The A.I. tools I use most
The A.I. I use more than anything else. Chat for strategy and content, Cowork for building agents and automations, and Code for scripting and pipelines. Three tools from the same company.
Try ClaudeOpenAI's flagship A.I. assistant. Strong for ad-hoc tasks, image generation, and quick brainstorms. I keep both Claude and ChatGPT open to triangulate, especially on creative or visual work.
Try ChatGPTA.I.-powered search with live citations. Better than Google for research, competitive analysis, and finding information that needs to be current. I use it before almost every client call and every piece of content.
Try PerplexityA no-code reasoning and workflow platform for building A.I. agents. A fast path from "I want an agent that does X" to testing a working version of that idea.
Try MindStudioAI meeting notes that capture the conversation, decisions, and action items. I've used it to keep useful context from calls.
Try GranolaA.I. voice dictation that works system-wide. I talk, it types clean text into whatever app I'm in, with the punctuation, capitalization, and edits handled automatically. Lets me think out loud and ship faster than typing ever did.
Try Wispr FlowTools for making content
The voice technology behind my A.I. narration. I built my voice clone in ElevenLabs. Useful for turning an approved script into audio, with human review before it goes out.
Try ElevenLabsAI avatar video generation. Em Bee, my AI content avatar, runs on HeyGen. Useful for turning a script into a clearly identified avatar video.
Try HeyGenTurns long-form video into short-form clip candidates. Useful when a conversation already has a strong moment worth sharing. Review the selection, captions, and context before publishing.
Try Opus ClipA tool for preparing, adapting, and scheduling content across social platforms. Useful for keeping a publishing calendar in one place.
Try BlotatoPodcast hosting for the Seed & Society® shows in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Hindi. Its API connects to our episode publishing workflow. A place to start if you're building a podcast production system.
Try CaptivateA.I.-powered course creation platform. Turns existing content and expertise into structured course modules. For founders who want to productize knowledge without rebuilding everything from scratch.
Try AICoursifyThe visual design tool I reach for when I need a graphic fast. Templates for everything: social posts, one-pagers, lead magnets, presentation decks, and Pinterest pins when I'm not running a custom generator. The Pro brand kit is worth it once you have a logo, font stack, and palette to lock down.
Try CanvaTools that keep work moving
Newsletter platform with clean analytics, strong deliverability, and a growing discovery network that helps new newsletters get found. A strong pick if native audience growth and recommendations are your priority.
Try BeehiivThe platform Seed & Society® runs on (formerly ConvertKit). Our newsletter and list run on Kit. Powerful visual automations, granular tagging, and a clean creator network for cross-promotion. If you want your email and your automations in one creator-first place, this is where I'd start.
Try KitThe connective tissue between every tool that doesn't already talk to every other tool. I use it for lightweight glue work, moving form submissions, syncing data between platforms, triggering downstream automations on events.
Try ZapierPinterest scheduling and analytics. An option for organizing approved pins and keeping a publishing calendar without uploading each one at the moment it needs to go out.
Try TailwindTools for building and launching
An AI app builder I've used for assessment tools and product frontends. Describe an idea, build a working version, and refine it as you test.
Try LovableOpen-source backend as a service. Database, auth, storage, and edge functions. I use it as the backend layer for early-stage products. The free tier covers a lot.
Try SupabaseWebsite hosting and serverless functions. An option for taking a site from code to a live URL. Check the current plan and usage limits against what your site actually needs.
Try NetlifyThe hosting platform behind seedandsociety.com. It connects our website's code to the live site and runs the features behind our forms and pages.
Try VercelTools that keep the business running
Checkout and course delivery tools for digital products. An option to evaluate when you need a purchase flow, upsells, or affiliate management.
Try ThriveCartAll-in-one CRM, pipeline, and marketing automation platform built for agencies and service businesses. Replaces multiple tools with one system. Strong for client management, follow-up sequences, and sales pipeline tracking.
Try GHLBusiness formation and registered agent services. Where I recommend founders start when forming their LLC. Clean process and real humans if you need help.
Form Your LLCGmail, Drive, Docs, and Sheets for business. The foundation of every operating system I've built. If you're running a business without a professional email domain, this is the first thing to fix.
Try Google WorkspacePlaces to learn and practice
Jess Ekstrom's 10-week training program for women who want to build a paid speaking business. This is where I refined the keynote. The method is direct: you have a story worth getting paid for, and there's a system for turning that story into a booked, paid keynote, not another free-pizza gig. If you're a founder who speaks (or wants to), this is the program and community worth the investment.
Learn MoreThe community and course platform I recommend when a program needs a home. Clean interface, no algorithm, search that actually works.

Live coaching, a step-by-step course (LinkedIn training included), plug-and-play scripts, and a supportive community, so networking feels natural instead of awkward.

Join Networking SchoolSusie Moore's monthly membership for founders, professionals, and creators who want a coaching cadence without hiring a private coach.
