I've tested 500+ AI tools in 2 years.

Most are noise. These 8 are the ones I'd keep to start a $1M solo business from scratch.

NotebookLM to learn faster. Notion to organize everything. Descript to create content. Blotato to repurpose it everywhere.

Airtable or GoHighLevel as your CRM. VoiceInk for voice dictation (pay once, keep forever). Claude Code to build systems without code. n8n to automate what works.

No team. No funding. The right stack + something to sell.

8 tools. Zero code.
