AI by Aakash

What it is.

Aakash Gupta writes AI by Aakash alongside his product growth newsletter. Each issue covers one tool and stops there.

Issues are setup guides and comparisons: which Claude model deserves the hard job, what the new ChatGPT settings do to your usage limits, how to make an agent keep working until a task is done.

It lands weekly on Thursdays, free, with a paid tier.

What you get.

  • A weekly guide to whatever tool or model just landed
  • Settings-level detail, including the ones that quietly cost you usage
  • Model selection framed as a cost and quality trade-off
  • Workflow commands and templates you can copy
  • Free access with a paid tier
OUR PICKS

Editions we'd start with.

Which tasks deserve the expensive model. Read it before your team standardizes.

ChatGPT Work ↗

July 2026. The complete guide, and a good sample of how thorough the setup posts get.

GPT-5.6 ↗

The plain-English guide, including the two settings that burn usage limits.

/goal ↗

A single command that changes how agents finish work. Small and immediately useful.

GBrain ↗

Memory across agent sessions, which is the problem everyone hits second.
