Insanely Cool Tools - Substack Edition #22
Best tools in your pocket! 📱
Hello! 👋
Today I have a question for you!
Do you have a side gig? Maybe it’s grown into your full-time job? Or maybe you only have a full-time job right now and want to start a side gig?
I just want to understand my audience better. ✌️
P.S. A side gig is a flexible, secondary job or freelance project designed to generate extra income outside your primary career, whether you have a few hours a week or want to build something scalable.
I’ve worked for myself my whole life, and I like it more every year.
You work a lot, but you choose when to do it. I’m grateful I get to spend more time with family because of it. ❤️

🔥Trending Tools
Goldfish
Most AI tools make you explain the context before they can help. This one remembers what you’ve been working on across your Mac, then helps you write better from any app.
Honestly
Surfaces real conversations about your product from across social media, verifies they’re authentic, and turns them into insights you can act on in minutes - by analyzing every relevant post on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, and X.
WorkClaw
AI coworkers who work in Slack and Microsoft Teams, just like every other colleague. They’re fully customizable, learning skills and routines to get work done your way - unlike most AI products that pair one person with one assistant.
Dopami

Just f***ing send it

Connects your sleep, sunlight, exercise, calories, nutrition, mood, hydration, and more, correlates them against each other, then tells you exactly what it means for your body.
Wobo
An AI-powered job search assistant. Automating applications and finding matches tailored to your skills, Wobo makes job hunting effortless.
Upstream
