Most-used apps on Rambox in September
First, we present the top 15 apps most used by Rambox users based on statistical and impersonal data.
These are the digital frontrunners that shaped our users’ workflows this month.
How has the Rambox Ranking changed in the last month?
September kept the Rambox leaderboard looking steady at the top, but there were some fun twists further down the list. WhatsApp is still untouchable at #1, with Gmail and Telegram holding firm in second and third place.
WhatsApp Business continues to shine in fourth, while Google Calendar keeps things organized at #5. Google Sheets and Google Docs are still side by side at sixth and seventh, and Instagram stays loyal in its #8 spot.
The first shift comes right after: Facebook climbs up to ninth, swapping places with Messenger, which drops to tenth. ChatGPT is the real star this month, jumping three spots to #11. Teams, Discord, and Slack each slide down a notch to make room, now sitting at #12, #13, and #14. Google Messages rounds out the list at #15.
So while the top half of the ranking is as solid as ever, the bottom half is definitely shaking things up. ChatGPT’s rise makes one thing clear — more people are leaning on AI to get their everyday work done faster.
AI tools are taking over — here’s how to make the most of them
ChatGPT’s jump in the ranking shows how fast AI is moving from ‘cool tool’ to everyday must-have. It’s the most popular app, but not the only one worth knowing. There are other AI tools that can be just as useful, and you might not have tried them yet.
In this section, we’ll look at some of these alternatives and why they can make a difference in your daily tasks. And the best part: you can add them all to Rambox.
Natural Language & Productivity Assistants
These are the AI apps most people think of first — tools that help you write, answer questions, and organize ideas in seconds. But ChatGPT is not the only option in this space — there are alternatives you may not know. Below is a table with natural language AI tools you might not have tried, and what makes them different (or complementary) to ChatGPT:
| AI Tool | What it is & what it does | What makes it different (vs. ChatGPT) |
| Claude AI | Conversational AI trained to handle long-form content, summarization, and detailed responses. | Tends to perform well with structured responses and longer context. |
| Gemini | Google’s AI model, often integrated with Google services. | Better synergy with Google Docs, Gmail, etc. (especially if you live in that ecosystem). |
| Microsoft Copilot | AI assistant built into Microsoft 365 apps like Word, Excel, Outlook. | Works natively within those Microsoft tools—less friction switching between apps. |
| Le Chat | Multilingual conversational AI, more casual style. | Good for switching languages, more relaxed tone. |
| Merlin | AI assistant often used as a browser extension for summarizing, rewriting, etc. | Can act over web content you’re viewing, giving contextual help. |
| Poe | Platform where you can chat with different AI models in one interface. | Allows you to try multiple models from one place. |
| Thinkbuddy | Productivity-oriented AI, often with shortcut support and model switching. | Brings multiple models together and streamlines access. |
These assistants are perfect if you want to speed up repetitive tasks, draft better content, or simply have a smarter way to handle your daily workload.
Research & Knowledge Tools
These AI apps are all about making your life easier when you need to look up information, organize research, or turn endless data into something you can actually use. If you spend hours searching the web, reading reports, or studying, these tools can save you a ton of time.
DeepSeek
DeepSeek is like having a personal analyst. You can throw complex questions at it, and it digs through tons of data to give you clear answers. Super useful if you work with reports, need to spot patterns, or just want quick insights without going through endless pages yourself. Great for researchers, analysts, and anyone who wants more depth than a regular search.
Felo
Think of Felo as a smarter search engine. Instead of giving you a list of links, it gives you direct, relevant answers. Perfect if you’re tired of clicking around Google to find what you need. Students, journalists, or anyone who relies on fast and accurate info will love it.
Liner
Liner is all about staying organized while you read online. You can highlight important text, save it, and let the AI recommend related content. It’s like having a digital notebook that also helps you discover more on the same topic. Great if you’re constantly reading articles, papers, or blogs and don’t want to lose track.
NotebookLM
NotebookLM is Google’s tool that lets you upload your own documents (PDFs, notes, etc.) and then ask the AI questions about them. Instead of scrolling through a 50-page report, you can just ask, “What are the key points in section 3?” Super handy for students, consultants, or anyone dealing with big files.
Perplexity
Perplexity is like an AI researcher that always shows its homework. It gives you answers but also shows the sources, so you know where the info comes from. Great for people who need trustworthy data, like academics, marketers, or anyone who wants to double-check facts.
Creativity & Content Generation
These AI tools are made to help you create — whether it’s images, music, or fresh ideas for your projects. They’re not just for designers or musicians: anyone can use them to bring ideas to life faster and with less effort.
Midjourney
Midjourney is one of the most popular AI image generators. You type what you imagine, and it creates visuals for you — from realistic photos to artistic illustrations. Perfect if you need quick visuals for a presentation, social media post, or just want to explore your creativity.
Soundraw
Soundraw helps you generate original music tracks in minutes. You can set the mood, genre, or length, and it composes something unique. Super useful for content creators, YouTubers, or anyone who needs background music without dealing with copyright issues.
Scira
Scira focuses on creative visual content. It’s designed to give you images, graphics, or design elements that you can tweak and use in your projects. Great for marketers, small business owners, or anyone who wants eye-catching visuals without hiring a designer.
Lumo
Lumo shows up as a creative edge. It can help you brainstorm ideas for campaigns, write prompts for art, or even guide you through storytelling exercises. Perfect if you need fresh inspiration or want to think outside the box.
AI isn’t a sidekick anymore — it’s becoming the go-to helper for writing, researching, or even creating content. Whatever you’re working on, there’s probably an AI that can make it easier.
You can find all these tools directly in Rambox. Just add a new app, head to the Artificial Intelligence category, and bring your favorites into your workspace to keep them right where you need them.
Why use these apps in Rambox?
Exploring AI assistants, research tools, or creative generators is great — but having them spread across different tabs can quickly become messy. By adding these apps to Rambox, you can keep everything in a single workspace: no more switching tabs or losing focus. You choose how to organize them and how to group them.
💡 Here are some tips.
With Rambox Workspaces, you can set up a dedicated space just for your AI apps if you like to keep them all together. Or, if it’s easier, you can mix them with other tools. For example, if you’re a community manager, you can build a workspace with all your social networks and management apps, and add an AI assistant to help you write posts and reply to comments.
And it doesn’t stop there. Besides grouping your AI apps as you want, you can also decide how they’re displayed on your screen. With Tiles, you can split your workspace vertically or horizontally and keep several apps open side by side. At a glance, you’ll have the latest information without jumping around.
Imagine preparing a monthly data presentation: you could have Canva on one side to design your slides and Claude AI on the other, helping you process and interpret the data before turning it into visuals. It’s a simple way to save time and keep everything flowing.
