Hey friends!

Google shipped Gemini 3.7 Flash on Thursday, three weeks after 3.6 Flash, and priced it at $0.75 per million input tokens through year-end, half the previous cost.

OpenAI and Anthropic cut prices the same week while DeepSeek raised some API rates by more than 1,000%.

Model intelligence keeps getting cheaper, so the advantage moves back to execution.

The tools below win on workflow, not on raw horsepower. Each one removes a task from your week and hands you the time back.

Here's what made the cut.
