AI That Works with Me: Full Series of 10 Tools is HERE


(1) What’s the job to be done?

I’m seeking deep analysis or a consulting-style output for a complex question.

These are use cases where, before LLMs, I would have used Google to get individual pieces of the puzzle, but I’d have had to do most of the work pulling together the analysis. Or perhaps I’d have asked a junior analyst to complete the analysis, usually waiting hours or, more likely, days or weeks for the team to provide the answer.

The type of work usually reserved for CXOs who can pay for external consutling teams or internal bus ops teams.

Therefore, this is a net-new use case in many ways, where AI democratizes access to more advanced analysis. Today, CXOs and business leaders get to work with bus ops and PMM teams, but 99% of professionals don’t have this privilege. AI advancements are now changing this fast.

(2) What’s my tool of choice?

I use Google’s Gemini 1.5 with Deep Research the most, although I usually run the same analysis with OpenAI’s ChatGPT o1-Pro with Deep research and Deep Seek R1 simultaneously.

[BTW, don’t get me started on the complexity of the model names ;)]

(3) Why do I love Gemini 1.5 with Deep Research?

How thorough and thoughtful - thoroughtful ;) - the answers are.

In some of the answers below about who Google should acquire and who’ll be the first $10T market cap company, the answers not only link out to hundreds of sources but also break down the question into all the same categories as an analyst would.

As an example of breaking down the problem, for the “Who should Google acquire?” question, here are Gemini’s categories:

  1. Strategic Fit
  2. Synergies
  3. Global Reach
  4. Growth Potential
  5. Regulatory Hurdles
