A tested AI productivity stack: NotebookLM, Addys AI, Reclaim and more
tom_tt2 · reddit · 2026-10-29
A Reddit user shared the AI tools that actually stuck in their daily workflow after months of testing:
- Research: NotebookLM for Q&A over docs and links
- Meetings & email: Addys AI drafts follow-up emails, Notion updates and tasks, with no bot joining calls
- Calendar: Reclaim auto-blocks focus time around meetings
- Voice to text: Superwhisper, chosen for local/on-device processing
- Slides: Pitch — decent AI drafts but heavy rewriting needed
- Diagrams: Whimsical for quick AI flowcharts
The author is soliciting better slide tools and stresses only time-saving tools, not cool demos, made the cut.
