AI Tools We Actually Use

Best no-code automation platform

The most flexible automation tool available. Connect 1,500+ apps without code. Better than Zapier for complex multi-step workflows with branching logic, data transforms, and error handling.

💡 Use it to: auto-summarize emails with AI → post to Slack, scrape leads → enrich with AI → push to CRM, or trigger Claude/GPT tasks on a schedule.

Best AI writing assistant for long-form content

Trained on high-performing marketing copy. Jasper excels at blog posts, ad copy, and email sequences where tone and brand voice matter. Has a 'Brand Voice' feature that learns your style.

💡 Use it to: write SEO blog posts 5× faster, generate ad variations for A/B tests, or draft email sequences with consistent voice.

Best value AI writer with real-time web access

Writesonic's Chatsonic can browse the web in real time — making it useful for content about current events, trends, and breaking news where static models fall short.

💡 Use it to: write up-to-date product comparisons, generate news-informed social content, or research-backed blog posts without manual searching.

Best VPN for remote workers and AI power users

If you're working remotely, using public Wi-Fi, or accessing AI tools on the go, NordVPN keeps your connection encrypted and your data private. 6,000+ servers across 60+ countries, a verified no-logs policy, and the fast NordLynx protocol.

💡 Use it to: secure your connection when using AI APIs on public networks, protect sensitive prompts and outputs from interception, or access geo-restricted AI tools.

Best AI-enhanced workspace

Notion AI sits directly inside your docs and databases. Unlike standalone AI tools, it has context — it can summarize a meeting note, extract action items from a project page, or fill a database field using AI.

💡 Use it to: auto-generate meeting summaries from transcripts, create SOPs from bullet notes, or build AI-powered knowledge bases your team can query.
