Full transcript

1. 0:00Hey everyone, Kevin here. Today, we're going to  look at seven of the best AI tools and you could
2. 0:07try them all for free. You can automate repetitive  tasks, find information more effectively,
3. 0:13cut down on the time it takes you to respond to  email and so many more. Let's dive in. First up,
4. 0:20I partnered with Zapier to show you how you can  eliminate all of those annoying and repetitive
5. 0:26tasks by automating them. That way, you could  focus on what really matters like, I don't know,
6. 0:33baking cookies. Zapier is free to start using.  I have a Google feedback form that customers at
7. 0:39the Kevin Cookie Company can fill out. Once a  customer submits their feedback, it'd be nice
8. 0:45if they would receive a personalized response,  preferably without involving me. Sign into Zapier,
9. 0:53then type in what you would like to automate and  all the different apps that you use. I'll type in
10. 0:59my workflow. Zapier suggests a Zap, that's their  word for workflow automation. Then you can click
11. 1:06in and customize the details for each step in  the process. Now, whenever new feedback comes in,
12. 1:11Zapier automatically sends a personalized response  to the customer. This is just one example. You can
13. 1:17connect thousands of different apps like Gmail,  Notion, Excel, Slack, and the list goes on and
14. 1:23on. If you want a step-by-step guide that shows  you how to get started with and how to use Zapier,
15. 1:29check out the video link in the description.  At number two, we have Google AI Studio. This
16. 1:36AI can analyze your screen in real time and  provide step-by-step guidance on various tasks.
17. 1:42For example, let's say you're not sure how to do  something in Microsoft Excel. AI Studio can help
18. 1:49you with that. On the left, click on stream real  time. Then at the bottom, share your microphone
19. 1:55and your screen. Now, you could start asking  questions. Yeah, I'd like to see the units sold
20. 2:02by location. How do I do that? You can use a pivot  table to see the units sold by location. First,
21. 2:08select all of your data, including headers. Then  go to the insert tab on the ribbon and click on
22. 2:14pivot table. In the window that appears, click  okay to create a pivot table on a new sheet. Then
23. 2:20in the pivot table build- Hold on a second. Okay,  so I have my new sheet, I have my pivot table.
24. 2:25What do I do here? Okay, now in the pivot table  fields pane, you should drag location to the rows
25. 2:30area and units sold to the values area. This will  show you the total units sold for each location
26. 2:36in your pivot table. Nice, that is incredible.  This shows the true power of AI and how it can
27. 2:42help us all learn. To take it to the next level,  it'd be nice if it could actually just do the
28. 2:47steps on your screen with you in charge. I don't  know, maybe next month? Next, we have ChatGPT,
29. 2:54one of the most advanced and popular AI assistants  available. Chances are you've used it before,
30. 3:00but you may not know about all of the advanced  functionality. Let's take a look. First, click
31. 3:06this icon to open something called the Canvas.  This is an interactive space where you can create,
32. 3:12edit, and iterate on long form text or code. You  can highlight one paragraph to request changes
33. 3:18to just that paragraph. You can even view version  history, so you know what ChatGPT has changed. You
34. 3:25can click on this icon to activate a reasoning  model. This is ideal for logical thinking,
35. 3:31complex problem solving and multi-step analysis.  For example, how many cookies should I bake in
36. 3:37December given this sales data from past years?  You can also set up what's called a project. You
37. 3:44can upload documents and provide context, and  it'll use all of that when responding to your
38. 3:50prompts. There's also multi-modal support or image  and file analysis. As an example, I can upload
39. 3:57this image of the Kevin Cookie Company retail  locations around the world. And when I ask it
40. 4:02to give me a list of all the locations, it's able  to do that. Lastly, there's a new offering called
41. 4:07Sora, which can generate high quality videos from  text descriptions. It does a lot more than just
42. 4:13chat. Maybe it should be called everything  GPT. Fourth, we have a tool called Udio,
43. 4:20which is an AI powered music creation tool.  With it, you can pull together songs like these.
44. 4:33You simply describe the song that you would  like to create. Of course, the more descriptive,
45. 4:39the better. It then generates two songs. You can  also write the lyrics yourself and call out the
46. 4:45structure of the song, like the verse, the chorus,  the bridge or the hook. You can also customize
47. 4:51the length and also the prompt strength. Once  you're happy with your song, you can download it
48. 4:56and share it with the world. At number five, we  have ElevenLabs. ElevenLabs produces incredibly
49. 5:04realistic AI voices that sound just like real  people. Chances are you've heard many of their
50. 5:09voices before, whether on a YouTube video or  maybe even on a commercial. Once you sign in,
51. 5:15on the left-hand side, click on Text to Speech.  Let's paste in some text. On the right, you can
52. 5:21change the voice, set the model as well as adjust  various settings. Then click on Generate. Hello,
53. 5:28you should buy cookies at the Kevin Cookie  Company. Not bad. They also offer a number of
54. 5:33other tools like Voice Changer. You can use AI to  make sound effects, and they even have an option
55. 5:39to dub or translate audio into other languages.  Next, we have Perplexity AI. If you feel like
56. 5:47Google's search quality has gone downhill,  Perplexity may be the search engine that you've
57. 5:53been looking for. In the center of the screen, you  have a text box where you can enter in your prompt
58. 5:59or your query. One of the big differentiators  from Google, you can set where you want Perplexity
59. 6:05to source its answer from, the web, academia, or  social, which basically means Reddit. I'll turn on
60. 6:12Academic. Perplexity provides the answer as well  as the sources. You'll notice citations throughout
61. 6:18the answer, all from published scientific papers.  You can click on any source to browse the original
62. 6:24paper. You can also remove a source and then rerun  your search. It's really perfect for research,
63. 6:31fact checking, and AI powered insights, all  while minimizing possible hallucinations.
64. 6:37It's free to use and there's also a paid plan  that gives you even more functionality. Last,
65. 6:42if you're a content creator like me, Descript is  a game changer for editing videos and podcasts.
66. 6:49You could edit your video just like you would  a Word document. For example, these dots let me
67. 6:54know that there's a long pause. I can simply click  on them and then delete the pause and that cuts
68. 7:00them out of the video. You can also add new text  or voice using something called overdub. You'll
69. 7:06need to train the AI to use your voice. Then it'll  generate the new speech using your voice. There
70. 7:13are also lots of other AI features that'll make  your video even more professional. For example,
71. 7:18Studio Sound will improve the sound quality  and make it more consistent. You can separate
72. 7:24yourself from the background just by clicking on  a button. You can automatically generate captions
73. 7:30for your video in English and even in other  languages. This is one of the best AI tools
74. 7:36for streamlining content production and making  video editing as easy as editing a document. Let
75. 7:43me know which one's your favorite. Please consider  subscribing and I’ll see you in the next video.
