Duolingo
It's a great app and has legitimately helped my Spanish reading and writing performance. Lessons do sometimes get extremely repetative and I am looking forward to seeing how they use AI to increase the range of lessons, especially with regards to spoken skills.

Ground News from the source
Slowly becoming one of my favourite sources of current affairs. Allows you to clearly see which media covers what headlines and what kind of spin they may be applying. A great option for people who feel like they may be caught in an echochmaber.
Forest
Long time user - it's a clean, simple app that's very effective and gives you the ability to plant real trees. A perfect procrastination killer.

Pocket Casts 7
Genuinely love the Pocketcasts interface and constant product evolution. I was looking for something more custom built for podcast enthusiasts and found exactly what I needed with pocket casts. The discovery feature is well tuned and I like the sleep feature for when I want to close my eyes to someone talking.
Slack
A lot deeper than initially meets the eye. I love its intuitive design and the fact you can easily add apps, reminders and automations into the tool. Essential for global teams.
ChatGPT by OpenAI
Certainly still needs some training and work but it has still revolutionised the way I work and deal with repetative language based tasks. Especially good for travel planning and is slowly replacing google for my info searches. Hallucinations and image creation, plus some problems with formulas do cause issues.
Extremely handy for recapping meetings in a quick, concise manner. Paid subscriber. Especially enjoy the transcription feature and the fact I can send my TLDV bot to meetings without me having to attend.
