Hubspot AI Email Writer
HubSpot offers an AI-powered email assistant designed to kickstart your creative juices and help write up personalized emails at scale. The platform’s AI assistant generates copy fit for various email campaigns, like sales outreach, marketing newsletters, and so on.
You can then edit or repurpose generated drafts by automatically changing their tones as well as lengthening or shortening them. HubSpot also includes a drag-and-drop email template builder with numerous customizable use-case-specific presets, perfect for further streamlining creative processes.
What I found most useful is that HubSpot’s AI email writer links with the platform’s CRM database. That means you can roll out email campaigns and automatically log conversations to your contact lists. From there, you can track progress and send out follow-ups at the right time to maximize response rates. Plus, you can use the platform’s AI assistant directly from your Gmail account, which spares you the need to juggle between multiple tabs.
HubSpot’s AI Email Writer is a solid choice for busy marketing and sales teams looking to scale up their efforts and maximize results without increasing headcount.
The email writing assistant is available for free, while more advanced email functionalities are available throughout HubSpot’s Marketing Hub paid packages. Pricing starts at $15 per month.
Fyxer
Fyxer is a fast-growing AI executive assistant that claims it can win back at least an hour of your day. I decided to put that to the test by connecting it to my work Gmail account.
After it trained on my past emails, it started doing two main things. First, it automatically categorized my incoming emails into folders that actually made sense, which genuinely made it easier to find specific conversations.
Second, it began suggesting draft responses. Fyxer says it takes time for the AI to learn your voice, but I found the drafts were surprisingly close to how I’d write from the start. Of course, it couldn't answer highly specific questions that my inbox didn't contain the answer to, but it significantly reduced the number of emails I had to write from scratch. Editing its suggestions was much faster than starting with a blank email.
Fyxer also includes an AI meeting note taker, which works well—though I still prefer the dedicated tools I mentioned earlier.
Pricing starts at $30/month, with more advanced features at $50 and custom options for enterprise teams. All plans come with a 7-day free trial.
Shortwave
Shortwave is an AI email assistant that helps you organize, write, search, and schedule emails.
It doesn’t include an AI meeting note-taker like Fyxer does, but that was fine for me since I already use a separate AI tool for meeting notes.
What Shortwave does offer is excellent email organization, far better search capabilities (which is a lifesaver if you're like me and constantly digging through old emails for invoices and contracts), and fast AI-assisted drafting and suggestions.
Here’s how I think about it: I’d use Shortwave for my personal inbox — it’s lightweight, affordable, and great for everyday use. For work, I’d go with Fyxer to take advantage of its meeting features and deeper automation.
Shortwave has a free plan with AI assistance, inbox customization, and 90 days of searchable history. The Personal Plan is $8.50 per seat/month and adds more power for everyday users.
The best AI scheduling tools
Reclaim
Reclaim is an AI-powered scheduling assistant that helps you optimize your calendar by automatically managing tasks, meetings, and breaks based on your priorities. Since I started using it, it’s significantly reduced the mental effort of planning my day.
After connecting it to my Google Calendar, I entered my tasks and meetings with their priority levels. Reclaim then automatically assigned time slots, ensuring I stayed on top of what mattered most.
One of the most useful features is how it protects deep work time by blocking off hours for focus and preventing unnecessary meeting overlaps. It’s also great for scheduling with others — it finds optimal meeting times based on everyone’s availability and preferences, cutting down on back-and-forth coordination.
Reclaim offers a free Lite Plan with core time-blocking features, and a Starter Plan at $10/user/month for more advanced scheduling support.
Clockwise
Clockwise is an AI-powered scheduling assistant that optimizes your calendar by managing meetings and protecting blocks of focus time. Since I started using it, it’s helped me stay more organized and get more deep work done.
Once connected to my Google Calendar, I marked certain meetings as flexible. Clockwise automatically rescheduled them to open up longer focus periods, which noticeably improved my productivity.
It also made meeting coordination easier by finding the best times for all participants, cutting down on the usual back-and-forth. Compared to Reclaim, which handles both task and meeting scheduling, Clockwise focuses more narrowly on optimizing meeting times and creating uninterrupted work windows. I found Reclaim more useful overall because of its broader scope, but Clockwise excels if your main pain point is meeting overload.
Clockwise offers a Free Plan with core calendar optimization features. Paid plans start at $7.75/month.
The best AI presentation makers
Gamma
In my current job, I have to present all the time — to clients, my boss, and the rest of my team. So any tool that can make that part of my job easier, save me time, and help me get better results is more than welcome.
Gamma has been great for building presentations from scratch, but I’ve also used it to turn my notes into decks, and even to repurpose existing presentations and PDFs. It handles all three scenarios surprisingly well.
If I’m starting from scratch, I usually head straight to Gamma’s “Generate a Presentation” tool. I’ll type in a prompt like “I need a presentation explaining the different types of digital marketing channels”, specify how many slides I want, and it gives me a solid outline I can tweak and reorder. Then I hit generate — and I get a full presentation in seconds.
The quality is genuinely impressive. The generated slides always have a sleek design and include AI-generated images that look consistent and professional, and they certainly look much better than what I’d make myself in PowerPoint or Google Slides. I’ll usually make a few edits — adding my own points, data, or anecdotes — but for the most part, they’re ready to go.
I’ve also found it handy that Gamma can export to PowerPoint format (.pptx), which is useful when I need to share a deck with a client who’ll open it in PowerPoint.
Gamma has a Free Plan that includes 400 AI credits, basic image generation, and up to 10 slides per presentation. The Plus Plan ($10/user/month) unlocks unlimited AI creation, more slides, better image tools, and priority support.
Don't forget to convert your PowerPoint slides to video when you're done.
Copilot for Powerpoint
While it’s not as slick as Gamma, I still use PowerPoint from time to time — especially with the Copilot for PowerPoint feature.
Like Gamma, it lets me generate an entire presentation from an existing file, a few notes, or just a well-written prompt. It’s surprisingly good at pulling together a structured deck from minimal input.
The biggest advantage Copilot has over Gamma is familiarity — almost everyone already knows how to use PowerPoint, so there’s no learning curve.
That said, if I wasn’t already using Microsoft 365 for work, I probably wouldn’t pay for Copilot separately. Gamma is more affordable, and I personally prefer building slides in a modern, web-based tool rather than a traditional desktop program.
For context, Microsoft Copilot for PowerPoint requires either a Copilot Pro subscription at around $20/month, or the Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on at $30/month on top of a qualifying Microsoft 365 plan.
The best AI resume builders
Teal Resume Builder
Teal is an AI-powered resume builder that helps streamline the resume writing process and tailor it to specific job applications — something I’ve always found tedious and time-consuming.
After entering my job history, skills, and goals, Teal generated a live resume preview with bullet points based on my experience. For example, when I added a past marketing role, it suggested phrases like “increased engagement by 30%” or “managed a team of 5,” giving my resume a polished, results-driven tone without much effort.
Teal highlights key skills and phrases from the a job posting and suggests how to integrate them into your resume. I tried this with a marketing manager role, and it helped me align my resume with the job in just a few clicks.
Teal also has a popular job application tracking tool too.
Teal’s Free Plan includes unlimited resumes and job tracking, while the Teal+ Plan costs $29/month and unlocks all premium features.
Kickresume
I personally prefer Teal for the smart suggestions it gives to tailor my resume to each job. That said, I think Kickresume produces a better-looking final product.
It offers over 40 resume templates, which it claims are designed by HR experts and typographers — and honestly, I believe it. The templates look sleek, professional, and modern. They're also ATS-compliant, which gave me peace of mind knowing that the AI scanners most companies use will be able to read my resume without issues.
Another nice bonus: Kickresume lets you turn your resume into a personal website with just a few clicks, so you don’t need to use a separate tool for that.
Kickresume’s Free Plan includes basic resume and cover letter templates, a website builder, and access to 20,000+ pre-written phrases. The Monthly Plan ($19/month) unlocks premium templates, full customization, an AI resume checker, and priority support.
The best AI voice generators
ElevenLabs
ElevenLabs is the clear leader in AI voice generation. They offer text-to-speech and voice cloning capabilities.
It's a lot of fun to play around with, the AI-generated voices sound really natural and there's a huge amount of flexibility. You can adjust the language spoken, the voices, and the number of speakers. I also really liked the voice tags functionality, which let me control the delivery and emotions of the speech I was generating, so I could change from [whispers] to [sarcastic] and then to [laughs] all within the same passage of text.
Things got pretty freaky when I tried cloning my own voice. Once cloned, you can then prompt your own voice via text-to-speech. The AI voice sounded exactly like mine which I think is why it was such an unsettling experience.
I should also mention ElevenLabs AI Dubbing Studio, which really impressed me with its ability to create voiceovers and dub content in multiple languages. I uploaded a video and was able to quickly generate high-quality voiceover tracks in different voices and accents. It's a bit pricey, and there's no video dubbing/lip-sync capabilities (for that, check out Synthesia's AI video dubbing), but otherwise I thought it was a pretty neat extra set of features and it's definitely one of my favourite video translation apps.
ElevenLabs offers a free plan with 10k credits, while paid plans start at $5/month for more credits, voice cloning, and commercial use. Higher tiers unlock pro features like better audio quality and API access for large-scale projects.
Murf
If I’m working on a project that needs narration, I almost always go with an AI-generated voice. It saves me the hassle of setting up a microphone, dealing with noise cancellation, and — honestly — I’m just not a fan of hearing my own voice.
While ElevenLabs is the undisputed leader in AI voice quality, I think Murf can be a better option for non-technical users.
Murf has a clean, drag-and-drop interface that makes it easy to create voiceovers quickly. It might not have the same technical depth or realism as ElevenLabs, but it still delivers solid results — especially for things like explainer videos or internal presentations.
Murf’s Free Plan gives you 10 minutes of voice generation and transcription, access to 120+ voices, and basic audio/video sharing. The Creator Plan, at $29/month, unlocks unlimited downloads, 200+ voices, 2 hours of voice generation per month, and commercial usage rights.
The best AI music generators
Suno
At work, I use Suno to generate background music for social posts, videos, and ads. It’s perfect for creating original, royalty-free tracks that sound great—and it only takes a simple prompt.
Suno is also one of the most fun tools on this list. I’ve found myself using it in my spare time just to experiment with new songs in the style of my favorite artists.
For example, I generated an awesome track with this prompt:
A high-energy, funky pop song in the style of Michael Jackson (circa "Bad" era), about the late-night grind of writing a blog post. Catchy verses about researching, editing, and battling writer's block, with a smooth, soulful chorus that celebrates hitting publish. Include MJ-style ad-libs ("hee-hee!", "shamone!") and signature vocal flair.
While AI music still lacks the emotional depth of human-made songs, it’s incredibly fun and useful for creative projects. I don’t think we’ll be listening to AI tracks for pure enjoyment just yet—but we’re getting closer.
Suno’s free plan includes 50 daily credits for up to 10 songs a day (personal use only). The $10/month Pro plan gives you 2,500 credits, commercial rights, faster generation, and the ability to run 10 tasks at once.
If you’re using it at work for anything public-facing, like I am, you’ll need the Pro plan for the commercial license.
Udio
I think Udio is better suited for musicians who want to use AI as a starting point and then iterate on their creations. Its editing options are more flexible than Suno’s—though still not quite on par with traditional music production software.
If I want more control over how a song comes together, I’m probably choosing Udio. It lets me shape, tweak, and refine everything—whether that’s regenerating a chorus I didn’t like, extending a verse I loved, or fine-tuning the lyrics until they feel just right.
It’s not as fast or polished out of the box as Suno, but if structure and customization matter to you, Udio is the stronger option.
Udio offers a free plan with 100 credits per month for up to 50 songs and basic tools. For more, the Standard Plan costs $10/month.
The best AI marketing tools
AdCreative
AdCreative is an AI-powered platform that streamlines the process of creating ad creatives for platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Google Ads. After testing it, I found it to be a convenient, time-saving tool that produces professional results.
As someone without a design background, I appreciated how quickly I could create usable ads. I just entered basic campaign details—like the product and target audience—and the tool generated multiple polished ad designs tailored for different platforms. I found that the generated designs typically only needed minor tweaks.
The interface is intuitive and beginner-friendly. I could easily adjust text, swap images, and add my logo to match my branding. AdCreative made it simple for me to generate multiple ad variations for A/B testing with slight changes in headlines or visuals.
Pricing starts at $39/month, which is reasonable for frequent users and far cheaper than hiring a designer. But for occasional use—especially if you need to heavily edit the outputs—the cost might feel a bit steep.
AirOps
AirOps is marketed as a content operations engine, with a core focus on scalable content creation. While I primarily use it to generate blog posts, I’ve also used it to refresh landing pages, suggest ad copy, check backlink quality, and produce SEO metadata for hundreds of pages at once. It saves me from boring, repetitive tasks and lets me focus on higher-value work.
Building complex workflows is easy thanks to the drag-and-drop interface. There are plenty of standard steps, but I especially like the “power steps” — prebuilt modules that handle common tasks like keyword research or identifying content cannibalization.
One of my favorite features is the range of models available. AirOps lets you build workflows using the latest ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini models, with support for LLMs, image models, and (most likely) video models soon.
The quality of the output really depends on the quality of the workflow you build, but AirOps makes learning easy. They offer helpful tutorials and frequently host webinars featuring well-known names in SEO and content marketing who share how they use the platform.
It’s not the cheapest tool, but it’s incredibly powerful — and I think its role across marketing teams will only grow as it continues to evolve.
The best AI sales tools
Attio
Attio is an AI-powered CRM that’s been gaining traction with SMEs and startups. The big players like Salesforce and HubSpot are adding AI features too, and switching CRMs is notoriously painful, so why would anyone bother with Attio?
The short answer is: it’s just really nice to use. If you’ve spent any time in Salesforce, you’ll know how complicated CRMs can get. Attio feels modern, highly customizable, and intuitive — if you can use a spreadsheet, you can figure it out quickly.
It also comes with solid built-in data enrichment features, and they recently announced an integration with Clay, which will beef up the platform's data enrichment capabilities further.
That said, it’s not perfect. I don’t think it’s quite ready for large sales teams with very complex processes, and the integration options are still limited (though expanding quickly). But if you’re part of a smaller, more agile team, Attio is definitely worth a look.
