My AI Stack To Automate Work
Feb 21, 2024 | Garrett Houghton
Every day there seems to be new AI advances and a fresh set of tools in the market. It’s difficult to know the signal vs. the noise. I’ve tried many of the AI tools out there and these are my most used, organized by function.
Search
Perplexity - Perplexity AI has replaced Google Search for me for knowledge-based questions. It provides quality answers and links to high quality sources.
AI Assistant
ChatGPT - ChatGPT is my first stop for any generation problem. It writes all the code I ever need to use, helps me name and reword things and so much more.
Meeting Recording & Summarization
Fireflies AI - Fireflies AI integrates with all the major meeting platforms (Zoom, Google Meets) and generates transcripts and video, summarizing the conversation and creating action items for each participant. I don't take meeting notes anymore, that's how much I trust this tool.
Automation
Zapier - If I ever need to automate tasks across multiple pieces of software, particularly with an AI processing step, like summarization or data cleaning, Zapier is my go to for ease of use and power.
API
OpenAI - OpenAI’s APIs are a perfect companion with Zapier. For any automated AI processing step I need, I’ll use one of the many OpenAI APIs.
Spreadsheets
Coefficient - Coefficient has been far more helpful than I expected. It takes OpenAI’s APIs and integrates them directly into Google Sheets, which has been a major time-saver for me when I need to manipulate and clean data with AI. Tasks like data labeling or cleaning take seconds.
Web Scraping
Browse AI - I don’t do much web scraping, but when I was looking for a web scraping tool for a specific project, Browse AI was the simplest and most accurate I found.
Presentations
Typeset - I tried every AI presentation-making app on the market and Typeset was the only one that both saved me time, looked great and had enough manual editing features to deliver a final product I was satisfied with.
Social Video Editing
OpusClip - If you’re looking to cut long videos into short, viral clips, look no further than OpusClip. It’s incredibly simple, fast and accurate. I found the video editing experience, dare I say it, fun in this tool.
General Video Editing
Descript - Descript can seemingly do everything from a video-editing perspective. It’s both web and desktop-based, built for the modern-user, and is the only full feature video editor I’ve found that is built with AI in its DNA.
