A few weeks ago, I read a quote that really stuck with me,

“I want A.I. to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for A.I. to do my art and writing so that I can do the dishes.”

This perfectly mimics how I feel about A.I. And, how it should be used moving forward.

To save us time and money— to spend it doing what we love.

Here is a curated list of A.I. tools to help you save time and money in 2025.

1. Logo generators

In the past, starting a business involved piles of paperwork, strategy sessions, and a sizeable financial investment.

Today, it’s as easy as creating a logo, website, and/or posting to social media. And, thanks to A.I., high-quality tools have never been more accessible. Not to mention, user friendly.

Here are some of the best A.I. logo generators on the market…

1. Fiverr:

Fiverr is best known as a hub for finding high-quality freelance talent. But, its A.I. logo maker puts the power in your hands, combining your style with freelance talent on Fiverr.

With it, you can generate hundreds of professional logo mockups, for free, in a matter of seconds. While you must pay to download the logo designs, investing in something as crucial as a clean brand identity can make all the difference in growing a loyal audience.

You can also integrate your logos into custom social media and branding kits to help your brand stand out from the crowd.

2. Canva:

Canva is an all-in-one graphic design tool used by industry experts across all niches. Its A.I. logo generator lets you create professional-looking logos in a matter of seconds.

2. Resume writing tools

Back when I worked as a full-time freelance writer, one of my most popular gigs was resume writing.

Although I find the process fun, I’ve learned it can feel like pulling teeth for most people. So, having A.I. compile, format, and highlight your work history is a huge time saver.

Allowing you to spend more time applying for jobs.

Here are some of the best A.I. resume writing tools on the market…

#1. Kickresume:

Kickresume utilizes OpenAI’s GPT 4 model to generate well-structured resumes and CVs — without sounding robotic. Simply enter your work history and a description of your tasks to get started.

#2. Teal:

Teal’s all-in-one set of resume tools allows you to start from scratch or optimize your existing resume. And, its A.I. technology allows you to optimize your resume to match specific job descriptions.

#3. Myperfectresume:

Myperfectresume has been a longstanding figure of the resume-writing world for years, with 12,000+ Trustpilot reviews.

With it, you can create new resumes, upload existing resumes, and highlight your specific skills/experience with tailored A.I.-powered suggestions.

All of this will help your resume be seen by more employers.

But, here’s the thing…

… the truth is, communication is nuanced. And, to make the best possible first impression, it’s always best to defer to the professionals. In other words, human beings.

Fiverr is one of the best places to hire professional editors and resume experts to help you land your dream job. Use code ‘HUDSON’ at checkout to save 10% on your first or next order.

3. Headshot generators

Whether you want to create content online, start a small business, or apply for your dream job, having professional pictures is a must in 2025.

The problem is, not all pictures were created equal.

If you cringe at the idea of going out to take new pictures… well, you’re not alone. Thankfully, A.I. can save you the trouble, by generating professional-looking headshots using the photos you already have.

Here are some of the best A.I. headshot generation tools on the market…

#1. The Multiverse AI:

The Multiverse is one of the most popular headshot generators on the market, especially for professional headshots. Trusted by Google, Forbes, and Airbnb, The Multiverse allows you to create custom A.I. headshots by uploading a series of selfies from your camera roll.

#2. Portraitpal:

Portraitpal specializes in taking your existing photos and turning them into “uncannily realistic professional AI headshots”. Portraitpal uses Stable Diffusion as its baseline model allowing for fine-tuning and variable control.

In plain speak, it can turn your not-so-great pictures into high-quality, professional headshots.

#3. BetterPic:

BetterPic allows you to showcase your favourite photos in 4K resolution. And, its A.I. Studio even lets you adjust clothing, skin tone, and edit your background to put your best face forward.

Final thoughts: any A.I. tool you’ll ever need.

As the digital landscape continues to expand, so does your opportunity to utilize them.
