An opinionated guide to which AI to use to do stuff
The Summer 2026 Edition
Every few months, I write a guide for people who want to use AI to do stuff. This time, a lot has changed, in part because what it means to “use AI to do stuff” encompasses so much more “stuff” than it used to. Until recently, using AI meant talking to a model through a chatbot in a constant back-and-forth conversation. Now, it means using an agentic system, where the AI is capable of doing the equivalent of many hours of real human work in one go by combining the brains of an AI model with a set of tools that let it plan and act for you. Basically, an agentic system gives an AI a computer to use.

I have found it to be very useful. It helped me parse Mr wtg's rapidly evolving and complex medical situation earlier this year; I could never have figured out on my own what it did for me in seconds.
