There are a maddening number of tools that have popped up over the past year. We analysed the releases of Product Hunt on March 19, 2023 and there were 42 new AI products launched that day. These are 16 of the leading products you should know about.
Claude
The 'ethical' LLM to compete with OpenAI. Has ~GPT3.5 level capabilities. In March 2023 took in an additional $300m in funding.
GPT4
The tool that made everyone realise that the disruption was real. The most powerful text generation tool currently on the market.
Wordtune
The promise to be able to 'say exactly what you mean through clear, compelling and authentic writing.' Working with Amazon.
Designer
Image, video and caption generator using natural language. Lots of quite powerful tools that could be integrated into campaigns.
Firefly
Image generation using natural language and Adobe's 30 years of design tool knowledge. Interesting for future.
MagicWrite
Image and text generator to create 'your first-draft fast'. Canva is trying to defend their position as go-to for social image creation.
Bard
Google's attempt to try and catch up with Microsoft and OpenAI. Google are deliberately moving slowly to try and avoid halluncinations.
BingAI
Microsoft's big play to wrest control of the search market back towards Bing. Better than Clippy. Can give 'interesting' results.
Perplexity
Took on Series B funding in Jan 2024 and aiming to topple Google
Amazon Bedrock
Bridge to a number of other systems - such as Claude, Jurassic-2 and Stable Diffusion - it's the first serious challenger to the suite of products that OpenAI has built.
OpenAI APIs
A platform that gives access to different OpenAI models including GPT3.5, GPT4 (waitlist), Whisper, Dall-E 2 etc.
Dall-E 2
AI system that can create realistic photos and illustrations from a description in natural language. Gets expensive quickly.
Midjourney
Create product concepts or images from text prompts. Good for producing digital fantasy art, less good for other visual types.
Stable Diffusion
Open-source generative art creator. Very flexible with large community around it. Now within Amazon Bedrock.
