    AI stacks, by profession

    Every profession has a real AI stack in 2026 — and a lot of tools people bought and regret. Here's what's actually in use, workflow by workflow.

    For Marketers

    Marketing teams are the loudest AI adopters and the most likely to overbuy. This is the stack the ones actually shipping campaigns are running in 2026 — not the one their vendor slide decks say they should.

    For Founders

    Founders don't have time to test 40 AI tools. This is the stack the ones actually shipping in 2026 are running — chosen to replace hires, not create new busywork.

    For Creators

    Creators built the case for AI tools before the enterprise even noticed. This is the 2026 stack the ones actually growing audiences and revenue are running — not the 47-tool 'creator OS' megalists.

    For Consultants

    Consultants sell time and thinking — the two things AI is best at compressing. This is the 2026 stack independent consultants and boutique firms are using to raise rates, not just save time.

    For Agencies

    Agencies live at the sharp end of the AI transition — clients want the savings, teams want the leverage, and margins are on the line. This is the 2026 stack the agencies actually growing (not shrinking) are running.
