Nexel

What is Nexel?

Nexel is a workflow automation tool that uses AI to handle repetitive tasks. It works as a digital assistant for activities such as summarizing text, running web searches, and generating reports, and it integrates with apps including Gmail, LinkedIn, Asana, and GitHub.

Key capabilities include:

• Company research: Research companies directly in Google Sheets, and Nexel compiles and emails a summary of its findings.
• Calendar digests: Receive daily summaries of your calendar events in a Slack channel.
• Content curation: Sift through Hacker News posts and get summaries on topics such as AI, open-source projects, or technical leadership.
• Video tracking: Follow new YouTube videos from channels you choose and receive an email with each video’s title, link, and a summary.
• Data import: Import data from files, websites, and databases.

Nexel is designed to be usable regardless of technical background. Its AI features include text-to-speech conversion, video and text summarization, and web search, with an emphasis on data security and transparent measures.

Two caveats: Nexel is not free, and the team has not detailed how it differs from tools like ChatGPT. You can join a waitlist to learn more and try it.
