Summary:
7 free ai productivity tools I use every day to get more done, plus 5 bonus ai tools that are great for productivity, but may not apply to everyone. I introduce the Mind, Machine, and Method productivity system with ai tools as the machines with a method to get them into the mind aka second brain. I use Notion as the second brain / mind in this system. AI tools have made huge leaps and can help to greatly increase productivity, but there are so many tools launching trying to capitalize on the AI hype, but are overpriced and not useful. I cut through the noise with the 7 AI productivity tools I actually use to save time.

Goodness - this has to be staggeringly helpful to anyone looking to launch into this space and who continues to sit on the fence because they are overawed by the volume of what’s out there (and realises that it’s getting harder to get started with every day’s delay) - thankyou so much!

[@futurepedia_io]

Glad I could help!

Fantastic info! Thank you! 🙏

Another informative video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

awesome as usual. thanks

Super awesome video thank u def fave tools and easier to send info overview w ur video to hubby time saver than explaining each tool lol

Thanks for including us 😊

[@sirwolly]

Does the Arc browser offer the same level of privacy protection as browsers like Firefox or Brave?

[@BobHerres]

Wow TY! I don't know how you do it... you certainly cram a lot into every video! Everything is always very concisely demonstrated.... I sometimes watch videos at faster speeds... But never on this channel!! 😁

[@stormstereo]

Thanks man, a lot of good stuff for me in this one.

[@futurepedia_io]

Glad to hear it!

[@JemarSewell]

Not an NPC comment like everyone else. I used to get caught up in productivity thing but it's just a big waste of time create and managing of this instead of doing something actually productive.

[@AdiGoldsteinComposer]

I wish that every video I watch in the future will be as beneficial as this one. Thank you for sharing.

[@futurepedia_io]

Glad it was helpful!

[@markr8604]

As always - excellent informative video. Still only channel that when filler is included, it's still valuable. The gamma suggestion looks really good.

Much appreciated!

Hi Thanks a lot for your work. What about privacy please. I am using Brave, and I would appreciate a fair comparison.

@futurepedia do you know when arc browser will be adapted to ipad? It’s awful at the moment :)

[@Ainoyin19]

is arc browser ready for android user?

[@citizen3000]

I think you should add the detail of what platform you are using whichever app on, and which platforms it is available on. You introduce Arc but don’t explain whether you’re using it on PC or Mac and you don’t say where else it is available. I mean, does the PC version of Arc currently have the same features of the Mac version that you seem to be using, for instance?

[@johnmoore2342]

And is it available on Windows 10, or Windows 11, etc.

[@futurepedia_io]

That's definitely good input. I saw that it's available on Windows, but don't have a PC to test it on. I could have read some reviews on it though to gather others' experience

[@HoarfrostTrickle]

@@futurepedia_io As great as Arc is, I'd say none of it's killer features are part of the Windows beta. It's still neat but as it is, it does little more than any other browsers ^^

[@karasugan]

As someone already said, Edge has had most if not all the features listed here as Arc's killer features for some time already.

[@yourbostonguy]

thank you so much for all the help. I'm so lost in this AI world and completely being left behind. lol

[@robinthekidd]

Microsoft Edge literally does the split screen and KZbin PIP, so someone had thought about it, it’s nothing new.

[@karasugan]

Exactly. It also has side tabs, automatically sorts tabs into categories and so on. There is nothing new in the browser section here.

[@scottpoerschke8807]

What is a good AI program for reviewing massive amount of documents? Make a timeline?

You can get picture in picture feature on any browser just by installing a free extension.

[@WallyMahar]

I was so excited to see arc for iOS. Until I opened it up on my iPad Pro.😢 dang it.

[@julesharper7209]

My problem with notion is that it still blocks internal/local links, no idea why they do it. It doesn't work as an information hub for me if I can't reference local information.

[@EcomCarl]

Fantastic roundup of AI tools that are reshaping productivity landscapes! Integrating such tools effectively into daily routines can drastically reduce time spent on mundane tasks, allowing professionals to focus on higher-level strategies and creative work. 👍

Look at a productivity tool called tana and use for 2 days and prep 2 have your mind blown..also heptabase

[@futurepedia_io]

Will look into them. It's hard to switch note-taking apps once you've already been using one for such a long time. The description of heptabase definitely sounds interesting

[@jarad4621]

@@futurepedia_io (Thanks for the Arc browser intro, so cool, finally got a chance to try it,also was going to cancel perplexity, never used it but the new sonar llama 3 responses are absolutely insanely good right now, best ive seen and up to date to end april, use it every day now. Nothing provides as good responses on online data, helping with a new app or git, anything) (Back to reply)Absolutely yeah I hear you, Tana was just so good though that a dropped notion i really liked (but had gotten overloaded and confusing thats the problem) right away as Tana was so instantly intuitive and efficient and ultra fast it felt so natural and in sync with my mind, i could save stuff and not hate it or have it take long and also be organised in 3 seconds, while making 1 note on 1 today screen and in a few extra key presses organizes it pefectly into supertags, projects, links, tasks and references to build the KB in seconds for later reference, all from 1 single sentence and only the keyboard without changing screens, nothing takes useful notes this fast its so cool. Tana sounds meh when you look at it info or site, seems like other stuff, it has to be experienced to understand, more of a click with your brain, whats special cant be described, hepta however the uniqueness and value can be seen instantly, nothing else like it out there, learning things like AI so fast piecing cards together on whiteboard, nested whiteboards, visually and the best part is seeing where the gaps are, what info on the cards go unanswered and require further research, such massive uncertainty killer, you know where you stand and what you need next, confidence. Awesome. Anyway sorry not trying to shill but never had such a productivity boom in my life before, like compelled to share ike a stupid fanboi. Anyway love the videos and channel, much respect and love and good wishes

[@Gotpower11]

Notion sure likes to call itself a “free” AI productivity tool, but the AI part isn't exactly free, is it? Cool sponsor though.

[@rajarshibhattacharya5192]

Isn't the Ask AI option free?

[@Gotpower11]

@@rajarshibhattacharya5192 $8-10 USD a month depending on your plan - it's got a whole section on the pricing page. Though they give you a handful of runs for free before you're required to purchase. "First one's free" should sound familiar here.

[@luistoledo3503]

Too low audio volume. Hard to hear you. And should advice be explicit mentioning which window you are moving from/to, as you do, since that all are in black (dark) and its hard to depict exactly what was done. Putting these critics aside, great video. Thank you ps: too low audio volume ;)

"7 free ai productivity tools I use every day to get more done" Notion is not free that is why you use a affiliate code for people to sign up... smh

You can do a massive amount under the free plan. There are paid upgrades available too, but I used the free plan for over a year before I upgraded. Also, that’s just a tracking link, not an affiliate link.

[@FUTURAPTER]

Bad tools

[@master_f]

Arc is NOT FREE. If an App mandates an email address/real name, and does Not work without it, it's not FREE! You are the product. Firefox is FREE because you don't need to give them your data for the App to work. Chrome is free until you login to a google account.. You can't say Arc is Free just because you don't need to pay money. You still pay for it, but with your valuable "email address/real name" information.. so, it is NOT FREE. The title is misleading.

[@toonix]

Generate an alias address and use a fake name then. Boom, free.

[@master_f]

@@toonix You are missing the point. Did you even read the ToS? Cheating is Not equal to free. Using your way of thinking, most games/software are also free, because you can download them from pirate sites: Boom, free lol

[@kirbylover37]

​@@master_f You're the one missing the point. Obviously when someone says "free" they mean you don't have to spend money. By your philosophical logic literally nothing in the world is free because you have to spend time/attention benefiting from the "free" thing.

[@master_f]

@@kirbylover37 When something is free, there's no obligation for an exchange. Like using Firefox - you just install it and use it. No exchange. Now with Arc, IF you don't provide your part of the deal (your true information, as it's written in the ToS) you can't even use the app. They will not allow you to use the App until you paid for it, with your true information. If it was FREE, the "payment" part (your personal data) would be optional.

[@toonix]

@@master_f Well, if you think crying about it is the better approach, go for it! I'd rather use the better product.

@@futurepedia_io that's the thing, everything sounds good in concept. Materialisation matters. It is by far the worst tech product out there. This is really a very dangerous trend, that companies have now started releasing products that are not even worth alpha testing directly to the public. Ultimately, consumers are fooled by the fake advertising
