We’ve written a fair bit about mind maps on the Taskade blog. Whether it’s digging deep into the history of tree structures, exploring the benefits of digital mind mapping, or sharing tips & tricks in our mind mapping guide, we’ve seen it all. But today, we’re back with something different — let’s take a look at the best AI Mind Map generators for work and personal projects in 2023. 👍…

Artificial intelligence has been a fundamental part of the social media landscape at least since the 2010s. All those uncannily accurate friend suggestions or how your feed magically shows you posts you’d probably like? That’s AI doing its magic. But did you know that you can use AI-powered social media post generators to supercharge your content creation game? Here’s everything you need to know to get started. 👇 🤖 +…

The first official TV commercial aired in 1941, lasted just 10 seconds, and cost $9. Today, artificial intelligence crafts digital ads in milliseconds targeting millions. But does the marriage of generative AI and marketing hold a promise not just of efficiency, but of uncharted creativity? Here’s the thing. AI is not merely about optimizing ad reach or crunching user metrics. It also opens doors to personalized content that resonates. If…

In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin by accident, revolutionizing medicine (also by accident). Generative AI is having a similar “moldy petri dish” moment in the field of content creation. Artificial intelligence can write novels, generate stunning digital art, and help you achieve peak creative performance, that’s as long as you know how to use it properly. In today’s article, we explore the exciting and bizarre world of AI-generated content. We…

Remember when Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso decided to have a paint-off on the Starship Enterprise’s holodeck? No? Well, neither do we. But if you asked ChatGPT, there’s a good chance it would draft a rather vivid account of the encounter and claim it’s exactly how it happened. If you’ve never heard about AI hallucination, here’s everything you need to know. 💡 Before you start… New to AI? Make sure…

Back in the swinging sixties, the “Mad Men” of Madison Avenue used wit and creativity (and an endless supply of cigarettes) to turn out one advertising campaign after another. Fast forward 60 years, and we see a starkly different landscape where AI brainstorming is the new black. Here’s the thing, brainstorming can be fun. But more often than not, you’re stuck in a stuffy room, the taste of your sixth…

“To prompt or not to prompt, that is the question.” If Shakespeare lived today, he would have more success in using ChatGPT than a software engineer. After all, prompt engineering — the art of interacting with AI models — is more of a verbal soliloquy than a coding symphony. Chances are that by now you’ve tried a dozen popular AI tools. Maybe you’ve coaxed ChatGPT to generate witty haikus or…

From “Star Trek’s” Holodeck to Tony Stark’s JARVIS in “Iron Man,” the idea of artificial intelligence creating intellectual value has been a staple of science fiction for decades. In today’s article, we take a closer look at generative AI tools that make those visions a reality. The current wave of generative AI tools are smart, capable, and learning new tricks at a pace humans can’t compete with. They can “paint”…

Have you ever wondered how Siri or Alexa understand your requests? Why is ChatGPT so good at decoding the nuances of Shakespearean sonnets? Or how your bank’s chatbot can sympathize with your financial woes? The answer is Natural Language Processing (NLP). NLP is one of the core technologies that power modern AI systems and tools. In most cases, it works behind the scenes, translating the nuances of human language into…

The IBM 7090 computer tasked with trajectory calculations at mission control for the Apollo 11 space mission had a clock speed of about 2 MHz, but it still managed to take humans to the moon and back, a wildly ambitious and high-stakes project by any standards. Fast-forward a little over 50 years, AI project management tools running on a regular smartphone let project managers plan, manage, and execute complex projects…

In the beginning, there was ChatGPT, an AI chatbot based on the GPT-3.5 large language model (LLM) developed by OpenAI. And ChatGPT was smart. It had wit, charm, and an almost encyclopedic knowledge of language and culture. But ChatGPT was also flawed in its design — it lacked autonomy and volition to perform complex tasks without human supervision. If LLMs were to write their origin story, this would make for…
