TOOLS WE ARE
WATCHING, AND LOVING
General writing, brainstorming, drafts, and conversational research. The one everyone knows — most use badly. Exceptionally versatile when prompted well.
Long documents, nuanced analysis, tasks where accuracy matters more than speed. Handles complex reasoning and long context windows exceptionally well.
Google's multimodal AI. Strong across text, images, and code. Deep Google ecosystem integration — ideal if your team lives in Google Workspace.
Real-time web research with cited sources. Reach for this when you need current information. Replaces a lot of Google search for research-heavy work.
Note-taking, document organisation, and knowledge management inside Notion. Best for teams already using Notion as their work hub.
Grammar, tone, and style improvements. The safety net for any writing you publish professionally. Works across browsers, email, and documents.
The gold standard for AI image generation. Extraordinary quality when prompted properly. A skill to learn — but worth every minute invested.
OpenAI's image generator. Integrated directly into ChatGPT Plus. Good for quick visual concepts without switching tools.
Design with AI assistance. Templates, image generation, and brand kit tools for non-designers. The easiest entry point for visual AI work.
Adobe's AI image generation. Commercially safe outputs — trained on licensed content only. Integrated into Creative Cloud for existing Adobe users.
AI video generation and editing. The tool professional filmmakers and creators are actually using. Gen-3 Alpha produces remarkable results for the right prompts.
Realistic voice cloning and text-to-speech. Changing podcasting, e-learning, and content production. Most realistic voice synthesis available today.
AI avatar video creation. Turn a script into a talking-head video without filming anything. Game-changer for training content and sales videos.
Meeting transcription and summarisation. Connects to Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams. Automatically captures decisions and action items. Essential for async teams.
Connect and automate between apps using AI-powered workflows. No coding required. 5,000+ app integrations. The fastest way to remove repetitive tasks.
AI-powered code editor. Not just for developers — useful for anyone who works with spreadsheet formulas, scripts, or data. Changes how technical work gets done.
Upload documents, take notes, and get AI-generated summaries and podcasts from your sources. Google's research companion. Brilliant for students and researchers.
Search and summarise academic research papers. Built specifically for students and researchers doing literature reviews. Saves hours per paper.
AI tutor integrated into Khan Academy. Genuinely useful for students. Explains concepts at the right level without just giving answers away.
