I found the best new AI tools of the year, like AI that generates as you draw, AI that makes any image come to life, and even AI that turns your voice into a musical instrument. It’s mind-blowing what you can do with all this new AI, so let me blow your mind. So straight off the bat, you can use all these AI tools on a phone, a computer, or even a tablet.
So just pick one, and for the first AI tool, head on over to Leonardo.AI. Once inside the website, it’s super easy to start using just by tapping on the launch app, and on the left-hand side, they have this new real-time canvas tool. Basically, how it works is that the box on the left is a canvas where you can draw what you’d like the AI to generate, and don’t worry, your artwork can be pretty bad. But here’s where it gets mind-blowing. Because now I can type in what I’d like to see, and as I type, the AI will generate the artwork right away, which is crazy. Then you can even pick the exact art style you’d like it in, whether that’s cinematic, photographic, fantasy art, a sketch, or dynamic art. There are so many different options to choose from. Then there’s even this instant refine option, which, once you press it, makes your artwork look ten times better. But what is even crazier about Leonardo is image generation, if you go ahead and type in the prompt box to generate an image, like a portrait of a metal robot in the Victorian era wearing a crown and trees in the background. Not only will it generate some incredible options, but once you hover over it, you’ll see this new option to generate motion video. You can adjust the strength of how much motion you’d like to see in the video, and once you’re happy, just click, and in a couple of seconds, it produces this incredible moving AI generation that looks so realistic and is pretty high quality. This is just so much fun, and you can get stuck in it for hours. So imagine you had a paintbrush that could magically make pictures come alive. Well, you can actually do that using this AI tool called RunwayML.com, which I have actually shown before, but it’s got some cool new features.
So once you’ve logged in using your Google account, if you select this text-to-video option, you’ll find this brand new tool called Motion Brush. All you have to do is drag and drop in any photo or picture you have, like this picture of a bird. Then what you do is paint over the areas you’d like to bring to life. So I wanted the entire bird to move, so I painted over the whole thing, but you could do the background instead if you wanted. Now all you do is actually adjust the motion by using these sliders. You can move them left or right, up and down, and even zoom in and out. But once you’re all done, just click save, then click generate, and in a few minutes, your photo will literally come to life, which is just so freaking cool, and this works on pretty much any picture. Just use the brush on whatever it is you’d like to animate, and let the AI do its magic. I also noticed this works really well with elements like fire and water. It looks incredible with animals and really understands their movement, plus you can even use selfies, which is just crazy to me, and almost any landscape looks incredible. So basically, just go mad and see how far you can push it. So this next app is something totally new to the AI world. It’s called Hey Jen, and it’s been blowing people’s minds. It’s actually totally free to try out, and all you’re going to do is log in again using your Google account, then head over to the video translation section over here.
Now you just have to take a video of yourself talking. It could be around 30 seconds, or if you want, you can make it even longer. But then it’s time to take that video and drag and drop it into this upload box. Then what you can do is, from this list of languages, you can choose something like French, for example, and if you click on translate, it’ll then take that video and automatically translate it for you. Et pas seulement ça, cela fera même en sorte que cela ressemble à vous et changera vos mouvements de lèvres de manière à ce que cela ressemble à ce que vous dites. And because it has over 29 different languages, including all the popular ones, you can translate English into any other language, such as Mandarin. Or, if you want, you can even speak in Spanish. Or Hindi as well. Which I think is pretty cool. I mean, this opens up so many possibilities for people all over the world to better understand each other. But also, just imagine that one day this gets so good that people talking to you will instantly be translated through your glasses. That would be insane. Okay, so this next AI tool is one of the coolest things I have ever seen, and it’s called Musicfi. lol, and trust me, lol must stand to laugh out loud because of what you do using this tool. Once you’ve loaded it up, click on Get Started, and in the corner over here, just make sure you log in using your Google account. Don’t worry, it’s totally free to use. Then, once you’ve logged in, all you have to do is change to instrumentals, and over here, select the instrument you’d like to use, like an electric guitar. And then this is where things get really funny. You’ll have to press record, and please don’t laugh. But then you’ll need to literally make a sound like a guitar, something like this. Then, once you’re done, just click remix, and the AI will turn your voice into something like this. which sounds so cool. And you can also add some rhythm guitar, throw in a little bass, and even add some harmony guitar chords. And when you’re all done and add that together, you get this, which I mean all this without any instruments, just AI and your voice, but it gets even better than this.
AI voices have been around for a while now, but 11 Labs has come up with something that is changing the AI voice game. Just sign into it using your Google account, and again, this one is free to start using. And once you’re in, you’ll see this brand new speech-to-speech option. Once you’ve selected it, you can then pick from one of 11Lab’s pre-made voices, like Giovanni, for example. Then what you do once you’ve picked a voice is click on this record button and basically say whatever it is you’d like into the microphone using expression, and when you’re done recording, just click on generate. The AI will then take your voice and, in just a few seconds, transform it into the voice that you picked. So, if you wanted to… You could sound like a distinguished gentleman. Or, like, an animated character with a bit of a squeaky voice. Or… like someone who whispers because they’re afraid of the shouting. And because you can also train Eleven Lab’s voices to sound like any other character you’d like, your options are pretty much limitless. Like, one day, just imagine you can upgrade your voice to a totally different one with just the click of a button. I mean, talk about crazy stuff.
Now, this next AI tool is absolutely hilarious, and within Chrome, all you have to search for is missjif.app. Once you’re on the site, as you scroll down, you’ll see a list of super popular GIFs. Or if you don’t like any of the options, you can also search for your own one, like Black Widow, for example, which of course will bring up a whole bunch of different options, but once you’ve found the GIF you like, just hit on the browse button under it and here look for a photo of yourself, or better yet, choose one of your friends, and once you’ve found it, tap on Let’s Face Swap and then check this out. After a few seconds, the AI will generate this hilarious face swap GIF, which, let’s not lie, does such a damn good job at making it look real. And the crazy thing is that all this is absolutely free. Once you’ve signed in, you pretty much get unlimited generations, which is honestly kind of perfect for sending to your friends as a joke. I guarantee that if you send them a face swap GIF of yourself, you’ll get a pretty crazy response. So by now, we should all know about ChatGPT and how it kickstarted the AI revolution, but it’s had a massive update where you can now make your own AI with it, specifically an entire AI clone of yourself.
To do this, you’ll need to go inside the new Explore section, where, right at the top over here, you’ll see the Create a GPT option. Once you click on it, a new window will open, and this is where all the magic happens. You’ll see that you have two text boxes on either side of the screen. The text box on the left is where you create your AI by giving it parameters that teach it what you would like it to do, and the text box on the right is where you can now literally start testing the AI as you create it. So what I decided to do was actually make an AI clone of myself by giving it a picture of how I look, calling it hails, teaching it how I write and talk, what music I like to listen to, what my job is, and all that jazz. And now I can use this AI clone to do pretty much anything for me, like answer my emails. All I have to do is just copy and paste an email, and in just a few seconds, she’ll whip up a response to it based on how I reply. So not only can you use this for creating like a second brain, but there are so many other unlimited options you can do with it, and I just love how it even signs off like me. But what’s literally mind-blowing about this is that you can keep teaching it more and more so that it makes a better clone, which is so scary but also kind of cool. So AI clones of yourself are definitely cool, but if you head on over to roomai.com with this tool, you can actually use AI to redecorate your entire house. To start using it, all you have to do is log in using your Google account, and once you’re in, it’ll take you to this page, where instead of generating a new AI room, just select Restyle. Now, using this upload box over here, you can either select a picture from your gallery or actually take a picture of your lounge, kitchen, or bathroom. Once you’ve uploaded your room, you can then scroll down to styles and pick exactly what design style you’d like. You have a whole bunch of different ones to choose from, like rustic or Victorian, even psychedelic or post-apocalyptic, to see how the room would look if it were completely run down, but once you’ve chosen a style, you can also choose a color palette for your redesign, and if you scroll down a bit more, you’ll see a few other options you can play around with.
But once you’ve chosen a style, you can also choose a color palette for your redesign, and if you scroll down a bit more, you’ll see a few other options you can play around with. But then just click on the restyle image button, and in just a few seconds, it’ll completely transform your room based on the different styles and colors you chose. It’ll change the paint color of your walls. furniture decor And it’s just such a cool way to get ideas on how to style your space. Now this AI tool is called MyLens.AI, and it combines AI and history to make a really sick AI tool. It’s super simple to use; all you have to do is ask it for the history of anything, like YouTube, and then just click on the create timeline button, and it’ll start creating a timeline for you of YouTube’s entire history. and pretty much everything that happened to make it what it is today. You can do this with just about anything, like Twitter, for example, Samsung, or Apple, and it’ll always narrow down the most important historical points for you. And if you ever wanted to save these timelines, you can just click on this download button over here, which honestly is just so nifty. And if you’re wondering about how accurate it is, well, I asked it to give me a timeline of the Hales YouTube channel, and somehow it did actually manage to do a pretty accurate job, and, safe to say, I was impressed. Now on to what’s possibly the coolest AI tool I’ve used in a while. It’s totally free, and again, you can use this on clippedrop.co’s website, which I’ve talked about before, but you’ll find something brand new in it called Swap. How it works is that you just need to drag and drop any image into this box, like the Mona Lisa.
For example, ClipDrop’s AI will detect any faces in the picture, like the Mona Lisa’s face, but to replace it, just click on the blue circle and go ahead and select the picture of yourself, or even better, you could use a picture of a friend. The ClipDrop AI will then quickly learn your face and your expression, while also learning the style and design of the main picture’s face. And in a few seconds, it’ll combine both perfectly to replace the face in the picture with your own. This literally blew my mind with just how well it worked, and I tested it on a couple of different things, like paintings and a taller bill, and it did such a good job every single time. You can also use these arrows over here to quickly generate a few different options for how your face looks, which is also really handy and can give you a completely different result every time. Honestly, it’s going to be an insane year for AI. There are so many new AI tools being released, so make sure you stick around for those, but I’ll see you guys in the next one. Toodles!
