AskIAM is scary good

In 1969, we landed on the moon with computers weaker than a pocket calculator.

Today, your phone runs models smarter than astronauts' guidance systems.

Crazy, right?

In today’s post:

• IBM: AskIAM makes the identify access easier

• Hume AI can help you clone your voice without code

• Logically app is here to automate all tasks for you

• Trending AI tools + AI automation guide

What’s Trending Today

Breakthrough

AskIAM is like ChatGPT for your access requests

IBM just launched AskIAM, a new generative AI tool designed to modernize identity and access management (IAM). It’s built to cut down friction, reduce risk, and bring automation to a space long overdue for an upgrade.

Here’s everything you need to know:

• AskIAM lives inside IBM’s Consulting Advantage platform and is managed by their cybersecurity experts.

• It helps users request access, provision identities, and navigate IAM systems through Slack or Teams.

• The AI assistant reduces delays by automating approvals and surfacing real-time guidance.

• It also audits your IAM setup analyzing old scripts and misconfigured workflows to flag risks.

• AskIAM supports migrations from legacy platforms like SAP IdM and CA IAM to modern tools.

• Its architecture is open, meaning it works with Microsoft Entra, Saviynt, CyberArk, and more.

• And it’s built on watsonx Assistant, so it can evolve with your data, policies, and tech stack.

Here’s what I think:

IAM is one of those areas everyone agrees needs modernization, but no one wants to touch. AskIAM could change that not by replacing humans, but by making it less painful for everyone involved. If this works as intended, it might set a new standard for how identity gets managed in large, complex environments.

All-in-one tool

One AI tool to rule all your research

Logically (formerly Afforai) blends writing and research into one unified AI platform. It's like using ChatGPT, NotebookLM, and Perplexity; but all in one place.

Here’s everything you need to know about this:

• Logically combines document writing, source tagging, and AI powered research in a single interface.

• You can upload your own sources or pull from 200M peer-reviewed papers via Semantic Scholar.

• A built-in chatbot uses GPT-4o, Gemini, or Claude 3.5 for responsive, citation-backed answers.

• It automatically handles citation formatting and bibliography creation as you write. You can filter chatbot responses to only draw from your uploaded sources.

• Tag sources, organize ideas, and keep everything inside the same document environment.

• It’s ideal for academic researchers, PhDs, or anyone working on longform, reference-heavy projects.

Here’s what I think:

Logically doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel; it just puts the best parts of AI research and writing tools in one smart workspace. If you live in citations and source material, it might be the most practical AI tool you haven’t tried yet.

Voice cloning

Create your own AI voice without coding

Hume’s new voice AI, EVI 3, gives anyone the ability to create expressive, human-like voices all by having a conversation. It’s fast, free to try, and surprisingly fun.

Here’s everything you need to know:

• Hume uses a voice-to-voice model that responds to your emotions in real-time.

• You describe the voice you want tone, mood, accent, attitude and it builds from there.

• Everything happens verbally, so you'll need to speak to the system (and a mic).

• Don’t wait for prompts you can interrupt and steer the voice's personality as you go.

• Once Hume has enough, it generates a custom voice and drops you into a chat to test it.

• You can fine-tune by liking, disliking, or retrying voices until one feels right.

• Save the voice to your account and keep using it or start again with a new style.

Here’s what I think:

The best part of Hume isn’t just that you can build your own voice it’s that the process itself feels like you're co-creating with a character. Most AI feels static. This feels dynamic. If voice AI is heading anywhere, this is a pretty compelling direction.
