How I test AI tools without subscription guilt

For the business buyer / multi-tasker who is always exploring the latest AI tools... I've been experimenting with a lot of AI products this year. Granola for meeting notes. Perplexity for research. Gamma for presentations. A bunch of others. Most didn't stick. Some did. The problem I've had with a lot of these is that you don't truly know if they're a fit until you've tried them for a few months - time to get past the initial bells and whistles. Lenny's Product Pass solved this for me. For $200/yr, it includes an awesome bundle of some of the latest and greatest tools like Perplexity, n8n, Lovable, Canva, Eleven Labs, and more. Test them properly. Keep what works. Drop what doesn't. It's how I found Granola. And how I realized Perplexity's browser wasn't for me - and I don't feel any guilt that I now have a subscription because I'm getting plenty of value elsewhere.
