Discovering the Best AI Tools of 2023: My Top Picks
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to AI Tools
In recent months, I've delved deeply into an AI tool that has significantly enhanced both my professional and personal life — ChatGPT. Its latest advancements have truly exceeded my expectations. However, this is merely the beginning.
There are numerous other AI tools that I would love to share with you. Below are my top recommendations.
Section 1.1: DALL-E 3: Transforming Text to Images
DALL-E 3 is an impressive tool for converting text into images, similar to Midjourney, and is included in the paid ChatGPT subscription. It allows you to visualize anything you can imagine, even whimsical concepts like cats in spacesuits.
Recently, I uncovered a way to generate images for free without using ChatGPT. This method is accessible via Bing Image Creator. Simply log into your Microsoft account, enter your desired text, and let the tool do the rest. It effectively interprets your requests and delivers the results you're looking for.
As a newcomer, you receive 25 complimentary credits, which refresh weekly. Each image creation uses one credit, making it a budget-friendly option for your creative projects.
I’m confident you will enjoy using DALL-E 3.
Section 1.2: Perplexity: Your Handy AI Chatbot
Perplexity is a fantastic AI chatbot designed for anyone in need of quick information or engaging text content. It is incredibly user-friendly — no registration or complicated setup required. Just visit their website, and you can instantly access a wealth of information.
This tool is versatile, responding in the language you use. Perplexity acts like a mini research assistant, gathering information from various sources and presenting it clearly. Unlike ChatGPT, which is limited to data from 2021, Perplexity draws from current internet content for more relevant insights.
You’ll receive a main response, source citations, related questions, and an option to ask more if needed. It’s interactive, allowing you to click on unfamiliar terms for definitions.
Section 1.3: LeiaPix: Bringing Photos to Life
LeiaPix is not just a fun tool; it also offers significant advantages for businesses by enhancing product presentations. Similar to the iPhone’s Live Photo feature, it animates your images, adding a dynamic quality.
The interface is straightforward. Simply upload the photo you want to animate and adjust the settings to fit your style.
Usage is free to start, giving you 300 credits, and downloading your animations costs only 50 credits. You can even share your creations on social media without any charge.
Section 1.4: MusicGen AI: Your Personal Composer
MusicGen is an AI tool that allows you to create music by simply describing your vision and providing a melody example. It’s like having your own music composer who listens to your needs, making it perfect for adding a unique touch to your projects.
Using it is straightforward. Visit their website, describe the vibe or instruments you want, such as ‘smooth jazz with a hint of violin’, and MusicGen will create the music you envision.
Here’s a demo I made just for you.
Section 1.5: Luma Lab: Quick 3D Creations
I became completely captivated by Luma AI, spending hours watching videos made with this fantastic tool. It’s a real game changer, especially for marketers looking to create standout content.
Luma AI allows marketers to generate unique content from photos or videos, and for designers, it helps model 3D objects. Imagine giving clients the ability to view products online from every angle and zoom in for details.
Currently, this tool is free to use.
Section 1.6: SciSpace: A Smart PDF Assistant
SciSpace serves as a great free alternative to some paid features in ChatGPT. It’s incredibly useful for uploading PDFs and performing tasks such as summarizing, paraphrasing, or posing questions about the content. Additionally, it allows linking to external sites.
It also effectively handles images and diagrams, extracting them from documents and comprehending their content. For added convenience, you can install it as a Chrome extension for easy access in your browser. It supports multiple languages, which I particularly appreciate.
This tool is completely free, but if you desire additional features, there are some paid add-ons available.
Loved this article and want to support my work? You can do so via PayPal. I'm also exploring Substack, where a subscription of $6 a month grants you unlimited access to this and exclusive content.
