Looking For Real-World Uses Of AI? Here Are 4 Free Tools To Simplify Your Digital Life

Generative AI has been the talk of Silicon Valley ever since OpenAI launched ChatGPT, based on its GPT-3.5 LLM, publicly. Since then, tech companies have worked hard and fast to enter this rapidly evolving space.

Not only have giants like Google, Microsoft, and Meta embraced it, but they have also started to make these tools widely available in consumer-grade products such as smartphones. For instance, OpenAI has already introduced an iOS and Android app for ChatGPT, while Google has integrated its Gemini AI model into the Pixel 8 lineup.

Meanwhile, a slew of AI tools now exist that people can use to enhance efficiency and simplify tasks, which previously required a significant investment of time and money.

Here are 4 AI tools that can be useful in everyday life:

Adobe Podcast: This free AI-powered tool proves to be exceptionally valuable when encountering digital audio noise in a file that you must leverage. The user is merely required to upload the audio file, whereupon it will automatically undergo processing to enhance its quality, and if the background noise isn’t over the top, the tool can actually make your recordings sound great.

Google Bard: Gone are the days when you had to use Grammarly to check for spelling and grammar errors. Thanks to Google’s advanced Gemini Pro LLM, you can now easily ask the Bard chatbot to check a piece of text for grammar errors for free. Additionally, you can use Google Bard to generate images for free, which requires a paid subscription with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT Voice: While it is the same ChatGPT chatbot underneath, ChatGPT Voice makes it easier to have a natural conversation with the chatbot. You can ask it to speak a particular language such as Punjabi or French and even ask it to translate a phrase for you. This can prove to be particularly useful for translation, and of course, learning a new language. It is available for free as part of the ChatGPT app.

DALL-E 2: This tool, created by OpenAI, the same organisation that developed ChatGPT, represents another useful resource. It allows users to generate images by submitting detailed text-based prompts. These images can be used to visually depict abstract or non-existent scenarios, among others. DALL-E 2 also serves as a fun tool for turning imaginative concepts into tangible visual representations.

Google MusicLM: This free tool is currently a part of the Google AI Test Kitchen. It lets you submit text-based prompts and get audio in return. You can ask it to generate a wide range of music such as jazz, synth, and more. It can also generate music based on various moods such as sad, upbeat, and dramatic.
