Hey, everyone!
How are you doing?
My name is Shu.
There are lots of new AI tools coming out every day.
But here’s the list of my favourite 7 AI tools that will blow your mind.
Keep watching until the end because the last one is wild.
The first one is Rewind AI.
When I found this app for the first time, I thought it was awesome and creepy at the
same time.
Essentially, it records everything you do on your computer.
That includes things you see, hear and say.
And Rewind makes it all searchable which is why they call it the search engine for your
life.
I had some obvious concerns, especially about privacy and storage, but apparently, your
data is only stored locally and nowhere else, which means only you have access to it.
And also, another concern was that it would take up too much space on my computer.
I mean this app records everything, so how long does it take until it uses up all of
my storage?
But they have this crazy technology that compresses your data up to 3,750 times.
So they claim even if you have only super low storage, it can store years of recordings.
After learning this, I thought I’d give it a try, and it’s been really cool.
So for example, whenever I’m trying to remember something I saw on the internet, I can use
Rewind to go back in time or search for keywords to find the thing I’m looking for.
Similarly, now I can feel safe closing all the tabs because I know I can definitely find
them later if I need them.
Also, it can record your meetings too.
So if I want to see a slide or something during a call again, I can find it too.
You can see the transcription of meetings too although it might be great if you have
a bit of an accent like me.
But now I don’t have to worry so much about spacing out in a meeting.
But I just noticed that it does use lots of space after all.
I see that they say it usually uses 14 GB per month to store all the records.
So, perhaps it’s not a good idea to keep them forever.
Still, it’s a really cool app.
If you’re a student, academic or researcher, you will love the next one.
Genie is an AI-powered research assistant.
You can upload academic papers or articles from the Internet, then Genie will analyse
them and extract keywords and summaries of each section.
You can even add these summaries to your note where you can organise your ideas.
Or you can even make highlights and extract them into the note.
What’s great about this is that there’s a link to the original source so you can always
come back to where it came from.
Also, they have more advanced AI features where you can ask AI questions about the documents
you uploaded and it will give you an answer which might be able to help you process reading
faster.
So if you have to do lots of reading for your school or work, this is going to save you
lots of time.
Also if you’re a creator or a writer, this is definitely going to help your research
process.
Speaking of research, Elicit is another great tool for students and academics or anyone
who’s curious about some topics.
Elicit uses language models GPT-3 to make finding information about a topic easier and
faster.
So if you ask a question, Elicit will show relevant papers and summaries of key information
about those papers.
And even if your search terms don’t match keywords, it can find relevant papers with
similar keywords.
This is great when you do the initial search when you don’t really know what keywords
to search for.
Plus, you get to see the abstract summary of each paper so you can see the main points
of the paper.
I really wish I had this tool when I was in university!
Let’s move away a little bit from researching.
The next one is called Runway, and it’s great for creatives and anyone who wants to
start making videos or just wants to play with AI.
I have seen lots of AI tools that can edit photos or make AI avatars but haven’t seen
many that can work with videos.
Runway offers a wide range of creative tools that includes removing background from video,
removing objects and people from video, colour grading videos using just words, turning any
video into super slow-mo, blurring face, and a lot more.
I haven't tried all of them yet, but even the basic ones like cleaning audio are super
useful to make Youtube videos like this.
The development of AI in video editing is great because now almost anybody can start
making professional-looking videos.
Of course, these tools are not perfect yet, but they will give you a kickstart.
Speaking of making videos, I make lots of tutorials, which can be tough.
But Scribe is something that makes that process much easier.
They’re kindly sponsoring this video.
Essentially, Scribe is a Chrome extension that makes it effortless to create step-by-step
guides.
All you have to do is to press record and do the steps you want to demonstrate.
Once you’re done, Scribe will automatically generate an easy-to-understand guide based
on the recording.
And you can customise the title, description as well as details of each step like tips
and alerts.
I like Scribe because it can be super hard to show someone how to do certain things.
But this makes that process much easier.
If you want to try Scribe, you can download it from the link in the description.
It’s free!
Alright, let’s get back to my favourite AI tools.
This one is one of my absolute favourite note apps using AI.
I like it so much that I already made two videos about it.
And that is Napkin.
I’d say it is the most calming and relaxing note app to use.
Basically, its AI analyses all of your notes and presents your thoughts alongside relevant
ideas.
The reason why I love it is that I always find surprising connections between different
notes which helps me get inspiration for my writing and videos.
Or just browsing through your past thoughts feels so nice.
It helps you remember what you learned before and get inspired.
If you want to see a more detailed review of Napkin, check out my previous videos.
This is a little different from the other ones on the list.
It’s called My Heritage, and it’s really fun!
It kind of became viral on the Internet recently.
There are a few things you can do here like analysing your DNA and creating your family
tree.
But I think lots of people also use it to animate photos, especially old photos of their
ancestors or their loved ones.
I only tried it with my own photos, which was kind of weird, to be honest.
But when used in the right contexts, I guess it can be even touching.
Alright, this is the last one and maybe the wildest one of all!
Personal AI is an app that lets you create your own AI.
At first, when you start using it, you’re given like a baby AI who knows nothing.
So you feed it the information that you want it to know.
So for example, if you want to create an AI version of yourself, you tell it things like
your favourite movies or like things you learned or read.
Then, over time it will become like you.
And you can even ask it some questions.
But you don’t necessarily have to think of it as an AI version of you.
It can be like your AI assistant who remembers things for you, which is actually how I’ve
been using it.
So whenever I come across things I want to remember, I tell it.
That way, I can always ask the AI about that thing if I forgot.
You can imagine that it’s kind of like the ultimate knowledge base that you can talk
to or communicate with.
Or maybe I can say that you’re building your own version of chatGPT.
It’s crazy because it’s nothing like typical personal knowledge management tools like Evernote
and Obsidian.
It’s very futuristic.
But that’s not the only use case.
When you feed enough information to the AI, maybe it can do some work for you.
For example, if you’re an author, you can feed all the things you’ve written in your
book to your AI.
Then share access to the AI with your readers.
They can now ask it any question about the book.
It’s like AMA, but you don’t have to do it yourself.
Alright, so that was the list of my favourite AI tools.
Honestly, there are even more AI tools I couldn’t include in this video, so I’m planning to
make another one.

And also don’t forget to check out Scribe.
It’s a great tool and also helps support this channel.
