Thankfully, today’s AI tools have evolved beyond the well-intentioned meddling of animated office supplies. In this chapter, we’ll unravel how ChatGPT, Grammarly, Jasper, and their smarter AI cousins like Copilot and Google Gemini can streamline your workload, enhance your messaging, and, yes, occasionally make you seem way smarter than you actually are.
