AI productivity tools use large language models and agents to draft, summarise, research, organise and automate work. The useful ones save time on a specific job rather than promising to do everything.
This is the directory's largest category, from AI assistants and meeting note-takers to coding agents and automation tools. Check each tool's data policy before giving it access to your files, email or accounts, and keep a person reviewing anything it sends or publishes.
