ONE EPISODE, A STARTING POINT

5 AI apps to improve productivity today

18:33Marco Montemagno · podcast RSS

Marco presents tools for different needs: DeepSeek for model-based work, Gamma for presentations, Consensus for scientific research, meeting assistants and Lindy for organizational tasks. He adds Leonardo for images and animation. The Gamma test creates a chess presentation, while the Consensus example starts with a question about red light. His suggested criterion is usefulness for the task rather than loyalty to a brand. He discusses limitations, data handling, censorship and costs that can grow with usage. For health research, he cautions against replacing judgment and medical discussion with an app's response. The percentages and conclusions displayed by Consensus are part of the demonstration, not a clinical assessment conducted here. Marco promotes his own AI course and says he receives no payment or affiliate commissions from the apps mentioned.
