You’re already paying for these apps. The AI is already built in. Most people just haven’t turned it on. Here’s what each one does and exactly how to set it up.
Zoom, Slack, Notion, Google Docs, and Google Sheets all shipped AI features in the last year. Most of them are included in plans you’re already paying for. Here’s what they do and how to turn each one on today.
01
Zoom — AI Meeting Notes
Zoom takes meeting notes for you, summarizes the call, and lists every action item with who owns it.
Click the sparkle icon during your next meeting to turn on AI Companion. It listens to the entire call, writes a summary when the meeting ends, and pulls out action items with the person responsible for each one. The summary gets emailed to attendees automatically. You never have to write meeting notes again.
Included free on any paid Zoom plan (Pro, Business, Enterprise)
02
Slack — Channel Recaps & Thread Summaries
Slack summarizes your busiest channels every morning and condenses long threads into 3 sentences.
Set up daily channel recaps and Slack summarizes what happened in your noisiest channels before you even open them. Click “Summarize” on any long thread and get the key points instantly. It also transcribes huddle calls and pulls out action items — so you don’t have to listen to a 30-minute recording to find out what was decided.
Included on Slack Pro, Business+, and Enterprise Grid
03
Notion — AI That Searches Your Entire Workspace
Ask a question and Notion AI pulls the answer from your notes, databases, and docs.
Ask “what did the team decide about the launch date?” and Notion searches across your entire workspace to find the answer — from meeting notes, project docs, databases, wherever it lives. It also autofills database properties (like tagging, categorizing, and summarizing rows) and writes page summaries so you can skim a 10-page doc in 5 seconds.
Notion AI: $10/member/month add-on (or included in Notion Business/Enterprise)
04
Google Docs — Help Me Write
“Help Me Write” drafts content that sounds like you — because it learns from your past emails and docs.
This is now free for everyone with a Google account. Type what you need, and Google drafts it. The part most people don’t know: it pulls context from your other Google apps to personalize what it writes. It learns your writing style from past emails and documents, so drafts actually sound like you — not like a robot.
Free for all Google accounts. Advanced features on Google Workspace plans.
05
Google Sheets — AI Formulas & Analysis
Describe what you need in plain English and Sheets writes the formula for you.
“Calculate the average of column B only for rows where column A says Q1.” Sheets writes the formula. No more Googling VLOOKUP syntax or trying to remember IF statements. It also generates charts from a single prompt and analyzes data — ask “what are the top trends in this data?” and it tells you.
Free for all Google accounts. Advanced features on Google Workspace plans.
