I don't want to do serious work, so I casually wrote a piece called [My AI User Manual].

----As of November 12, 2025 (Stingy Non-Top-Up Version

1. Preliminary information processing: Don't be afraid of missing useful information, and there's no need to waste time reading motivational quotes.
- NotebookLM, the ultimate reference summarization tool.
- Bilibili videos, you can search for Bilibili text conversion tools.
- Podcasts can use the link conversion tool and then use the universal reading link feature to convert to text.

2. Gemini/gpt does a great job with text output. I try not to use ds (which is more suitable for writing press releases and similar articles). Even when text is AI-assisted, it needs to remove the AI flavor, specifically referring to em dashes, double quotes, and some magical metaphors, etc. As soon as I see it, I feel it's just another compressed article made by AI, very hard to have new viewpoints, and I am not willing to read it at all.

3. Image-based AI is mainly well done by Doubao and Jimeng. Doubao's photo editing is quite impressive; it feels like it can replace other niche photo editing software, but Jimeng creates posters with a very sophisticated feel. By the way, for the PPT niche, use Gamma; other AIs are just average.

4. Claude is a coding artifact, and you should never choose an unsuitable AI to help you write code, such as ds (Armored: current version Ha, now it is recommended that AI must print a timestamp watermark, sometimes you wake up after a sleep and the world has changed), it feels like it's doing more harm than good.

5. Figma is the god of apps, whoever agrees or disagrees! Of course, it only includes the frontend, but it feels amazing to create an interactive app in just a few minutes.

6. Don't limit AI to just handling text for you, but let AI help you get things done. Currently, I'm working on workflows, but I've found that a series of workflow tools like Coze are somewhat limited. If you want to work without constraints, vibe coding is the right way to go. So I'm researching Cursor, and it's still to be explored.

7. Other AIs are flashy, but I haven't found any that are useful to me for now. Feel free to add more.
