🧠 Overwhelmed by AI? Start with these 3 tools.

Hey it's Oliver here.

One thing I keep hearing is this:

"There are so many tools… I don’t even know where to start."

You're not alone. Most people I talk to feel overwhelmed by AI—the hype is loud, the interfaces are confusing, and honestly, half these tools just don't work like they promise.

So I've been testing everything to cut through the noise. I wanted to find the ones that:

• Are easy to use without needing to "learn AI" first
• Actually help with everyday stuff (emails, planning, writing)
• Don't waste your time

Here are 3 simple ones (Not Sponsored) I'd genuinely recommend — each with a quick demo so you can decide fast whether it's worth your time:

📊 Gamma – Presentations, magically done

Gamma is honestly one of the most underrated AI tools. If you dread designing slides, this one’s for you. I used it recently to turn a rough idea into a clean, sharable presentation in minutes — no fiddling with fonts or layouts. It’s perfect for pitching ideas, explaining concepts, or just organizing thoughts visually.

✍️ Compose AI – Write faster, reply smarter

I’ve been using Compose AI in my browser for weeks, and it’s one of those tools that just quietly makes life easier.
It’s like autocomplete, but smarter — helping you write emails, blog posts, or quick replies with just a few keystrokes.
Great if you do a lot of typing and want to speed things up without sacrificing tone.

⚡ Merlin – Bring ChatGPT anywhere

If you’ve ever copied a chunk of text into ChatGPT just to rewrite or summarize it, Merlin saves you a step. It lives in your browser and lets you highlight anything — an email, tweet, or article — and get help right there. I’ve used it to draft replies, rewrite paragraphs, and even just break down complex content. This demo video is a downloadable link, but it is worth it to take a look at it if you're interested.
