What daily AI tools do you actually use as a non-technical person?

Curious what AI tools other non-technical people are using day-to-day. I'm interested in real practical uses rather than just the hyped stuff. What's actually making your life better?

Currently using Replit quite religiously to build web apps. Nothing too complex, but I've been able to replace some SaaS subscriptions with it already. Using ChatGPT daily to help with my prose/grammar, have also started using it for image generation too - but yet to have it let loose on my inbox. I know it's inevitable when that day will come :)

I've been using Lately.ai for social media content. I give it a blog post or article and it creates a month's worth of social posts from it. Huge time saver!

I find Shortwave more intuitive and focused on making your inbox manageable. Gmail's features are good but Shortwave was designed from the ground up with AI in mind.

Is Shortwave better than the new Gmail AI features? I've been trying to decide which route to go.

For email management, I've been using Shortwave which uses AI to categorize and prioritize my inbox. It's been a total game changer for productivity.

It's about 90-95% accurate in my experience. Where it struggles is with technical jargon or heavy accents, but still much better than trying to take notes myself during a meeting.

How accurate is Otter compared to manual transcription? I've been burned by poor transcription services before.

I use Otter.ai daily to transcribe all my meetings and calls. Saves me hours of note-taking and I never miss important details anymore.
