In today’s fast-paced world, we are fortunate to have access to a wide range of AI point solutions that enhance our productivity and streamline our day-to-day activities. At Stellar, we are grateful for these technologies that have revolutionized the way we work. And given Stellar service offerings enable businesses to organize, power, and optimize the use of their own data using large language models (LLMs) and other types of generative AI (genAI), we want to make sure we have AI baked into our everyday workflows anywhere possible! 

These tools revolutionize the way we communicate, collaborate, and manage tasks, allowing us to streamline processes and boost overall efficiency. Let’s dive into some of our favorites in no particular order: 

1. Midjourney: Enhancing Discord with AI Images 

Midjourney is a genAI program and service created and hosted by San Francisco – based independent research lab Midjourney, Inc. Midjourney generates images from natural language descriptions, called ​“prompts”. For example, we use Midjourney to generate images for content deliverables, our website, and demos! Here is a screenshot of some image generation practice you might just see come to life in upcoming Stellar content: 

It’s not always perfect — there’s the case for spell check being employed, and well, our chair has legs! But we think it’s pretty excellent for the mere seconds it took to create the prompt and the minute it took to generate image options! 

2. Notion: Nimble Collaborative Workspace 

Notion is our go-to platform and possibly most frequently used AI tool. With AI-rich features such as advanced databases, templates, and content organization tools, Notion enables us to structure and store information effectively. We use Notion to create project management boards, where team members can assign tasks, track progress, and share relevant documents. It is a game-changer for us when it comes to collaboration, project management, and knowledge sharing. 

Notion AI provides frameworks for planning via AI commands which specify what type of writing or content creation we might want to start on including job descriptions, sales emails, calendars, and even pros and cons lists! 

Notion’s intuitive interface and powerful features make it easy for us to stay organized and expand on work we’ve started as well. Really cool genAI tools for summarization, translation, and writing expansion are available within each project for users to tighten up whatever it is we’re working on — from sharing meeting notes, building out a full campaign plan, or expanding on communications.

3. ChatGPT: Conversational AI at Its Best

ChatGPT has become a household name over the past year, especially given the twists and turns of late over at OpenAI. This LLM enables users to create engaging and interactive conversational experiences such as customer support, content generation, and brainstorming ideas. ChatGPT understands context, engages in meaningful conversations, and provides accurate responses. It’s like having an AI-powered assistant always ready to lend a hand, answering questions and assisting our team members in real-time. We expand on ideas here, create lists, and kick concepts around virtually. Some of the team is even starting to have fun with ChatGPT Voice!

4. Github CoPilot: Intelligent Code Companion

GitHub CoPilot is an AI-powered code generation tool that has revolutionized the development process for our engineering team. With Github CoPilot, we can save time by getting intelligent suggestions and code completions as we write. It learns from vast amounts of code and assists in writing functions, classes, and entire blocks of code. By seamlessly integrating with our existing development environment, GitHub CoPilot saves us time, boosts productivity, and ensures code quality — it’s like having an experienced coder right beside us. 

5. CopyAI: AI-Powered Marketing Assistant 

CopyAI is an invaluable writing assistant that leverages AI to help our team create compelling and engaging content effortlessly. Whether it’s drafting blog posts, social media captions, or email marketing campaigns, CopyAI generates AI-suggested text and creative ideas, making the writing process faster and more efficient. With its AI-powered capabilities, CopyAI assists us in crafting impactful content that resonates with our target audience. This blog right here was placed into CopyAI to provide a framework for what we wanted to share about the capabilities of Stellar’s favorite everyday AI-solutions, then we edited and personalized the examples with our own flair along the way! 

6. Zoom AI Companion: Elevating Video Conversations 

The Zoom AI Companion is an AI extension that enhances our video conferencing experience by providing intelligent real-time suggestions and features. This AI-powered assistant helps us effectively manage meetings, generate automated meeting summaries, and even provides live transcriptions for better accessibility. With Zoom AI Companion, our virtual meetings become more productive and engaging, ultimately maximizing collaboration within our team.

7. Microsoft Viva Digest Email: AI-Powered Information Curation 

Microsoft Viva Digest Email is an AI-driven solution that curates personalized summaries of relevant information from various internal and external sources. By analyzing our preferences and work patterns via our inboxes, Viva Digest Email presents us with a neatly curated email, saving us time and effort in searching for essential updates. It also keeps users humble letting you know if you’ve failed to take downtime based on your meeting schedule along with how many hours you’ve spent in front of a laptop! It’s worth checking out Viva’s automated email instead of spending excessive time on information gathering. 

8. Hubspot AI Assistant: Real-time Sales and Marketing Recommendations

Hubspot AI Assistant is an AI-powered tool that helps us streamline our marketing and sales processes with recommendations in regard to social copy, messaging, workflows, and activity tracking. With Hubspot AI Assistant, we can easily focus on the best next step in our efforts helping us deliver targeted and effective messages to our audience while still maintaining decision control and direction of overall strategy. We drive the direction and get an extra boost with Hubspot AI Assistant’s recommendations which, nine times out of ten, we take! 

These AI point solutions have truly transformed the way we work at Stellar, empowering us to achieve more and deliver exceptional results. Since we help enterprise organizations establish data readiness through interacting with their own data in a more efficient way, orchestrate safe and secure LLM & ML modeling, along with rapid generative AI development, it only makes sense that embracing cutting-edge technology would be in the fabric of our own organizational operations. 

We’ve found that optimizing workflows, boosting efficiency, and fostering a productive work environment also means creating enjoyable and fun collaboration for the entire team. From enhancing communication to automating tasks, these tools empower us to work smarter, enabling us to focus on what truly matters — delivering exceptional AI services to our clients.
