AI Tools That Actually Work - 20 AI tools that you can use now

ChatGPT

ChatGPT may sound like an obvious recommendation, but it still has many nonobvious uses-like helping to bridge language barriers. That's what Florida-based jewelry company Artizan Joyeria uses it for:The company's offshore customer service employees, who aren't native English speakers, "can now produce higher-quality written content in all forms, such as presentations and emails addressed to customers," says Sasha Slimak, the company's COO.

Microsoft Copilot

Microsoft's AI tool Copilot has a range of features across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more. Chad Stark especially loves using Copilot in Teams, Microsoft's video meetings platform. Stark is the CEO of Stark, a luxury carpet and rug brand, and he has Copilot summarize important meetings and send the summary to all participants. "You could prompt ChatGPT to do the same, but because Copilot is integrated with Teams and our emails, it saves us the extra step," says Stark.

Photoshop's Generative AI Photoshop's

AI tools can help in big and small ways-by, say, creating new backgrounds for images, or quickly fixing tiny details. Video editor Poll Bravo uses it a lot in his work for Johns Hopkins Hospital. For example, if he shoots an interview against a window, and then notices a distracting reflection in the window during postproduction, he can just take it out. "Photoshop's Generative AI also works very well to create depth in the frame background," Bravo says. "This gives you a lot of flexibility."
