Artificial Intelligence - AI :

Chatbots, Ideation and Search:

ChatGPT: worth the $20 upgrade or just search for free - it’s the most popular tool by far.

Claude 2: Another powerful chatbot worth trying.

Copilot: Microsoft kinda giving you chatGPT for free + Bing.

Quillbot: The surprising tool that improves all your gdocs, and translates on the fly!

Writesonic: A sort of ChatGPT alternative for SEO

Grammar Checkers and Rewording Tools:

Grammarly: Ensures grammatical correctness and clarity - and while I do ignore some of the suggestions - I have regularly used Grammarly - and over many years!

Fireflies - not quite perfect but default for the masses.

Laxis: Premium updating of CRMs, recording etc.

One thing I should emphasise is that AI doesn’t just do the work for you - you need to work in conjunction with AI and treat AI as a co-intelligence partner that amplifies your human capabilities. This perspective encourages us to engage with AI in a more collaborative manner, where both human and machine intelligence shape the creative process.
