Highlights
- These new AI apps for content creators are worth exploring with remarkable ability to interact in conversational language.
- A technique called "transfer learning" allows AI apps to be continuously fine-tuned with both supervised (where humans help it) and “reinforcement learning” (where machines are rewarded for good behaviour).
So ChatGPT is all the rage right now. It turns out it’s just one of about 150 AI-driven tools available for your use.
Due to its near-magical speed at throwing up “facts” (with commands like “write an 900-word essay on….”) and computer codes in real time, however, it’s easy to see why ChatGPT (which stands for Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) has drawn many. And yes, it’s smart enough to pass prestigious graduate-level exams in law (C+) and business (B to B-).
One downside: the sudden influx of users often overloads its servers. Here’s another: the “facts” aren’t actually 100% fool-proof, as pointed out by a number of users. Well, not yet.
Chat GPT is one example of an on-going expansion of AI. Other AI tools are now available for you and equally worth exploring. Following are the top 10 on our list:
(1) Midjourney:
- Founder: David Holz (co-founder of Leap Motion)
- Date launched: July 12, 2022 (open beta)

(8) NeevaAI
- Founder: Sridhar Ramaswamy (ex-Google)
- Date launched: June 2021
- https://neeva.com
What it can do: Ad-free search engine. It’s an ad-free search engine that markets itself privacy friendly, it adds an AI feature that will answer user queries with conversational text, rather than lists of links.

(10) GPT-J
- Founder: Ben Wang and Aran Komatsuzaki (Eleuther AI)
- Date launched: December 2022
- https://www.forefront.ai/
What it can do: Code generation, chatbot, entity extraction, content writing. GPT-J can be used to generate code, that is of very high quality. GPT-J is a 6-billion parameter model released by a group called Eleuther AI. The goal of the group is to democratise huge language models, so they relased GPT-J and it is currently publicly available. In terms of code generation tasks GPT-J is said to outperforms GPT3, which was released by openAI with 175 billion parameters, but is not openly available at the time.
