Looking for new generative AI tools to fuel your process with inspiration? You are in the right space to dig and discover more about new opportunities for moulding creativity.

Brainstorm with ChatGPT, our first Generative AI tool

ChatGPT is introducing a new voice feature based on a new text-to-speech model, making human-like audio the next AI addiction. For now, this feature is only available for big spender accounts, but as soon as it becomes available for a wider audience, you can use it to brainstorm with the most powerful LLM model at the moment.
Try engaging in a conversation about the artistic process, asking questions as you would do to a mentor or an oracle, pretending to talk with a brilliant, almost omniscient friend. Because conversations by voice are more fluid than written prompts over a text chat, it would be much more intuitive for you to have a back-and-forth exchange with the AI. 
Be ready to suspend your disbelief as it’s not quite as “robotic” as chatting with Siri and Alexa, and it resembles a talk with an actual human. At first, it is a very uncanny feeling. Also, Gemini by Google is soon to be launched on Bard, so stay tuned!

And when in doubt, ask Picasso with eternal.ai, our fave generative AI tool for artist

AI-powered emulations are digital characters that appear lifelike, trained to honour their legacy with all the available data about their artistic and personal life.

Fancy a mentor? Try marcusaurelius.ai, which promises to help you win your life’s challenges in a Stoic way. Up to 10 messages per day are free.
On eternal.ai, you can chat with Salvador Dalì, Pablo Picasso, and Andy Warhol about art, life and big questions. Isn’t a great new path to sparks out ideas through generative AI tools?

If you like to move it (move it)!

Among the zillions of AI motion generators available, the best in town is Runway for a very practical reason: it’s based on a “no lights, no camera, all actions” model that flattens the higher costs of professional video-making to zero. 

Plus the company aim to shape the next era of art, entertainment and human creativity. Sounds like something you want to try. If you are an early adopter and were puzzled by the glitchy outcome, now is the time to give it another try.

The new Gen-2 release, based on Latent Diffusion Models, was rolled out in June. This version fixed so many aspects that could have bugged you when generating very smooth videos that you can actually enjoy as they were short movies. 
You can also join the Runway Studios community and apply for the AIFF (AI Film Festival) with your own short film.

The quickest generative AI tools is Voxxio, sooner said than done

Just say the words and an AI app does it for you. You can storify everything in a few seconds with Voxxio: it promises to “speak your vision into existence” by turning your spoken ideas into storyboards. It’s not for you if sketching relaxes you, but it can be very useful to speed up your workflow by instantly visualising something as you speak, taking off your shoulders the burden of translating ideas into drawings.

Use Krea to sketch something very quickly and roughly, add a text prompt describing the general idea and style, and an accurate drawing or video will be generated in a matter of seconds. A great tool for making mock-ups.

Need to take voice notes of your improptu inspos? Speechnotes is the one for you. It’s a proud AI dinosaur, doing a great job since before it was cool, as it was launched almost 10 years ago), and it’s still a great option to dictate notes and automatically transcribe your audio recordings.
