Picture this. You’re drowning in emails, tabs, and to-do lists that multiply like caffeinated rabbits. Your brain’s doing the cha-cha while your deadlines do the tango. Not cute.
That’s where AI agents waltz in like a fairy godmother with a computer science degree. These tools don’t just sit there looking pretty – they actually DO stuff for you.
Write emails. Organize chaos. Turn your open browser tabs into functioning apps. (I know. I nearly spit out my coffee too.)
This category houses the Google tools that work alongside you – like having a really smart intern who never needs bathroom breaks and doesn’t steal your lunch from the office fridge.
Ask Photos
Ask Photos: Finally, a way to find that one photo without scrolling through 35,982 pictures of your lunch.
This Gemini-powered feature lets you search your Google Photos using plain English. Ask things like “show me photos of Mom at the beach” or “find screenshots with phone numbers.”
It actually understands context, faces, and locations – like having a personal photo librarian who never judges your 839 cat pictures.
The real magic here? Time savings that’ll make you weep with joy. No more endless scrolling through years of memories looking for that ONE receipt photo.
Your photos become searchable, findable, and actually useful. It’s like Marie Kondo met a search engine and they had a very organized baby.
3 Creative Tips
- Creative Tip #1: Use Ask Photos for content creation research by searching “pictures of me working” or “photos at coffee shops” to find authentic behind-the-scenes content. Pull these into your social media calendar for genuine posts that don’t scream “staged in my bathroom.”
- Creative Tip #2: Search for “screenshots with text” to excavate buried gold like testimonials, DM conversations, or inspiration you saved and forgot about. Turn these rediscovered gems into content ideas or social proof for your sales pages.
- Creative Tip #3: Find product photos by searching descriptions like “flat lay” or “items on white background” when you need quick imagery for Canva Beats paying for stock photos that 55 other marketers are also using right now.
Next, let’s look at:
Disco / GenTabs
Disco: Y’know those 73 browser tabs you have open right now? (Don’t lie. I see you.) Disco’s GenTabs feature takes those chaotic tabs and remixes them into custom apps using Gemini 3.
Upload a recipe tab, a shopping list tab, and a meal planning tab – boom, you’ve got a custom meal planning app.
It’s like a DJ booth for your browser, except instead of sick beats you get functioning tools.
The benefit here is bonkers-level customization without coding. You don’t need to be a developer. You don’t need to understand APIs. You just need tabs and a dream.
Create client dashboards, research compilers, or project trackers from stuff you’re already looking at. It turns browser chaos into actual order. Revolutionary? Maybe. Useful? Absolutely.
3 Creative Tips
- Creative Tip #1: Open tabs with your affiliate product pages, your review template, and your blog editor – then let GenTabs create a custom affiliate content creation app. Streamline your workflow without paying for fancy software.
- Creative Tip #2: Combine your Google Analytics, social media dashboards, and email stats tabs into one unified reporting app. Impress clients with consolidated reports that took you three minutes instead of three hours.
- Creative Tip #3: Build a quick competitor research app by opening tabs of 3-4 competitor websites plus a notes app, then remix into a side-by-side comparison tool. Spy smarter, not harder.
Speaking of smart, let’s talk about the big kahuna – Gemini itself! Move now to:
Gemini
Gemini: This is Google’s flagship AI chatbot – their answer to ChatGPT, and boy did they come swinging.
Gemini handles text, images, code, and documents like a caffeinated octopus juggling flaming torches.
It integrates directly with Google Workspace, so it can peek at your Docs, Sheets, and Gmail.
Think of it as having a brilliant research assistant who also happens to live inside all your Google stuff.
The benefits stack up faster than dirty dishes after Thanksgiving. Draft emails in seconds. Summarize lengthy documents. Brainstorm content ideas.
Create custom “Gems” (basically mini-assistants trained on your specific instructions). It’s free to start, and the paid version unlocks even more ridiculousness.
For content creators and marketers, this is like hiring help without the HR paperwork.
3 Creative Tips
- Creative Tip #1: Create a custom Gem for your brand voice by feeding it examples of your best content and telling it “write like this always.” Use this Gem for all first drafts so everything sounds consistently YOU, not robot-generic.
- Creative Tip #2: Upload competitor sales pages and ask Gemini to analyze their hooks, objections handled, and CTAs – then use those insights to strengthen your own copy. Ethical swiping at its finest.
- Creative Tip #3: Use the “Help me write” feature in Gmail to draft cold outreach emails, then tweak with your personality before sending. Speed plus personalization equals more pitches sent and more yeses received.
Next, let’s look at:
Google Jamboard
Google Jamboard: Remember whiteboards? Those big things covered in someone else’s dried-out marker scribblings?
Jamboard is the digital version, except it never runs out of space and nobody steals your good markers.
Collaborate in real-time with sticky notes, drawings, images, and text. It syncs across devices and saves automatically.
Brainstorming sessions just got an upgrade from “chaotic conference room” to “organized digital wonderland.”
The benefits hit different for remote teams and solo creators alike. Map out content calendars visually. Create mind maps for product launches.
Run virtual workshops with clients who think they’re “not creative.” Everything saves to Google Drive, so your brilliant 2 AM brainstorm doesn’t vanish into the ether.
It’s free, it’s simple, and it makes you look like you have your act together. (Even when you absolutely do not.)
3 Creative Tips
- Creative Tip #1: Create a “Content Ideas” Jamboard where you dump every random idea that hits you throughout the week – then schedule a Friday “harvest session” to turn the best ones into actual content. Capture before you forget.
- Creative Tip #2: Use Jamboard during client onboarding calls to visually map their goals, pain points, and priorities in real-time. Screenshot and send as a “session summary” – instant professionalism points with zero extra effort.
- Creative Tip #3: Build a visual swipe file by dropping screenshots of ads, emails, and sales pages that catch your eye onto a dedicated Jam. Organize by category (hooks, CTAs, headlines) for easy reference when writer’s block strikes.
Next, let’s look at:
Opal
Opal: Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this one’s wild. Opal lets you build, edit, and share AI mini-apps using plain English. No coding. No developers.
Just describe what you want – “Build me a task tracker with due dates and priority levels” – and Opal creates a functioning app.
It’s like having a genie, except instead of three wishes you get unlimited app requests. Now available in 160+ countries, so the magic is spreading.
The benefits for non-techie entrepreneurs are absolutely bananas. Need a client intake form? Describe it. Want a custom calculator for your services? Describe it.
Registration system for your workshop? You guessed it – describe it. One user reportedly ran a 75-person event using an Opal-built registration system.
You’re not just saving money on developers – you’re getting custom tools same-day instead of waiting weeks.
3 Creative Tips
- Creative Tip #1: Build a custom ROI calculator for your services that prospects can use on your sales page. “Enter your current revenue and see what working with me could mean” – instant interactive content that sells while you sleep.
- Creative Tip #2: Create a simple quiz app for lead generation – “What’s Your Business Personality Type?” style – without paying for quiz software subscriptions. Embed on your site or share the link directly in your marketing.
- Creative Tip #3: Build a content idea generator specific to your niche by describing the inputs (topic, platform, audience) and outputs (5 content ideas with hooks) you want. Your own custom brainstorming tool, forever free.
