'It Changed My Life': Tim Cook, Mark Cuban And Bill Gates Reveal Their Top AI Productivity Hacks

Leading tech executives are talking about how artificial intelligence tools have transformed their daily productivity routines, revealing the practical applications of AI tech for business efficiency.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said he's seen improvements in email management through AI summarization tools. Previously reading an inbox of 800 daily emails, Cook told the Wall Street Journal last month that he now uses Apple Intelligence’s summary feature to streamline his morning routine.

“It’s changed my life. It really has,” Cook said. “If I can save time here and there, it adds up to something significant across a day, a week, a month.”

Mark Cuban, who similarly deals with thousands of daily emails, is using Google’s Gemini AI assistant to automate routine responses. “It’s reduced the need for me to write out routine replies,” Cuban said to CNBC. “I can spend 30 seconds evaluating its response and hit ‘send’ versus typing it all out myself.”

Bill Gates has embraced AI for meeting documentation. Despite his preference for handwritten notes, Gates now relies on AI transcription and summary features integrated into Microsoft Teams. “The ability to interact and not just get the summary, but ask questions about the meeting, is pretty fantastic,” Gates told The Verge.

His adoption reflects broader industry acceptance, with Gartner reporting that 75% of CEOs across industries have experimented with AI tools and 87% believe the benefits outweigh potential risks.

For Cook, AI integration is more than convenience. He places Apple Intelligence among the company’s highest innovations, comparable to the iPhone’s touch interface. “I think we’ll look back and it will be one of these air pockets that happened to get you on a different technology curve,” he told the WSJ.

Cuban uses AI’s utility beyond business, telling CNBC it is a tool to help review his children’s homework assignments. Starting his day between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m., Cook combines AI tools with traditional productivity methods, reviewing overnight sales reports alongside his AI-summarized emails.

While Cook and Gates naturally discuss their companies’ proprietary tools, the market offers numerous alternatives for email management and meeting documentation, making similar efficiency gains accessible across organizations.

Still, their experiences suggest that AI adoption for routine tasks can create time savings when used correctly.

The trend suggests AI’s role in business is evolving from experimental tech to essential productivity tools, with leaders actively integrating the solutions into their daily routines.
