These are the exact tools we use at Veileron to run AI automation campaigns for our clients. No fluff, no sponsorships — just what actually works.
Every tool on this page is something we use in our day-to-day operations. We've tested a lot of alternatives — these are the ones that made the cut. If a tool has an affiliate link, we've noted it. But we'd recommend these regardless.
GHL is the engine that runs everything for our clients. SMS automation, missed call text back, AI chatbots, appointment booking, reputation management, CRM pipelines — it's all in one place. We've evaluated other platforms and nothing comes close to the feature set at this price for small business automation.
Our primary AI assistant for writing, strategy, coding, and research. Claude handles everything from drafting blog articles and building websites to researching competitors and writing automation scripts. Claude Code specifically allows us to build and edit entire websites through conversation — no manual coding required.
We use ChatGPT alongside Claude for tasks where different AI perspectives are valuable. Strong for quick research, image generation with DALL-E, and brainstorming. The voice mode is useful for thinking through ideas hands-free. A strong all-rounder that complements Claude's capabilities.
Manus is an autonomous AI agent that can complete multi-step tasks on its own — browsing the web, writing files, running research, and delivering finished work without constant input. We use it for deep research projects and tasks that would otherwise take hours of manual work.
HeyGen lets us create professional marketing videos using an AI avatar — a digital clone built from a short video recording. We type a script and the avatar delivers it with realistic expressions and lip sync. This means we can produce polished video content at scale without filming every time.
GalaxyAI gives us access to every major AI video and image generation model in one interface — VEO 3.1, Kling, Seedance, Sora, and more. Instead of subscribing to each individually, we generate cinematic b-roll, background footage, and marketing visuals all from one platform at a fraction of the cost.
CapCut is our video editing tool for final assembly. We stitch together AI-generated scenes, add text overlays, captions, transitions, and music, then export for social media. It's free, intuitive, and handles everything we need for short-form content without the learning curve of professional editing software.
Canva handles all of our graphic design needs — social media posts, thumbnails, flyers, presentations, and brand assets. The AI features including background remover and image generation save significant time. The Pro plan's brand kit keeps everything consistent across all materials.
Cloudflare Pages hosts our websites with unlimited bandwidth and unlimited deployments on the free tier. Fast load times globally thanks to Cloudflare's CDN. For static marketing sites there's simply no better free option. We moved from Netlify after running into credit limitations on the free tier.
Firecrawl lets us extract structured data from any website — competitor research, lead data, market intelligence, and content aggregation. It converts messy web pages into clean data that AI tools can process. Essential for building any automated research or prospecting workflow.
