Open a chat window and type in what you’re after, including any ingredients you already have. For example, “Create a nutritious five-day dinner menu for two. Prep time can’t be longer than 30 minutes. Please include red peppers.” Within seconds, you’ll have a meal plan. Then type “Now turn this into a grocery list”, and just like that, hours of your life – saved!

Still paying for a subscription you no longer use and should have cancelled months ago? Notion’s AI features can make this a thing of the past.

You can keep tabs on plenty more in Notion, too. The app’s AI capabilities and neat UI make it a fantastic companion for storing and tracking all sorts of information, from to-do lists to schedules and goals.

Step away from your inbox for a few days and emails usually arrive in droves. When urgent ones pile up and a blank reply screen is staring back at you, head to Claude to create a quick, eloquent reply.

Type a prompt containing the context, your relationship with the recipient and the tone you’re after – need something warm and friendly or diplomatic and direct? – and the AI assistant will generate a natural-sounding response ready for you to check and send.
