42 ways you should be using AI right now

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated at Cisco's AI Summit in February that concerns about highly capable AI replacing human knowledge workers are exaggerated, asserting that "You’re not going to lose your job to AI. You’re going to lose your job to someone who uses AI." This perspective encourages individuals to adopt AI tools to enhance their productivity. The article outlines how to begin using AI agents, avoid common issues, and stay updated on advancements. A primary method for integrating AI involves exploring features already present in existing applications. Many established productivity platforms now offer AI agents designed to assist with various tasks. Asana AI Teammates, for instance, can generate project timelines and conduct competitive market analysis. Canva AI allows users to quickly create initial drafts of presentations, PDFs, videos, and applications, which can then be refined. Google Workspace Studio enables the creation of agents for routine tasks like summarizing Google Meet calls or flagging important Gmail messages. Notion AI, integrated into the note-taking and productivity app, can automate tasks within Notion and access external data from platforms like Slack and Google Docs.
