Best AI Productivity software, apps and tools

586 curated resources for ai productivity, online and offline.

Built with love by Shushant Lakhyani. Building bestproductivityresources.com

AI productivity tools use large language models and agents to draft, summarise, research, organise and automate work. The useful ones save time on a specific job rather than promising to do everything.

This is the directory's largest category, from AI assistants and meeting note-takers to coding agents and automation tools. Check each tool's data policy before giving it access to your files, email or accounts, and keep a person reviewing anything it sends or publishes.
