NINJA AI TOOLS

🥷 Stop Gluing APIs Together by Hand—Use This Instead

If you’ve ever tried to automate something and hit a wall because the tool was either too visual or too code-heavy, you might want to check out n8n.

It’s an open-source automation platform built for people who want the power of code and the speed of drag-n-drop. Think: connecting APIs, building multi-step AI workflows, integrating with your tools (Slack, Notion, OpenAI, etc.)—all from one interface.

Why it’s worth a look:

• Use code when you need it—JavaScript, Python, cURL, even npm libs

• Or don’t. Drag-and-drop your way through 500+ app integrations

• Build AI agents that actually do stuff with your data

• Self-host if you need control, or use their cloud

• Debug fast with inline logs, mock data, and step-by-step reruns

How people are using it:

• Developers are wiring up custom AI tools that talk to internal APIs

• Ops teams are automating alerts, reports, and repetitive workflows

• Marketers are syncing CRMs with LLMs to score and route leads

• Solo builders are gluing together forms, summaries, and Slack bots

If you like working fast but still want things done right, this is a solid middle ground between Zapier-style simplicity and full-blown engineering effort.

AI TUTORIAL

🎓 Here’s why You Shouldn’t Be Polite when Chatting with ChatGPT

Being Polite Costs More Than You Think

Extra words = more tokens

More tokens = more $$$ + energy + water used by servers.
Yes, even the environment feels it.

ChatGPT can’t reason like humans (yet).

So don’t treat it like it understands nuance or courtesy.

The WORST Words to Use in Prompts:

🚫 “Can”
🚫 “Could”

These create uncertainty → vaguer answers.

Say This Instead:

🗣️ “List the current trends in the book market for 2025.”

Not: “Can you list…”

Command > Question

📉 Other Weak Words to Avoid:

• “Maybe”

• “Just”

• “Actually”

• “Kind of”

• “Generally speaking”

They dilute the AI’s response power.

🔍 Be Clear, Be Direct:
✅ Say: “Summarize the top 3 features of iPhone 16 Pro Max.”

❌ Don’t say: “I may be wrong, but could you maybe summarize…”

• Be decisive

• Be concise

• Be precise

• Say exactly what you want

…and no need to say “please” — just say what you need.
