Introduction
“Do more with less.” This is increasingly an expectation at work, and often a necessity for business owners. Sometimes it feels impossible to do everything that needs to be done at work, in our businesses, or even duties outside of our professional roles. AI can alleviate some of that stress. There are thousands of AI tools out there, and learning to use AI tools for business can help you check a lot more off your to-do list.
Consider AI your part-time assistant. The sooner you embrace this idea and begin to use AI tools in your business, the more productive you will feel because of the speed with which it can cut down your tasks. While uses for AI can vary widely depending on profession, I wanted to share a few AI tools that can help with some of the more common tasks in the workplace.
AI for Writing
Chances are, some of your work involves writing. Whether it’s as common as email, or as specialized as social media content, Copy.ai can help. It’s an incredible free ai tool for writing. You can use it to make day-to-day emails easier and faster, write messages for recruiting through social media, create internal memos, or even automate content creation just to name a few tasks. One of my absolute favorite features of this ai tool: it has built in prompts for several types of tasks – this is often the hardest part about using AI to write something of quality. That is a HUGE benefit!

Calendar Management with AI
If you’re anything like me, your calendar is not just for meetings and events – you also use it for your to-do list and highest priority work. Good calendar management can be incredibly useful for boosting productivity. Check out reclaimai to explore how you can take your work time to new heights with a free AI calendar assistant. Some great things about this app: ability to auto-schedule meetings, task-list integration, improved estimation of goals, and prioritization controls. The main downside (for some) is that it’s currently only designed for Google Calendar, though they do have plans to support Outlook 365 as well.

Using AI for Organizing Notes, Documents and Records
Do you take notes during your meetings? Keeping notes, documents and records organized can get challenging, especially the longer you are in a workplace or as your business grows. As a free AI notes tool (and so much more) Notion can help. Notion AI will look across your documents and give you answers to questions and provide summaries. It can help with writing, brainstorming, analyzing meeting notes, and generating insights from your data. It also has collaborator options if you work with a team. Notion uses extend far beyond documentation and record-keeping, and many see it as an all in one workspace.

AI for Project Management
Sophisticated tools for project managers have existed for a long time. However, it’s likely you perform project management tasks whether you are a project manager or not. Clickup is a free tool for project management. It can help you increase efficiency with your projects, processes, and workflows. Collaborate with your team and contractors, even if they aren’t Clickup users. Its AI summary capability is great, especially if you are used to getting detailed notes and want to see key points quickly. Another great thing about Clickup is the ability to set goals, estimate time, and automate regular tasks. Oh, and it’s customizable. Score!
