First time posting here — curious how this community actually uses AI tools day-to-day

Hey PH 👋 Long-time lurker, first post.

I've been building in the AI tools space for a while now — specifically around knowledge management and research workflows. Spent a lot of time studying how people actually use these tools versus how builders think they'll be used, and the gap is always surprising.

What I keep noticing: most people who try AI productivity tools abandon them within two weeks. Not because the tools are bad — but because the habit never forms. The tool requires too much intentional input before it gives anything useful back.

That friction point is what I've been obsessing over lately.

Genuinely curious about this community specifically — do you have an AI tool that actually stuck for you long-term, and what made it click? Not looking for recommendations, more interested in what changed behaviorally that made it become a habit rather than a novelty.
