The AI Top 40
Open any workflow to see what you'll need, what to tell Claude or ChatGPT, and how to check the result before your team relies on it.
How these were ranked
This isn't a popularity contest. A workflow moves up the list when it helps with real work, holds up more than once, and is practical to use responsibly.
Helps someone make a better decision, ship useful work, or get a real result.
Works week after week, not just in a carefully staged demo.
Considers the setup, context, and review needed to get a good result.
Works across tools where possible—and keeps a human responsible.
