TESTAS (HYBRID)

I think a few years ago, “AI” used to sound like something out of a sci-fi movie. And now it’s casually helping us plan dinners, write emails, and even choose the right outfit. You don’t need to be very tech-savvy to take advantage of AI tools. You can use writing assistants, generate images with easy-to-use picture makers, and even create realistic videos with a few button clicks. After some testing and reviewing, here are some of the tools I found the most useful for everyday tasks as a creator.

1. Writing assistants

Whether you need to create an email, a professional-looking article, or just a blog post, tools like ChatGPT or Claude AI help you create ready-to-use content pieces. From my experience, these tools work pretty well; you just need a very detailed prompt to prepare. After several tries, you will see that it doesn’t take a lot work to do in order to get pretty decent results, which can be easily adapted and used for your creative writings.

2. Chatbots

You’ve probably interacted with a chatbot before – maybe while booking a flight or checking your bank balance. These little helpers are getting smarter every day. Tools like Replika and Google’s Bard aren’t just for customer support anymore. They can help you practice a new language, get quick answers to questions, or even track your mood and offer mental health support.

AI chatbots are also being used in apps like Cleo, which offers friendly, no-nonsense financial advice in a chat-like format. Think of it as a sassy money coach in your pocket.

3. Design tools

Graphic design used to be a skill you needed training (and expensive software) for. But tools like Canva’s AI Magic Studio and Adobe Firefly are changing the game. Need a birthday invite, a social media post, or even a logo for your side hustle? Just describe what you’re looking for and AI will generate it – colors, fonts, images and all.

Even for people with zero design experience, these platforms offer drag-and-drop ease and smart design suggestions that save you hours. It’s creativity on autopilot.

Final thoughts

AI isn’t just for tech-savvy users or giant companies – it’s for all of us. Whether you’re trying to write smarter, manage your time better, or simply make your life a little easier, there’s likely an AI tool that can help. And the best part? Most of them are either free or affordable. So go ahead — let the robots do the boring stuff while you focus on living a little more.
