Hey Everyone,
Quillbot, Leonardo, Perplexity, Poe, PIXLR…. After weeks of parsing over 1,000 data points from hundreds of Generative AI tools, it’s here. If you like AI tools, you might want to bookmark this article.
If you know my work well, you’ll know I’m obsessed with the intersection of AI and the future of work (archives).
With Agentic AI on the horizon, it’s time for us to start paying attention to the AI tools that are really being used by employees and in corporate and entrepreneurial settings. Tools are coming that will be able to do more, a lot more.
Daan van Rossum is having a live-event about the report this article is based on, please RSVP if you are interested. Time: Mon, Apr 8, 2024.

Why Analyze Future of Work Reports?
In 2023, everyone from LinkedIn to RingCentral made reports on the Future of Work with AI. We covered a lot of them on this publication.
As we review reports and summaries by both third parties, economists and consulting firms, a clearer picture begins to emerge in a fast changing environment. How much will AI change the future of work?

Generative AI for Work Keeps Growing
Now in 2024, Enterprise AI is becoming the next frontier as Generative AI and BigTech both try to unlock more value and productivity for workers.

Small language models becoming more efficient.
Agentic AI is being born
Open-Source LLMs are compounding their improvements
AI Tools and startups are consolidating
A new batch of Generative AI early preed-seed startups are being born
Top 100 AI for Work by FlexOS
“New data on the Top 100 AI for Work tools shows that with over 3 billion monthly visits, AI is adopted wider than generally reported.
Tools like Github Copilot, Canva Magic Studio, Leonardo, Perplexity, and 96 other platforms make people up to 50% more productive at work, allowing them to focus on what humans are uniquely good at: strategic, creative, and meaningful work.
The data seems to underscore that AI won’t take jobs, but that people skilled at AI will.” Daan van Rossum, join the April 8th event.
How do professionals save 10s of horus each week with their stack of tools? This is what I intend to find out with Daan’s report.
You might have already explored their AI Top 100.
Daan is located in Vietnam and I’m a huge fan of what he is doing.
In 2022, van Rossum, who is from the Netherlands and moved to Ho Chi Minh City, founded FlexOS. FlexOS helps people-centric managers stay ahead in the future of work. Let’s dig into some of the findings:
Quillbot is fairly high again, compared to the B2C graph by a16z in March.

Let me know what you think of some of these tools:
And Still, growing… Nearly 3 Billion Visits
According to the Report, measured from December to February, Generative AI tools for work kept growing. Even though February was slightly shorter, the Top 100 grew by 52 million visits globally.
In total, the Top 100 tools booked 2,909 billion visits versus 2,857 billion in December. Normalized for the number of days, this means a 9% increase in just two months, dispelling any myths that Generative AI use is declining.

Poe is like a gateway and Claude 3 based on Anthorp[ic’s Opus model is the best. Poe is well on its way to building a universal AI messaging client. It’s app is very popular because you can try out so much on it.
