Your New Ops Assistant Is Already Here
⚡ The Shift: From AI Hype to Real Ops Helpers
While most teams are still waiting for AI agents to become “smart enough,” forward-thinking ops pros are already deploying AI assistants to handle real work.
This isn’t some future dream — with tools like Bardeen, Levity, Tiledesk, and ChatGPT + Sheets, you can build your first digital coworker this week.
🛠️ Tool 1: Bardeen – Automate Tasks Right From Your Browser
Forget copy-paste. Bardeen lets you trigger automations on the fly — pulling info from your screen, your tabs, and your apps.
Use it for:
Auto-creating Asana/Notion tasks from support emails
Scraping lead info from LinkedIn
Updating spreadsheets based on CRM changes
No code needed. Just drag, drop, and launch.

🧠 Tool 2: Levity – Train AI on Your Ops Data
Levity helps you build AI that learns from your actual workflow data: emails, forms, claims, images.
Use it for:
Automatically tagging or triaging support tickets
Sorting internal docs or spreadsheets
Detecting edge cases in claims or reports
You don’t need data scientists — you need 15 labeled examples.

💬 Tool 3: Tiledesk – GPT-Powered Chatbot for Ops & Support
Tiledesk connects GPT-powered bots to your ops stack: Helpdesk, Slack, CRMs.
Use it for:
First-line support automation
Internal request routing (e.g., “Where’s the PTO policy?”)
Qualifying leads before a human jumps in
Easy to build, and even easier to scale.

📈 Tool 4: ChatGPT + Google Sheets – Your Smart Spreadsheet Analyst
Google Sheets becomes a force multiplier when you combine it with GPT.
Use it for:
Weekly ops report summaries
Data cleanup and normalization
Writing formulas and finding anomalies
With the right plugin, you can turn GPT into your spreadsheet sidekick.
