I've tested thousands of AI tools and now I'm going to show you 100 best from Simple Text editors to full-blown coding apps starting with General writing tools for General allpurpose writing with super simple prompts I'd say go with Chad gbt they just updated it to version 4.5 and we've got an awesome prompting guide for it it also works with images data analysis coding and other fancy stuff but keep in mind you'll probably need a subscription yeah monthly fees right for slightly fewer features but better search accuracy and sometimes even more creative writing I'd give Google
Gemini 2 a try it can pretty much do what Chad GPT does but it's free the trade-off is its reasoning skills aren't always quite as sharp every tool out there charges you for advanced reasoning except deep seek you can run it locally on your own computer and it reasons about as well as the 01 model just without Vision on the plus side you can upload data files into deep seek which o1 won't let you do as a balanced option I'd check out Claude 3.7 it just got an update and now it has great hybrid reasoning
solid accuracy a low chance of making stuff up plus it supports Vision prompting can be a bit tricky though so make sure you watch our full guide we also have a g Academy course on claud's prompts download it and you can study at your own pace if you want to add some excitement to your AI routine be a bit different try Gro 3 Elon musk's newest AI is on the same level as Chad gbt's latest models it can reason generate images analyze data do searches the whole nine yards all these tools can crank out as
much text as you want but sometimes you need that extra spark of creativity and control that's when I switched to Jasper it's fine-tuned for marketing content and CHS out results that really sound human for product descriptions where you want a personal feel I like copy AI it's super creative knows how to be persuasive and can dig up unique selling points for you without much input it's tough to call Copy AI a real check GPT competitor but I think copy Smith beats it in one area e-commerce writing copy Smith is practically a whole toolkit focused on
online sales product descriptions research optimizing articles all that good stuff if you'd rather dabble in creative writing with easy controls there's text effects it's more of a fun experiment than a hardcore writing toll but it's awesome if you just want to play around with words of course all these options require jumping into a separate website which is why I usually run word tun in the background it works in Gmail Facebook and crucially in Google Docs it fixes my spelling and scripts helps me rewrite bits and pieces and just makes life a little simpler text generation
can be not only prom based I have videos that would be great as blog posts so I can use video to blog to transform them they are sponsoring this video and it's literally the number one video to text converter here's how it all works I just paste a YouTube link to my video and with just one click the toll generates a clean ready to publish blog article not only is it fast but the output quality is impressive the whole setup was incredibly simple no credit card needed so I was able to jump right in and
start testing what's cool is that it doesn't limit you to just YouTube videos you can upload any video file with spoken audio and the toll works with it just as well plus your Target and international audiences it's multilingual support and 30 plus languages is really useful also there is built-in SEO optimization automatic visuals like screenshots or AI generate images I can also turn on Automation and every new video I upload will be instantly transformed into blog article if you post videos often this saves a ton of time I really like this toll during my testing
and people on G2 and Trust Pilots seem to agree with me try video to blog AI now no credit card required click the link in the description to start converting your videos into powerful blog articles the next type of AI tools is image generation starting with the easiest AI to prompt and honestly the one with the most predictable results dially 3 it's basically in dire need of an update but as a quick add-on for Chad gbt it does an okay job for fast simple image creation just don't expect miracles with text generation here it's pretty
middling most of the images you see on GE Academy that have text in them actually come from mid Journey its text handling is far more accurate Plus gives you real options for size orientation and all that good stuff and if you're into photo realism mid Journey Nails it every time it even gets Anatomy right no more weird extra fingers the subscription might feel like a buzzkill but if you want to avoid that you can always go the local route stability AI AKA stable diffusion has been ruling the scene for a couple of years now for
good reason it's accurate reliable and completely free new free competitors are popping up left and right though take flux one for instance basically the same idea a but with text to video thrown in it's a cool way to sharpen your AI skills if you ask me that said flux one struggles with text so for fancy lettering or custom fonts Adobe Express is a more solid option it also lets you remove objects from photos gives you plenty of style controls and just makes the whole generation process super user friendly for everyday image needs we also have
an image generator built right into G Academy is for our members and work similarly to Mid Journey just jump into our AI art studio type Cas imagine followed by your prompt and voila being a member also gets you access to tons of Education materials prompting guides toll collections audio commentary PDF guides you name it we're creating a whole video series to teach AI basics in a simple no jargon way to we even have a built-in toll finder to match you with the perfect AI toll and we drop exclusive deals and popular AI tolls every week
those deals to low and save you more than it costs to join G Academy so go ahead click the Link in the description become a member and help us build the best AI Learning Hub ever some tools let you generate images from your own sketches cray a AI for instance I'll scribble something on the left feed it a prompt and it will match the layout from my sketch while filling in the details cray a AI won't turn your photos into videos though same goes for playground AI there's simpler tools mainly designed for basic generation but
they're dependable and easy to use perfect for folks who just want quick results without fuss which might describe our moms dads or boss is right and if they don't Vibe with that show them Leonardo AI it's nice and straightforward but it uses its own older model so sometimes you get really unexpected but also kind of cool images sometimes weird is wonderful moving on editing your images removing background upscaling Etc let's focus on the free stuff because honestly who wants another subscription for quick background removal I'd grab cutout throw it's straightforward produces decent results and there's
no subscription fee the catch you only get five credits to start once you run out you can just make a new account no biggie if you don't mind paying a bit for better background removal and integration with tools like canva or photoshop remove background is the way to go its algorithms are A step above and the price is pretty reasonable for free upscaling big jpeg does the trick it can double or quadruple your image resolution while boosting quality reliably the interface is simple and impossible to mess up hard to argue with free right for affordable
object removal try cleanup pictures does a solid job with end painting though the free version kepts you at 720p resolution good enough for blogs or social posts but if you're doing Pro level photography you might want a subscription that said the most impressive image editing tool I've tried is magnific AI the upscaling is insane it adds detail refines textures and basically fills in missing info so photos look like they were taken with a topof the line camera the downside the subscription cost can be a bit steep for everyday folks now with f pH is covered
it only seems appropriate to move on to video tools both generation editing and repurposing these ones are the tools I have used myself and some of them I still use pretty often Sora is still one of my go-to tools we actually put together a giant guide on it packed with tips prompts and other handy info the coolest thing about Sora is the quality of his output it really sticks to whatever prompt you give it and delivers top-notch results plus there's a neat storyline feature that's perfect for multi-step motion or more complex sequences Sora can be
pretty picky about prompts though sometimes you just need something super focused like videos about food or emotion generated by a model trained specifically on those topics hot shot works with that perfectly it offers nine different video types A userfriendly interface and a subscription that won't break the bank of course creativity matters in video generation maybe you want everything from nit vids to celebrity Clips hyper can do that and more it's similar to Sora but that sometimes struggles with fingers and moving objects so keep your expectations in check if you're trying to generate High action scenes
for simpler static scenes hyper is great but if you want to push the envelope try pabs it has this C Pika frames feature that morphs one image into another creating some wild transitions super Innovative and fun to play with generating videos isn't the only game in town you can edit them too my top choice for that is Runway ml this tool is amazing at sinking lips to audio removing backgrounds adding slow motion color grading you name it you can remove objects blur faces add depth of field effects it's basically a giant playground for video editing
Runway won't generate a full video for you from scratch though and nid is your best bet in this case it'll take one prompt and make an entire video complete with a storyline narration subtitles everything except music and that's pretty standard in AI made videos music usually isn't included clip Fleet is no exception but it can generate a full video with cuts and a voice over from your description and it also sprinkles in sound effects to make things more engaging if you do want music in your AI video you can only get it by recycling footage
that already had music in it fortunately repurposing is a breeze with video just droing a link and it'll transcribe the video pick out the good parts and spit out an edited version perfect for Tik Tok Instagram or shorts Opus Clips is another popular repurposing toll offering basically the same features picking between these tolls often comes down to how well they snip and trim your video the same goes for vizard iio though this one might need some getting used to so that it works best should we make a guide on vizard go to GE Academy and
vote in the sometimes though you'll want to do a few edits on your own like adding subtitles to that AI generated video that's where V IO comes in handy just use the auto subtitle feature or remove the background lock the eyes on the camera repurpose the footage whatever you need it's a solid all-around video editor and for that first pass of basic editing on your own videos cutting out long pauses trimming flubs and removing audio noise gling AI is my top pick I actually did a full breakdown of it on this channel so go check
out our faster video editing video if you want all the details this brings us nicely to YouTube tools where saving time is everything but not at the cost of creativity instead of coming through endless videos why not get a quick summary of their key points that's exactly what nopt does and you can even chat with the video to find topics worth exploring further I use it myself and it's a huge time saer when I'm feeling too lazy to post videos manually I turn to Taja AI it generates tags a description a neat list of chapters
suggests a title optimizes for search and even creates up some basic thumbnails they might not be breathtaking but hey at least the job's done sometimes though I like rolling up my sleeves and digging into SEO on my own that's where vid IQ comes in it's so good I can't keep quiet about it sure it does the usual key word research but it also has a fantastic idea suggestion system it's basically the Perfect Blend of AI and real world data but wait it gets better sure you can use chat GPT for your scripts but prompting can
be a pain subscriber on the other hand holds your hand through every step from Deep research to fine-tuning each piece of your script it does all the heavy lifting for titles descriptions hooks you name it all you have to do is pick what you like super easy and friendly though not free sadly if you decide to be a YouTuber or just make videos slightly faster you should really look into toes for generating avatars when it comes to Avatar generation hey Jen is hands down the top dog I just upload a few minutes of video footage
with me talking plus a short consent video and after it processes everything I'm good to go the quality is actually insane lip sync voice Clarity and even Zoom ins and zoom outs I can even upload my own voice over the downside is it's pretty pricey if you want to go Allin with serious large scale Avatar creation honestly AI avatars often feel a bit misleading most tools just animate a generic image and let you overlay it on presentations it's that very formal corporate Vibe the only other Avatar tools that actually do something interesting are usually more
for fun take deep fakes LOL for example it lets you swap faces in videos which is hilarious but doesn't necessarily make your workflow any easier it's just a fun gimmick if you're looking for serious deep fake results I'd suggest deep face lab it's open source and super customizable so you can pull off some pretty advanced stuff you won't quite get Hollywood level Irishman effects but it's still impressive for something you can run at home face swapping is probably the most common trick these Avatar tools have up their sleeve check out un boring for instance you
just upload your files wait a minute and boom your face is swapped the results are decently reliable and it throws in some extra bells and whistles to keep things interesting perfect for spicing up a video here and there there aren't many use cases for AI avatars however for Speed generators there is far too many just as there are far too many toasts that are worth your attention obviously the Top Dog in voice cloning is 11 Labs it doesn't just copy your voice it lets you find tune how every single part of each sentence sounds from
the intonation to the emphasis you could seriously spend hours filling with it at that point you might as well just record the audio yourself but if you're a control freak about your voice this is your dream come true if you want something simpler but still with great quality and ease of use check out my vocal AI I've tested it myself and found it perfect for anyone who's new to voice cloning sometimes the results need a bit of extra tweaking you can't do inside the tool but overall it's super handy listener AI is another solid Choice
I'm mostly just giving you options here they're all good in their own ways with tools like listener AI you really have to try them for yourself and see which one sounds best to you feature-wise they're pretty similar across the board need to boost your audio's overall quality or add some finer details maybe tweak it for streaming videos or production then switch to fine voice it takes under a minute to improve your audio's Clarity and it's totally worth it if you're a complete newbie with zero professional needs a simpler and more stripped down toll might be
what you're after murf AI it's super easy to use delivers great Voice output and doesn't overload you with extra features you might never touch anyway now murf doesn't have celebrity voices in its catalog which might be a deal breaker if you ever need to mimic your favorite star in that case fake you.com has you covered the quality is just okay and the selection of voices isn't massive but it gets the job done if you want something a little more fun or novelty focused finally if you do record your own audio and it comes out well
less than Stellar Adobe podcast is here to save the day it's the simplest audio enhancer out there barely any settings to mess with and the free version already does a great job the paid plan gives you more control but really it's all about what you need sometimes free is just fine and music how can we forget about creating songs it's kind of wild but these days you can actually generate an entire song lyrics Melody instruments the whole works from a single prompt with sunno you can specify the style BPM and so on it's super simple
and the final tracks sound surprisingly good if you want more control over your music like I do check out beat Hoven it's basically the the same idea as sunno but you can choose your style from a list add different emotions tweak the exact length and more it's definitely more customizable though maybe a little less reliable at times if you're more of a feeling person than a technical one there's sound raw you just pick the mood of the track select the parameters you want and it does the rest no prompt writing required no describing what you
need just point click and you're good to go the F tracks from these tools are great but sometimes you just want riffs that's where refusion steps in you can enter your lyrics or describe the sound you're after and it'll generate short riffs with cool visualizations it can even crank Out lyrics for you a handy sidekick if you're a musician looking for quick inspiration speaking of classical imagine telling moart that AI can now pump out orchestral pieces on par with what he wrote well Iva might impress even the Old Masters it's fantastic for classical music and
249 other styles no joke pick a key signature decide how long you want the piece to be and how many tracks you need you also get three free downloads a month which is a sweet deal usually once you generate a track that's all you get but Boomie does it differently you can add vocals rearrange the track even swap out instruments or layer in random sounds like traffic noise if you want it's a really refreshing approach to AI music and finally one more toe I love but can't really segue into smoothly vocal remover. Org the name
says it all just upload any track and it'll split the vocals from the instrumentals so you can download them sep separately so far we've been keeping our AIS pretty creative but I really want to get serious for a second let me put on my serious face and show you a couple of tools for business and productivity I'm a total notion junkie so it's probably no surprise that I recommend notion AI to just about anyone who listen it basically acts like Chad GPT inside your notion workspace summarizing notes generating text creating lists bullet points even analyzing
files and documents and writing code if you love notion already this is the ultimate add-on if you're more of a Google person there's notebook llm you can drop in a video a website link or any file and it'll analyze everything for you it even generates notes based on your uploaded files lets you chat with them and can create quizzes you name it now if we suddenly lost Google Calendar or notion motion AI would be my next go-to it's got built-in AI for managing tasks scheduling reminders and all that good stuff it's more professional grade and
might have a steeper learning curve but it can really streamline your workflow once you get the hang of it of course there are a 100 AI tools out there literally and it's tough to pick the right one here's what I usually do head to the AI tool finder in geek cademy describe my situation and let GE academ's AI dig up the best fits for me saves a ton of time productivity can take many forms like building a website in record time with hokus you just answer a few questions and boom it generates a fully functional
nice looking site text images layout optimization it does it all alternatively there's framer AI which does pretty much the same thing but has its own spin on layouts honestly I choose based on which visuals you like best because the text and image generation part is more or less the same across most of these Site Builders finally a confession I used to dread taking meeting notes then I found otter it's just a browser extension you connect before your meeting and it records and transcribes everything in real time it even captures images if you need it to
now I can actually pay attention during meetings without worrying about missing anything generating text is ai's bread and butter so here are a few more tools for blogging creative writing and text editing because sometimes you just need a specialized option like uh pseudo write which has been trained specifically on creative writing think novels and short stories it can suggest plot tweaks for bigger impact generate fresh dialogue where it's needed and help polish your style so everything reads smoothly quill goes above and beyond platforms like chat GPT by offering a built-in paraphraser grammar checker plagiarism Checker
and summarization tool you just paste in your text and edit away keeping full control of the final output if you're really serious about writing and don't want AI to steal your personal flare you need a toll that suggests changes rather than autof fixing everything that's where Lex AI comes in you upload your draft it gives feedback and comments and you decide which suggestions to accept it's optimized for folks who plan on publishing their work so it's ready for Prime Time a more all-in one toe should not only write but also rewrite reply to emails edit
and do research basically a Chad GPT with all the knobs turned up I'd go with hyperr right for that reliable straightforward and versatile or you could try writer for more demanding projects it focuses on sounding human matching a realistic writing style instead of spitting out words for the sake of it despite having a bunch of features it's still easy to navigate you'll always know where to click and what to fill in you can even use it without filling with complicated prompts so send it to your mom if you like if she or you work in
the office or at the uni you might need a presentation Builder and you probably want something fast and reliable slides wizard is a great place to start you just type in a topic and it creates up a structured outline all the text and even images for your slides it's a simple and quick fix for anyone who's new to making slides I love TOS that play nicely with other and having a chat GPT plugin is usually a good sign smart slides is the only one on this list that has that it's also got improved built-in charting
compared to other TOS many of them don't do chars at all plus it's pretty flexible when it comes to layouts sometimes even that's not enough and you need to get really creative with your slides slide flow offers loads of editing options so your presentation looks and feels One of a Kind the truth is good presentations need good visuals so it's worth picking a toll based on how the final slides look that's why we have presentation templates slides go for example has a bunch of AI generated templates you can customize you can tweak Styles set the
tone and even use built-in AI to add images or translate slides I prefer my presentations to be a bit more fun more interactive you know like polls quizzes and audience q&as that's where send steps comes in it gives your viewers a chance to participate which makes the info easier to take in I really wish I'd had these TOS when I was a student all I ever did was toss in some animations and hope for the best but now ai can even do that for you presentations AI doesn't just add animations to whole slides or specific
elements it'll also automatically adjust layouts and movement to fit your content while you just sit back and chill I want to say every presentation generator is unique but let's be honest they're pretty similar beautiful AI is another tool that covers most of the same bases AI templates easy editing and automatic content generation but somehow the slides it generates just look more polished to me I can't explain it they just do on the flip side sometimes the simplest solution is the best pitch is great if you want to create up something super fast without paying a
ton of money you just describe the presentation and that's it no fancy customization or extra settings you get what you get and there's a certain charm to that Simplicity if you want to create your own infographics to drop into your slides try my lens AI it doesn't generate presentations but it does produce a variety of charts graphs and other visuals you can even have a dig for data on the web and do a bunch of different inputs oh and it's totally free so you've got nothing to lose I feel like I'm forgetting something that's right
developers sorry guys my bad here's some cold toes for you and if that's not enough we've just posted a list of AI toes for developers in GE Academy all with explanations and tips on building an efficient development workflow for everyday code and help you can always just stick with Chad GPT or Gro but they don't really integrate with your development environment if you're using vs code for instance tabn is worth a look it's got predictive autocomplete filling in entire functions and shaving off keystrokes as you type it also comes with an AI chat feature so
you can ask for explanations debug tips and ideas without leaving your editor GitHub co-pilot X offers a slightly different experience one feature I love is generate from comments you write a plain English comment and co-pilot turns it into fully functional code it can also generate entire functions suggest Snippets and finisher code for you co-pilot is powered by open AI codex but there are other specialized options code T5 for example has a different architecture and produces slightly different results though still very Solid Source AI also uses codex and covers the same Basics as co-pilot rewriting bug
fixes suggestions just without that Nifty generate from comments feature most Dev focused AI tools tend to do the same sorts of things so it comes down to what you're personally comfortable with having more options is always a good thing another Contender is mutable which can refactor your code generate documentation and even review your code but it's basically like all the other TOS here but Amazon code whisper might beat them all it supports multiple programming languages integrates with popular idees and offers realtime code suggestions you can also generate unit tests run security scans and crucially it's
a license aware so you're not accidentally ripping off someone else's code I'm not much of a developer myself but I can appreciate a good toll though research might be more of my thing my all-time favorite for research is perplexity we even did a whole video about it recently it's just amazing super detailed in-depth userfriendly and best of all free for the majority of your research needs you won't even need a subscription it's hard to top perplexity though Chad gbt's deep research is catching up it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to generate an answer but
rather than just throwing quotes at it synthesizes everything it finds pair that with its reasoning abilities and you've got a pretty solid tool these two options are high level but sometimes you just want simple summarizing especially for academic research scholar C was specially trained on research papers students and teachers will notice how it digs deeper pulls out key findings and highlights citations in a super useful way elicit does basically the same thing ask a question and it'll analyze research papers to pull out the major points summarize findings and highlight citations I'm including it because it
works really well and it's always best to cross check your research with multiple tools right but what about audio don't throw away those lecture recordings feed them to deep gram AI it transcribes your audio then summarizes it so it's easy to follow and understand you can do the same with videos just paste a link into summarize Tech wait for it to process and then it gives you a breakdown and neat 5 minute chunks perfect for getting the gist without investing a bunch of time in watching the whole video at this point you might be wondering
how can AI TOS be even more categorized I have some thoughts so instead of coming up with the solution I'm just going to dump a bunch of TOS that didn't fit into any category at least in my opinion durable creates websites from scratch just enter a few details about your business and within a minute bam you've got a fully designed site with text images and layout ready to roll they also throw in invoicing CRM and AI driven marketing tools to help run your whole operation online that shiny new business of yours definitely needs some branding
and if you want a sneak peek of how that branding looks in the real world tailor Brands is your go-to it pumps out logos brand kits marketing materials and even business cards based on your preferences zero design skills needed and no need to spend hours tinkering in Photoshop and of course your business is going to need ads specifically video ads if you're stumped just drop a product description or link into creative ify Ai and it'll generate video ads complete with visuals voiceovers and background music movie quotes got your attention right get yarn Dio lets you
search and grab clips from TV shows movies and music videos perfect for memes social media or spicing up your post with just the right moment fun fact that gift you saw in a geek Academy post came straight from there need another summarization tool for the road adify might be your best friend it's a Chrome extension that with one click summarizes any video super straightforward great quality plus a decent free version I use it all the time for social media managers handling post ideas captions or hashtags hoot sweet owy Rider is a solid pick it's simple
but powerful suggesting content and helping you optimize everything for each platform it's kind of like having a personal assistant but not quite the one with assistant in its name is buffer AI assistant it can write schedule and optimize your posts so you stay consistent without killing hours every week I just wish it work with Discord life would be so much easier finally the last toll in the entire internet kidding but it's pretty great Cactus AI it's perfect for students writing essays generating paragraphs solving math problems detecting AI tons of Handy stuff even if you're not
a student give it a shot it's pretty cool all around have you tried any of these Toes or all of them I'd love to read your comments about the toes you use that aren't on this list thanks for watching and see you in the next one
