Fun, free AI tools to try
I’m not an artist. My brain just does not work that way. I tried to learn Photoshop but gave up. Now, I create fun images using AI — like the potato at the bottom of today’s newsletter.
Some AI tech is kind of freaky (like this brain-powered robot), but many of the new AI tools out there are just plain fun. The ones I found for you below are awesome to try and free!
Create custom music tracks
AI to try: Udio
Perfect for: Experimenting with song styles
Starter prompt: “Heartbreak at the movie theater, ‘80s ballad”
Just give Udio a topic for a song and a genre, and it’ll do the rest. I asked it to write a yacht rock song about a guy who loves sunsets, and it came up with two one-minute clips that were surprisingly good. You can customize the lyrics, too.
Produce quick video clips
AI to try: Invideo
Perfect for: Quick content creation
Starter prompt: “Cats on a train”
Head to Invideo to produce your very own videos, no experience needed. Your text prompts can be simple, but you’ll get better results if you include more detail.
You can add an AI narration over the top (David Attenborough’s AI voice is just too good). FYI, the free account puts a watermark on your videos, but if you’re just doing it for fun, no biggie.
Draft digital artwork
AI to try: OpenArt
Perfect for: Illustrations and animations
Starter prompt: “A lush meadow with blue skies”
OpenArt starts you off with a simple text prompt, but you can tweak it in all kinds of funky ways, from the image style to the output size. You can also upload images of your own for the AI to take its cues from and even include pictures of yourself (or friends and family) in the art.
If you’ve caught the AI creative bug and want more of the same, try the OpenArt Sketch to Image generator. It turns your original drawings into full pieces of digital art.
Fun for kids and adults: Google’s Quick, Draw! Try to get the AI to recognize your scribblings before time runs out in this next-gen Pictionary-style game.
🎨 Why did the art thief’s van run out of gas as he drove away from the museum? Because he had no Monet to buy Degas to make the van Gogh. (Love this one!)
