Bonus Hack: AI as Your Soul Mirror

Heads-Up: This hack unveils your true self—are you ready for unfiltered reflection? Dive in only if you’re comfortable with AI revealing who you really are.

Ever wondered, “Who am I?” Ask ChatGPT to analyze your past chats—it might say you’re a curious planner who overthinks decisions. Unlike tech giants hiding this for ads, AI hands you the mirror. Prompt it with “Who am I based on my chats?” and refine your habits for sharper productivity. It’s a game-changer you haven’t tried!

III. AI Agents: Trial & Traction

AI agents are designed to go beyond chat—they aim to act on your behalf. Tools like Gemini 2.5 on Android (evolving from classic “OK Google”) represent this shift: from answering questions to executing tasks like setting reminders, creating calendar entries, or summarizing content automatically.

While promising, this space is still in its early stages of adoption. Results vary—sometimes seamless, sometimes frustrating. But there’s no doubt: AI agents are the future of productivity.

📌 Watch this space—and test these tools with real tasks. As they evolve, so will your daily efficiency.
