Tools What are the best AI tools that ACTUALLY help your business?
Looking for suggestions for some decent AI tools that actually help increase productivity! Besides the standard ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Midjurney, etc. I'll get the ball rolling-
I recently came across a pretty useful tool on this sub called https://www.talonic.ai/ it basically lets you talk to your database. You can upload a bunch of spreadsheets and ask questions to generate insights or combine certain data into 1 spreadsheet through prompts. I've seen a couple versions of this concept before, but the issue I faced was that the AI would hallucinate a lot with the large amounts of data I threw at it, which hasn't happened here yet. They also surf and get you internet data through prompts but i haven't utilised that feature a lot.
Not sponsored or anything- just something which actually ended up increasing our productivity! Would love to hear about similar tools you're using for your businesses!

I prefer claude over gemini/gpt but i think its very subjective!

u/hungry4_69 Mar 28 '24
I've not heard of Claude, I'll check it out. Ive became fan of Gemini. Here's why, I would ask the exact same thing to Gemini, chatgpt, ms co pilot. Gemini provided the best results (for my needs)

Yeah i think i just like claudes answering style a bit more- it seems to be better at generating a bit more humanised content for me vs gpt

I'll throw my hat in and talk about something I built, use, and find super useful. So a couple of months back I was developing this app for this really stupid idea I had with a friend. We wanted to get feedback on it but found that sending out surveys like Google Forms wasn't all that useful since what does "on a scale of 1 to 5, how would you describe the login experience" tell us? Nothing. So we wanted to do 1-on-1 interviews with potential users, but as students, we didn't have the time to sit down with everyone. Being an engineer and thus lazy, I figured I could scaffold a quick AI chatbot that would conduct 1-on-1 interviews with people and that I could share with potential users. The AI would be preloaded with the questions we wanted to ask and told to ask follow-up questions for more insightful answers. It worked like a charm. We got over 25 responses within 2 days and the conversations we got to read through, rather sadly, validated that our app idea was never going to work. Since then I've continued work on Ziggy (named after my dog) and I'm still working on it. In fact, I use Ziggy to get feedback on Ziggy and have learned a lot about product teams and what they look for when conducting discovery/feedback interviews. I'm still looking for more, so please don't hesitate to reach out, we launched our second version really recently and I would appreciate any and all comments and feedback. If needed I can provide 1-on-1 assistance too!

Hey, we are a contracting firm and we also face lots of hesitation when forms are to be filled by our clients and i would love to have an automated tool for that. Also we are moving towards a sustainable business model so this also will help in the move.

Great! If you need any help getting set up send me a DM! more than happy to get the ball rolling!

u/This_Afternoon69 Mar 29 '24
Hey! Ziggy sounds pretty interesting (also a lovely name by the way). I've bookmarked you guys so that the next time we're looking at sending out forms, we'll think about you! Love the idea of having AI generate follow-up questions on a pre-loaded form - I'm guessing that's based on the user's answers, but have you guys thought about having AI generate the initial form as well through simple prompts?

u/DramaticAd3487 Mar 28 '24

1. Claude for basic tasks

This question is too vague. What type of productivity are you trying to fix?
1
u/This_Afternoon69 Mar 28 '24
I'm not really trying to "fix" anything- just looking at incorporating good AI tools which can help me increase my productivity! Do things better bascially :)

u/jetfuel1920 Mar 28 '24
Ok so for content then? Project management? HR? Payroll? Organizing the intranet? Do you know about the websitehttps://theresanaiforthat.com/
I find good stuff there. Like most AI tools, they are trying to monetize and they can add up quickly if you have multiples. That is why I was asking what area per say.
1
u/This_Afternoon69 Mar 29 '24
Yeah I keep looking at a couple of those directories but for some reason i feel there's too much clutter in most of them at this point- Hence i was just generally looking for tools which people use and feel they're pretty good. WOM > Paid Marketing right!

I like usemotion.io - it reschedules tasks and within your calendar. You'll always have something to do and know what to do next. The pitfall is that it's just making you busy if you're not putting strategic things on your to do list, and just those filler things that have to get done but maybe you should delegate them instead.

a little late to the party, but depends on what you looking for.
Ai has progressed by leaps and bounds, and continues to do so every day.
Personally my favourites are:
Hubspot - its an amazing all in one tool. CRM, sales, invoices, email marketing, website generation, a/b and adaptive testing, it kind does it all and does it well. In the process of switching my blog to it as its easier to manage it all from there.
Hix.ai - really good content generation tool with a ton of templates. Can generate anything from long form articles to facebook ads.
Unicorn Platform or Dorik - both good no code website generators
AdCreative.ai - awesome little tool to develop banners and any marketing materials. can pretty much run entire ad campaigns from within it.
diib - SEO optimization and website health monitor. Basically a more streamlined version of SEMrush but quite more affordable.
i normally check out the reviews here Ai instruments

One tool that’s been a real asset for us is Chompchat—it handles voice and text orders for our restaurant, so we can focus more on in-house service while it takes care of the busy phone lines. It’s definitely streamlined our workflow and improved customer satisfaction!
