Let’s be honest, AI is growing at an insane speed.

Every day, new AI tools are being launched that can help us become more productive, and efficient, and make more money.

But most of us are just focusing on ChatGPT and Claude.

No doubt, they’re great, but there are other powerful AI tools as well that you need to try.

That’s the reason I try tons of AI tools daily and build a list of the most important ones.

Here’s the latest list of 8 (new) AI tools that will blow your mind.

Note: This post is from my newsletter, AI Made Simple, where I share real-world examples, step-by-step guides, and insights on how to use AI tools.

You can subscribe to it here.

Let’s dive in.

1. ReadPartner

As a content writer, I often read blog posts, watch YouTube videos, and go through books.

But honestly, a lot of the time, the content just isn’t good enough, and I end up wasting my time.

That’s why I started using the ReadPartner AI tool to save time.

They have a Chrome extension that gives you quick summaries of YouTube videos, blogs, and documents with just a click.

Now, before I watch a specific YouTube video or read a blog, I use ReadPartner to get a summary and check if it’s worth my time.

For example, there was a recent podcast I wanted a quick summary of, and it gave me a clear idea of what the video contained.

Most of the time, after reading the summary, I skip the blog or video entirely, saving me a couple of hours each day.

2. AgentOps

Now, I want to talk about AgentOps (built by Agency), a tool that helps developers build AI agents.

It’s too vague. Nitin, tell me clearly, what is AgentOps?

Getting started is also easy — you just need to write two lines of code.

The best part?

AgentOps can be seamlessly integrated with CrewAI, Autogen, LangChain, Cohere, LiteLLM, and MultiOn, simplifying the process of building agents.

This allows developers to use their preferred frameworks along with AgentOps’ capabilities to make their agents more efficient.

Now, let me tell you something that will blow your mind: OpenAI and Anthropic are also planning to release AI agents.

So, think about how useful a tool like AgentOps will be for developers in the future.

And I don’t think AgentOps will be a competitor — they might partner with OpenAI to help developers build better AI agents.

3. Logo Maker by Fiverr

Let’s be honest, everyone knows Fiverr — a great platform for freelancers to get paid and for businesses to hire talent.

They also offer a Fiverr Pro plan that helps businesses hire top-tier freelancers to complete work.

One can hire professionals in almost every category from graphic design, programming and tech, writing, video editing, and even AI services.

But today, I want to focus on their AI tool called Logo Maker, which lets you create your dream logo.

All you need to do is enter your brand name and slogan, and you’ll get tons of logo options based on your industry.

If you want to tweak something, their easy-to-use tools let you do that as well effortlessly.

So if you are starting a business or something similar and want a logo, you can try out Logo Maker from Fiverr.

4. NotebookLM

This is from Google, and it’s more like a personalised AI research assistant that you can use for multiple purposes, like learning, brainstorming, note-taking, and more.

It uses Gemini 1.5 Pro under the hood.

How to use it? Visit their website, create a new notebook, and add your sources for which you need to ask questions.

I have uploaded the complete PDF of Alex Hormozi’s book “$100M Leads” to know the actual lead process and ask questions related to it.

It’s going to save me a ton of time getting the needed info without reading the complete book.

In the same way, you can upload research papers, marketing plans, sales documents, and ask questions related to them to get the needed info in no time.

The best part?

It helps you generate audio overviews, like a podcast, that summarize the key topics based on your uploaded sources in AI-generated voices.

And it’s completely free to use right now.

5. Graphy AI

Another great AI tool I want to talk about is Graphy AI.

Just upload your data, and it will generate a number of charts based on that data.

You can even generate one based on what you want to visualize.

Then, when you select one of the charts, it further analyzes and simplifies it, giving you the key insights.

Other than that, you can edit the specific chart with the key insights without using any chart editor.

It’s such a great way to create specific charts based on the data, which can be used for further research, added to presentations, and even helpful for growing businesses.

6. Buildpad

If you follow me, you may know that I’m building an AI newsletter, AI Made Simple, sharing all about practical use cases of AI.

That’s where I’m getting help from Buildpad.

According to their website, it is an AI tool that helps you build a product that people actually want.

They have clearly defined 10 phases/steps that one needs to follow to build a successful business.

Each phase has a set of questions to give you a great idea of how to grow a business.

Here’s an example of the questions provided and how we can collaborate to get a better idea.

So if you are building a growing business or want to start, at least try this out; you won’t regret it.

7. hedra

Now, let’s talk about another cool AI tool called hedra.

This AI tool can help you with a lot more than you can imagine.

First of all, you can generate audio, add your own character, or generate one, and then create an awesome video from it.

You can even ‘stylize’ your character in different styles.

Here’s an example where I’m creating an ad for my new product.

As you can see, I’ve added content, selected the voice, generated a character, and then clicked on the button ‘Generate video.’

Here’s the video it generated.

Insane, right?

And the best part? You can generate five videos every day for free.

8. PandaETL

Now let me talk about the last AI tool that will blow your mind.

I am talking about PandaETL, an AI tool that can help you automate your document workflows.

Specifically, it helps you extract valuable information from any document and organises it efficiently within just 3 steps.

The best part? It’s free to use, open-source, and backed by YCombinator.

To get started, you just need to clone this repo and run it.
