Since the public launch of the ChatGPT On November 1, 2022, tech giants like Microsoft and Google entered the game and made their Artificial Intelligence (AI) prototypes available and embedded them in several of their products and services. 

As expected, several other developers have started to launch very interesting solutions that make extensive use of AI to make people's lives increasingly practical, productive and, of course, fun! How about being part of this trend?

Check out some suggestions for apps that delve into this universe and unleash your creativity!

1 – Canva

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 see fit. If you don’t like the result, simply repeat the process, change the parameters and filters, etc.

It is important to mention that this functionality is unlimited for users of Canva Pro.

2 – ElevenLabs

This app creates voices according to the parameters established by users: this is the most common model for using this type of technology and it is known as Generative Artificial Intelligence.

You can use the audios created by the app for various purposes: videos, e-books, chatbots, games, etc. In general, the voices sound quite natural; of course, sometimes 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, with bilingual content production.

Enthusiasts can try the free version of ElevenLabs; however, professionals can consider choosing one of the monthly plans, which unlock several other features, such as commercial use and instant voice cloning. 

3 – Lensa

Want to give your favorite photos and selfies a special touch? Lensa works to create corrective filters that make them look amazing.

It is a simple and lightweight application to use, aimed at the general public. In addition, it is capable of creating super creative avatars using the photos in your gallery.

You can also change the tone and color of the 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 AI-powered apps).

4 – Reply

This is probably one of the most curious (and controversial) apps on this list: you create an avatar and chat with it about anything. 

It can simulate emotions, give advice and clarify your doubts at any time. It is a kind of ChatGPT, but on another level of interactivity with the user. 

After all, AIs tend to give very cold and blunt answers and that’s not exactly interesting for people who just want “someone” (or “something”?) to talk to.

Everything you talk about with 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 practicing your pronunciation until it becomes perfect? That's what ELSA Speak is all about. The app, available for Android and iOS, helps you find the correct pronunciation while learning the language.

Everything is personalized: The AI gradually learns about your English proficiency and creates sentences for you to practice. As your level of experience increases, the training becomes increasingly difficult.

If you already use the Duolingo, ELSA can be an excellent complement to your studies!

6 – Otter

This application aims to automatically transcribe online meetings. Companies that need to hold multiple meetings can benefit greatly from this feature, as no information will go unnoticed.

Although this type of service already exists in some well-established 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 through AI is now possible through this application. It is not as simple a software as those 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 large productions!

Many incredible examples of work created with the help of Luma can be seen on their official websiteIt's safe to say that the 3D design industry is about to undergo a major revolution!

Final conclusions

There is no turning 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. Of course, algorithms cannot replace 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 only release their full functionality in their subscription versions. The reason is simple: maintaining AI-powered systems is quite expensive. Developers need a powerful infrastructure to support the high demand, as well as to train AI models on large data sets.
