What AI tools genuinely improved your workflow - your experience

[Forge89]

A lot of people talk about AI productivity but the real question is which tools actually save meaningful time every day. Some AI apps feel impressive for a week and then become forgettable once the novelty fades. Others quietly become part of a daily routine without much hype

The most interesting examples usually come from practical use cases like coding assistance, writing summaries, automation and research. It seems like the best tools are the ones that reduce repetitive work instead of trying to replace creativity completely
