The AI that tells you when not to use AI

You've probably looked at a task and wondered: "Should I be doing this with AI?"

If you've been reading me for a while, you know I'm all in on AI.

But I'm also the first to tell you that there are places where it's useless, or even where it damages what you do.

And that's the hard part: the nuance. I've spent a long time looking for a way to give you that lens every day, without having to wait for my next email.

You may already know the Ergon test, the one that told you what makes you irreplaceable. I've rebuilt it from scratch. It's no longer a test you take once: it's a tool to open every time you have an idea, a project or a task and you wonder whether AI belongs there.

It's 100% free, and I built it for you:

Try the new Ergon

How it works: you describe what you want to do in two or three sentences (a workflow, a service, an idea). Ergon breaks it down into concrete actions, judges each one separately, and tells you for each: AI handles it, AI assists you, you stay in charge, or "don't use AI here."

No account, nothing to pay.

And above all, make it a habit. The tools move so fast that a task AI was bad at six months ago can be perfect for it today, and the other way around. The question is worth asking again and again.

For my part, I keep improving Ergon whenever I learn something new.

Use it once or use it ten times: you'll get something out of it every time.

Talk soon,

Salim

P.S. I really hope Ergon helps you. I use it myself every day, and I can't wait to hear what you think. Send me your thoughts, the verdicts that surprised you, and above all the ones that didn't convince you: that's how I'll make it better.
