7 amazing things you can do with AI

When most people think of generative AI, they immediately imagine popular chatbots such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot, which do basically the same things as the others, just in slightly different ways.

In reality, AI is capable of much more than simply reproducing text, images, and computer code. A new surge of AI tools is making it possible to do all sorts of things you might not have realized before. And to give you a glimpse of just a fraction of what’s possible, here are seven surprising tasks that AI can help you accomplish.

Building an online brand

AI

Whether you’re an aspiring writer or the creator of some handmade items, having a recognizable personal brand is essential in today’s world to get noticed and get your business off the ground. But if you don’t have the time or money to hire designers, artists, and agents to help you build your brand and spread it online, there are plenty of generative AI tools to replace them.

For example, Looka is perfect for creating branded content. You simply fill out a questionnaire about your preferred style and tone, and then the system generates logos, banners, business cards, and other social media essentials. Once the generation is complete, you can edit using artificial intelligence capabilities in the studio Canva’s Magic Studio. The online graphic design platform is generally free to use (and has great features no matter how much you pay), but if you want to take advantage of more advanced artificial intelligence tools like Dream Lab, Magic Resize, Highlights, and Enhance Voice, you’ll have to purchase a Pro subscription for $20 a month.

But you have to remember, no matter how cool your business card or banner is, no one will see it until you start promoting it all online. So until then, all their beauty is, alas, useless. But the good news is that there is a solution.

Artificial intelligence tools such as FeedHive are a boon for boosting user engagement, allowing you to repurpose your old posts, regrouping and repositioning them according to current trends and events. Ocoya, on the other hand, combines artificial intelligence for social media scheduling and artificial intelligence for the copywriter, allowing you to create and schedule social media posts a month in advance in minutes.

Hootsuite offers unrivaled social media marketing management, allowing you to see how your posts are performing across platforms and analyze across multiple individual metrics. Combined with OwlyWriter’s text generator and the ability to reply to DMs from all your platforms in a single window, Hootsuite serves as an all-in-one social media management tool.

Famous Celebrity Voices

AI

Generative AI is capable of creating more than just visual media. Artificial intelligence is getting better at creating audio content as well, especially when it comes to spoofing someone’s voice. Services like ElevenLabs offer a host of text-to-speech features that allow you to translate your talking points into different languages in real time or have past celebrities like Burt Reynolds, Judy Garland, and James Dean read PDFs to you during your morning commute to work. Alas, it’s not available in all countries.

Respeecher takes it a step further by letting you clone your voice like a celebrity’s. The audio generation model takes your speech and overlays it with the pleasant tone of Chris Farley or another licensed actor. The end result is that your words will be spoken in the voice of a celebrity. Those are the tricks.

Tooth brushing

AI

The latest generation of smart electric toothbrushes includes limited artificial intelligence capabilities. First introduced by French device maker Kolibree at CES 2017, artificial intelligence toothbrushes are quickly gaining popularity. They use a low-power embedded processor that runs deep-learning algorithms using an accelerometer that measures how often, how hard, and how fast you brush your teeth.

Based on this data, which is synchronized with relevant smartphone apps, the AI can build a picture of your oral hygiene regimen and make recommendations on how to improve your technique to more effectively fight plaque, cavities, and other dental nuisances. The apps can also create an oral map and show you which teeth you’re most likely to miss when brushing, so you can correct that little oversight.

The apps can also create a map of your mouth and show you which teeth you’re most likely to miss when brushing, so you can correct that little oversight.

You can currently find smart brushes with artificial intelligence from brands like Oral-B, Philips, and Oclean. Whether or not a toothbrush really needs artificial intelligence and whether it actually does a better job in the long run than a conventional electric model is not yet known. So it’s up to you to decide whether or not to use such a modern gadget.

Job Search

AI

In today’s fickle job market, people looking for work need to take advantage of every available opportunity they can find. If you haven’t put together a resume in a while, why suffer for it now that you can trust that job to artificial intelligence like KickResume, Teal or Resume Worded? Of course, you’ll probably have to add or change something, but it’s better to work with at least some draft than to take on a clean slate.

The same goes for writing cover letters. There’s no point in wasting time on it, especially if it later turns out that the employer didn’t even open either the resume or the letter. So you can just use the artificial intelligence features of CoverDoc.ai.

Weather Prediction

AI

It used to be that you had to stick your head out of the window to find out what the weather was like. Weather forecasting took a monumental leap forward in 1992 when the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) introduced the ENS 15-day forecasting system, which is still considered a world leader today. However, a recent artificial intelligence model from Google’s DeepMind division, called GenCast, has shown that it can outperform the performance and accuracy of the ENS system by 20 percent.

An artificial intelligence model from Google’s DeepMind division, called GenCast, has shown that it can outperform the ENS system by up to 20 percent.

Trained on 40 years of historical data from 1979 to 2018, including wind speed, temperature, pressure and humidity at various altitudes, GenCast proved to be more accurate in predicting 15-day forecasts than ENS for both daily weather conditions and extreme events. It also performed better in predicting the trajectories of hurricanes and cyclones. Unfortunately, everyone is not able to use GenCast’s features on their own, but soon everyone will be able to evaluate its prognostic advantages.

In the near future, GenCast will begin to complement existing forecasting systems. Rather than replacing them, GenCast is expected to help improve the accuracy of forecasting cold or heat waves, as well as wind strength.

Creating Your Own Perfume

AI

This one may seem niche, but it’s a good example of how AI is changing very specific industries and workflows. In addition to helping researchers discover vital drug and protein structures, AI systems like Carto have taken a huge step forward in providing a pleasant flavor to their users. Traditional methods of creating a new fragrance for a customer may require hundreds of people working together to select and blend scents from a palette of 1,000 to 2,000 options.

Carto, which is called the “ChatGPT of Fragrance,” can review up to 5,000 fragrances from its Fragrance Value Map and immediately create samples of new ones with a separate robot. These are not off-the-shelf fragrances, but help perfumers quickly iterate new ideas, themes and customer feedback.

Home Design and Interiors

AI

If you’re moving to a new place or are bored with your existing home, artificial intelligence can help you visualize a new design and interior. Generative tools like HomeVisualizerAI can help. This app takes the reference you’ve chosen, along with a text prompt describing the new atmosphere in the room, and generates an image of what it will look like.

II also offers a “fashion to style” feature that overlays popular home decor motifs from Pinterest onto a reference and uses Google Lens to help you shop for items in the render. You can try three renders for free before the $12-a-month subscription kicks in.

I’m not sure how much you’ll get out of it.
