The first tool we're looking at can convert our ideas into comics complete with detailed illustrations and dialogues, at no cost. Just type in your story idea, like “Alice discovers a robot in a junkyard, repairs it, and it turns out to be a globe-trotting robot." Select a style, and there you have it - a complete comic with visuals and text. The cool part? You can regenerate any part you don't like without altering the rest, be it an image or the AI-generated text.
Hugging Face: The tool works exclusively in English. If you wish to have another language text, you'll need to edit it afterwards. It offers 15 distinct styles, and even lets you upload your own. Save your comic when done. This tool, utilizing Hugging Face's technology, is free to use.
Another feature includes integrating your Open AI API, allowing for image and text generation via ChatGPT, which might come with a fee. The text font changes when generating in another language, and there are some limitations on picture layout.
Although limited to four images per page, the quality of the images is high, making them printable - a perfect personal gift or a potential product for sale.
Video to Blog: Next up, an AI tool ideal for copyright replacement, capable of generating comprehensive, quality articles from videos. This is great for content creators or those offering blogging services, with potential for monetization through affiliate links or advertising.
The AI tool is straightforward. Log in, upload a video link, and select from various options like article length, language, tone, and specific instructions. The premium version offers advanced features like image generation, SEO Metadata, SMP, FAQ section, and more.
Exporting options include html, txt, pdf, and word formats, and it can be integrated into your website or Medium. The free version is limited, but the paid version, at $9, offers robust functionality, potentially replacing a copywriter.
For those with a ChatGPT subscription, similar functionalities might be implemented to avoid paying for another service.
FREEPIK: The third tool, FREEPIK, offers freedom in image creation. Unlike other image generators, this one allows for detailed customization. Real-time creation is based on your sketches or icons. The AI interprets your input to bring your vision to life.
The tool lets you add elements like circles or cars, and see how the AI interprets these on the fly. You can also provide written hints for more accurate results.
A unique feature is the ability to replay the creation process of your image.
Whimsical: Another tool I recommend is for creating Mind maps and diagrams. It's integrated with Notion, Figma, and Github, and AI assists at every step. You can plan, strategize, and even create project specifications.
The free version allows three projects, but the paid version, at $10 per month, offers unlimited projects and AI requests.
Moving on, another AI tool transforms your video or photo into a cartoon, maintaining the original content. You upload your media on Discord, choose a style, and add prompts if necessary. Credits are limited, and the paid version costs around $10 per month.
Runway: Next, the Runway app's gen2 tool generates on-demand videos and animates individual picture elements with a motion brush. You get 100 seconds of generation time for free.
Mixkit: Lastly, for those needing stock materials, I found a site offering free stock videos, tracks, sound effects, and video editor templates. These resources are available for commercial use and are categorized by editing software.
