Which AI should
you open?
No single AI does everything. The operators who get the most out of AI use each tool for what it's best at, and they let Profit Mind AI make the business decisions the others can't. Here's the map.
The principle
One rule keeps it clean.
If it's about you, not the business, it goes to Perplexity.
Your business AIs (Profit Mind AI, Claude, ChatGPT) only ever see business context. Everything personal, and any throwaway fact-check, stays in Perplexity, out of their memory. That's the whole reason for the split.
How they work together
Your typical business flow.
The tools relay, each handing off to the next.
Perplexity sits off to the side as the personal AI and quick fact-checker, kept out of the business AIs' memory.
In practice
The loops you actually run.
Real work bounces between tools. These are the common round-trips.
Strategise → verify → build. A plan makes a claim; check the number or market fact before you commit, then build it out.
Research → build. Set ChatGPT Work running, then bring the findings into Cowork to actually make something with them.
Build → rethink → build. Mid task you hit a strategic fork, so you step out to Profit Mind AI for the call, then back to Cowork to carry on.
