I used an AI browser for work. My afternoons became boring and I loved it

Digital Trends8 hours ago

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.

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.

Trump wants Canada's digital services tax gone before trade talks resume

U.S. President Donald Trump says he's ending all trade discussions with Canada to hit back at Ottawa for slapping a tax on web giants — and he wants it removed before negotiations can begin again. Canada and the U.S. have been locked in talks to get Trump to lift his punishing tariffs on Canadian goods, levies that have already led to major economic dislocations, job losses and a drop in southbound exports. Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney agreed at the G7 last week to reach some agreement on the trade dispute within 30 days. Speaking in the Oval Office on Friday afternoon, Trump said the U.S. has "such power over Canada," and that he's upset the country is following a taxation strategy similar to Europe's. "It's not going to work out well for Canada. They were foolish to do it," he said of imposing the DST, which was passed into law last year with a delayed application."We're going to stop all negotiations with Canada right now until they straighten out their act," he said. Asked if there's anything Canada can do to appease him, Trump said Ottawa could remove the tax. "They will," he said. "They do most of their business with us. When you have that circumstance, you treat people better." Earlier Friday, Trump posted on social media he may impose some sort of blanket tariff on Canadian goods as retribution for the DST, which will primarily hit U.S. firms since it targets only the biggest earners. Speaking briefly to reporters before Trump's Oval Office comments, Carney said he hadn't talked with Trump that day. "We'll continue to conduct these complex negotiations in the best interest of Canadians," Carney said. He did not address a reporter's question about whether his government is prepared to drop the DST — something the Business Council of Canada is calling on Ottawa to do in exchange for U.S. tariff relief. Set to take effect on June 30, the DST would have U.S. companies like Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber and Airbnb pay a three per cent levy on revenue from Canadian users. The policy will apply retroactively, leaving U.S. companies with a $2-billion US bill due at the end of the month. These global digital firms are often able to skirt paying taxes in the countries where they operate, and the last Liberal government pitched the DST as a way to bring the tax code up to date and capture revenues earned in Canada by firms located abroad. U.S. long opposed DST It's been a bone of contention between Canada and the U.S. for years, with former president Joe Biden's ambassador to Canada warning during his tenure that, if a DST was enacted, the U.S. would hit back. While Canada and other Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries had been discussing some sort of global DST, the Trudeau government decided to move ahead with its own tax rather than wait for co-ordinated action. Carney's finance minister, François-Philippe Champagne, said last week Ottawa planned to enact the tax even while negotiations with Trump are ongoing. That's what's prompted the president's ire. "We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult Country to TRADE with, including the fact that they have charged our Farmers as much as 400% Tariffs, for years, on Dairy Products, has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country," Trump said. WATCH | Foreign Affairs minister on the trade war: As he has done in the past, Trump mischaracterized Canada's tariff regime on U.S. dairy products. The high tariff rates Trump frequently cites are only applied if U.S. exports exceed a set "tariff-rate quota," something that has never happened. Trump's own Department of Agriculture noted earlier this year that almost all agricultural products traded between the United States and Canada are free of tariffs. In an interview with CBC's Power & Politics, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said supply management, which places limits on certain products, including dairy, to ensure stable prices, is a "cornerstone" Canadian economic policy that is "extremely important." Anand said that despite Trump's threats, Canada will push ahead with trying to broker a deal that's in the best interest of workers and businesses, "while at the same time ensuring we diversify our supply chains so we are never again dependent on one economy." She touted the New EU-Canada Strategic Partnership of the Future that Carney brokered with the European Union earlier this week. Trump's abrupt decision to call off negotiations may have caught Canadian officials off guard. Speaking to CBC Radio's The House hours before Trump's post, Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc said Canada's negotiators "continue to be optimistic about the constructive tone" between the two countries. Still, Candace Laing, president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, said there have been signs the "tone and tenor of talks has improved in recent months." Trump and Carney have had two friendly meetings in that time, and she hopes to see "progress continue" despite Trump's apparent attempt to derail the talks. "Negotiations go through peaks and valleys. With deadlines approaching, some last-minute surprises should be expected," Laing said.

3 Key Factors That Make AT&T (T) a Top Pick for 2025

AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) is one of the Best Stocks to Buy for Dividends. Ken Wolter / In recent years, the company has moved away from non-core businesses such as DirecTV and Time Warner, refocusing on its core operations in wireless and fiber connectivity. This renewed focus allows the company to better meet growing customer expectations for faster and more dependable service. As a result, profit margins have improved, cash flow has shown consistent growth, and the company has reduced its debt by $45 billion since John Stankey became CEO in July 2020. Secondly, AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) typically competes in a limited field, mainly with Verizon and T-Mobile in wireless, and smaller regional players in cable. With few rivals able to match its scale, the company benefits from long-term stability. Its continued investment in fiber strengthens this advantage. As telecom remains essential to daily life, AT&T is well-positioned for lasting success through 2030 and beyond. In addition, AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) maintains a solid cash position, providing enough support for its dividend payments. Over the past twelve months, the company generated $40.2 billion in operating cash flow and $14.4 billion in levered free cash flow. Although investors may hope for higher free cash flow to cover capital spending, reduce debt, or raise dividends, the current levels are sufficient to maintain the company's existing dividend. AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) currently offers a quarterly dividend of $0.2775 per share and has a dividend yield of 3.98%, as of June 25. While we acknowledge the potential of T as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.
