How can I use AI to write poems and poetry
Solid tool lineup! The point about picking ONE and using it for 7 days is spot on. I tried juggling four tools at once last year and ended up barely using any effectively. What's interesting is how Notion's AI features have evolved, they're now geniunely useful for synthesizing weekly reviews instead of just spitting generic summaries. The Zapier suggestion reminds me of automation debt though, need to audit those workflows quarterly.
