The Best AI Tools to Help You Work and Create

Artificial intelligence is having an ever-growing influence on our tech, sometimes in ways that you perhaps haven't noticed. As well as playing Minecraft and spotting disease, AI engines can lend a hand when it comes to the day-to-day business of staying productive and creative--and a lot of the latest AI tools are accessible to anyone who wants to use them, with or without a computer science degree. Here we've rounded up some of our current favorites, and they may be able to save you a substantial amount of time in your week. We've opted for the more simple, effective AI tools out there, the ones that actually have a practical use right now -- and we've also kept AI art generators off this list because we have a separate round-up for those. For many of us, emails are a real time sink--but Gmail has a sprinkling of AI that can help.
