Thanks to Loopin for sponsoring this video.
I’ve been reviewing many AI apps reviews but today I thought I’d focus on the ones
that save you lots of time and get more things done.
The first app is Bardeen . I came across this app recently but I can see it could be a part
of everybody's toolkit.
It's essentially an automation tool like Zapier but with AI.
We all have boring tasks we have to do repeatedly.
But creating automation for these tasks has been time-consuming and could be difficult.
But thanks to AI, it's much easier now even if you don't have any experience before.
Bardeen is a Chrome extension, and you can start making automation workflows instantly.
There are lots of pre-made automation too which you can install with just one click
which is one thing I really like about this app.
But it might not have what you're looking for.
In that case, you can create your own.
And this is the best thing about Bardeen.
You can now just describe what automation you want to make and AI will automatically
create it for you.
Let's say I want to summarise the current webpage and send the summary to Notion.
I can just describe this process and let AI build it for me.
It looks decent, and here I can even change which database the summary will be added and
other things too.
Then all I need to do is deploy the automation.
This is probably the easiest automation building experience ever.
It's actually really fun, so I made a few on my own.
Triggering these automations is easy too.
You can open your dashboard with a keyboard shortcut.
And choose the one you want to run.
So let's try the one we just built.
I can summarise this article and send it to Notion just a few clicks.
A minor issue is that some automation can take some time to complete, so you might have
to wait a little bit which can be frustrating at times.
Speaking of problems, another thing is that the available apps for automation is still
limited since it's a new app.
But they're adding new ones frequently and already have most of the major apps so I don't
find it a big issue.
I'm still doing its free trial but I think I'm going to subscribe because it's been really
helpful!
You should try it yourself since there are so many automations that you probably find
ones that will help your workflows.
Another great time-saving tool is Loopin, which is an AI-powered calendar/meeting app.
It's a chrome extension so it's super easy to install.
It integrates seamlessly between Chrome, Google Calendar, Gmail and Google Meet.
It's such a great tool to stay organised.
You can see your schedule anywhere by pressing the keyboard shortcut for the extension.
And also all the tasks you may have.
This includes tasks that are assigned by other people too.
And you can schedule them to any day you like.
Also my favourite feature is that you can save an email as a task by hitting this Loopin
icon.
This makes it easy to remember which emails you should reply to.
But what's more impressive is its meeting features.
Before joining a meeting, you can prepare by writing down agenda, what to talk about
and so on.
Also you can see recap from previous meetings so you don't have to recall what you discussed
before.
Then when you're in a meeting, you can see the notes as well as make new ones.
But that's not the best part.
You can record meeting, and when it's finished, you can ask AI to summarise it for you.
And the summary is incredibly accurate and useful.
It's automatically categorised into action item, decision and so on.
You can add your own notes to it, but I always find it extensive enough.
Then you can share the notes to the others.
I love this because now you can fully focus on the conversation instead of taking meeting
notes all the time.
Anyway, Loopin has lots of other features too.
It's not just a meeting app, but kind of like an all-in-one productivity app.
So you should definitely give it a try.
I leave the link in the description so you can install it right away.
There are lots of AI writing apps now, and most of them are almost identical.
But one writing app I keep using every day is Hyperwrite.
I talked about it before, but I wanted to mention it again because I love it and it's
been saving so many hours every week for me.
Something I like is that you can get the help of AI on any writing or note-taking web app.
You have an instant access to their template library and choose the one you like depending
on what you're writing.
Also they have this AI chatbot that you can talk to while writing or browsing the internet.
You can use this just like you use ChatGPT to ask questions or have it write something
for you.
But my favourite is its typeahead feature.
As you write, it suggests what to write next.
To me, this has been the most useful because sometimes I don't know what to write next.
But this little nudge helps me overcome writer's block and write faster.
Personally though, I also like its email response template.
I get loads of emails sometimes and this is a real time-saver since I just need to write
the gist of message and AI will rewrite it for me so it sounds polite and respectful.
Also, they seem to be launching a massive new update which looks very exciting, so I'm
looking forward to that too.
ChatGPT is very useful in many situations.
From writing to generating ideas, it can help you save lots of time.
My favourite app to access ChatGPT on mobile is Poe since it opens in just a second and
runs super smooth.
But there are actually a few more good ones too.
Perplexity is also getting popular since its response comes with references and also you
can save your conversation history as threads.
Another great one is Wavelength.
It's actually a messaging app that you can use to talk to your friends.
You can invite your family, friends and coworkers and include AI in that chat.
This means you can talk to AI with other people together which can be helpful when, for example,
planning a trip with them.
You could ask it to make a plan for you.
These apps are all great, and I'll probably make a detailed comparison video soon.
On the other hand, my favourite app to use ChatGPT on laptop is Embra.
It's a new app that I started using only a few days ago, but it's awesome.
I'm not going into the details because I'm doing a full review soon, but essentially,
you can start a conversation with ChatGPT with a keyboard shortcut, anywhere on your
computer.
I've tried a few similar apps, but this one might be the best because of its quick access
and the ability to save conversations as threads.
And then it also has more cool features with its chrome extension too.
But that's for another video.
Since it's a new app, you can still try it for free.
And that's it for today's video!
