AI-powered efficiency

Hi, hi, hi! In today’s Daily Digest, I’m covering a new AI tool that wants to automate your productivity system, especially when it comes to meetings. But before that…

The headlines: 

🔌 Microsoft, Google, Meta, and more have formed a new group to build AI chips.

📸 Instagram is expanding its anti-harassment tool for teens called “Limits.”

📰 The Atlantic and Vox have signed multi-year licensing agreements with OpenAI.

Demystifying the secrets of peak time management has been something humans have been trying to crack for centuries if not millennia. Thankfully, technology has made that easier with digital calendars, to-do list apps, reminders, and more. Now, AI is taking a shot. 

TimeOS is on a mission to create a more autonomous productivity system. It was launched in 2022 as a Chrome extension that lets you easily take notes while in the middle of a meeting, and now the team is back with a big update. 

With the new TimeOS you can automatically sync and hover over your scheduled meetings. From there, you can pull in context from Google Calendar, LinkedIn, and previous meeting notes. It’s the same new tab interface you may have become accustomed to, but with an automated approach.

You can also chat to Prep, the company’s always-on AI-powered voice assistant. Prep is like Iron Man’s Jarvis, but for meetings. You can gain more context by asking, “Who introduced me to this person?” or “Give me a good icebreaker to open with.” You can even get it to handle your calendar by telling it to set up or reschedule calls. 

It will also send you proactive AI reminders about your calls, giving you updates on things like the proposed agenda, important discussion points, and information from previous calls, so you won't have to scramble through meeting notes. 

To top it all off, TimeOS will automatically take notes during your meeting. Once you’re finished, it will format them using community-built templates designed for maximum efficiency and send them to you, making it easier to review the most important points.
