Top AI Tools to Boost Productivity in 2025

In today’s world, AI or Artificial Intelligence has become more than a buzzword. It is shaping the way we live, work, and interact. From unlocking our phone with our face to Amazon and Netflix recommendations, AI is everywhere.

What is AI(Artificial Intelligence)?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the ability of a machine or software to perform tasks that require human intelligence, like reasoning, problem-solving, language understanding, and perceiving the world through vision or sound. AI lets computers think and work like humans.

The key characteristics of AI include learning, reasoning, natural language processing, perception, and automation. It is about making machines smart and reducing human effort.

There are four main functional types of artificial intelligence (AI). They are:

• Reactive Machines – which act based on current input.
• Limited Memory – which uses past data to make decisions.
• Theory of Mind – advanced AI that understands emotions and thoughts.
• Self-aware – the future stage of AI that possesses human-like consciousness.
