Chapter 6: Enhancing Personal Productivity
In this final chapter, we take a step outside of the office for a moment. Meaning we want to focus on your own personal productivity. We’ve talked so much about content creation, project management, and everything in between.
But AI tools are not always made for work purposes. We will discuss how AI learning platforms can be helpful for skill development. And we’ll also discuss which health and wellness apps have AI features that will help you stay on top of things in order to live a healthy lifestyle.
We’re in the home stretch. Ready to get started? Let’s do this.
Personalized AI Learning Platforms for Skill Development
When it comes to skill development, there are plenty of AI learning platforms that you can take advantage of. There are plenty of benefits that come with these types of platforms including automating tasks, creating learning experiences at your own pace, and receiving course recommendations based on the skills you want to learn.
Let’s take a look at the following platforms that might be the best fit for your skill development needs:
Teachable (https://teachable.com/)
This platform has long been one of the best course platforms online. And it has since incorporated the power of AI in an effort to create a curriculum where you can create your own course.
That is unless you have a skill or two of your own that you want to teach others.
You also have a quiz generator, subtitles and translations, and a summary generator for your course. Yes, you can make course building with AI a lot easier. Especially when someone is looking to learn something new – whether it’s AI-related or not.
Memrise (https://www.memrise.com/)
Want to learn a new language? Want AI to give you a hand with it as well? Say hello to Memrise. You can learn one of almost two dozen languages that are gamified to make it even more fun. It also has an AI chatbot tutor that will help you sharpen your language skills. Have conversations with the bot in your desired language so you gain more confidence in reading, writing, and even speaking it.
If you want to learn a new language using AI and with a fun twist, Memrise just be numero uno (en Espanol) on your list.
360 Learning (https://360learning.com/)
One of the best features of this learning platform is a “recommended for you section” so you can learn different skills based on your behavior. Specifically your learning behavior.
It will also operate based on your training history. And yes, you too can use it to create your own courses.
AI can be an excellent tool for both course creators and students. You can use it to customize learning experiences based on the needs of those who want to learn a new skill. As a course creator, you can be able to generate content with ease using tools like Jasper or even ChatGPT.
Imagine creating course slides in seconds and have something put together for someone hungry to learn a skill that you love to teach. As a student, you can take one course and then follow it up with another so you can improve your skill set thanks to AI’s ability to recommend other courses based on your learning behavior.
Furthermore, AI can also prove itself useful as a tutor, making it easier to analyze your performance as a learner while being able to put together a customized lesson plan in order for you to develop the skills you want to learn from basic levels and up.
Health and Wellness Apps with AI Features
Our health and wellness – both physical and mental – are important. So it would make sense to track it as best we can. There are plenty of apps that come with AI features.
EvolveAI (https://www.evolveai.app/)
If you are looking for a personal trainer that is powered by AI, this is the app you want to try out. It will give you personalized workouts, advice on your diet, as well as the ability to check-in daily with your progress. You can also use voice-to-text technology so you can be able to keep track of your fitness progress and meet your goals with ease. Pretty neat, isn’t it?
Fitbod (https://fitbod.me/)
If you are looking for a similar app, Fitbod is a good option too. What makes this stand out is that it can track your progress based on muscle fatigue from your last workouts. Never worry about figuring out which exercise to choose when you have an app that can make sure you don’t choose the wrong one and injure yourself. This is also compatible with AI wearables such as Fitbit, Apple Health, and similar devices.
Wysa (https://www.wysa.com/)
Let’s focus on the mental health aspect for a moment. This uses an AI system that will provide you with excellent care in conjunction with human coaching in case they need additional assistance. You can track your mood, learn how to think more positively, and get an excellent level of support that is a good fit for any mental health issues you may be dealing with.
By the way, this is not just a great tool for your personal use. If you have team members in your business that want to focus on their own mental health, we cannot help but recommend this specific app for them. That’s because mental health can be on the line in a work environment.
Wysa can also help your team members out whenever they are struggling. You can also do your part to look out for them as well. Because mental health is more than just what AI can do.
Final Thoughts
AI is great for personal productivity, skill development, and yes even keeping track of your health as well. Now, some of the productivity apps you use in the office can be useful for personal use as well.
You can create checklists for AM or PM routines. You can use AI to keep track of your diet and fitness habits. And you can use it when your mind doesn’t seem like it's in the right place.
Keep in mind that AI doesn’t replace emergency medical help. Nor does it replace any kind of assistance in case you are dealing with a severe mental health crisis. In case of such emergencies, it is important to make sure you call the appropriate emergency number (i.e – 911 in the United States and Canada).
Other than that, AI can make tracking your fitness and overall health a lot easier. But don’t forget to take the best care of yourself every day. Hey, you might even use AI to plan your diet and workout.
