If you haven't been living under a rock for the past few years, you've likely heard about AI. It's the number one subject in tech circles, and for a good reason.

The recent advancements in image and video generation software make many people wonder how far these improvements can take us.

But AI assistants — an invention that has been with us for quite some time now — are equally impressive.

AI-powered personal virtual assistants like Google Assistant, Siri, or Alexa offer a suite of features that allow you to streamline almost every aspect of your everyday life.

They can manage your calendar, set reminders, send messages, and provide quick answers to queries.

So, basically, they just complete tasks that your usual, real-life assistant would do — without the need for a salary.

It's almost like having an office buddy who always has time for you.

In a world obsessed with optimization, automation tools are becoming equally important.

Platforms like Zapier and IFTTT (If This Then That) allow you to automate repetitive tasks so you can focus on more valuable activities.

E-commerce giants like Amazon are basically required to use automation — the sheer amount of data they need to handle is too overwhelming.

Automation can stretch from simple tasks like moving files to complex workflows involving multiple applications. How you use it depends solely on your needs.
