Circleback

You know how you try to be present at work meetings by taking comprehensive notes, but instead you end up trailing 15 seconds behind and missing the important stuff?

Circleback is an AI-powered transcription tool that automatically joins your Google Meet, Teams meeting, Zoom, etc. It quickly generates a surprisingly accurate and searchable transcription of your meeting. Plus, you can request a summary or ask Circleback questions like “What is the deadline for this deliverable?”

Maybe try “Couldn’t this meeting have been an email?”

Docs Online Viewer

Is your Downloads folder a graveyard of PDFs you thought you needed? Same. This Chrome extension puts a little cloud icon next to PDFs in your SERPs, allowing you to view them directly from your browser. No downloads. No email signups required to view.

GoFullPage

This little Chrome extension lets you capture an entire SERP in one screenshot, so you can reference and compare results over time, create before-and-afters, test results for different users and devices, and any other application you can think of.

Copy Selected Links

This Chrome (and Firefox) extension comes in handy when your spreadsheet has a column for linked article titles, but you want to add a column with the full URLs, too. Typically, you’d need to right-click and copy each URL into a new cell, but Copy Selected Links lets you do this all in one step.

Vimeo One-Take Video Editor

Vimeo’s new features include an AI-powered script generator that works in seconds (just supply a prompt, duration, and tone), a built-in teleprompter, and a text-based video editor to save you time in post. Delete your ums and ahs and edit clips all via text. For those of us who are too busy to fuss about sound mixing, you know?

Safari Tab Groups

Any Safari users out there with a million tabs open? If you’re not using Tab Groups, you’re going to want to start. It’s simple: this feature lets you group certain tabs together to set aside for later, so you can separate work browsing from your online shopping habit. Or if you’re slammed with work, you can organize your tabs by assignment or client.

Standards

“Sorry, we made some updates: is the correct version.”

If you’re still sharing brand guidelines in PDF form, check out Standards. This platform lets you design and publish your guidelines as a website, which you can edit in real time. You can add team members and clients, reuse modular components across clients, add animations, and more. Also, NASA uses it.

2Slash

This handy tool is like having a pair of ruby slippers on hand.

Type // in any text field and you activate an AI assistant who can help generate social media content, answer questions, write emails, check your grammar, generate code, explain things to you, rephrase and translate, and more.

Kraken.io

Short on bandwidth? No, the website kind. Check out Kraken.io — it’s a super-fast image optimizer that compresses your images for better load times, saving you storage. Plans start at five bucks.
