Reid Hoffman's Personal AI Formula: Maximum Utilization for Maximum Efficiency

Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and renowned venture capitalist, has an unconventional approach to utilizing artificial intelligence: he simply subscribes to all available services. In a recent episode of the podcast "Moonshots with Peter Diamandis," Hoffman explained that he uses AI tools like OpenAI, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Claude in parallel and complementary ways. Hoffman, who was on the board of OpenAI until 2023 before stepping down to avoid conflicts of interest with his other AI investments, confirmed that he does not enjoy any special benefits as a Microsoft board member. Instead, he follows his own strategy by relying on a variety of subscriptions to meet his AI needs. Despite his extensive AI setup, Hoffman mentioned that he still lacks a personal cloud. His goal is to use AI for in-depth research. A typical process begins with asking about the right research approach and ends with an edited version that helps him refine his questions more precisely. With an estimated fortune of $2.5 billion, Hoffman does not shy away from the costs of his comprehensive AI setup. The monthly expenses for the top subscriptions of leading AI assistants amount to at least $650, not including the costs for Microsoft's Copilot and Office 365.
