USEFUL AI APPLICATIONS

 Artificial Intelligence Apps

This post is part of the "Living With AI" Application Series. It investigates the current state of AI and its prospects for the future. AI tools are very popular in the IT sector right now.  There are a handful apps that actually benefit from AI. Some are entirely AI-driven apps, such as ChatGPT, while others are existing apps that have effectively incorporated AI. We delve into the interesting AI environment, its advantages and disadvantages, and a look into its bright future. The IT industry is buzzing with the arrival of a slew of AI-based apps, but not all live up to the expectations. Some may potentially deplete your resources or endanger your device. Despite this, there are gems like ChatGPT and other apps that intelligently use AI to provide genuinely useful services, demonstrating how AI can dramatically improve and change our daily lives. There are some useful AI Apps which are given below:

(1) Chat GPT  

ChatGPT is a hot topic when discussing AI Apps that use GPT. It's a famous name in the world of AI, helping us to explore what AI can do. If you have an iPhone, you can download ChatGPT for free. It's a tool that can create text using GPT-3.5.  ChatGPT was not initially an app. OpenAI just began allowing iPhone users to speak with it via an App. ChatGPT was formerly only available over the web. Any "ChatGPT" App you saw in the App Store or Play Store was fake and should have been avoided. Unfortunately, an app version for Android users is not currently available. They should continue to use the ChatGPT online App for the time being.

(2) Bing

If you don't have an iPhone and want to attempt a mobile AI search, try Bing. Bing may appear to be lagging behind Google at times, but adding GPT-4 to their search engine was a wise move. (Keep in mind that Microsoft spends heavily on OpenAI.) With this, you can use AI to search the web, converse with Bing, utilize AI to produce art and experience other fun GPT-powered features.

(3) Lensa 

Lensa, a mobile App, drew notice last year with its "Magic Avatars." You upload Ten to Twenty photos of yourself to the App, and it utilizes AI to create a pretty interesting image that looks like you. However, Lensa, which has been in operation since 2018, is more than simply a stylish avatar builder. It's mostly a picture editor that employs AI to make photo editing simpler. It has tools like "Magic Retouch," which can automatically fix up a face in a photo; "Smart Eraser," which can cleverly remove things you don't want in your photos; and other tools that can do things like separating the main subject from the background or automatically matching music to a group of videos. You may still manually edit each shot if you choose. However, to discover how effectively a machine can edit your images, try the free edition of Lensa.

(4) Please Be My Eyes

Be My Eyes is a 2015 mobile application. Its primary goal is to assist the blind or individuals with low eyesight. They can use this app to contact someone who can see well and assist them with their everyday duties. The software now employs a new feature known as GPT-4. This allows users to snap a photo of their problem, and the software will try to figure out what the problem is and offer assistance. Take a snapshot of your fridge, for example, and ask the app what food you have and what you can make for supper. If the software is unable to assist, you can still video call someone who can see well. This new function, dubbed Virtual Volunteer, is still under testing, but if you're blind or have limited vision, you may give it a go by joining up on the Be My Eyes app. 

(5) Spectre 

Spectre is a popular camera App. They combined their knowledge of phone photography and AI to make it easier to snap long-exposure photos on an iPhone. This is how it works: Point your iPhone toward what you want to capture, choose the exposure time, and then snap the photo. If your iPhone is stable, the AI will begin to function. As it is exposed, it can remove people and objects from the image, make streaks of light appear longer, and soften the appearance of flowing water. The software is free to use, but it only allows for exposures of up to three seconds. This should give you a sense of how the software operates.  

(6) Boring Report: AI News

"Boring Report: News by AI" is an app that attempts to make news easy and straightforward. It employs artificial intelligence to remove any too-dramatic elements from news headlines and articles. The purpose is to provide you with as much information as possible. This app is available for iPhones, and their website is available for Android phones. But keep in mind that AI may not always get it properly. With so much misinformation out there, it's a good idea to use caution when reading these news reports.

 (7) Ittar.ai 

Otter.ai is a fantastic tool for automatically converting audio to written text. OtterPilot, a unique feature, can create a written version of both online and face-to-face meetings. It not only records what was said, but it also records who said it and when. The finished product resembles a chat message thread rather than a plain text page, making it simple to grasp. Otter.ai may be accessed through the web or as an app on your iPhone or Android device.

(8) Woebot 

Woebot functions similarly to an AI-powered digital life coach. Consider ChatGPT, but just for chatting about your feelings. Woebot allows you to discuss a wide range of emotions with it, such as tension, concern, or troubles with friends or relationships. Woebot then suggests ways to improve the situation. Woebot's creators claim that it is based on a sort of treatment known as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but they also point out that Woebot is not a genuine therapist. If you are truly struggling, you should get professional help. Woebot is merely a fun tool that you may use when you don't want to chat to people you know. Woebot is not a new invention. The New York Times reported on it during the epidemic in 2021, although it actually began in 2017.

(9) ELSA

If all you want to do is study English, ELSA (English Language Speech Assistant) is an excellent pick. ELSA, a prominent digital instructor, utilizes AI to help you learn every aspect of English. It can provide real-time feedback on how you utter words and determine your level of fluency. It provides simple guidance on how to utter words and sounds, as well as textual explanations and video training.

(10) Socratic

Socratic is unlike many other programs that employ OpenAI's GPT architecture. It is really based on Google AI and employs that technology to assist with high school and college coursework. You may use your phone's camera or microphone to ask Socratic any homework-related question, and the AI will respond. It steps through arithmetic problems and answers scientific questions with visuals and thorough text. According to the app's description, it works with algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, biology, chemistry, physics, earth and environmental sciences, US and international history, and literature. Socratic is free. There is no need to pay for a membership, and there is no content wall that you must pay to go through. Everything in the app is completely free. 

(11 )Duolingo 

Duolingo is a language learning program that helps individuals learn new languages. It's been around since 2012, long before we were talking about "large language models." Duolingo is now enhancing its AI capabilities with a new option dubbed Duolingo Max. It makes use of GPT-4 to implement two new features: Explain My Answer and Roleplay. With Explain My Response, you may use artificial intelligence to converse with Duolingo to learn why your response was correct or incorrect. The Roleplay function allows you to converse with an AI bot in the language you're learning. You'll follow along in pre-planned scenarios, gaining pointers along the way to help you understand.
