Most people aren't short on tools. They're short on time. Between the emails that need drafting, the meetings that need summarizing, the documents that need reviewing, and the tasks that need following up on, a huge chunk of the day goes to work that sits around the actual work.
That layer: the organizing, the formatting, the translating, the responding, is exactly what AI is good at. And it's exactly what IFTTT's AI services are built to handle.
IFTTT connects to over 1000 apps and services, and we've built over 10 AI-powered services specifically designed to take the busywork off your plate. Whether it's drafting a response, summarizing a doc, or keeping your tools in sync, they take care of the repeat tasks so you can spend your time on the work that matters.

The use cases vary a lot depending on how you work: some people use them for content, others for communication, others just to get through their inbox faster. Here are a few of the most common ways people are putting them to work.
The same idea shouldn't take all afternoon
You had a good idea. You wrote it down. Now you have to shrink it for X (Twitter), rework the tone for LinkedIn, flesh it out into a full blog post, and pull the highlights for a newsletter blurb. By the time you're done, the original idea feels stale and you've spent your whole day reformatting instead of creating.
The AI Social Creator and AI Content Creator handle the translation between formats so you don't have to. Write a new blog post and a tweet drafts itself. Drop an idea into your Note widget and a full Google Docs outline is waiting when you're ready to write. The thinking is still yours. The reformatting isn't.

Staying active on every platform is a full-time job
And you already have one of those.
Keeping up a consistent presence across X, LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube is one of those things that sounds manageable until you're actually doing it. The same idea needs to be a thread, then a thought piece, then a caption, then a script, and by the third version you've lost the will to post any of them.
The AI Twitter Assistant, AI LinkedIn Assistant, AI Facebook Assistant, and AI YouTube Assistant each know what works on their platform. An Instagram post becomes a properly formatted LinkedIn update. A Twitch stream gets a tweet the moment you go live. An email idea turns into a YouTube script outline. You stay consistent without having to be everywhere at once.

The reading list you never actually read
You've got a reading list. It is not getting shorter. Between the newsletters, the RSS feeds, and the meeting notes from last Tuesday that are somehow already three pages long, keeping up with information is its own job.
The AI Summarizer does the reading so you don't have to. New post in your RSS feed? You get the key points delivered to your inbox instead of another tab to ignore. Meeting notes in Google Docs? It pulls out what actually matters so key decisions and action items are easy to spot. You stay across things without having to read everything.
Connect the AI you already trust
You probably already have a favorite. IFTTT connects to Claude, ChatGPT, and DeepSeek, so whichever one you're already using, you can plug it directly into your workflows without switching tools or learning something new.
Tag an email and get a draft reply back. Ask a question from your Note widget and get a notification with the answer. Have new RSS articles summarized and sent to your inbox.

Video, PDFs, and everything in between
Most automation tools stop at words. Gemini doesn't. It can look at a PDF and pull out an executive summary. It can watch a YouTube video and tell you what's in it. It can analyze a photo and give you a written response, all triggered automatically.
So if your workflow involves documents, images, or video, and not just text, Gemini is the one to connect. New PDF comes through? Get a summary in your inbox. New YouTube video from a channel you follow? Have Gemini break it down for you before you even press play.

The replies you keep putting off
Most people have a small pile of emails they're avoiding, not because they don't know what to say, but because sitting down to say it feels like a whole thing. Or there's a question you need answered before you can move on, and it keeps getting bumped.
AI Prompt is built for exactly this kind of friction. Tag an email and get a draft reply waiting for you. Jot a quick question in your Note widget and get the answer back as a notification. It works with whatever trigger you already have, so instead of context-switching every time something needs a response, the response just shows up.

Already using an AI assistant? Take it further with IFTTT MCP
Applets are one way to automate with AI. But if you're already spending time in Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor, there's another option: IFTTT MCP.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets your AI assistant connect directly to your IFTTT services and actually take action in them, not just tell you what to do, but do it. Describe what you want in plain language, and your assistant handles the rest across any of the 1000+ services IFTTT is connected to. It's the difference between your AI giving you a to-do list and your AI completing the list.
Want to dig in? Start here:
Pick your starting point
You don't need to set up everything today. Think about the task in your workflow you do over and over, the one you keep wishing would just handle itself, and start there. Most of these Applets take under two minutes to connect.
Try IFTTT Pro+ free and see how it feels when that one thing stops being your problem.
