Used properly, AI removes admin, speeds up thinking and reduces cognitive load. Used badly, it becomes another distraction. The tools I use below have genuinely supercharged my productivity beyond what I could have imagined in the last couple of years.
THE AI STACK BEHIND MY DAILY OPERATION
If you are only using ChatGPT, you are only scratching the surface of what AI can actually do.
By Saam Ali, CEO @Pharmacy Mentor C
hatGPT is powerful and it sits at the centre of how I work, but it is just one part of a
wider AI stack. Different tools do different jobs better - research, communication, presentations, thinking, execution. Trying to force one tool to do everything is where most people go wrong.
I use more AI tools than I am going to cover here. In this article, I am focusing only on the core tools that

power my daily operation and are directly relevant to pharmacists and pharmacy owners. Each tool has a specific purpose.
Together, they allow me to operate faster, think clearer and remove friction from an already overloaded working day. Across research, writing, communication and execution, this stack saves me over 100 hours every month.
This is not about experimenting with AI or chasing trends. This is about using the right tools consistently to gain back time and headspace.
How I think about AI Before tools, the mindset matters. AI is not here to replace pharmacists, prescribing or clinical judgement. I use AI as a co-pilot, not an autopilot. I still make decisions. AI helps me get there faster.
Move over Chrome. It’s all about Atlas. ChatGPT sits at the centre of how I now operate. I used Google Chrome as my primary browser for well over a decade. A few months ago, I switched to Atlas and have not looked back. I still use Chrome alongside it, mainly because Chrome remains excellent for extensions, but Atlas has become my core browser because ChatGPT is built directly into it.
The biggest shift is that I am no longer copying and pasting between Google and ChatGPT. Search, thinking and action now happen in one place.
With Agent Mode, ChatGPT goes beyond drafting and analysis. I now use it to help complete tasks inside the browser, such as analysing what is on my screen, filling out forms and adding content directly into documents. As this browser continues to evolve, its capabilities will only improve.
I use ChatGPT daily for content creation, SOP building, operational analysis, scripts, problem solving and planning. At this point, it functions as a virtual personal assistant that saves me a significant number of hours every week.
For pharmacists, this is hugely relevant. The same setup can be used for service SOPs, patient communication drafts, internal training materials, email copy and operational planning. None of this
