AI Tool Stack
Guide

A one-page reference for every tool used across the course. Keep this open while you work through the modules.

Claude

Free & paid tiers

Your main writing, research, and strategy partner across the whole course — CV rewrites, cover letters, proposals, client communication, interview practice, and workflow automation. Where you’ll spend most of your AI time.

Used in: Modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11

Perplexity

Free & paid tiers

Your research tool for anything that needs current, sourced information: salary benchmarks, company research, industry keyword trends, and what remote job descriptions are actually asking for right now.

Used in: Modules 4, 5, 6, 8

Canva AI

Free tier is enough

For anything visual: CV templates, LinkedIn banners, and presentation design. “Magic Write” drafts short text directly inside templates, so you don’t need separate design skills to look professionally put-together.

Used in: Modules 4, 5

Otter.ai

Free tier is enough

Records and transcribes practice interviews and calls, so you can review your own answers afterward and spot filler words, rambling, or weak spots before the real thing.

Used in: Module 6

A note on cost

Every tool in this stack has a usable free tier. None of the module exercises require a paid subscription — upgrading is only worth it once you’re using a tool daily and hitting free-tier limits.
