Claude
Just like ChatGPT Claude generative AI tool is also based on reinforcement learning, it is considered different from ChatGPT and more than ChatGPT’s alternative, it is considered as its competitor.

Github Copilot
A note to my developer friends – “I sympathize with your plight of having to run codes worked upon for days just to get an error in the end because you forgot to add an asterisk or a period.”

Gemini
Post ChatGPT’s release, Google had to release their generative AI tool as well and thus Gemini, Google’s most capable AI model, came into existence.
Gemini’s functionalities are very close to that of ChatGPT yet I prefer it over the other because of the tone of responses and the overall approach of Gemini to answer the questions.
It makes things highly personalized for me and most importantly it includes mostly all the aspects of my prompts in its responses.
Key features of Gemini
- Gemini personalizes the conversations based on your prompts. For instance, if you have asked for an answer in two lines it would sun it up within two lines itself and would not ignore that aspect of your prompt.
- It can talk to you in multiple languages thus it can come in handy as a translation tool as well.

Imagen 3 – Highest quality text-to-image generator 🌅
The very newly launched Imagen 3 is one of the most capable generative AI tools in the field of image generation. The tool has been launched by Google and it is no surprise that the tool is already making its name in the market especially when it was built from ground zero, with red teaming, and SynthID.
Google proudly revealed this generative AI tool for the extensive AI capabilities it has. It can understand the prompt given by you just as a human would and can generate an image with extensive details as small as a detail of a “blue bird in the large sky.”
Not just that, the images generated are hyper-realistic and can even look like the photos captured through camera.
It generates images without any visual distortions and also minimizes the distractions within the image to make it more precise as per your prompt. Not just this, this is one of the most capable generative AI tools for rendering texts as well which most other tools struggle with.
So now you can generate personalized occasional greetings or your presentation titles.
Currently, the tool is not publicly available so you can sign up for a waiting list or exclusive access on ImageFX.
Music AI Sandbox – Create music with AI 🎵
In my opinion, this is one of the most creative generative AI tools that has been recently launched by google. The tool is capable of taking the music industry on another level as shared by musicians and song writers namely – Grammy-winning musician Wyclef Jean, Grammy-nominated songwriter Justin Tranter and electronic musician Marc Rebillet.
Google shared that this generative AI platform is inspired from their earlier music generator tool Lyria, which they refer to as their most advanced model for music generation.
Jean, Justin, and Marc have all created demo music videos with Music AI Sandbox tool and the results will blow your mind.
The tool is capable of so much from creating hip-hop music, to getting lyrics done, to creating electronic music along with creating new instrumental sections, and much more.
The tool is capable of transforming sound in new ways and instead of taking my word for it, go ahead and listen to the music generated by it.
Veo – Text to ‘quality’ video generation 📹
Another fantastic generative AI tool recently launched by Google has become the talk of the town because of its AI video generation capabilities.
Veo is that tool, and it can create high quality, longer than one minute videos with 1080 resolution in multiple cinematic and visual style effects.
What makes it Google’s most advanced video generation model is that you can generate such a quality video just through texts and add effects to it by adding words like ‘time lapse,’ ‘aerial shots,’ and more like it to your prompt.
Veo can create coherent video footage consisting of animals, people, and objects moving in a hyper-realistic manner.
They also worked with filmmaker Doland Glover to experiment with the capabilities of Veo and the results have been nothing less than commendable!
Veo is capable of understanding your prompts, the concept, and finally the vision behind them and has multiple controls for the filmmaking and video editing process as well.
It enabled masked editing while supporting consistency in video frames as well.
Veo is a generative AI platform that you need to watchout for so keep a close eye on it for Google to release.

Murf AI – Voice overs that sound like humans 🎤
“A good voice is the one, which makes an impact and is hard to not listen to.”
Says who? Well me, I say that, and I am certain you would agree considering how we all remember good voices, be it in a song or maybe of a professor, or maybe even our manager’s polite tone (highly unlikely though 😂).
So the crux is that voices are important in any industry, especially today, when audio and visual content is what is thriving the most. Be it a creator’s quirky reel or a learning video’s robotic tone – voices today hold the power to define the user’s experience.
That is why you need Murf AI, one of my personal favorite AI generative tools that convert text into speech. I have got a hoarse voice and frankly I expect no one to enjoy that but I am also in the field of content creation. Quite an irony!
That’s when I discovered Murf AI, to give a voice over to my videos. From professional sales presentations to casual podcasts, to fun social media videos, Murf is useful for all.
Why? Well here are all the reasons you need.
Key features of Murf AI
- The voiceovers Murf gives you are very realistic, and they sound very close to human voice, so say goodbye to those robotic voices that make everyone’s ear bleed and watch your content soar!
- It has 120+ text-to-speech voices to choose from and in 20+ languages in different accents.
- The voice you choose can be customized in terms of pitch, the tone, emphasis, and also the speed.
- You can integrate it with tools like Google Canva, Google Slides, and Adobe audition, and keep your work in sync.
Once you add the voice to your video, presentation, or any content, you can get a preview as well and make the changes right then and there without having to waste the time in rendering the content and then checking it for the feedback.
Pricing of Murf AI
- Free Plan – 0 USD per month
- Creator – 23 USD per user per month (billed annually)
- Business – 79 USD per user per month (billed annually)

OpenArt – Image & art generation 🎨🖌️

I am certain this will become your favorite too, especially if you are looking for a generative AI platform that is capable of incorporating even small details from your prompts into image and art generation.
Just give it a quick prompt, and get variations of images generated in no time!
Key features of OpenArt

- It has a style palette with 100s of art styles to choose from along with a prompt book to help you create precise and result oriented AI art prompts.
