Transcript

Six free AI tools that you probably haven't heard of, but definitely should be using. The last one will blow your mind. First, we have Google AI Studio. This tool lets you access some of the most powerful AI models completely for free. Next up, we have napkin AI. Describe a concept, and it will break it down for you and generate infographics and visuals to go with it. If you create any type of presentation, this one's for you. Gamma AI will turn your single idea into a full fledged presentation complete with research visuals and all. And I must say, it looks pretty good. This next one lives directly within your iPhone, and you might not even know about it. The cleanup tool in your Photos app will automatically remove unwanted people and objects in your photos. Then there's Kria AI, which lets you edit your photos with just a prompt. And this last one is my personal favorite, and I use it every single day. It's Google's No l m. This one lets you upload documents, videos, and books on a certain topic, and it will generate learning material based off of that. For example, an explainer video, a mind map, or even a podcast with two very entertaining hosts.
