, we’ve got you too—starting with a BKM mindset from day one will set you up to scale effortlessly later. We also addressed the rising demand for collaborative features in PKM tools like Heptabase, and why it's critical to stay focused on the core use case of a tool. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by juggling tools like Tana, Obsidian, Miro, or Heptabase, this episode helps you simplify your stack with clarity and purpose.
