AI Tools Roundup: “Smart Sidekicks and Magic Tricks” Edition

by | Dec 6, 2024

It’s time for another AI tools roundup, where we feature some of the interesting tools and techniques that we think deserve some amplification.

This week, here’s what we’re excited about.

CopilotKit

Unless you’ve been under a rock for the last half a decade, you’ve inevitably seen chatbots slapped all over websites. And, you may have tried including them in your own website or app. And, if your experience is like ours, you’ve probably been pretty frustrated by them. Trust me, we get it.

Copilots are the next evolution of chatbots, but this time, hopefully much better. With copilots, your visitors get an assistant that not only answers questions, but also can help them actually use your product or website by interacting with the site in a much more intelligent way. This can make your site or app experience much more powerful, and give your users novel ways to interact with you.

Building these isn’t easy, but CopilotKit makes it much more turnkey, offering open source and paid products that make incorporating copilots into your product a snap. We think copilots will be a bigger and bigger part of daily like, and this is a great way to get ahead of the curve.

AutoTab

While AI agents and models aren’t perfect yet, they’re getting really good, really fast. And, while you probably won’t use them to build and run an entire business for you just yet (although there are some exceptions) [TODO links], these tools are exceptional at handling lots of pesky repetitive tasks. However, figuring out how to get your AI agent to do all your work for you hasn’t been terribly straightforward.

Enter AutoTab. With AutoTab, you can simply show the AI what you want to do, by just doing it, and it’ll learn by watching you and replicate what you’re doing. It’s like having the most attentive intern in the world looking over your shoulder, learning from your every move.

If you’re looking to automate away some of that awful grunt work so you can extend your precious lunchtime (don’t worry, your secret is safe with us), AutoTab may be your best friend.

Recraft

Image editing and manipulation is a massive area of AI innovation, and never before have we had the kind of graphical power available to us that we have today. However, it’s still locked up in basic tools like OpenAI’s Dall-E, and Midjourney.

Recraft is a major new player in the space, bringing the power of image generation out into a platform dedicated just to graphic design and image editing. This means that the power to create logos, touchup photos, and generate tons of new marketing assets is no longer confined to tech-savvy AI enthusiasts or advanced graphic designers. Recraft.ai makes it accessible to everyone, whether you’re a solo entrepreneur, a small business owner, or part of a creative team.

What sets Recraft apart is its seamless integration of AI-driven image generation with practical tools for editing and designing. Unlike other platforms that specialize in either creation or modification, Recraft combines both, enabling users to iterate on designs without switching tools or losing creative momentum. Need to quickly mock up a new ad campaign? Generate multiple variations of a concept? Polish your social media graphics? Recraft has you covered.

The platform also stands out for its user-friendly interface and collaboration features. It’s not just about creating great visuals; it’s about making the creative process smoother and more enjoyable for teams and individuals alike. With Recraft, you’re not just using AI to enhance your designs—you’re empowering your creative workflow to achieve more, faster.

Whether you’re looking to build a brand from scratch, refresh your visual identity, or simply experiment with cutting-edge image tools, Recraft.ai is a tool worth exploring. It’s creativity, reimagined.
