By now you're probably familiar with AI tools such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, Otter.ai, and GoogleGOOG Assistant. But what about some of the less popular software? There are tons of AI applications on the market, supercharged into focus with the advent of ChatGPT that captured global attention as a productivity phenomenon in November 2022.

With the plethora of artificial intelligence-driven contrivances designed to automate tasks and make working life easier, it's easy to become overwhelmed and abandon their usage entirely.

Here is a round-up of eight highly-acclaimed and effective AI productivity tools that perform what would take hours of mentally-draining, time-consuming work within a fraction of the time.

## Clara

Liam Lucas, CEO and founder of Off Road Genius, has been using AI tools to enhance productivity within his team, noting that his background within human rights advocacy, finance, and marketing has enabled him to appreciate how AI plays a significant role in efficient work processes.

"One AI tool we've found particularly useful," Lucas shares, "is Clara, an AI-powered scheduling assistant. Clara integrates with our calendars and emails, automating the process of scheduling meetings. It has significantly reduced the time spent on back-and-forth emails and has eliminated scheduling errors."

SEO manager George Bates of Limelight Digital, added: "By simply cc'ing Clara in an email conversation about a meeting, the AI coordinates with all parties to find a suitable time and place based on your preferences."

## Goblin.tools

This all-in-one genius AI tool simplifies your life as a busy professional through breaking down larger, overwhelming tasks into simplified, smaller steps, and can perform a range of tasks from giving you an instant recipe for dinner from whatever is left over in your kitchen, to estimating how long a number of tasks will take to complete.

Kimberley Tyler-Smith, VP at Resume Worded, related her experience using the platform:

"One AI tool that has been quite helpful in boosting my productivity at work is goblin.tools. I stumbled upon it recently and found it to be quite helpful. What sets goblin.tools apart is its ability to break down large and overwhelming tasks into manageable, bite-sized portions. It then conveniently adds these mini-tasks to your to-do list, making it easier to tackle complex projects one step at a time.

This approach has been a game-changer for me, as it helps me stay focused and lessens the feeling of being overwhelmed by a massive workload. While it might not be as widely recognized as some of the more prominent AI tools, its simplicity, and effectiveness in task management make it a valuable addition to the toolkit of anyone looking to enhance their work productivity."
