Recently, one of the most popular graphics editors in the world launched the feature Magic Media: through it, you create images according to what you write.
For example: if you type “A book on a desk” and click “Create your Image”, the tool will create four image options for you to choose from and edit as you wish. If you don't like the result, just repeat the process, change the parameters and filters, etc.
It is important to mention that this functionality is unlimited for users of Canva Pro.
two - ElevenLabs

This app creates voices according to parameters established by users: this is the most common model for using this type of technology and is known as Generative Artificial Intelligence.
It is possible to use the audio created by the application for various purposes: videos, e-books, chatbots, games, etc. In general, the voices come out quite natural; Of course, from time to time, some adjustments are necessary to get the best experience.
Generating voices in Portuguese is possible, but the platform also supports several other languages. This is especially interesting if you work, for example, producing bilingual content.
Enthusiasts can try the free version of ElevenLabs; however, professionals can consider the possibility of choosing one of the monthly plans, which unlock several other features, such as commercial use and instant voice cloning.
3 – Lensa

Do you want to give a special touch to your favorite photos and selfies? Lensa works on creating corrective filters that make them look incredible.
It is a simple to use and very lightweight application, aimed at the general public. Furthermore, he is able to create super creative avatars using the photos in his gallery.
You can also change the tone and color of photo backgrounds, add and remove elements, among many other features.
Although the tool has a free version, it also has an annual subscription option that unlocks its full potential (as do most other applications that work with AI).
4 – Replica

This is probably one of the most curious (and controversial) apps on this list: you create an avatar and talk to him about anything.
He can simulate emotions, give advice and clarify your doubts at any time. It's a kind of ChatGPT, but with another level of interactivity with the user.
After all, AIs tend to give very cold and crude answers and this is not exactly interesting for people who just want “someone” (or “something”?) to talk to.
Everything you talk to your avatar is recorded: that is, unlike your best friend, no information you share will be forgotten.
You can also video conference with Replika, as well as use virtual reality (VR) glasses to make the immersion even deeper.
5 – ELSA

How about learning English and training your pronunciation until it becomes perfect? This is the proposal of ELSA Speak. The app, available for Android and iOS, helps you find the correct pronunciation while learning the language.
Everything is done in a personalized way: Artificial Intelligence gradually learns about your command of the English language and forms sentences for you to practice. As your experience level increases, the training will become increasingly difficult.
If you already use Duolingo, ELSA can be an excellent complement to your studies!
6 – Otter

This app aims to automatically transcribe online meetings. Companies that need to hold several meetings can take great advantage of this functionality, as no information will go unnoticed.
Although this type of service already exists on some consolidated meeting platforms, Otter has some interesting differences: meeting participants can make special requests to the AI, such as creating a summary of what has been discussed so far, for example.
It shouldn't be long before other popular video conferencing services make use of these features.
7 – LUMA

Creating 3D scenes and objects in a simplified way using AI is now possible through this application. This is not software as simple as the ones mentioned above, but something created specifically for designers who want to enhance their creations with total freedom and creativity.
It is worth mentioning that, at least for now, the app is not capable of creating assets incredibly complex: instead, he suggests more basic models, which can be enhanced by designers to become great productions!
Many incredible examples of work created with the help of Luma can be seen in its official site. It's safe to say that the 3D design industry is about to undergo a major revolution!
Final conclusions
There is no going back: applications with Artificial Intelligence have arrived to change once and for all the way everyone uses their gadgets, such as smartphones, notebooks or desktop computers.
Tasks that would take days to complete can be delivered with excellence much faster through AI solutions. It is clear that algorithms are not capable of replacing human creativity and emotions, which are so fundamental to innovation; however, they are incredible tools to make the path easier.
Most applications have free versions, but they only release all their functionality in their subscription versions. The reason is simple: AI-powered systems are quite expensive to maintain. Developers need powerful infrastructure to sustain high demand as well as train AI models with large data sets.
