AI Tools to Start From Scratch in 2026

When setting up a fresh account as though starting from scratch, Abdul Osama (عبدول أسامة) installs Claude first and then Wispr Flow to speed up text input. His workflow also includes Chrome, Cloudflare and GitHub, while he uses ChatGPT and mentions Codex for particular tasks; he does not present a consistent, fixed count of tools.

Key takeaways

Claude was the first tool Abdul installed on the fresh account.
He uses Wispr Flow to reduce time spent typing.
He uses GitHub to store his programming work.
He uses ChatGPT especially for creative work and Arabic writing, and also mentions Codex for coding.
He names more tools than his stated tool count, so the list should not be treated as a fixed bundle.

Where does he start?

For an AI workflow built from scratch, Abdul Osama (عبدول أسامة) does not suggest installing every available tool. On a fresh laptop account, he started with Claude, followed by Wispr Flow, then turned to tools for browsing, building projects and storing code. He also uses ChatGPT and mentions Codex.

“The first program I found myself installing was Claude.” — Abdul Osama

The tools and their roles

| Tool | How it fits his workflow | |---|---| | Claude | An AI assistant that can help with coding; it is Abdul’s preferred choice for AI-assisted programming. | | Wispr Flow | A speech-to-text tool he uses to move faster when typing slows him down. | | Google Chrome | A web browser he considers part of his basic setup. | | Cloudflare | A platform offering services for websites and applications; he highlights it for people building software projects with AI assistance. | | GitHub | A platform for hosting code repositories; he opens it to store his programming work. His storage analogy does not mean it is literally Google Drive. | | ChatGPT | An AI assistant he uses especially for creative work and writing in Arabic. | | Codex | An AI coding tool he mentions as another strong option alongside Claude. |

He also calls email essential, without naming an email provider.

What should you do next?

Choose tools around the work you actually do: an assistant for coding or writing, faster text input if you need it, and a place to store code once you have a project. This is Abdul’s personal setup, not a required bundle. At the end of the video, he mentions a free introductory course on November 6 and invites interested viewers to comment for registration details.
