🚀 AI Tools That Actually Boost Productivity – Daily Pick (Rev 45)

This 45th edition of “AI Tools That Actually Boost Productivity” introduces three new tools focused on browser‑native AI, smarter task management, and unified search. Each one is fresh to your series and chosen to help you research faster, decide what to do next, and find information across scattered apps.

Copilot Mode in Microsoft Edge 🌐

Copilot Mode in Microsoft Edge turns your browser into an AI workspace that understands the pages you have open and helps you act on them. It can summarize articles, compare options across tabs, generate drafts, and even perform on‑page actions like adjusting settings or managing basic browser tasks via text commands.

For knowledge workers, Copilot in Edge reduces tab overload and context‑switching. Instead of bouncing between tools, you stay inside the browser while Copilot handles research assistance, quick writing, and light automation directly on the sites you already use.

Asana AI ✅

Asana AI layers intelligent assistance on top of Asana’s existing project management features. It suggests task priorities, helps break big projects into smaller steps, automates routine updates, and can generate progress snapshots so stakeholders see how work is moving without extra status reports.

Teams use Asana AI to keep everyone focused on the most impactful tasks instead of maintaining task lists by hand. With smart prioritization and automated nudges, projects stay on track, blockers surface earlier, and the admin overhead of coordination drops.

Curiosity AI 🔍

Curiosity AI is a unified search and AI assistant for your files, emails, notes, and cloud apps. It indexes content across local drives and online tools, then lets you search or ask questions in natural language to instantly surface the right document, message, or snippet.

Remote workers and busy teams rely on Curiosity AI to cut down on time spent hunting for “where that thing was saved.” With everything searchable from one interface—and AI helping interpret fuzzy queries—you can retrieve context in seconds and get back to real work.
