I used an AI browser for work. My afternoons became boring and I loved it
Every day at 4 p.m., I have a ritual. And not a fun one. I go through all my browser tabs (usually numbering in the dozens), update Asana, and spend a groggy hour digging through Slack, Teams, shared docs, and email threads trying to reconstruct the day. If you work in digital media, or any fast-moving industry, you know the real work happens in the margins: decisions made in a flurry of DMs, files dropped without context, or action items buried beneath emoji reactions. This past week, I tried something different. I spent it inside Everyday, the self-styled 'AI-Work Browser' that just opened to the public after a private beta run. As the COO of a digital media company constantly toggling between strategy, sales, creative, and operations, I was an ideal test subject. The verdict? Everyday might not be perfect, but it's already indispensable. Recommended Videos Taming the App Hydra Let's get the basics out of the way: Everyday is a browser built specifically for work (check out the video here). That means it's designed to integrate with your existing work stack (Slack, Notion, Google Drive, Figma, Asana, you name it) without forcing you to rip and replace. The centerpiece is an AI agent that can search, summarize, plan, and even act across tools. Split-screen and canvas modes let you pin multiple views at once, so you're not bouncing between tabs a like a caffeine-addled kangaroo. But that's not what sold me. What sold me was what happened on Wednesday afternoon. Our partnerships team had a deck to review before a pitch. Normally, I'd scroll through email threads to find the latest version, ping someone to clarify changes, then hunt for the corresponding performance data buried in a spreadsheet. Instead, I opened Everyday's AI-DAM (Digital Asset Manager), typed the prompt 'final deck and Q2 campaign data,' and then got a tagged, ranked, and summarized list of every relevant file. I clicked one, and the AI agent offered a Tl;dr and surfaced related comments from the team. I had what I needed in three minutes. THREE MINUTES, PEOPLE!! Setup is not for the faint of heart Getting Everyday up and running takes about 5 minutes. You need to link your apps and authenticate them. The good news? You only do it once, and the payoff is worth it. I then took about 20 minutes on a Sunday evening to link Everyday to our internal tools and guide the AI through some common tasks like, 'pull the latest design reviews,' or 'summarize sales activity this week.' It's a labor of love and like with any other AI tool, the more you put into it the more you will get out. By Tuesday, my work day was changed forever. The interface is sleek, but the magic is in what you don't see: the AI agent can search, plan, and take actions for you. The real game-changer: delegation Everyday let me delegate multi-step workflows. I tested this with a campaign post-mortem: gather data, find feedback, draft summary, circulate to stakeholders. I outlined the task once, and the AI agent pulled relevant performance data, scanned Slack for feedback, and assembled a doc that was 80% done before I even touched it. This isn't about replacing people, it's about reclaiming hours. I still edit, approve, and lead. I'm no longer stuck in the mud of low-leverage tasks that zap momentum. That's the dream, right? Is it worth it? In short, absolutely. Everyday isn't magic. It's early days, and occasionally, like all AI tools, you get a hiccup here and there. However, it learns fast. And more importantly, it reshapes your relationship to work. You stop thinking in terms of 'apps' and start thinking in terms of 'outcomes.' For creative professionals, marketing teams, or media orgs juggling dozens of tools and touch points, Everyday delivers something rare: clarity. I caught up with Founder and CEO Jake Kaempf to give him some feedback, but also to thank him for the product. This is what he said, 'We're fighting a war against busy work and tab-switching. We believe that creativity and critical thinking are the core pillars of humanity, yet today's tech stacks waste people's time, passion, and money. Everyday flips the paradigm — freeing people to focus on what matters.' My days at 4 p.m. look different. No chaos, no retroactive detective work. Just a clean summary of the day or week, already waiting for me. And today? I can enjoy getting home at a decent hour to hang with my family and enjoy an at-home happy hour. Cheers to reclaiming my afternoons.

F1 review: A predictable but thrilling sports drama
F1: A predictable but thrilling sports drama Score Details 'F1 races to the finish line in a blaze of glory, but it takes a road that's all too familiar.' Pros Terrific performances Thrilling action Stunning cinematography Great score and soundtrack Cons Formulaic story Flat characters 'Why you can trust Digital Trends – We have a 20-year history of testing, reviewing, and rating products, services and apps to help you make a sound buying decision. Find out more about how we test and score products.' Actor Brad Pitt has raced back into cinemas with his latest film, F1. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, who previously helmed Top Gun: Maverick, this sports drama follows veteran racer Sonny Hayes (Pitt) when he is called upon by his old rival (Javier Bardem) to return to Formula One racing to partner up with a young rookie, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), in the last few races of the season. Recommended Videos After taking on the world of aerial combat, Kosinski brings his distinctive brand of cinematic flair to this depiction of competitive racing. Naturally, this makes for another captivating, blood-pumping blockbuster achievement. Though it seems to have left a better story in the rearview mirror, F1 makes up for it with a bevy of charismatic performances, engrossing visuals, and stirring moments. The story runs a familiar track with mixed results F1's opening scene hooks its viewer with its introduction of the laid-back Sonny and his dazzling first race. This presents enough thrills and mystery to leave audiences wanting to see more of his character and learn more about him in the coming attractions. But beyond that, F1 presents a predictable story of an aged athlete, described in the film as 'the greatest who never was,' as he tries to educate a younger protégé and regain his former glory. It's essentially Top Gun: Maverick with race cars, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Though the story of F1 is familiar, it still presents the right amount of severe character drama and lighthearted quips between Sonny, Joshua, and their teammates to make this an enjoyable summer blockbuster. Nevertheless, the script could ease up on the amount of expositional, on-the-nose dialogue, as journalists and news personalities fill the audience in on the story with heavy-handed commentary with very little subtlety. Also, F1's story seems to brush past the challenges that the characters face, such as forged legal documents, Sonny's vision problems, and his post-traumatic stress, without much difficulty or consequence. Despite its potholes, F1 features plenty of emotional and even inspiring moments that fit well in the sports film genre, particularly that fiery crash scene and Sonny's climactic 'flight' to the finish line. Overall, F1 presents a fun story with a decent amount of tension. However, the film struggles to ground itself in reality. Traditional characters with compelling actors In F1, Sonny Hayes is a cocky, loose-cannon racing veteran who doesn't play by the rules, similar to Tom Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick. Meanwhile, Joshua Pearce is Sonny's younger, equally arrogant partner, who's desperate to prove himself and reach the top, which naturally leads to friction between the two. While this is the kind of dynamic seen between Maverick and Rooster in Top Gun: Maverick, Sonny and Joshua lack any prior history together to make their conflict more engaging. Instead, their relationship is more of a clash of like-minded egos, and the film doesn't spend enough time dissecting them and their backstories to make their characters feel true and unique. Likewise, Sonny and Joshua's development feels rushed at times. Though the latter experiences the most growth in the film and follows Sonny's example, his character presents so much more dramatic potential. Joshua talks about having to climb out from nothing to become the famed racer he is today, which could say a lot about the state of modern athletes. Instead, the film fails to expand upon his character to make him seem especially distinctive or relevant. Likewise, Sonny is presented as a divorced husband and father coping with a gambling addiction and a traumatic racing accident, and there are some nuances to his character aching to be unlocked. However, F1 seems to speed past all that without adding anything fresh and captivating to his character. Pitt at least touts his trademark charisma in the role of Sonny, making his jerk of a character a lovable, entertaining presence in the film. At the same time, many members of the film's supporting cast shine just as brightly as Pitt. Idris brings the right balance of solemn intensity and cocky swagger as Joshua. Javier Bardem brings plenty of drama and humor as Sonny's friend and struggling new boss, Ruben Cervantes. Kerry Condon, in particular, wins with her performance as Sonny's tech director/love interest, Kate McKenna, sharing palpable chemistry with Pitt. Her character also stands out for the way she keeps her team together, arguably making her the movie's secret weapon. Stunning action and visuals Like with the pilots in Top Gun: Maverick, Kosinski places viewers right in the driver's seat with the drivers as they battle each other with their cars like the chariot riders in Ben-Hur. This film immerses its audience thanks to the thrilling, up-close camerawork of the racers and their vehicles by Oscar-winning cinematographer Claudio Miranda (who also worked on Top Gun: Maverick). The panning shots filmed atop the moving cars are among the film's most distinctive visual achievements, giving viewers a heart-pounding view of all the excitement. F1 keeps up the intensity with super-swift editing courtesy of Stephen Mirrione, jumping from one character to another, from inside the cars to outside on the sidelines. The movie hardly gives its audience the time to breathe with its breakneck depiction of Formula One racing, making it all the more gripping. The thrills and emotion are also elevated by an excellent soundtrack and original musical score from the ever-reliable Hans Zimmer. Is F1 worth a watch? For those looking for an eye-catching, heart-pounding underdog story to enjoy in theaters this summer, F1 is the right choice. Kosinski's movie doesn't add that much depth or innovation in terms of storytelling, but it is still a sight to behold. F1 is a cinematic roller coaster from start to finish, with the film making up for its shortcomings with compelling performances from the cast and immersive action. F1 is now in theaters.
