Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
No. 5 Superhuman. Look if you're sending 20+ emails a day and using Gmail, you are doing it wrong. Superhuman is stupid fast. Everything is a keyboard shortcut and you can see when people open your stuff. It's worth it if email is eating your day. No. 3 Perplexity. ChatGPT is great for writing and answering questions, but when I need to research something, I use Perplexity. It's basically a next gen search engine. Instead of just a list of links like in Google, you get a real answer with sources cited. And it's way easier to find up to date information like restaurant recommendations or current events. No. 4 NotebookLM. You just dump in whatever content you're working with, articles, research notes, and it actually understands it. It creates summaries, finds connections that you missed, and even makes this podcast style audio breakdowns. It's free, it's from Google, so no idea why more people aren't using this. No. 2 Dia browser. The design is insanely clean, super minimal with actually good taste. You can put tabs on the side or hide them completely if you want to focus. And here's the cool part, you can create custom skills. Basically you teach it how to do specific tasks for you. Like I have one that pulls key insights from any article I'm reading and formats it in a way I want. It's like building your own AI assistant inside your browser. It has access to your tabs open and your browsing history, so you can ask anything about what you're browsing and it gives you an answer. No more switching to ChatGPT and back. And No. 1 Wispr Flow. I'm too lazy to type and this is a perfect speech to text tool. But it's not just transcription, it edits everything on the go so you can send it straight to Slack without fixing anything weird that you accidentally said or duplicate words. You just talk and it handles the rest. If you write anything for work, this saves hours every week. Comment below which one you're gonna try first.
