Ruben Hassid's AI tool list - how many AI tools will people actually use?

June 9, 2025 — Ruben Hassid, one of today’s leading AI influencers (known for his tagline “Master AI before it masters you”), recently shared on LinkedIn the 8 AI websites he actually uses daily — and for what purpose.

His list offers an interesting window into how power users are integrating AI across content creation, productivity, and personal brand building:

1. Gamma (gamma.app)Replaces Google Slides / PowerPoint.ChatGPT-powered slide creation with free plan available.

2. ChatGPT (chat.openai.com)Ruben calls it “Google with a brain + knows me perfectly.”Used for deep reasoning, fast search, PDF summaries, and image generation.Free and Pro ($20/month).

3. Claude (claude.ai)Used for writing with a customized style.Ruben favors Opus-4 for extended thinking and writing flow.$20/month.

4. Midjourney (midjourney.com)Replaces blog designers and manual image creation.Generates visually striking images from text.Starts at $10/month.

5. Ideogram (ideogram.ai)Used via API for pixel-perfect images with embedded text.Cost: $0.04 per image.

6. EasyGen (easygen.io)Replaces ghostwriters and copywriters.Specifically trusted by Ruben for LinkedIn post creation.Free trial available.

7. Opus Clip (opus.pro)Replaces manual video editing.Automatically cuts long videos into short viral clips.Free trial available.

8. Synthesia (synthesia.io)Replaces camera, mic, editing software.Generates avatar-based videos with synthetic voice and visual.Starts at $22/month.

TheMarketAI.com Take:Lists like this one are very helpful in showcasing what’s possible today with specialized AI tools — and which tools are currently best-in-class for each task.

However, it’s probably not realistic for most users to actively manage and integrate 8 different AI sites into their daily workflows — unless they’re true AI power users like Ruben Hassid.

As the saying goes, “easy is better than free.” For the average user, juggling multiple tools can quickly become distracting and inefficient. We believe that over time, most users will settle into using 2–3 general-purpose AI platforms regularly (such as ChatGPT or Claude), with occasional use of more niche tools for specific needs (e.g. video editing, advanced image generation, or presentation design).

The market will likely evolve toward consolidation of core functions into fewer, more integrated tools — while highly specialized AI apps will continue to serve niche, professional workflows.
