AI Tool of the Day: Read AI – Search Copilot
An AI-powered universal search assistant for your work.

• What it does: Search Copilot unifies your information across platforms (emails, chats, meetings, documents, etc.) into one smart search tool. It connects with apps like Slack, Teams, Zoom, Gmail, Google Drive and more to provide contextual answers with AI-generated summaries and source citationsaichief.com. In short, instead of manually digging through multiple apps, you can ask one question and get the answer (with references) in seconds.

• Why it matters: The average person uses 11 different applications a dayread.ai – no wonder important info gets siloed and hard to find. Search Copilot tackles this overload by scanning all those platforms at once (it can index thousands of apps) and retrieving what you need instantlyread.ai. This saves time and keeps you in the flow. Bonus: You stay in control of your data – you decide which sources to connect and index, and your content isn’t used to train outside modelsread.aiaichief.com.

• How to use it: It’s available as a web app (and even as a Chrome extension and iOS app)aichief.com. You can start for free: sign up on the Read AI website (free tier availableaichief.com), connect the services you use (email, chat, cloud drives, etc.), and let it index your data. Then just type natural language questions or keywords – e.g. “Find the budget spreadsheet Alice sent last week” – and Search Copilot will surface the answer or document you need. It’s like having a personal AI research assistant that knows where all your stuff is.

Mini Workflow: Automated Email Drafts with ChatGPT
Use AI to handle the boring email replies, so you can focus on more important work.

Ever find yourself writing the same types of emails over and over? Here’s a quick workflow to automate that using Zapier and ChatGPT (no coding needed):

1. Trigger on new emails: Set up a Zap (Zapier workflow) that triggers whenever a new email comes in – for example, a customer inquiry to your Gmail or a specific label/tag you choose.

2. Draft a reply with AI: Add an action in Zapier that sends the email content to OpenAI’s ChatGPT. With one simple Zap, you can have ChatGPT generate a thoughtful reply draft automaticallyzapier.com. For instance, it could read a customer’s question and compose a polite, detailed response for you.

3. Review & send: The AI-generated reply is then saved as a draft in your email (e.g. in Gmail)zapier.com. You’ll get a pre-written response ready to go – just give it a quick look, make any tweaks if necessary, and hit send. Voilà! You’ve saved time and ensured no email slips through the cracks.

Why this is useful: You eliminate the grunt work of drafting routine emails. This workflow is great for customer support, sales follow-ups, or even personal email templates. Once set up, it runs in the background – ChatGPT becomes your email assistant, working 24/7 to draft responses so you only fine-tune and approve them. (Just be sure to double-check the drafts for accuracy before sending!)
