Get work done.

The boring bits, done faster and better. Summarising documents, taking meeting notes, sorting your files, filling in forms nobody wants to fill in. This is the biggest category on the site by some distance.

Most of it is free. A handful, like automated meeting notes or letting AI use your computer for you, need paid tools, and those are marked clearly. This is where AI earns its keep quietly, in the background, without you noticing much. It’s not glamorous. It’s just useful, which honestly might be better.
