AI tools are shifting from “chatbots” to work assistants that can research, write, design, code, summarize meetings, and even automate multi-step tasks across your apps (the “ agentic” trend ). 1) How to choose the “best” AI tool (without wasting money) Before picking tools, decide your main use case: Writing & content (blogs, captions, emails, SEO briefs) Research (summaries, citations, fact-checking) Design (social posts, thumbnails, brand kits) Video & audio (shorts, voiceovers, podcasts) Coding (debugging, refactors, documentation) Meetings (notes, summaries, action items) Automation (connect apps + run workflows) Then check these 4 filters: Output quality (is it consistently good for your tasks?) Workflow fit (does it live where you already work—Docs, Notion, IDE, Zoom, etc.?) Privacy & data (can you avoid uploading sensitive info?) Total cost (subscription + add-ons + time saved) 2) The best AI tools by category (2...
“ Training Agentic AI : Learn how to build, train and deploy autonomous AI agents — from design patterns , data pipelines, reinforcement learning , tool-use , multi-agent systems and real-world best-practices.” Artificial Intelligence has reached a new frontier: not just systems that respond and generate content, but systems that plan, execute, adapt and learn autonomously — what we’ve called in the previous post “Agentic AI”. In this article we’ll go deeper into how to train such systems: from architecture, data, algorithms, tools, deployment, monitoring to ethics, so you (as a technologist, researcher, developer or business leader) can understand how to build or oversee an agentic AI workflow. Why “Training” Matters for Agentic AI When we talk about “training” in the context of traditional machine learning , we often mean fitting a model to labelled data, tuning hyper-parameters, then deploying. But for agentic AI the training (and the ongoing learning) becomes far more comp...
