At this point, most folks have heard of ChatGPT and Copilot, two pioneering generative AI apps that have led the AI boom.
But did you know that heaps of lesser-known AI tools can deliver wonderful, unique experiences? Here are six of the best.
1 Ditto Music
Rather than being one of many AI music generators you can use to create unique songs, Ditto is a tool that you can use to distribute your tracks. It also has an online AI mastering tool where you can drag and drop your own audio.
You can use this tool to give your song a name and change your copyright details. If you want to release tracks with your friends or under different personalities, you can also add multiple artists.
You can use this tool to change your music genres and languages, in addition to uploading your album artwork. Moreover, you have control over which platforms you distribute your songs on. Places you can share your music include Spotify, iTunes, Shazam, Tidal, and Amazon.
If you want to build some excitement, you can also choose the specific date you want to release your track.
2 AI Dungeon
AI Dungeon is a fun game where you use text-based prompting to determine your character's story. You can choose from several genres, including zombies, cyberpunk, and apocalyptic. Moreover, you can pick from a number of different character types.
Your story starts with a description of your character and what they're doing before you then have to type an action in the text box. You can choose from seeing, saying, doing, and adding to the story. If you don't like what the AI came up with, you can always tap the Retry button.
I have to say that I found this game quite captivating, and you can basically go down an endless rabbit hole. You get 100 credits, so you can really let your imagination run wild here. However, to get the most out of this game, you need to understand how to make better prompts.
3 ColorMagic
One of the most difficult things to do in any creative project, whether for yourself or as part of your job, is to pick the right color palette. Even as someone who's been in the creative sector for over eight years, I still find this quite challenging. However, if you're struggling with ideas, ColorMagic uses AI to make palettes for you.
To start, you'll need to enter a text prompt. You should explain where you'll use this palette, and you can also type in a mood or something similar.
As you can see in this example, I wanted a color palette representing fall. You'll see the precise color codes you need to know when you've generated your palette. Once you have this information, you'll find it easier to bring your designs together.
If you're unhappy with your results, ColorMagic has a feature where you can re-generate your palette.
4 OpenArt Image Blender
In the past, one of the only ways you've been able to blend images is through tools like Photoshop. Unfortunately, these are quite difficult to use if you have no photography or design experience. So, if you're only trying to create these designs for fun, getting a full Photoshop subscription might not be worth it.
OpenArt is one tool that can help you achieve the results you're looking for. You can customize your art in several ways, such as choosing the influence you want each picture to have. If you don't want to upload your own pictures, you can always experiment with the ones already in the app.
When using OpenArt, you also have the option to finetune your results with text-based prompts. Moreover, you can decide on how many images you want to use. If you only have a free plan, you can pick up to two pictures; upgrading will allow you to customize as many as 32.
If you have a free plan, you can access your creations for up to two weeks before they're deleted. If you get a premium subscription, your storage history is there for as long as you want it to be. Designs with two images on a free plan will cost two credits.
5 LingoSwap
If you've been on the internet for long enough, you might remember those accounts on Twitter that would rewrite popular songs and other things in Shakespearean language. You can now do that for yourself with LingoSwap.
LingoSwap lets you rewrite your text to sound like several real-life and fictional characters, including Elon Musk, Spongebob SquarePants, Shakespeare, Homer Simpson, Donald Trump, and Dwayne Johnson.
All you have to do is type your text in the box on LingoSwap and then choose the character you'd like it to sound like. If you don't want it to sound like any of the pre-made options, you can choose an alternative. Simply enter their name in the text box after selecting the option to pick someone else. To be honest, I didn't find this feature very accurate -- so you might need to try multiple times to get your preferred result.
6 Summarize.tech
Several AI tools will let you summarize text, including Notion AI. But what can you do if you'd like to summarize a video, whether that's for fun or just something in your personal life? You could always use summarize.tech, which does precisely what the name promises.
To use this tool, you just need to grab a video URL and copy/paste it into the search bar. The AI will then get to work summarizing the video; this might take a while, depending on how long it is. You'll then get a summary; click on the See more button for an in-depth description. For example, in the image above, I asked for a summary of a Jimmy Broadbent sim-racing video, which is described perfectly.
If you have a free account, you can only summarize up to five minutes at a time. However, you can upgrade to a paid subscription if you want more flexibility in this regard.
Whether you're looking to create fun stories or distribute your music, you'll find plenty of interesting AI tools that you might not have otherwise encountered in this list. While I probably wouldn't use the majority for professional work, they are interesting enough to try if you simply want to experiment with what AI can do on a smaller level.
