Best AI Tools for Video Generators and Editors

Videos transcend language barriers and break down complicated theories and processes into simple chunks.

Best AI Tools for Image and Art Generators and Editors

What’s any kind of content without a captivating image or informative drawing? Art evokes specific emotions and enhances visual appeal, whether that’s for a book, a website, or a blog post. 

Sourcing the right image takes a lot of effort and a chunk of your budget, whether that’s paying for stock imagery or hiring an artist or photographer to capture your creative ideas. If you want to create your own, be prepared to learn tricky art software and practice your art theory.

Budget and time constraints often don’t allow you to spend too much time collaborating and tweaking images until they’re just right. Poor quality art either doesn’t convey your message effectively, or images don’t keep a consistent look throughout your projects, hurting your brand identity.

Thanks to the surge in AI art tools, platforms can automate a lot of the artistic process. As a creative person, I love how AI art tools help me come up with new concepts. I’ve often tinkered with AI art to make truly unique-looking YouTube thumbnails that I wouldn;t be able to achieve on my own. 

From making simple enhancements to inspiring new ideas, here are our favorite AI art tools.

Midjourney’s a powerful Discord bot that creates high-quality images from text prompts in any style you can think of.

Best AI Tools for Writing and Text Generating

Everyone writes, whether it’s a blog post, book, social media caption or a quick text. 

That doesn’t mean it’s easy. Even after years of writing, I still struggle to put words on a page at times, whether it’s because I can’t find the right words to use or I’m having trouble coming up with a structure for a piece I’m working on. Then after hours of writing, it’s difficult to switch my brain from ‘writing mode’ to ‘editing mode’ (or editing as I write, which wastes a lot of time). 

You can spend hours thinking of what you want to say, then developing your voice and expressing yourself clearly. What if you want to take a blog post and turn it into a video script or LinkedIn post? You have to start from scratch every time.

AI helps give you your time back. Whether it’s tools to check your grammar, spelling, and tone, or templates that write all of your content for you from scratch, AI writing tools can save you time and budget so you can focus on the creative part of writing. Here are the best AI websites we’ve tried for all kinds of writing.

Best AI Tools for Music Generating

Create the perfect atmosphere by adding music to your video, ad, or podcast. With the right beat, you’ll enhance your storytelling and even get stuck in your listeners’ minds with your catchy jingle. I create guided meditations and having the right music can make or break my listener’s relaxing experience.

The trouble is that stock music licenses are pricey and hiring a producer even more so. If you attempt your own tracks, it’s an incredibly technical learning experience.

Using music that’s low quality or unsuitable for your messaging decreases listener engagement and confuses customers, not to mention wasting precious budget and project time.

AI’s ability to help you make and edit music is getting more advanced. With the right tools you can generate brand new tracks to fit your project or edit audio with automated effects—no learning curve required.

Best AI Tools for Designing

Design helps customers interact with your products, platforms, and apps. Branding makes you memorable. So cutting corners can have detrimental effects to your reputation!

Designing is subjective, so it takes a long time to collaborate and approve design elements. It can cost a fair chunk of your budget when hiring a pro, too.

If your design doesn’t hit the mark, you don’t stand out among your competitors. Bad UI makes your products difficult to use and could lower your perceived value.

That’s why AI tools are so valuable in the design field—from collaborating on designs to generate fresh ideas, AI tools take out the stress, time, and cost out of developing your next visuals.

Best AI Tools AI Face Generating

Whether you see a face in a social media profile, a support chatbot, or in a video meeting, faces make us feel emotionally connected. They add a certain level of authenticity to websites and testimonials, so it’s vital we use them correctly. A friend of mine even used a face generator to test out a ‘faceless’ business where they didn’t want to reveal their real face.

Sourcing unique faces is a challenge. Stock images often lack diversity and look posed and artificial. Hiring models for a photoshoot is costly and hard to coordinate.

Using the wrong faces sends a confusing message to customers and might even harm your credibility if the faces don’t look like real people.

Best AI Tools for Avatar Generating

Avatars offer an interactive way for your customers to try products and services, and for you to experience virtual events without actually attending.

The main challenges with creating avatars are technical hurdles and lack of diversity. Learning to create 2D or 3D avatars is a long and technical process, with professionals costing a lot of money to hire. The wrong avatars might send harmful messages, like an avatar with an idealistic body type for a weight loss app.

How will you use your avatar if you don’t know how to deploy it on your website? What about if it lacks realism or offers no inclusivity? Your customers may feel discouraged and confused about your message. Your development budget may be gone before you’ve even brought an avatar to the public.

Choose various poses and download a photo of your avatar, or join the Discord server to grab your animation file.

Best AI Tools for Painting and Drawing

Sometimes, there’s no better way to express your ideas than drawing or painting them. But it’s not so easy if you lack art skills or don’t understand the complicated art software you bought.

Drawing takes a lot of practice and even a simple doodle might be difficult to interpret. If you’re trying to create a logo, wireframe, or piece of art yourself, it might come across as unprofessional and hard to decipher, turning away your customers.

Tools that use AI can aid the drawing process with prompt-based drawing and inspiration for new ideas. You don’t even need to practice for hours to gain artistic skill or learn tricky art programs with generative AI art. Here’s a list of AI tools we tested to make drawing feel enjoyable again.

90. Quick, draw!

Powered by Google, this fun drawing tool prompts you to draw an object using your mouse. Google’s AI will constantly try to guess out loud what you’re drawing—and it's surprisingly accurate (it only struggled to guess one out of around 50 doodles I created). Have fun!

• Completely free to use

91. Stable Doodle

Turn your simple doodle into a fully fledged piece of art thanks to Stable Doodle’s AI. Draw in the box provided and provide a simple text prompt so the AI understands the context. In a flash, you’ll receive three designs in various styles. Choose your favorite to download in HD or edit it further with simple editing tools like upscaling and background removal.

• Download and edit for free, with watermark

• Remove the watermark with a monthly subscription of around $7 a month

92. Scribble Diffusion

This tool’s like a basic version of Stable Doodle where you doodle your design and provide a text prompt. Scribble Diffusion is pretty basic and generates one image at a time—I found it helps to be as descriptive as possible when prompting. 

• Download all images for free.

93. AutoDraw

So what if your doodle is a little wonky? AutoDraw instantly recognizes what you’re trying to draw and suggests icons to replace it. Choose three aspect ratios for your canvas and change the color of your pen in a click. Select the icon to change the color once it’s drawn and use the handles to resize. Add shapes and text to complete the drawing then download as a PNG.

• Free

94. Color Anything

Whether you’re designing a coloring book or just want to wind down with your marker pens, Color Anything creates basic black line drawings of anything. Use a text prompt to make a coloring page that’s free to print or download. If you don’t like the result, generate it again. It’s unlimited!

• Free

95. Sketch MetaDemoLab

Bring your children’s drawings to life with the power of Sketch. Upload a photo of their doodle and the website recognizes the figure automatically. Drag the ‘joints’ to line up with the head, arms, and legs, then sit back as it turns into an animation. The steps are so simple for anyone to follow and you can choose from a variety of fun animations. Although there’s no option to download the animation, you can share it via a URL.

• Free

96. Magic sketchpad

Another fun, experimental drawing tool. Choose an object from Magic Sketchpad’s drop down menu and begin to draw it using your mouse. For best results, start with basic shapes—then let AI take over. Its machine learning will attempt to finish your design. Although the results are basic line drawings, it’s impressive to see how well it performs!

Best AI Tools for Character Generating

From a company mascot to the protagonist in your next book, character creation is essential for branding and marketing. Your unique character can embody certain traits and build trust with your target audience. Likable characters can even become friends.

It’s tricky to create a believable character, though. For non-artists, making a concept into a visual interpretation with various expressions and poses is difficult. As a result, your character won’t engage your audience and earn their trust. It might feel unprofessional and diminish your branding efforts entirely.

There are plenty of tools that create both the visual elements and the traits of your character using AI. We’ve tested many and these are our favorites for effective character generation.

99.Replika

Meet your new bestie. Replika’s a free app for Android and iOS that feels like a cross between a game and an instant messenger app. Create your Replika character’s appearance, give them a name, and start chatting!

Best AI Tools for Audio Generating

Hearing a voice is more relatable and emotional than written content. People who find it difficult to read or are visually impaired can digest spoken words much easier.

For high quality voiceover, it’s either expensive to hire the right talent, or too difficult to get right unless you spend a lot of money and time creating a quiet recording environment. Then there’s the audio editing which often takes far longer than the recording—for a 30 min voiceover, it often takes me around an hour to edit!

Bad audio is distracting and off-putting. Whether that’s down to the wrong voice—a serious newsreader voice wouldn’t sound right for a children’s audiobook—or poor quality audio with breaths and background noise. Low quality voiceover could lead to lower retention rate on your content and the message might be difficult to understand.

AI comes to the rescue again, this time by transforming the audio production process. We’ve tested dozens of audio production tools and these AI generators and editors are our favorites.

111. Resemble.ai

There’s a lot of customization options in Resemble’s web-based voiceover app. The voice marketplace features a wide variety of voices based on use cases like audiobooks, ads, and games.

Best AI Tools for Automating Business Processes

If your business has several teams working together, communication breakdowns happen, resulting in lower productivity and unhappy employees.

Best AI Tools for Researching

Thorough research is essential for studying, running a business, and creating content because it allows you to get backed data and insights into subjects while identifying opportunities.

Performing any kind of research takes a long time to do correctly. You have to scour several publications, read through studies manually to understand if they’re relevant and worth citing. As a writer, I often have to back up statistics with real studies and sifting through endless papers is overwhelming, especially if you include papers that are out of date.

Researching takes up mental energy and lots of valuable time. Without solid data, you might even throw away opportunities to grow and learn about new trends.

Fortunately, there are AI search engines and tools that can find what you need fast and summarize the data without your input. We’ve gathered some of the best AI tools for you to try.

Best AI Tools for Podcasting

Podcasts are so convenient and fun to listen to, so they’re worth doing right.  Done correctly, you’ll find new customers and share your brand story in an interesting way.

Many podcasters find production difficult though. It’s tricky to coordinate guests, create high quality audio, and publish to a tight schedule. Even when I was running a solo podcast for sleep stories, I found creating audio content time-consuming.

An inconsistent, low quality podcast is a huge waste of opportunity to gain new listeners. You might lose the fans you do have which in turn could harm your brand. All that budget and time spent without the results you want to achieve.

AI is amazing for making podcasting easier. It can increase your audio quality and even prepare all the supporting content like show notes and social posts. For example, Notta transcribes podcast audio from a file or link with up to 98.86% accuracy.

Best AI Tools for Animation

Animation is a fun, dynamic way to convey your message and break down complicated topics. That’s why you’ll often find online courses and explainer videos using animation.

Without any kind of automation, producing good quality animations either require a steep learning curve or a large portion of your budget to hire professionals. Animations require storyboarding, animating the frames, and graphic design skills. Add in coordinating the staff involved, it’s very tricky to keep everyone happy and finish on the deadline.

Bad quality animation looks amateur and might not share your message effectively, wasting precious resources. It’s all too easy to lose money and time on expensive animation projects that never come to fruition because of technical stumbling blocks.

Now, AI can do most of the animation work for you, no learning curve required. To inspire ideas and keep your branding consistent, here are our favorite AI animation tools.

Hopefully you can now see just how transformative AI tools can be in every area of work and life. Since AI tools rose to prominence, I’ve spent a lot of time playing around with them to enhance both my work and personal life. In my experience, what all AI tools have in common is how they can perform fairly complex tasks without you needing any technical knowledge or skills. There’s no need to learn to code, write, draw, or animate, but I also think they’re there to enhance our capabilities as humans—I certainly work smarter and more creatively since discovering AI. 

What will you create?
