AI tools change quickly, but the useful ones usually do something simple: they remove a slow step, help you explore an idea, or make a routine task easier to finish.
- ChatGPT for problem solving and drafting
- LightPDF for PDF editing
- Midjourney for image generation
- Replit for code experiments
- Synthesia for generated video
- Soundraw for generated music
- Fliki for short-form video
- StarryAI for avatars
- SlidesAI for presentations
- Remini for photo enhancement
- Pictory for video editing
- Wordtune for rewriting and summaries
The filter is simple: keep the tools that reduce effort. Ignore the ones that create another dashboard to babysit.
