AI, minus the jargon · Ep 9

What does all this AI cost compared to what I pay now?

What a typical AI tool stack costs each month, what each piece does, and how one AI second brain like NOVA compares on price and on what it can do.

The short version

  • A typical stack: an AI chat app, a planner, notes, budgeting and an AI email tool.
  • That’s often $100+ a month, and none of them talk.
  • One brain can cover the core jobs for less.

The typical stack

An AI chat assistant, an AI calendar or task planner, a notes or second-brain app with AI, a budgeting app and an AI email tool. Together they often add up to more than $100 a month. See the Pricing page for a sourced example.

The hidden cost

None of them share memory. You re-explain yourself in each one, copy answers between them, and keep five logins and five bills.

What one brain covers

Asking questions with your real context. Planning your week around your calendar. Keeping notes and memories. Watching your money. Handling email drafts and follow-ups.
