There’s An AI For That.

A list of tested and untested AIs that might or might not be useful for you. In no particular order.

Text and Language AI Tools

  • Copilot: Microsoft’s AI assistant that you can use on its own app/site. However it’s also built into MS Office apps like Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Think Clippy for 2025. It excels at research, writing, repetitive tasks (e.g. turning screenshots into text), data analysis and more. This is my ride-or-die daily AI even though I am an Android user with Google products. The voice chat feature is mind boggling, and it feels like I’m just having a full conversation with someone.

  • ChatGPT: A language model by OpenAI designed for conversational AI and generating human-like text. Similar use to ChatGPT although likely better at coding tasks.

  • Claude: Again - to me feels very similar to Copilot and ChatGPT. (I’m sure Claude fans are screaming somewhere on the internet at me at saying this, and Claude has a lot of fans.) Claude’s writing feels like a very intelligent, haughty person is talking to me. Sometimes it’s a bit much. Where it really excels is its ginormous token context window, meaning the maximum amount of text that it can process at once while generating a response. At my most recent check, my ride-or-die Copilot sits at about 4K tokens, and Claude smashes that out of the park at 200K tokens. This means you can upload entire reports and documents for it to analyse at once.

  • Gemini: Google’s version of Copilot, built into its Google products. Surprisingly kinda terrible right now for use within Google Sheets, Docs and Slides. It’ll send me a prompt to see if I’d like some content generated or a slide to be formatted, and then give me the most lacklustre info and claim it can’t make the diagram it offered to make. However the email writing assistant is pretty decent and fully integrated into Gmail so you can get help with writing without leaving your browser tab.

  • Grammarly: An AI-powered writing assistant that helps with grammar, punctuation, and style. Have used this and wasn’t blown away, although people who enjoy tracking their own stats might enjoy this.

  • Quillbot: An AI paraphrasing tool to help with rewriting and enhancing text. Haven’t used this at all!

  • Copy.ai: An AI tool for generating marketing copy, blog posts, and other written content. Haven’t used this at all!

  • Jasper (formerly Jarvis): An AI writing assistant for creating content, ads, and social media posts. Haven’t used this at all!

Image AIs

  • DALL-E: An AI by OpenAI that generates images from textual descriptions. These definitely have a very recognisable style to them that you can likely spot in the wild, but they are getting better and better!

  • DeepArt: An AI that transforms photos into artworks using styles of famous artists. I haven’t used ths.

  • RunwayML: A tool for creating and experimenting with AI models, particularly for image and video generation. I haven’t used this but know many who have!

  • Pix2Pix: An AI that converts sketches into realistic images. Haven’t used this.

  • NVIDIA GauGAN: A tool that turns simple drawings into photorealistic images. Haven’t used this.
