The Tools I Actually Use — Every Day
I get asked constantly what's actually in my toolkit. So here it is — no fluff, no tools I don't genuinely use. These are the apps I rely on every day across 20+ years of enterprise IT and SAP work, and in building this channel.
-
ChatGPT
An AI assistant for writing, analysis, brainstorming and problem-solving.
Why I use it: It's my daily thinking partner — I use it to draft reports, structure presentations and think through SAP process issues before I bring them to my team.
Who should use it: Managers, business analysts and anyone who writes or plans for a living.
Faster first drafts. Better structured thinking. Works across almost any task.
-
Microsoft Copilot
AI built directly into Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams.
Why I use it: For everyday enterprise work — drafting emails, summarizing long threads and building first-draft Excel formulas — it's already where I'm working, so there's no extra app to open.
Who should use it: Anyone working inside Microsoft 365 day-to-day, especially in corporate IT or finance teams.
Works inside tools you already use. Great for email and Office documents. No separate login if you already have Microsoft 365.
-
Power BI
Microsoft's data visualization and business intelligence platform.
Why I use it: After 20+ years in enterprise IT and SAP, Power BI is how I turn raw data into dashboards leadership can actually act on — and its AI features are getting genuinely useful for quick insights.
Who should use it: Business analysts, SAP consultants and anyone who reports on data regularly.
Turns raw data into clear dashboards. Strong integration with Excel and SAP data sources. AI-assisted insights are improving fast.
-
Microsoft Excel
The spreadsheet tool most enterprise work still runs on.
Why I use it: Twenty years into my career, Excel is still where a lot of real analysis happens — especially once you add Copilot's AI formula and summary features on top.
Who should use it: Any corporate professional working with data, budgets or reporting.
Universal compatibility across every enterprise. Powerful once combined with AI add-ins. Familiar to virtually every team.
-
Power Automate
Microsoft's tool for automating repetitive tasks and workflows.
Why I use it: Any task I find myself doing the same way more than twice a week, I try to automate with Power Automate first — it's saved me hours on approvals and notifications alone.
Who should use it: IT managers and business analysts looking to remove repetitive manual work.
Automates repetitive tasks without custom code. Connects directly to Microsoft 365. Frees up hours for higher-value work.
-
Notion
A flexible workspace for notes, docs and project tracking.
Why I use it: I use it to keep my learning notes, video scripts and resource library organized in one place — its AI features help me tidy up messy notes fast.
Who should use it: Anyone who wants one organized place for notes, planning and documentation.
Flexible enough for notes, docs or project tracking. Built-in AI for summarizing and organizing. Free tier is genuinely usable.
-
OBS Studio
Free, open-source screen recording and streaming software.
Why I use it: Every tutorial and screen-recorded video on my YouTube channel is captured with OBS — it's free and genuinely professional-grade.
Who should use it: Anyone recording tutorials, demos or screen-based training content.
Completely free. Professional recording quality. Highly customizable.
