The Best New AI Tools You Should Know (May 2025 Edition)

This edition of the AI Toolbox features several sections: * 3 cutting-edge AI tools that were highlighted that month. * A quick productivity tip using ChatGPT and Notion. * A thought on how to evaluate "good" AI tools. * Community replies from the previous issue and a new question for readers. The Top 3 AI Tools of the Month featured are: * Vanna.ai: Described as Natural Language → SQL, allowing users to "talk to your data like a human" by typing requests that Vanna then translates into SQL queries and runs. The author likes it because it saves time for analysts and enables non-technical people to explore data independently. * Ideogram.ai: An AI image generation tool specifically highlighted for getting text inside images correct, unlike tools like Midjourney. It's suggested for creating posters, Instagram graphics, and branding mockups. * AskYourPDF: This tool allows users to chat with any PDF document. You can upload papers, contracts, or academic works and ask questions about them, such as the main argument in a specific section. It is described as free, fast, and superior to manually scrolling through documents. A Quick Tip is provided for users of Notion: Paste meeting notes into Notion and then ask ChatGPT to summarize them in bullet points with key takeaways. A bonus tip mentions using the ChatGPT browser plugin to fetch Notion content automatically. This is a public episode.
