#92 - 🚀 AI is coming to productivity tools: why it will change everything

Greg Taieb · · 4 min read

Hello,
How are you? Here I am back after a short break to offer you my dose of useful links.

On the program:

  • 🚀 How AI will disrupt productivity tools
  • 📱The ultimate list of apps in my newsletter
  • 🎧 Podcasts to catch up on (crypto, connected home and virtual influencers)
  • 🌙 Spend the night at Airbnb
    • simple but it's just the beginning.

    Generating a blog post, an argument, a product sheet or even a test is now child's play for the most advanced AI.

    And this is precisely the next big feature that is coming to my favorite tool Notion.

    The idea is to use AI models directly from the application and concretely this allows:

    • To translate text or summarize
    • To create comparison tables
    • To write a text, blog article,..
    • Create lists

    Say like that it's hard to imagine how crazy it can be too I encourages you to take a look at this video from Thomas Franck an American YouTuber who had access to the alpha version.

    You can register on the waiting list using this link.

    Who knows how soon I could delegate the writing of this newsletter to a AI?

    📱What was the app again?

    Since the launch of this newsletter 2 years ago, I have shared with you no less than 60 applications original.

    There is something for everyone: video, productivity, images, social networks,…

    Only nuggets.

    However, one of the questions I am often asked about this newsletter is:

    “What was the application that…”

    To answer this question I have compiled all the apps mentioned in the last 90 newsletters with each times:

    • The name of the app and its category
    • A short description
    • The link to the newsletter that talks about it
    • The platforms on which the app is available
    • The link to the app

    Each application has a dedicated sheet and of course I will update this table each time I mention a new discovery.

    Find all the applications

    🎙️Podcasts to catch up on

    It is clear that I have a little more regularity with Encore Un Podcast Tech than with this newsletter. So if you want to be sure to hear me every week, the easiest way is to simply subscribe here.

    Otherwise here is a link to the latest episodes.

    👀 The original info: An Airbnb at Mr Airbnb

    This is what I call an implementation abysses: imagine being able to book an Airbnb with Mr. Airbnb?

    It's now possible since Brian Chesky the co-founder of the famous platform invites you to his home (well, you'll still have to pay) as a guest to occupy a room in his house.

    And Brian knows how to entertain you will be entitled to homemade cookies and even the opportunity to squat in his gym.

    Excellent initiative because we suspect although Brian, as a billionaire (his fortune is estimated at 11 billion dollars) does not need to be a roommate to make ends meet.

    It is a real need to test his service, meet clients and certainly a nice publicity stunt.

    I looked at the availability but nothing before the end of 2024 but Brian promised that he was going to add a few weekends soon.🤷‍♂️

    And that's it for this week!
