AI in your company: These tools make it easy to get started
The world of artificial intelligence is growing rapidly—and opening up huge opportunities for businesses and individuals alike. But especially at the beginning, the range of options can often seem overwhelming. Which tools are really useful? Where is it worth getting started? The good news is that you don't have to be an AI expert to reap the benefits. With the right tools, artificial intelligence can quickly become a smart companion in your everyday life. Once you get started, you'll soon find it hard to imagine life without AI tools. Our blog article shows you which AI tools make it particularly easy to take your first steps – and what you should bear in mind when doing so.
AI tools for large and medium-sized enterprises
1. DeepL – Translating with emotions
Whether it’s international communication, multilingual websites, or global teamwork, translations have long been part of everyday life. DeepL takes machine translation to a new level: fast, accurate, and above all, natural-sounding. The AI understands the context and delivers results that are often indistinguishable from human translations. Perfect for anyone who wants to communicate confidently in any language—without spending hours fine-tuning or hiring translation agencies.
2. ChatGPT – The creative assistant for texts and ideas
Writing texts, structuring content, drafting emails, or simply gathering a few ideas – ChatGPT is the perfect sparring partner for anyone who works with words. The AI understands what you need, asks questions, suggests wording, and provides inspiration at the touch of a button. Whether for marketing, customer service, or internal communication, ChatGPT can turn a blank document into a compelling text in no time. A real productivity booster.
3. Perplexity – Research reimagined
When Google becomes too confusing, Perplexity can assist. The smart AI search engine not only provides answers, but also cites the sources. This allows you to research content quickly and thoroughly without having to click through dozens of tabs. It is particularly helpful for anyone who works with information, makes informed decisions, or needs to process knowledge in a short amount of time. A clear advantage: the focus here is on transparency and reliability.
4. Microsoft Copilot – The smart assistant for everyday work
Prepare for and follow up on meetings, summarize notes, automate tasks – Microsoft Copilot brings artificial intelligence directly into familiar tools such as Outlook, Word, Excel, and Teams. The digital assistant analyzes content, suggests next steps, and takes care of repetitive tasks. For anyone who wants to work more efficiently and with greater focus in their everyday work, Copilot can be a real game changer. It makes AI a natural part of day-to-day business.
An example of AI networking – when AI tools work together
Combining different AI tools can quickly generate valuable content: If you are discussing an important topic in a Teams meeting, Copilot could record the meeting, create a transcript, and write a summary. ChatGPT could then be used to create an article for the intranet or blog. And finally, Notebook LM could turn the content into an internal podcast to make it more accessible. This way, a single meeting can generate valuable content – without much effort.
Important to know: What companies should consider when working with AI
Anyone working with artificial intelligence faces a number of challenges. You should keep these basic rules in mind:
- Observe data protection
Tools such as ChatGPT and DeepL process the data provided there and learn from the inputs and corrections. It is therefore essential to ensure that no personal data (names, email addresses, etc.) is entered there. - Think for yourself instead of blindly trusting
Even if the answers sound convincing, AI can make mistakes or produce so-called hallucinations, i.e., statements that appear plausible but are in fact incorrect. Facts should always be double-checked. But that’s not the only reason to always think for yourself: AI should act as an assistant—and your own thoughts should be incorporated. - Keep an eye on tone and style
AI can generate content quickly, but it doesn’t always strike the right tone. With appropriate instructions on the desired tone, AI can move in the right direction from the very first version—or refine it further through feedback. In any case, the result should be checked again at the end and adjusted if necessary. - Continuous learning through exchange
If you want to use AI really effectively, you should regularly exchange ideas with colleagues. How do others use the tools? What experiences have they had? This creates a better understanding of opportunities and limitations – and the input from colleagues helps to constantly find new use cases.
Conclusion: Small tools, big impact
Getting started in the world of AI doesn’t have to be complicated. Even with just a few well-chosen tools, you can make your everyday work noticeably easier. Whether it’s creativity, efficiency, or knowledge, these applications show how versatile artificial intelligence can already be today—if you keep a few things in mind. Now is the perfect time to get started—and to see AI as a real opportunity.
