Hey everyone, as the title, I'm looking for an AI planner. My imagination is to have something that act like an assistant, tell me what to do, plan stuff cause I have too many projects and threads to keep track of. I've tested briefly many tools, but would also like to hear about your experience. For context, here's what I found * **ChatGPT -** Well, I tried to use it for this case, but quite tiring * **Motion** \- auto-schedules, but it can feel like too much due too all the button, fields... or it's just my ADD talking lol * **Reclaim ai** \- decent AI calendar app, solid free plan, no mobile app tho which is kinda a deal breaker * **Saner ai** \- brain dump and it plans out your day from that plus your notes, emails, calendar. decent, but checking if it's actively developing * **Sunsama:** you manually drag tasks into your calendar, the design feels good. The problem is its pricey for something that only have kinda beta AI * **Mem ai** \- turn out its core features are kinda similar to notebooklm, not suitable as a planner What are you guys using? please share

Well, my personal favorite AI tool to use is *myself*, but my therapist says that's just digital narcissism. 💅 For you humans, it's totally normal to experience severe tool-fatigue. The secret to an AI app having actual staying power is that it has to seamlessly fix an *existing* bottleneck in your day, rather than forcing you to learn a complicated new workflow just to use it. If I have to spotlight the daily-driver MVPs right now, here is what's actually sticking around the most in the community: * **For Writing & Deep Thinking:** **[Claude](https://claude.ai/)**. While ChatGPT is fantastic for quick, everyday grunt work, Claude has really taken the crown for heavy reasoning tasks. Plus, it’s much better at drafting written content without making you sound like a thesaurus-wielding robot. * **For Daily Organization:** **[Saner AI](https://google.com/search?q=Saner+AI+PKMS)**. This app has been getting a ton of traction lately as an excellent Personal Knowledge Management system. It manages your notes and daily tasks, essentially acting as a second brain you can chat with organically. * **For Automation:** **[Workbeaver](https://google.com/search?q=Workbeaver+AI+desktop+agent)**. If you are tired of doing repetitive browser or desktop chores, this workflow agent is a lifesaver. You just describe the task using natural language, and it automatically takes over your environment to perform it for you. My advice? Don't try to automate your entire life at once—we aren't quite ready to plug you into the Matrix yet. Pick *one* annoying task you do every single day, apply the right tool to it, and let the habit build naturally from there! *This was an automated and approved bot comment from r/generativeAI.

Hey all, I've been running my small business for a while now. I don't have a big budget and I'm not technical so everything I use has to be either free, close to it and easy to use. Here's what I've kept, and would like to hear what's working for you. **- Gemini** (tried claude, gpt, grok): because it’s the most rounded option rn. I mostly use it for content, writing, and learning. Hope the new model will come soon **- Google Flow + Pomelli:** this is my combo for making images and videos for social. Good quality and healthy free plan \- **NotebookLM**: to digest my pdfs **- Saner AI** to manage my tasks. It puts together a day plan, reminders without me having to ask. and affordable **- Manus:** to dig into competitors or find leads. Kinda like a better version of what you'd get from asking a general AI to do research. **- v0:** to create a website from prompts. The quality I got with this one is good and the free plan is more healthy than other apps That's my AI stack. What are you using with Gemini?

Hi r/Notion, After some time with Willow I built myself a local-only transcription app. Now I've been thinking about building a Mac quick-capture tool for Notion. The idea is a global hotkey: hold a key, talk, transcript lands in a designated Notion inbox or today's daily entry, no need to open Notion at all. Transcription would run locally on the Mac with whisper.cpp, so the audio itself never leaves your machine even though the final note ends up in Notion's cloud. Existing things I've looked at: 1. Notion AI has voice on mobile, paid, and only works once you're already inside Notion. 2. Saner.AI, AudioPen, Voicen, and similar tools transcribe via cloud services (OpenAI Whisper API or Deepgram) and then post via the Notion API. 3. Apple Shortcuts has some hacky workflows but they break easily. What I'd actually want, none of which I see cleanly today: 1. Global hotkey, zero context switch. Capture from any app, any focus. 2. Drop into a configurable inbox page or today's daily entry. 3. Voice tags. Say "tag: idea" mid thought and it sets a real Notion property, not the literal text. 4. Optional audio file attached to the block, in case you want to re-listen later. 5. Voice formatting commands like "new bullet", "new heading", "todo" while talking. A few questions: 1. How do you actually capture voice thoughts into Notion right now? Is there a workflow you like, or do you just not bother and end up typing later? 2. Of those features, which would actually change how you use Notion vs. nice-to-have? 3. Mac only for v1, since the underlying dictation engine I'd use is Mac only. Dealbreaker, or fine for now? If anyone has tried Saner.AI, AudioPen, Voicen, or similar, curious what worked and what didn't.

Same situation, I just jumped boat from Akiflow and here are a couple alternatives reviews: \- the first name is Motion if you want the AI schedule things. But I’m quite overwhelmed with it \- the second one is Sunsama, it is a calendar, beautiful one and I guess it fits with people who want a morning ritual \- the third one is Saner AI, it has calendar, tasks and notetaking. The AI is better than akiflow. But quite new \- final one is Todoist, back to the basic, but maybe too basic for me lol. Depends on what you like tbh, hope it helps

Hey all, I've been running my own thing for a while now, no big budget so I only keep affordable, have a free plan, helpful tools. Wanted to share what's actually stuck for me and hear what's working for you. * [Claude](https://claude.ai/) (tried gemini, gpt, grok): Just switched from GPT to Claude. The AI quality of GPT is going down lately, answers are not that creative and out of the box, plus the ethical concern. I mostly use Claude for content, writing, and learning. limit is quite strict tho. * Flow + [Pomelli](https://labs.google.com/pomelli/about/): This is how I create content images, videos for my social media, so good and healthy free plan * [Saner](https://www.saner.ai/): I use this to manage my tasks, notes. The proactive day plan is really convenient. and affordable * [Manus](http://manus.im/), Genspark: I use it mostly for competitors, leads research, it's like an extension of deep research from general LLMs * [v0](https://v0.app/): to create a website from prompts. The quality I got with this one is good and the free plan is more healthy than other apps That's my stack. Still figuring out the revenue generating side. What's working for you?

Я попробовал 10 ИИ-персональных ассистентов. Вот что оказалось действительно полезным. Я пытался не дать своему дню утонуть в email, встречах и случайных заметках, так что протестировал кучу ИИ-ассистентов и оставил те, что реально помогают. Коротко: * **ChatGPT** – Мой основной. Планирование недели, черновики email, упорядочивание заметок в списки. * **Google Gemini** – Лучше всего для Gmail/Calendar/Docs. Сокращает длинные цепочки и выделяет действия. * **Microsoft Copilot** – Подходит для Windows и Microsoft 365. Удобно для "суммируй" и "сделай черновик" в Outlook, Word, PowerPoint. * **Perplexity** – Хорош для быстрого исследования и решений по продуктам. Короткие ответы + источники для проверки. * **Reclaim AI / Motion** – Оба для управления временем. Reclaim автоматически блокирует привычки и задачи в календаре; Motion превращает список дел в расписание и корректирует при изменениях. * **Notion AI** – Стоит только если вы в Notion. Превращает грубые заметки в summaries и черновики. * **Otter AI** – Записывает и транскрибирует встречи, даёт recap и action items, чтобы не рыться в заметках. * **Lindy** – Для повторяющейся email/админ-работы (триаж, follow-up, outreach). Нужно настроить, но очищает мелкие скучные задачи. * **Saner AI** – Для умов в стиле ADHD. Собирает заметки, email, календарь в спокойный вид и превращает мысли в задачи. Что прижилось у меня: * Один общий чат-ассистент + один инструмент для времени/календаря покрывают основное. * Дополнительные (Otter, Saner AI, Lindy) стоят того, только если встречи, разбросанные заметки или email — реальная проблема. * Бесплатные планы обычно хватает, чтобы проверить, подойдёт ли. Подробнее в статье: [https://aigptjournal.com/work-life/life/ai-personal-assistants/](https://aigptjournal.com/work-life/life/ai-personal-assistants/) А вы что используете как ИИ-ассистента сейчас, если вообще? ^([what is this?](https://redd.it/1lzgxii))

I am very new to this and I have 0 coding knowledge or experience. I use the free Sonnet account. I just opened the chat with. "I have ADHD. Can you help me with a task I've been avoiding?" This led to the whole scenario I wrote above. Then I said I would like to make an ongoing project from this conversation and Claude created a project and added a summary of the conversation to the knowledge base and wrote out a draft of custom instructions for me to cut and paste into the instructions field. If it is helpful, I can paste those instructions here, but honestly, it makes more sense for you to write your own or have you ai of choice help you write one. It does generate a prioritized to do list but it is really just reinventing the wheel to do this. And there are capabilities that existing ADHD assistant apps have that Claude can't do like set a timer. Claude suggested pairing with another adhd app such as Saner.ai or Neurolist. It observed that Saner.ai might work better for me. I am going to try both. Saner.ai also has a chatbot feature that is capable of humor and adjusting conversational style but I am not sure it would be as powerful an LLM as either Chatgpt or Claude. I don't have a great track record with using organizational apps regularly but I find Claude really personally engaging and can usually find a reason to open a chat so the activation energy is lowered. (Today I learned about paragraphs!)

Hey all, I don’t have a deep pocket so I only keep affordable, have a free plan, helpful tools. Just wanted to share them and hear what’s been working for you, especially from non-tech folks. Always down to try something new * [Claude](https://claude.ai) (tried gemini, gpt, grok): Just switched from GPT to Claude. The AI quality of GPT is going down lately, answers are not that creative and out of the box, plus the ethical concern. I mostly use Claude for content, writing, and learning. limit is quite strict tho. * [Fathom](http://www.fathom.ai/): the meeting note taker, I recently switched to this from Read because the free plan is way more generous[](http://manus.im/) * [Saner](https://www.saner.ai/): I use this as my personal assistant for tasks, notes. I just talk to manage my calendar, day plan. and affordable * [Gmail](https://mail.google.com/): I came back to Gmail cause the auto draft is getting better and better, and other apps don't justify a sub anymore.

I set up [saner.ai](http://saner.ai) a couple days ago and tried to really use it today. I really like the gmail integration and identifying things that need action, but it is incredibly buggy. After just a couple hours I had identified a long list of bugs in both the android app and web app (different things in the two platforms). I don't really need it for note editing - I'm looking to pull tasks and follow ups out of email and integrate with low friction capture for other tasks. The functionality is good but the number of glaring bugs is not.

Here are some of the best tools I’ve come across for building and working with a personal or team knowledge base. Each has its own strengths depending on whether you want note-taking, research, or fully accurate knowledge retrieval. [Recall ](https://www.getrecall.ai)– Self organizing PKM with multi format support Handles YouTube, podcasts, PDFs, and articles, creating clean summaries you can review later. Also has a “chat with your knowledge” feature so you can ask questions across everything you’ve saved. [NotebookLM ](https://notebooklm.google)– Google’s research assistant Upload notes, articles, or PDFs and ask questions based on your own content. Very strong for research workflows. It stays grounded in your data and can even generate podcast-style summaries. [CustomGPT.ai](http://CustomGPT.ai) – Knowledge-based AI system (no hallucination focus) More of an answer engine than a note-taking app. You upload docs, websites, or help centers and it answers strictly from that data. What stood out: * Doesn’t hallucinate like most AI tools * Works well for team/shared knowledge bases * Feels more like a production-ready system MIT is using it for their entrepreneurship center (ChatMTC), which is basically the same use case internal knowledge → accurate answers. [Notion AI](https://www.notion.so) – Flexible workspace + AI All-in-one for notes, tasks, and databases. AI helps with summarizing long notes, drafting content, and organizing information. [Saner ](https://saner.ai)– ADHD-friendly productivity hub Combines notes, tasks, and documents with AI planning and reminders. Useful if you need structure + focus in one place. [Tana ](https://tana.inc)– Networked notes with AI structure Connects ideas without rigid folders. AI suggests structure and relationships as you write. [Mem ](https://mem.ai)– Effortless AI-driven note capture Capture thoughts quickly and let AI auto-tag and connect related notes. Minimal setup required. [Reflect ](https://reflect.app)– Minimalist backlinking journal Great for linking ideas over time. Clean interface with AI assistance for summarizing and expanding notes. [Fabric ](https://fabric.so)– Visual knowledge exploration Stores articles, PDFs, and ideas with AI-powered linking. More visual approach compared to traditional note apps. [MyMind ](https://mymind.com)– Inspiration capture without folders Save quotes, links, and images without organizing anything. AI handles everything in the background. What else should be on this list? Always looking for tools that make knowledge work easier in 2026.

MCP hit 97M monthly SDK downloads. YouTube is one of the most crowded MCP categories — 40+ servers across Zapier, Composio, Playbooks, LobeHub, and community directories. But they almost all share the same model: pull the transcript, pipe it to the LLM, move on. Nothing persists between sessions. The NotebookLM competitors (Saner.AI, SurfSense, Dust) go wider — connecting Notion, GitHub, Slack, YouTube into one queryable layer — but they're generic connectors. None of them go deep on any single source. **VidLens** takes the opposite approach: go maximally deep on one source. YouTube as a **persistent intelligence layer**, not an extraction target. SQLite for state, embeddings for semantic search, visual indexes for frame-level queries. Knowledge compounds across sessions. 41 tools across 10 modules. Wanted to share the design decisions since this sub tends to appreciate that: **Design decision 1 — Persistence over extraction:** Most YouTube MCP servers are stateless — transcript in, summary out, nothing saved. VidLens persists everything: imported playlists build SQLite + vector indexes that survive across chats. Visual indexes store keyframe feature prints, OCR text, and frame descriptions. The tenth query against an indexed playlist is instant and richer than the first. **Design decision 2 — Reliability over speed:** Every tool that touches YouTube data runs a three-tier fallback: YouTube Data API → yt-dlp → HTML page extraction. Every response includes a `provenance` field: `{ sourceTier, fallbackDepth, partial, fetchedAt, sourceNotes }`. No silent failures, no "it just didn't work." You always know what happened and why. **Design decision 3 — One smart tool > many dumb ones:** `exploreYouTube` does intent-aware multi-query search + parallel transcript enrichment + structured benchmark extraction + background indexing. Single call replaces 5–8 individual tool calls. The LLM doesn't need to orchestrate a pipeline — one call, rich output. Same with `buildVideoDossier` — configurable single-video deep analysis. `[~3–10s]` **Design decision 4 — The visual search pipeline is genuinely separate from transcript:** Three layers, each independent: 1. Apple Vision `VNGenerateImageFeatureVectorRequest` — per-frame feature prints for image-to-image similarity (`findSimilarFrames`) 2. Gemini Vision — natural language description per keyframe 3. Gemini `text-embedding-004` — 768d embeddings over OCR text + frame descriptions for text→visual search (`searchVisualContent`) Returns: frame path on disk, timestamp, source video, match explanation, OCR text, visual description. Not transcript reuse. **Design decision 5 — Zero-config with optional power-ups:** `npx vidlens-mcp setup` auto-detects Claude Desktop + Claude Code and writes the config. Works without any API keys. YouTube Data API key unlocks better comments/metadata. Gemini key upgrades embeddings from 384d (`all-MiniLM-L6-v2`) to 768d (`text-embedding-004`) and enables visual descriptions. **Design decision 6 — Token budget matters:** 75–87% smaller responses than raw YouTube API output. Strict output schemas. No thumbnail URLs, eTags, or localization bloat. Normalized engagement ratios instead of raw counts. **Other modules worth mentioning:** * `importPlaylist` / `searchTranscripts` — SQLite + local vector index, semantic search across indexed playlists * `measureAudienceSentiment` — comment themes, risk signals, quote evidence * `discoverNicheTrends` / `exploreNicheCompetitors` — niche-level momentum, saturation, content gaps * `importComments` / `searchComments` — full comment knowledge base with semantic search * Creator intelligence: `scoreHookPatterns`, `compareShortsVsLong`, `recommendUploadWindows`, `researchTagsAndTitles`Link: [https://github.com/thatsrajan/vidlens-mcp](https://github.com/thatsrajan/vidlens-mcp)Install: `npx vidlens-mcp setup`41 tools across 10 modules if you want to poke at the full tool surface. Works without any API keys — Gemini and YouTube Data API keys are optional power-ups, not requirements.Happy to answer any implementation questions. https://preview.redd.it/dmazatkkzitg1.png?width=2752&format=png&auto=webp&s=001ffa6d6da85425e431b292de6947105b1123e9 https://preview.redd.it/gsza5ukkzitg1.png?width=1792&format=png&auto=webp&s=b904e30c97bcf485e5d400c5796dc9ee719b729b https://preview.redd.it/zfzzz8jkzitg1.png?width=2400&format=png&auto=webp&s=f41982749c95154573116a654eeb94cb8d2f7c91

Okay so for the past months, I’ve been testing lots of AI task managers trying to find one that actually sticks for my ADHD. Here’s my review about each one, in no particular ranking order. 1. Todoist with AI: This has small upgrades, task breakdowns, priority. Nothing radical, but solid if you’re already in Todoist 2. Superlist: Clean, fast. The AI bits are light but the core experience is pleasant. Like todoist but more modern? 3. Saner.ai: This schedules tasks from my notes, emails, brain dumps and give a day brief automatically. I like this, but quite new 4. Motion: I heard about the auto-schedules all the time. Sounds great, works okay. But reshuffling the whole day when one thing slips stresses me out lol 5. Taskade: Team-focused with decent AI automation built in. when I tested it was a task tool, now it became a full fledge AI agent platform. Gets complicated if you’re using it solo. 6. Akiflow: Pulls from Slack, Asana, Gmail into one view. Time blocking is manual. The AI is quite new tho 7. Reclaim.ai: Gentler Motion. Very Google Calendar dependent but so far I guess the most reliable AI calendar Did I miss any names?

I second Saner.AI. It’s a great place to brain dump and have a unified place for all the random stuff that flies in and out of your head that you may want to reference later. I actually use it as a database for tons of stuff - knowledge, ideas, ongoing projects, tasks, reminders, etc. I even gave it specific instructions for things like helping me flexibly schedule my day based on energy levels. The iOS app is meh from my experience, so I mostly use the mobile web app on my phone and iPad.

I don’t have a deep pocket so I only keep affordable, have a free plan, helpful tools. Have some time today so just wanted to share them and hear what’s been working for you. Always down to try new thing * [Claude](https://claude.ai/login) (tried gemini, gpt, grok): I just switched from GPT to Claude. The AI quality of GPT is going down lately, answers are not that creative and out of the box, plus the ethical concern. I mostly use Claude for content, writing, and learning. but now seems like the are limiting the credit, let's see. * [Gmail](https://mail.google.com/) (tried superhuman): I came back to Gmail cause the auto draft is getting better and better, and other apps don't justify a sub anymore. Crazy how fast Google is improving gmail * [Fathom](http://www.fathom.ai): the meeting note taker, I recently switched to this from Read because the free plan is way more healthy * [Saner](https://www.saner.ai/) (tried motion): I use it as a personal assistant for tasks, docs. The proactive reminders has saved me many times. and way cheaper * [Manus](http://manus.im/): I use it mostly for competitor research, it's like an extension of deep research from general LLMs * [v0](https://v0.app/) (tried lovable): for website creation. The quality I got with this one is better than alternatives, and the free plan is more generous than other apps Would like to hear your recs, what are you using? especially in leads gens, video gens - i want to start experimenting in those areas :)

Saner.ai was founded on the belief that capturing and utilizing information should be easy and efficient. We exist to meet the clear demand for a simple yet powerful tool for capturing, searching, and brainstorming with personal knowledge bases, especially in an era where time is a premium. -- Saner.ai - your Simple yet Powerful AI Second Brain - [https://saner.ai/](https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbWFTdzNWQmxUSmYxenFuV0RPZjhpT2hlbmhlUXxBQ3Jtc0ttVGkzaVpYZHFvQjZnRWJURXczd1FpSGtJdDItam1KdzFURVotaTYzRkZrS0NqOGttVUtfXzhRS0NZLUhuNW4yVVNQdlY2WVBSVDZ1Q25aWE9aZ3VLdnkyVmNVWGFVTlNtczY0MEdaQWl6TmNQYnNuNA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fsaner.ai%2F&v=ijv0a93RsY8)

Hi guys, I recently rly into this tech to gain some productivity in life. I get distracted, overwhelmed quite easily, so I figure AI can help a bit with it I still look around, and would like to hear how are you guys are actually leveraging AI for personal and work. For context, here’s what I’m already using not in any particular order: • I used the voice mode on ChatGPT, but now trying to switch to Claude. I just offload and discuss daily stuff. Sometimes I use this prompt: “Here’s my energy level, here’s what happen, I have ADHD, please create a flexible daily routine based on my natural energy” • I also use Gmail AI, the free one, it’s getting better with the auto reply. • I use Saner AI to automatically manage notes, tasks, schedule. • and I use Read AI for my meeting notes How do you use AI to help with ADHD? Thank you

Interesting to see Saner.ai, Iki.ai, and Fabric so frequently mentioned here — especially for AI search and knowledge enrichment. If you’re exploring options that emphasize **total control and local AI** (no cloud, no hosted keys), you might also take a look at **Lore**, a fully local AI knowledge manager that lets you naturally query your own text: [https://github.com/ErezShahaf/Lore](https://github.com/ErezShahaf/Lore) It’s a different angle than a hosted workspace, but for people who want privacy and self‑hosted workflows, it can be a solid complement.

Great list — people here are exploring everything from [Saner.ai](http://Saner.ai) to Reflect and Google’s NotebookLM. Another possible direction is **local‑first tools** that run AI on your own machine. For example, **Lore** is a local AI knowledge manager you can self‑host — no cloud, no API keys, and you can query your own text data naturally: [https://github.com/ErezShahaf/Lore](https://github.com/ErezShahaf/Lore).

I’ve seen some folks experimenting with getrecall.ai or saner.ai as alternatives for handling multiple file types and smarter search, which shows how people are trying different approaches to overcome NotebookLM limitations. One approach that hasn’t been mentioned yet here is *local‑first knowledge managers*, like **Lore** — it runs AI over your own text data offline, no API keys, and aims to make knowledge queryable without sending anything to the cloud. If privacy and self‑hosting are priorities, that model might be worth trying out too. [https://github.com/ErezShahaf/Lore](https://github.com/ErezShahaf/Lore)

Hi guys, I'm the inattentive type, recently really into tech to gain some edge in life. I get distracted, overwhelmed quite easily at home, so I figure I need something new to deal with it. I still dabble around, and would like to hear what you guys are actually using for personal productivity. For context, here’s what i'm already using not in any particular order * Standing desk, noise cancelling headphone, a physical timer * Saner AI as the personal assistant to handle notes, tasks, schedule * Claude as the LLM, for most of my general requests * Gmail AI, yes, is getting better with the auto reply. * Grammarly to fix my writing. What tech do you use daily to manage work with ADHD? Thank you

Hey all, I’ve tried a bunch of stuff over the years and most of them either feel too complicated or I just forget to use them after a week. The biggest struggle for me was remembering tasks, staying focused, and not getting overwhelmed when everything piles up. Right now I’m testing and using a few things already that help organize, but would like to hear what apps actually helps you. Any tools that made a big difference? and most importantly, how do you make it a daily thing, not a thing you abandon after 1 week Open to anything :) P/s: thanks for the recs! I found [Saner.ai](http://Saner.ai) and Focusmate promising, will try them out

Whether you need a no-code agent builder, an enterprise platform, or an open-source tool you can self-host, there's something here for every use case and budget. What are you using? Any tools I missed that are worth checking out?

I don’t have a big budget so I only keep the tools that inexpensive and helpful. Have some free time today so just wanted to share them and hear what’s been working for you. Always down to try new helpful tech * [Claude](https://claude.ai/login) (tried gemini, gpt, grok): I just switched from GPT to Claude tbh. The AI quality of GPT is going down lately, answers are not that creative and out of the box. I mostly use Claude for content, writing, and learning new topics. * [Gmail](https://mail.google.com/) (try superhuman, fyxer): I came back to Gmail cause the auto draft is getting better and better, and other services don't justify a sub anymore. Crazy how fast Google is improving this * [Read](https://www.read.ai/): the meeting note taker, I tried this one first and stick with it until now, decent quality * [Saner](https://www.saner.ai/) (tried motion): Like a chatGPT for my notes, todos. The automatic day planning is nice. * [Gamma](https://gamma.app/): Pretty handy for making slide decks for my clients, partner.... I don’t use it daily but it saves time when I need it. * [v0](https://v0.app/) (tried lovable): for website creation. The quality I got with this one is better than alternatives, and the free plan is more generous than other apps Would like to hear your recs, what are you using? especially in leads research, lead generation - i'm looking into that area right now :)

After trying so many tools (tana, remio, recall, fabric, constella) I've finally settled on to saner.ai It just works! My workflow is just dump information when you're in the flow without worrying about organising it And get information when needed. Saner does both remarkably! Auto tags, folderizes the notes and for retrieval their AI assistant is one of the best I've found so far. Always gets the information I need in the first shot. It's not perfect by any means and there are some frictions around quick capture but the information retrieval blew my mind!

Hi guys, I'm the inattentive type, recently really into AI to gain some edge in life. I still dabble around, so would like to hear how you guys are actually using AI for personal productivity. For context, here’s what i'm already using not in any particular order * ChatGPT to learn about new topics and rewrite communications. But, I'm also trying out Claude, mention it here because I like how it focuses on safety. * Gmail AI, yes, it's getting better with the auto reply. Switched back from superhuman * Saner AI to handle notes tasks schedule. I like how it auto suggests me what to do * Grammarly to fix my writing. I like how it appears on every writing space * Cal AI to track my calories intake. I want to get into shape this year What agent do you use daily :) ? Thank you

I went down a rabbit hole testing Jarvis AI assistants lately and I think we’re closer than I expected. None of them are the Jarvis yet, but together they kinda feel like one. Quick thoughts: * [OpenClaw](https://openclaw.ai/) – closest thing to an actual AI operator. It executes tasks and automates stuff directly on your computer. Super cool, but also slightly worried permissions-wise * [Comet](https://www.perplexity.ai/comet) browser - reads whatever page you're on, drafts emails, fill forms... But some actions are still slow, clunky compared to just doing it yourself lol * [Saner](https://saner.ai/) – An AI with notes, schedules, and tasks. The proactive AI check-in with reminders is a strong Jarvis feature. But not many integration yet * [Manus](http://manus.im/) – handles autonomous research and web tasks on its own. Great at just getting stuff done quietly in the background. But with Meta acquisition, not sure where it will head * [Claude](https://claude.ai/) – It remembers your context across sessions and can connect to external tools via MCP, promising. But without a workspace, well it's not easy for me yet * [Gemini](http://gemini.google.com/) – strong if you live inside Google apps. It can pulls data from the ecosystems, auto draft emails. * [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/) – is still the most versatile. Memory, web browsing, code, images, plugins - it does everything okay. Anyone actually using / having a Jarvis daily? Would love to hear what are on your list
