Best AI Productivity tools

monday.com has evolved from a project board into a capable work OS with genuinely useful AI features. The AI assistant handles task summaries, email drafting, and formula generation well. Best suited for teams already managing projects in monday who want to automate more of the busywork.

Notion AI works best as a complement to an existing Notion workflow. The AI features are well-integrated — summarizing, drafting, and reformatting content feels natural. As a standalone AI tool, it's underwhelming, but for Notion users, it's a no-brainer upgrade.

Otter.ai is the best meeting transcription tool for most people. Accuracy is strong for English, the meeting summary feature saves real time, and the free tier is generous enough to evaluate properly. Speaker identification could be better in noisy environments.
