We’re back with Part 2 of my chat with AI educator and vacation rental marketer, Nihal Salah - and trust me, if you thought the first conversation was packed, this one goes even deeper.

In this episode, we tackle the challenge so many of us are facing right now: how do you choose the right AI tools without getting overwhelmed by the endless options? With over 32,000+ tools out there (yes, really), it’s easy to fall into analysis paralysis or end up subscribing to a dozen platforms you barely use.

Nihal and I share our favorite go-to tools, what we’re using in our own businesses, and how to evaluate which platforms are truly worth your time and money. We also explore the difference between individual LLMs (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) versus aggregator platforms (like Abacus and Poe), and how each one fits into a short-term rental operator’s toolkit.

We even take a side trip into dog diet planning using Claude (yes, AI really can do that), and why being intentional is the most important skill you can develop when integrating AI into your business.
