Everyone’s building with AI but is anyone actually using it daily?
Feels like every other product launch now has some kind of AI baked in summarizing, generating, guessing what we want before we want it. I’m building with it too, and it’s impressive… but I keep wondering how often users really come back for it.
So here’s the question:
Are you actually using AI features in the tools you rely on daily?
Or do they feel more like a cool extra than a core habit?
Even better:
Have you seen a product where the AI feels like it belongs like it’s genuinely useful and not just a checkbox?
Curious what’s really sticking and what’s just surface-level hype.

Agree with @manu_goel2. AIs that are really baked into essential business workflows can create a lot of value. A lot of builders on this platform know how much AI can help with coding tasks, and imo, it's the same in many other industries - it's just that the average person won't be familiar with the essential workflows of most industries. E.g., Global 500 companies currently use our AI to track and analyze policy/regulatory developments in dozens of countries at a time, a task that would otherwise require a large team of analysts. But unless you worked in government relations, you would never experience the impact AI has on these workflows.
Having built sales AI tools, I can clearly say that even with all the AI available, you have to really bake yourself in order to get a meaningful product out.
When I started, I thought the tech would all be available and I have to just get it all to work together. But it was a big big surprise when I found that almost all of it was hype and you had to do your own research to get the results you want. Forums did not have any real info. Talking to top architects in the area, I got to know that "there is research going on in that direction"
AI features in daily tools are more like hype. But, AI tools that solve a problem are the ones making a difference.

I use AI if the product has its own, but not like ChatGPT, I am interested in using it when it is adapted to the product and it can perform better functions that the product does. I think it is different from regular AI, and sometimes products are interesting
