What I use it for:

Let’s be honest - Chatty is my life coach ;) As a PR professional, I use it daily as a sparring partner - drafting ideas, organizing thoughts, research and summarize daily news, look up journalist names in a specific field (+ articles), and also as an interview prep tool (it always has the trickiest questions for me to solve).

Why I can't live without it:

I can live without it and have successfully for many years. However, I don’t want to anymore, as it accelerates my thinking process. As I am human, Chat GPT helps me to move from rough ideas to structured concepts fast, challenges my own perspective, and refines messaging with clarity and precision - on days when I sometimes do not have the time to think.

If I could change one thing:

Longer chats secure a learning process for the algorithm, however the longer the chats, the more data is processed, and it takes more time to answer (and sometimes even freezes completely) - trick: I found it performs better on the mobile app if this happens.

What I use it for:

Social listening and understanding how brands are actually perceived outside internal bubbles. I use it to track sentiment, media conversations, and emerging topics across markets.

Why I can't live without it:

Good communication decisions should never be based on gut feeling alone. Brandwatch gives me real-time insight into what people and media actually say - not what we think they say.

If I could change one thing:

Dashboards can get complex quickly. A slightly more intuitive UX for non-analysts would make collaboration easier.

What I use it for:

Quick visual drafts, social posts, presentation slides, and moodboards. Especially useful when ideas need to become visible fast without involving a full design process (not a designer, so pretty helpful).

Why I can't live without it:

Speed and independence. It allows me to translate communication ideas into visuals immediately, which makes alignment with teams and stakeholders much easier.

If I could change one thing:

More flexibility in typography and layout for advanced users. Sometimes it’s almost too templated.

What I use it for:

You are probably going to question my professional background now, but try it before you mock it. I’ve rarely seen more accurate visualizations. I mainly use it for small image adjustments in presentations and occasionally for vision boards.

Why I can't live without it:

I can. It’s not a mandatory tool to have, just an interesting tool to try out.

If I could change one thing:

I wish the environment had a more professional feel, as the output quality is actually very good.

What I use it for:

I am a firm believer in a healthy body and a healthy mind. You are more resilient, creative, and structured when you feel energized and balanced. I use Lifesum for not only tracking daily nutrition, but to stay consistent with my health goals - which ultimately keeps me focused and clear in my professional life as well.

Why I can't live without it:

It gives my day a structure and awareness I wouldn't want to miss.

If I could change one thing:

A stronger integration of mental and physical well-being - more of a holistic life-management approach.
