Double Your Productivity with These 3 AI Super-Utilities
Learn about TextBlaze, Notion, and TypingMind – the super-utilities that can double your efficiency!
Introduction
Welcome to my 39th post of the year on using AI in everyday life! If you've been following along, you’ve seen the many ways AI can be a game-changer. And if you've discovered new ways to use AI, I'd love to hear about them in the comments!
Today, I’m excited to share three super utilities that have transformed my AI workflows, boosting my productivity immensely.
Background
Integrating AI into daily tasks has been a journey of exploration and innovation. While AI itself offers incredible capabilities, combining it with the right tools can elevate your productivity to new heights. The three tools I’m discussing today—TextBlaze, Notion, and TypingMind—have been pivotal in making my AI interactions of higher quality, smoother, and far more efficient.
Let’s explore each.
TextBlaze
TextBlaze isn’t an AI utility per se, but it's perfect for storing AI prompts. This tool allows you to create, store, and use text snippets efficiently. I have over 300 different prompts I’ve created, organized and are ready to go for all my AI tasks, including research, social media, and blog posts—like this one! TextBlaze can handle dynamic prompts with text fields, system-oriented fields like date and time stamps, and more.
With TextBlaze, I save countless hours by not retyping instructions. Everything is neatly organized in folders and ready to be deployed with a few clicks. Whether it’s for AI prompts or email templates, TextBlaze is an indispensable part of my toolkit, costing only a few dollars per month. For a deeper dive, check out my previous article on TextBlaze.
Notion
Notion is a powerhouse for organization and productivity. I've previously discussed why I switched from Evernote to Notion, and the reasons still stand. Notion is my go-to for research, note-taking, managing to-do lists, and anything I need to jot down.
Notion’s integration with AI is seamless. I use it to manage all my AI-generated content, from drafts to final versions. Notion’s built-in AI capabilities (available as a paid add-on) allows you to generate text without ever leaving Notion by using its inb-built LLM, saving you from having to subscribe to another service like those from OpenAI, Poe, or Anthropics. One other unexpected benefit from using Notion’s AI is that it offers advanced searching, making it easy to find and reuse content. This tool is a massive timesaver and a central hub for my creative process. I was also losing things in Evernote and spending hours trying to find something I knew I had entered previously.
TypingMind
TypingMind is a game-changer, saving both time and money. Instead of expensive subscriptions, TypingMind offers a pay-as-you-go model for using various Generative-AI tools. This is perfect for authors and content creators who need to generate content frequently but want to control costs.
TypingMind provides access to all major LLMs and their developer playgrounds, charging only for what you use. This model is ideal for those who generate content variably, offering significant savings by not requiring a monthly or annual subscription. Plus, TypingMind’s user-friendly interface makes it accessible to everyone, even if you’re not tech-savvy.

Call to Action
All three of these super utilities—TextBlaze, Notion, and TypingMind—are about organization and productivity. They allow me to keep my AI prompts and generated content in order, ensuring I can find what I need when I need it. Staying organized is crucial when working with AI, as the volume of generated content can be overwhelming.
By integrating these tools into your workflow, you can double your productivity, whether or not you use AI. Check them out and see how they can revolutionize your efficiency!
I hope you find these tools as transformative as I have. Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments, and let’s continue this journey of AI exploration together!
