3 Ways You Can Use ChatGPT To Be More Productive

As an AI consultant, I've had the privilege of witnessing the transformational power of AI firsthand. Once lost in the maze of tasks, I now save a staggering 25 to 30 hours each week, all thanks to AI tools. A recent study by Forrester Consulting, commissioned by Grammarly, found that a whopping 31% productivity boost was enjoyed by over half of the AI users at work. Quite an endorsement, isn't it?

One tool that has become indispensable to me is ChatGPT. However, the path to mastering such sophisticated generative AI can seem intimidating. The good news? The digital world is replete with tools equipped with AI functionalities that you might already be familiar with.

Let's delve into three beginner-friendly AI-integrated tools:

1. GrammarlyGo: The Writing Whiz

While ChatGPT is powerful, it isn't infallible, especially when it comes to grammar and syntax. Enter GrammarlyGo. From editing to generating content, this tool has been a game-changer for me.

• Ease of Use: An intuitive plugin icon at the screen's bottom lets you dive straight into its plethora of options, without the hurdle of crafting prompts.
• Tone & Formality: As a marketer, striking the right tone is paramount. GrammarlyGo's AI excels in tailoring content to my desired tone and formality level.
• Pricing: The free version offers a generous 100 monthly prompts, basic suggestions, and tone detection. A mere $12/month upgrade provides enhanced features, including full-sentence rewrites.

However, perfection eludes us all, and GrammarlyGo is no exception. Its text shortening can sometimes omit crucial details. A subsequent review using Grammarly's primary plugin often becomes necessary.

For email enthusiasts like me, GrammarlyGo's prowess extends to crafting email responses, which far surpass other email apps in depth and relevance.

2. Slack: The Power of AI Bots

With the integration of AI apps like DailyBot and Felix, Slack transcends its primary function, offering more than just messaging.

• DailyBot: This AI assistant, powered by ChatGPT, is tailor-made for remote teams. Whether it's running daily stand-ups or summarizing long coworker messages, DailyBot shines. Notably, it can seamlessly integrate with other apps like Jira and Trello.
• Felix: Miscommunication in teams? Felix is here to the rescue. Especially beneficial for non-native English speakers, Felix corrects grammar, tweaks message tones, and more. Its user-friendly commands and preview functions make for a smooth experience.

3. Canva: The AI-Infused Design Maestro

In a world increasingly reliant on design principles, Canva's suite of AI tools stands out. One such gem is Magic Design. From font selection to aesthetic design suggestions, Magic Design transforms novice attempts into professional designs in mere seconds.

I recently tapped into its prowess for a conference presentation on generative AI. While it isn't a complete replacement for personal expertise, Magic Design significantly cuts down on preparation time, allowing for a more refined end product.

AI Consultant Perspective:  Strategize Your AI Exploration

In the vast ocean of AI tools, the key is to not get lost. Instead of indiscriminately exploring every new AI tool, pinpoint areas that can amplify your productivity the most.

For me, the transition from manual script creation and slide deck preparation to AI-assisted tasks has freed up almost 80% of my time, enabling me to focus on higher ROI activities.

In the ever-evolving world of AI, the strategy is simple: delve deep, not wide. Find what works for you, master it, and watch your productivity soar.
