With the surge of new AI tools hitting the market every day, it can be hard to keep up. From chatbots to writing tools to image generators, AI is certainly changing the way we work—at an astounding pace.  

Now, the business world is turning its attention to AI-powered personal assistants. Those are the tools you can train to sound like yourself, organize your work, and collaborate on projects. Personal AI is one such tool. Think of it as building yourself a second brain, where you can store everything from personal memories to work projects and busy schedules. 

And when you pair it with Zapier, you can take it to the next level by having it assist you in messaging other people, creating and summarizing content, and remembering important information. Here are four ways you can automate your workflows to make the most out of Personal AI:

• Manage your business communication

• Stay up to date with your calendar events

• Transform the way you manage projects

• Save and manage key research

Manage your business communication  

Because Personal AI acts as your assistant (and mimics your voice), it makes sense that you'd want to delegate some (or a lot) of your business communication over to it. Whether you want to respond to Slack messages or incoming emails from fellow team members, Personal AI can help speed up the process of responding to internal company communication. 

Plus, given that you can feed it extra context as you train it (like who specific team members are or what projects you're working on), Personal AI can draft responses with extra details specific to your role. 

But that doesn't mean you want to spend time copying and pasting company messages into Personal AI then manually sending out its responses. With these Zaps, you can set up an automatic process that will do the heavy lifting for you. 

As soon as you receive a new email in a specific folder or a Slack message is sent to a specific channel, Zapier will send it straight to Personal AI. Then, Personal AI will generate a response, and Zapier will send it to your team via email or Slack. Job done. 

Want to save important messages directly inside Personal AI? Perhaps you're scrolling through team chat threads and see an important company update that you want to refer back to later. With these Zaps, you can save those messages directly within Personal AI and go over them when you have more time. 

Stay up to date with your calendar events

Ever struggle to manage your schedule? From spontaneous meetings thrown on my calendar to events that are scheduled weeks in advance, I often struggle to remember what I'm doing on any given day. 

Wouldn't it be helpful if you could just… ask your assistant? Personal AI can give you the rundown on upcoming calendar events, including the attendees, description, and any prep you need to do beforehand. But only if you use these Zaps. 

With them, you can connect your calendar to Personal AI so that it automatically stores every new event added to your schedule. Then, you can either ask Personal AI directly about specific events or notify yourself in Slack whenever a new event is coming up. 

Transform the way you manage projects and save outcomes

Once I finish a project, I have a terrible habit of forgetting all about it. As a writer, I generally keep an eye out for the specific outcomes or results a campaign or blog post might have generated, but it's true that I don't log these in any database.

Yet, this information can be invaluable when it comes to performance reviews. Easily submitting professional achievements to your manager (without having to search through ancient Slack conversations) is a game-changer. 

With these Zaps, you can send project information (including briefs, URLs of finished work, and the results) straight to Personal AI from your database or Slack message. That way, in the future you can just ask Personal AI to draft up a summary based on your previous projects. 

Alternatively, you might struggle to get started on a project. Or maybe every now and then you miss out on a request that's logged in your project management tool (like Notion). With this Zap, you can automatically send new project or task requests to Personal AI, so your assistant can let you know what you're supposed to be doing—and when. 

Save and manage your research

Chances are your role requires you to carry out research every now and then. Whether you're researching a niche topic for a blog article or looking into content trends for a specific marketing campaign, you'll probably get hit with an influx of information. 

And when you come across key insights or web articles critical to your projects, you'll want a handy way to store—and summarize—them. Doing so manually takes time and effort, so why not let Personal AI take care of it?

With these Zaps, you can set up workflows that will automatically take information from your database or a webpage, summarize the contents, then store it directly in Personal AI so you can refer back to it later.
