Who doesn’t want an easier life? A way to streamline your workload, social engagements and household tasks so you can spend more time doing the things you enjoy?

The conversations around AI have been gaining speed over the last few years, which means we’re all on a very steep learning curve. This level of change can feel anxiety-inducing, but tech experts remind us that AI isn’t a malevolent force out to replace us. Rather, it’s a set of tools we can use to our advantage, and you probably already are – whether you rely on the navigation of Google Maps or are thankful for the spellcheck that tidies up your emails.

The worry is that women are being left behind in the AI adoption race. Meanwhile, we’re facing increasing workloads, with 58% of UK women working over an hour extra every week. In a world where we can offload and outsource the more mundane tasks of our daily lives to free up headspace for the creative and human stuff, we should feel empowered to take full advantage of everything AI has to offer.

This is what Dyana Najdi, Google’s managing director for UKI advertising, spoke passionately about on the main stage at this year’s Stylist Live. “It’s on us to make sure women have equal access to AI tools and understand the benefits, because AI shouldn’t replace what you do – it should enhance it.”

The question is, if we’re not already using AI to boost our productivity, solve problems or free up time, where do we start? Here, Najdi shares her four favourite AI tools you can start using now to make your life and work that little bit easier.
