User found that using multiple AI tools in separate tabs caused fragmentation in their workflow. They suggest integrating AI directly into the text boxes of various applications to streamline the process, as they experienced improved productivity with Clico, a Chrome extension that does this.
spent years obsessing over the physical stuff. right cafe, right chair, right noise-cancelling, fastest wifi speed in the city. got all of that sorted. still found myself hitting walls in some sessions for reasons i couldn't explain. started paying attention to what was actually happening in those sessions. it was almost always the same: browser with 15-20 tabs open, half of them AI conversations i'd started for some task and abandoned. constant switching between where i was working and where i was going for help. fixing the physical environment helped a bit. fixing the browser environment helped a lot. biggest single change was Clico, which is a free Chrome extension that puts AI inside whatever text box you're working in. no new tab, no abandoned conversation thread. hit the shortcut and the help is right there. works in gmail, notion, slack, everywhere. went from 15-20 tabs to 3-4. sessions feel more contained. the mental overhead of managing the browser went down more than i expected. has anyone else found that their digital environment matters more than the physical one? feels like an underrated thing to optimize.
