These 13 AI Tools Will Save You 1,000 Hours in 2025

new AI tools come out every day I test a lot of them but very few make the cut into my permanent stack the ones that do tend to be tools that save the most time saving 3 hours a day saves you over a, hours per year and for a lot of people AI is already able to do that an exercise I recommend everyone do is over the course of like a week write down all your most timeconsuming tasks then set aside a day to find the best AI workflow to assist or even fully automate those

tasks many people will find that they're able to save multiple hours a day I'll go through a big list of tools across different use cases to help us that so a lot will apply to you some won't let's get into it Google felt like they were behind in AI for a while but have been dropping some amazing stuff recently A lot of it is completely free I'll cover a couple of the biggest Time Savers for me I'll start with Google AI Studios realtime AI assistant it can be used for a lot of things it's awesome

in particular for learning new software this is at aist studio. google.com there's a lot of other tools in here mostly for developers but anyone can use this one right here that says stream real time your first time doing this there will be some approvals to allow it to access your microphone and screen now I'll click start recording then select video source and pick the window I want which will be this one with Adobe Premiere all right I have Premiere Pro opened up how can I remove this background sure you want to remove the blue background

in the video you can do this by using the ultra key effect in in Premiere Pro would you like to know how to do that yes where's that okay the ultra key effect can be found in the effects panel do you know how to get to the effects panel is that down here where it says effects yes that's the one now if you type Ultra key in the search bar you can find the effect do you know where the search bar is yep I see Ultra key here great now drag that effect onto the video

clip in the timeline would you like me to guide you through the rest of the steps yeah what's next the background is still there okay now go to the effect controls panel at the top left of the screen there you should see the options for the ultra key effect click the eyedropper icon next to the key color option and then click on the blue background in the program monitor okay yeah that removed it pretty well um but it looks a bit hazy still got it it looks like it's a bit hazy you can adjust the

mat generation settings in the ultra key effect to refine the key do you want me to help you with that I just like drag them around looks like transparency is doing something um what should I do here okay it looks like the transparency setting is affecting the haze try adjusting the transparency highlight and Shadow sliders to refine the edges of the key do you want to keep experimenting with the sliders yourself or would you like some specific guidance on how to adjust them they're looking all right is there any other settings I should do all

right you can also try adjusting the matte cleanup settings like choke and soften to further refine the edges would you like me to explain what those do no I think I've got it looking pretty good here so now can I have you teach me how to clean up and enhance my audio sure I can help with that in premere Pro you can use the essential sound panel to clean up you get the idea that's incredible it answers almost instantly and you can interrupt and clarify when needed an expert real-time tutor to help you learn anything

has been one of the dreams in AI it is not all the way there yet it will still make plenty of mistakes but it will be right and save time quite a bit and YouTube won't always have like the specific scenario you need or sometimes you don't even know what you need to look up to achieve something and on your phone you can do the same thing but using the camera maybe you have some homework you need a tutor for and are totally not just cheating you could have it walk you through a science experiment

help you set up Furniture understand documents all sorts of stuff it's like the vision feature in chat GPT but real time instead of uploading photos another one from them is Google Gemini deep research it's an agentic model that will take multiple steps to deeply research a topic here's an example I actually just got a PRP injection in my shoulder a few days ago I did a ton of research into it beforehand but here's how I could have done that in here so I'll make sure deep research is selected from the dropdown then add a prompt

provide a detailed summary of platelet rich plasma injections for shoulder related conditions with a focus on tendonopathy include potential risks and current clinical evidence highlight any recent advancements or controversies specific to shoulder treatments also compare the outcomes of PRP injections with corticosteroid treatments for musculoskeletal conditions so I'll send that it thinks for a second then it shows me its plan it has eight steps it will walk through I can edit that if I'd like to but I'll start it as is now it starts its research it's researching 27 websites that seems like a lot but

it's actually on the low end for what it usually uses this will be over a 100 websites a lot of the time I chose a pretty simple example it's got some PubMed what looks like some different clinics a bunch of other journals looks like a solid list I'll come back when it's done all right that took around 3 minutes and here's what it came back with this is an incredibly comprehensive report based on these findings with what it is how it works side effects treatment protocols got risks Effectiveness comparisons there's a lot in here which

basically confirms the reasons why I got the treatment already but deep research is well named and I was able to tailor it specific to my situation with my shoulder rather than all PRP uses this isn't for just random oneoff questions that you might pop into chat GPT or Google but it is incredible for deep research and the use cases are endless and this is part of Gemini Advanced which comes with a lot of other features but does cost $20 a month after a one-month free trial there are of course and this ways to use chat

GPT to save time so in the description will be a free chat GPT resource bundle provided by HubSpot there's a total of five PDFs that go in-depth on how you can utilize Chachi PT in your career and it was just updated for 2025 there's one that walks through a process similar to how I mentioned to find your most time-consuming tasks AI can help with but it's a much deeper and more step-by-step guide to do that but my favorite in here is called supercharge your workday with chat GPT it covers specific examples of how chat GPT

can be used in various Industries sales and marketing customer support time management and task organization personal development and learning it walks through stepbystep with different tips and I really like the section titled 100 ways to try chachy PT today it has 100 sample prompts you can use and modify no matter what career you have there sure to be a bunch in there that apply and keeping in line with this video prompts templates like that are another way to save a ton of time again that resource is completely free just use the link in the description

to go download that I'm always happy to partner with HubSpot to provide free resources to the people that watch this channel but back on the free end from Google is notebook LM which I've covered extensively before but they have some new features since then it's another personalized AI powered research assistant deep seek R1 came out the other day and blew everyone away so I uploaded a PDF of the research paper a link to the GitHub and a couple websites about it in here you can also upload YouTube videos or I'll even use PDFs of an

entire book I'm reading sometimes it can take in a lot of information now I can have it summarize all the information or even more helpful is I can ask a question then it will give me an answer and site exactly where that information came from in my uploads I can also create a study guide that will give me a quiz with an answer key essay questions and a glossery of key terms I could also create a briefing doc FAQs timeline or the most unique option is the podcast feature you can add prompts to customize and

guide what they talk about if you'd like then this will generate a full podcast all about the topic with the new interactive mode you can also jump into the podcast and ask a question they'll answer that or you can steer the conversation in any direction you want yeah I'm excited to dive in and what's really interesting is how their achieving this reasoning in AI it's quite a departure from how things are normally done yeah usually we think about AI being trained on you know these massive data sets like feeding it you know the entire Library

of Congress or something and that's how it learns but that can be really expensive and time consuming and what happens when it encounters something outside of that data set you know something totally new it's not going to be able to adapt very well exactly and that's one of the limitations that deep seeks team has been really focused on addressing they've created this model called Deep seek r10 and the Really fascinating thing is it was trained using only reinforcement learning No Label data at all whoa did someone just break the fourth wall let's hear it and

they open sourced the whole thing right can you speak about that for a minute absolutely and it's a really key part of what makes deep seek stand out yeah it's not just the technology itself but the way they're sharing it with everyone the fact that they've made their models and research open source is a big deal it really sets the apart it's kind of like they're saying here's what we've done now let's all build on it together those are the best options from Google that I wanted to cover now I'll jump through some other tools

a lot faster they're across different use cases so some may or may not be related to what you need with gamma just write a text prompt and it will generate an entire beautiful presentation with engaging text and relevant images there are other tools that do this but gamma has been my favorite one you can also create documents and websites with gamma but I've primarily used it for presentation now if you need a coding assistant cursor is the leading tool right now you can build and deploy fully functioning apps without any coding knowledge it's all just

from prompting then you go back and forth for any changes you need I don't have time to go into that much here and I'm definitely not an expert at this anyways um Riley Brown has a bunch of videos on building cool stuff with it there's lots of channels with deeper dives into cursor to go check out complimentary to that is Wizard which is ideal for creating UI mockups wire frames and Designs quickly using AI you can generate from text turn a screenshot into an editable mockup or a handdrawn sketch into a digital design then through

prompting you can iterate quickly add or modify components and for a powerful combination you can export the code Snippets and pass them into cursor so wizard can create the entire visual design quickly then cursor can handle the backend logic and fine-tune it all you can do this All without any deep technical skills the ability to easily build out apps that you can customize exactly to your like is incredible whether that's like a personalized app just for your own use or to build for deploying publicly the entire SAS world is changing rapidly with all these new

tools napkin AI is amazing for creating graphics and visuals from text they just came out with a big update that's faster and has a lot more designs it's super easy to use and is still completely free as of the filming of this video I'll do an example I used before so I can see how the new update Compares you can upload your own information or I'll use AI to help with this one five things most likely to cause the AI Apocalypse in order of likelihood all right there's a solid list I'll start with just the

first one I'll click the lightning button and here's a bunch of visuals I can cycle through a lot of these look awesome then if you find one you like there's additional styles for each so there's tons and tons to choose from and the colors are all fully customizable as well I could also highlight all the text and do it for all five I'll give that a try and now there's a bunch more really solid visuals and I think these are awesome to use in videos I can download one then blur out parts and add some

zooms and now it's an amazing looking really engaging graphic that I made in just a few seconds using an AI meeting assistant can be a huge timesaver there's a lot of options out there I've tested a few my favorite was otter especially if you're looking for something you user friendly with a shorter learning curve on the more advanced side with a lot more features and advanced functionalities I liked fireflies but these all work similarly integrating into Zoom Google meet and Microsoft teams it will transcribe your full meeting then give you a summary then you can

search the text to play back the audio at adjustable speeds then tap the words to jump to different spots it can highlight key points to review later it has automated slide capture it will insert into the notes it's super helpful if you have a lot of meetings to be able to review them but also to be able to stay focused and attentive during the meeting and there's further use cases depending on what you do like if you or your team do a lot of sales calls you could ask to identify weak points in the process

or to find common objections if you need more advanced uses like that I'd recommend fireflies this next one is a big one if you have a YouTube channel I have a flux Laura trained on my face and anytime I want an image of myself in any setting or pose I can just prompt for it I use this on replicate and I've taught this multiple times on this channel so I'll link to a longer video if you need it but it's really easy to do basically you just need at least 10 images of yourself from different

angles and expressions you upload those then name it and select a few drop downs it costs around $5 to train which you only need to do once then it's just a few cents after that anytime you need to generate an image you can easily make amazing unique thumbnails without setting up your camera and lighting every time it's awesome another research assistant that probably everyone watching this channel Knows by now is perplexity I mainly use perplexity because of its speed at finding things like stats research or quotes I may need for a video although I don't

have the Pro Plan anymore all I need is the free and I have actually started to move back to chat PT for a lot of this since their native search feature has gotten so much better but now displays images and sources it does a lot of what perplexity has been really good at I debated on still including it in this video but for some use cases you may find it to be the best tool and they are starting to implement actions with perplexity assistant you can ask it to play a specific song it can help

book a restaurant you can search with vision which is a nice upgrade chat GPT came out with operators as well over all agents like this even though there's a lot of hype around them they're not there yet for anything practical I do think it's a good idea to mess around with them to get a feel for how AI interacts with websites on its own just for learning sake and to stay ahead of the curve one day we may have a dashboard of Agents we're overseeing just kind of watching for mistakes and places to intervene and

nudge but I think we're a ways out from that but sticking with llms these are the type of AI tool people are generally the most familiar with but it's also one of the biggest Time Savers for me personally and I assume could be for most people too this is an area where like I mentioned at the beginning if you write down your most timeconsuming tasks there is very often a way that AI can automate or assist with those tasks and llms are the most common solution the top two I use are Claude and chat GPT

Claude is my go-to writing assistant although chat GPT has definitely gotten better at creative writing but I don't think it's as good as Claud yet there's other writing tools like Jasper Lex WR Sonic copy and tons of others if there's a specific type of writing you do a lot you may want to find one that's tailored for that they typically all use CLA or chaty PT under the hood but they just have solid prompt engineering and a nice UI on top of it for me I just do my own prompting and have never felt the

need for a specialized writing tool typically I just get outlines and do the bulk of the actual tone and writing myself anyways with chat GPT using custom gpts or projects to streamline a repetitive task is something just about everyone will be able to do the projects allow you to keep chats organized and contextually connected it's great for long-term multi-step workflows here's a pretty easy one that I use for shorts so I have a big list of types of hooks and example hooks that I uploaded to the project files then I have step-by-step instructions as well

to start all I have to do is input my topic and it will give me a list of hooks in each style so I can refine and pick one from there then it will move on to the next step of the workflow it's a whole collaborative process that speeds up short form creation a lot I do also have this set up in cloud this isn't particularly creative writing so both work really well custom gpts are great for very specific fixed behaviors and they also have the benefit of exploring gpts others have made public if you

have something you're thinking of creating see if someone else already has there's tons of options in here one example I use that I really like is I have gpts for crafting prompts that's a huge timesaver this one's for videos I just enter a simple prompt and it will elaborate into a much longer prompt that works better for AI video tools and it gives multiple options that's really nice to have I have another one for llms basically training chat GPT to prompt itself and another for text to image prompts and an often overlooked feature is you

can summon your gpts in any chat just click the at sign and choose your GPT from the list then ask for what you need then it will use all the context and instructions you've built into that GPT to tailor a response so this is a coloring book page generator I made for my four-year-old and I'll send that and even though this is in an existing chat without any additional context it knows what to do and generates me a coloring book page again I do recommend you actually create a list of your most timec consuming tasks

and try to find ways AI can help hopefully this video will give you some ideas and this huge list of tools will be a good place to start I've got a huge update from futurepedia we partnered with skill leap AI so we looked around and they had built the best AI learning platform I could find so we partnered with them and have now built that platform into futurepedia there's over 20 amazing extremely in-depth courses covering all different aspects of AI and how to use it in your own life and business it's the perfect place to

learn a lot of the stuff I talked about in this video it is also where I will be launching all of the courses I'm working on right now I'll have a link down in the description where you can go to try that out for free and thank you so much for watching I'll see you in the next one
