1 Introduction

There are countless AI tools and more are being published each day. This paper aims to offer an
overview of such tools, but it is practically impossible to be complete or up to date. Accordingly, the
aim is to sketch the landscape of readily available AI tools, and to offer a handful of examples in
each area (not all of which we have tried).

1.1 Brief Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to computer systems that can perform tasks that traditionally require
human intelligence, such as visual perception, language processing, or decision-making. Although
research into AI started in the 1950's, advances in computing power allowed for significant advanses
in the last decade or so.

Approaches to AI include symbolic AI (e.g. Expert systems) or evolutionary programming (mostly

applied towards optimization), but lately Machine Learning (ML) is dominant. ML involves "training"
computer models on large amounts of data so they can make predictions based on patterns. A
common type of ML model is a neural network, which is inspired by the human brain. Deep learning
considers a class of multiple layered neural network models. Two major areas of AI that use deep
learning are natural language processing (NLP) and sensory perception.

• NLP focuses on processing human language, for example translating between languages or
answering questions. Large language models (LLMs) like GPT-3 are NLP models trained on
massive collections of texts.
• Sensory perception deals with analyzing visual, auditive, or other sensory data to arrive at
higher-level insights and predictions. This includes human senses (e.g., computer vision), but
also non-human senses (interpretation of MRI scans or wifi signals).

Broadly, AI is applied in the following contexts:

• Robotics and computer vision (e.g. self-driving cars, manufacturing, healthcare diagnostics)
• Business & Enterprise (e.g. chatbots, predictive analytics)
• Professional support (e.g. ChatGPT, Midjourney)

Many domains are impacted significantly by AI. To mention a few: healthcare (e.g. diagnosis &
treatment planning), cybersecurity (threat detection, network security), manufacturing industries,
both in products and in processes (transportation and automation), agriculture (crop monitoring,
predictive analytics), media (AI-created content). This paper focuses on the second and third
category. We consider tools that are easily available for individual professionals and we do not
consider applications that are embedded in (enterprise) processes.

1.2 Ethical considerations & the EU - AIA

As AI is embedded in more and more relevant (or even critical) processes, ethical consideration in
the creation and use of AI become more relevant. For instance, AI tools should not discriminate
(race, religion, ...), should not be biased (politics, brands, ...) and should not misinform. Some ethical
considerations include:

• Fairness: AI tools should not discriminate against people (race, gender, religion, ...).

• Transparency: AI tools should be transparent about how they work and make decisions. It
should be clear how (user) data is used.
• Accountability: There should be a way to hold developers and users of AI tools responsible for
any harm that the AI tool causes.
• Privacy: AI tools should respect people's privacy.
• Safety: AI tools should be safe to use.

The European Union is in the process of ratifying the Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) which will have
consequences for organizations applying AI in so-called 'critical' processes. More about this can be
read at todo. For now, readers should be aware that the application of AI will be restricted by law in
the future.

2 Categorization

There is an overwhelming number of tools that

offer more or less specific AI-based services. Just
listing these tools seems pointless, but there is no
generally accepted categorization. This paper
offers a categorization, under the understanding
that categories are subjective and that tools could
be categorized in multiple ways. As a matter of
fact, a few tools are listed below under more than
one categories, because they are important
instances in each category.

The main categories discussed below are:

• Ideation: the process of innovating and

developing ideas
• Business: activities related to strategy, sales,
marketing, and analysis
• Communication: creating, organizing, and
sharing information
• Creation: generating audio, visual, and other
multimedia content
• Lifestyle: applications related to personal life
and leisure
• Implementation: turning designs and plans
into completed solutions
• Operations: managing systems, processes, and resources to enable operations

This listing shows a preference for tools that offer a free subscription tier, since this allows
professionals to evaluate tools at their own pace. For this reason we tag tools (with $) which do not
offer a free-tier subscription, although most do offer a free trial period. Note that this information may
no longer be accurate for some tools. Most tools are accessible online, through a browser, but some
tools are components used to create tools programmatically. Such tools are marked with 'DIY'.

3 The Tools

3.1 Ideation
In this category:

• Chatbots
 • Orchestrating AI
• Research
• Search
• Hubs

3.1.1 Chatbots

A chatbot is a conversational agent or dialogue system - a software application based on natural

language processing (NLP) and large language models (LLMs) that is trained on very large numbers
of texts. Chatbots are able to conduct coherent conversations, understand context and intent, answer
questions based on their training data, complete partial thoughts, think out of the box, often providing
novel responses, and be customized for specific use cases or workflows.

3.1.2 Orchestrating AI

Orchestrating AI (OAI), also called Auto-GPT's, refers to systems that coordinate and combine
multiple AI agents to accomplish complex goals. An OAI decomposes high-level goals into sub-
tasks, and invokes specialized AI tools or agents for each sub-task. The orchestrator combines the
output from each AI agent to determine the next steps to achieve the overall goal. Key capabilities of
orchestrated AI include understanding instructions, reasoning about sub-goals, selecting appropriate
agents, monitoring progress, and integrating results.

4 Closing Remarks

This paper has aimed to provide a broad landscape overview of the burgeoning field of AI tools and
applications for professionals. While certainly not comprehensive given the vast scope and rapid
pace of advancement, we have sought to highlight some of the key capabilities and offerings across
categories like ideation, business, communication, creation, implementation, and operations.

The tools listed only scratch the surface of what is available, but hopefully provide a useful sampling
for readers to understand the state of the art and explore further. As noted, many of the tool
descriptions were AI-generated, illustrating how systems like Claude (Anthropic) can rapidly
synthesize and summarize information once provided appropriate source context.

Looking ahead, we can expect the democratization and proliferation of AI to continue apace.
Advancements in core techniques like large language models, computer vision, and multi-agent
coordination will unlock new possibilities. Meanwhile, startups and incumbents will continue
packaging these innovations into products targeting every industry and profession.

However, careful thought must be given to the ethical application of these powerful technologies. AI
must be directed towards augmenting human intelligence rather than replacing it. Auditing
processes, ensuring transparency, and embedding ethics are critical. Still, if developed responsibly,
AI tools have immense potential to empower professionals, expand creativity, increase productivity,
and help solve global challenges. We are only beginning to glimpse the beneficial synergies between
human and artificial intelligence.
