My team tried Krisp to clean up audio during meetings. I used it personally during a few client calls. It does remove background noise, but sometimes the voice quality sounds unnatural. It’s helpful in loud environments, but we don’t rely on it every day.

Miro is our go-to for remote collaboration. I personally use it to facilitate brainstorming sessions with the team. It’s easy to use and scales well for both quick notes and detailed workflows. Everyone stays engaged, and it’s become essential in our toolkit.

Superhuman changed how my team handles email. I use it daily to hit inbox zero faster. The shortcuts, speed, and split inboxes help me stay focused. It’s clean, powerful, and makes email feel less stressful. We’re all big fans after switching.

Cronitor keeps our team’s scheduled jobs on track. I personally rely on it to monitor API tasks. The alerts are fast and accurate. I do wish the dashboards offered more customization, but it’s been reliable from day one. A helpful safety net for sure.

Lasso helped my team clean up and monetize affiliate links across our blog. I personally used it to optimize older content. It’s intuitive and effective. It could use better reporting, but the automation alone makes it a great asset in our content stack.

Flowrite helps me generate fast replies to emails and LinkedIn messages. My team uses it when we’re swamped with outreach. It saves time and reads well. Some of the tone options feel generic, but overall it’s a strong tool that we reach for often.

My team tried Framer to prototype a new landing page. I personally handled animations and transitions. It’s slick, but a bit complex for non-designers. The output looks great, but the learning curve slowed us down. It’s impressive tech, just not for everyone yet.

We tested Pomodone to build more structure into our focus sessions. I personally used it to manage my writing blocks. It works as expected, but the design feels dated. My team wanted more integration options. It helps, but there’s room for improvement.

Heptabase intrigued my team with its card-based thinking. I used it for mapping out product features. While the concept is interesting, it sometimes feels like too much friction. We’re on the fence—it’s cool, but not quite ready to replace our core tools.

My team explored Afforai to help summarize long documents. I used it to pull insights from PDFs during research. It does a fair job with short material, but it missed the mark on nuance. We like the idea, though it needs refinement for more complex inputs.
