Key Insight
Start with two or three tools and master them before expanding your stack. Tool sprawl is one of the biggest productivity killers for AI-augmented creatives. Every new tool you add comes with a learning curve, a subscription cost, and context-switching friction. The creatives who get the most from AI are not the ones with the longest tool list — they are the ones who have deeply integrated a small number of tools into their existing workflow. Pick one tool per creative layer (image, text, audio), learn its strengths and limits, and only add a new tool when you hit a genuine capability gap that your current stack cannot cover.
