Your AI tool isn't broken. Your brain might just need a different one

Hello Reader,

The best AI tool isn’t the most popular one.

It’s the one that matches how your brain actually works.

Dominic Caruba, ADHD solopreneur and sales veteran, learned this the hard way.

Why This Matters

Dominic’s insight unlocks something most solopreneurs overlook when choosing AI tools.

The wrong tool doesn’t just slow you down — it actively works against you.

Picking the right stack means understanding your own cognitive style first.

Then the technology follows.

How an ADHD Brain Builds a Smarter AI Stack

1. Claude over ChatGPT: Dominic switched because Claude gives direct answers without the endless suggestions that trigger tangential thinking — a real productivity killer for ADHD brains.
2. Specialist AIs beat generalist ones: He uses dedicated marketing AIs built on Alex Hormozi’s and Frank Kern’s methodologies for emails and landing pages, because domain-specific training consistently outperforms generic prompting.
3. Leveraging Google Docs: Dominic pastes long AI outputs into a Google Doc with tabs to avoid endless scrolling and keep multiple threads organised without losing context.
4. AI as co-author, not ghostwriter: Dominic’s approach — AI drafts the structure, he adds the stories live on LinkedIn — is a practical content strategy that plays to ADHD strengths.

Pro Tip

Setapp is my hidden Mac weapon.

One subscription starting at $10/month that includes Bartender, CleanShotX, CleanMyMac, NotePlan, Ulysses, WhisperTranscribe, and 240+ other apps — including tools I was already paying for separately.

This blew Dominic's mind when he discovered it during the episode.
