Developments in AI have allowed for new tools and services to be created that would have once been thought of as impossible. These tools can help you work more efficiently, work faster, and be generally more productive.

Integrated into Google Workspace, these add-ons operate directly in or beside the apps you already use every day. Here are five that are worth trying out today.

1. GPT for Sheets and Docs

First up on this list, we have GPT for Sheets and Docs. As you might be able to guess from the name of this add-on, GPT for Sheets and Docs adds ChatGPT functionality to both Google Sheets and Google Docs.

To set up GPT for Sheets and Docs, you’ll first need to install the add-on and then connect it with your OpenAI API key. If you haven’t worked much with this sort of thing, this may sound complicated, but with the help of this complete guide to the ChatGPT API, you’ll have the add-on up and running in no time.

The add-on itself is quite impressive. You get all of the functionality of ChatGPT built right into your browser, ready to help you with any spreadsheet or document you may be working on.

There are a ton of different commands built into GPT for Sheets and Docs, such as ChatGPT-generated tables, formatting, data extracting, and more. What’s really great about this add-on, however, is that you can ask ChatGPT to come up with just about anything that you may need.

For example, if you want to create a Google Sheets formula that would allow you to get an average of several values, you can do that easily. Similarly, if you want to easily generate document outlines or note summaries, you can easily do that, too.

2. SlidesAI.io - Create Slides With AI

Next up, we have SlidesAI.io. If you’ve ever struggled to make presentations that look good quickly and easily, then SlidesAI.io might just be the solution you’ve been looking for.

SlidesAI.io is an add-on for Google Slides that uses AI to generate presentations from the text. In order to use it, all you have to do is take a piece of text that you want to present. You can write this out yourself, or copy it directly from a document or web page.

From there, all you have to do is choose the presentation type and how many slides you want, and SlidesAI.io will handle the rest. SlidesAI.io will generate a presentation based on the text you provided, simplifying complex sentences into easy-to-understand bullet points.

If you don’t like how the presentation looks, you can easily adjust the appearance using themes, though SlidesAI.io also features some color and font options you can use to adjust the appearance as well.

3. Picsart AI Photo Editor & Graphic Design

If you’re looking to make the most of your creative side, then Picsart might be the Workspace add-on that you’re looking for. Picsart is a photo editor with a ton of different features, including several AI enhancements and image-generating tools.

At its core, Picsart is a solid little add-on for Workspace that allows you to easily open and edit just about any image from your Google Drive. There are a ton of features here worth looking at, such as a background remover, filters, photo effects, and many more.

Picsart also comes with collage makers, sticker makers, and other features that are worth checking out. But where Picsart really shines is in its AI integration. Picsart features plenty of tools that use AI to let you do things that would have once been impossible.

For example, Picsart comes complete with an AI image generator. This tool lets you convert text descriptions to images, just like the best free AI text to art generators out there. You can then add these images to your existing ones or work with them from scratch. You can even use Picsart’s editing suite to adjust any mistakes that the AI makes.

On top of this, Picsart features an AI image enhancer that can automatically make your images look better. This tool uses AI to fix details and remove blur from images for you automatically.

4. AI Email Writer

Next up, we have the aptly named AI Email Writer. As you might imagine, this Workspace add-on uses AI to write emails for you. The process is surprisingly simple. All you have to do is give AI Email Writer some rough ideas on what to say.

For instance, you can simply list the topics that you would want to talk about, and AI Email Writer will take the information from the email to generate a response. AI Email Writer comes with features to adjust the tone of your email as you go, and outputs the result as a draft, so you’ll be able to read over it and edit it as you see fit.

There are plenty of ways that you can use ChatGPT to write difficult emails at work, but having an AI write directly from your Gmail account is a faster and more streamlined solution.

5. Reclaim.ai

Reclaim.ai is a smart scheduling app for Google Calendar that uses AI to help you build the perfect schedule for your week. Reclaim.ai allows you to set your tasks, habits, breaks, meetings, and more all into one place.

From there, and given the availability and preferences that you set, Reclaim.ai will set you a schedule that fits all your needs. What’s great about Reclaim.ai is that it not only plans out your week, but through the use of AI can actually dynamically adjust your week as new events pop up.

All you have to do is set the priority of your things in your schedule, and Reclaim.ai will automatically rebuild your schedule as needed. This add-on also benefits from a host of other features, such as productivity stats, buffer times for traveling or decompressing, and more.

Use AI to Enhance Your Productivity

As you can see, AI allows you to get more done faster than ever before. To not use AI tools such as ChatGPT and the add-ons listed here would be a mistake for your productivity.

Whether you’re looking to send better emails, write faster, or just plan out your week as efficiently as possible, there are plenty of ways that AI can help you.
