The 2024 Docker AI Trends Report has a good perspective from software developers on current and future AI Tools. Docker is a common open source tool for developing and running software applications.

Sometimes it's also good to get a hands on and specific view of what tools currently make sense to use. This blog post has a list of 14 AI tools that the author feels software developers should currently consider as productivity tools.

One category of tools that software developers have found useful are meeting assistants which provide transcription, organization, summaries and analysis of various meetings. Of course software developers aren't the only ones that can make use of these tools. Zapier, the integration software company, has analyzed many of the currently available meeting tools and assessed their plusses and minuses. This is a good overview of the kind of functionality available today.

Another perspective on AI meeting assistants is the impact they can have on team communication. Do they stifle participation? Encourage participation? Change the power dynamics of team meetins? This Harvard Business Review article provides some interesting perspectives on these types of tools that are applicable in all environments.

One thing is clear, AI tools are and will continue to change software development.
