5 free AI tools you can start using today

5 free AI tools you can start using today

The world of AI is full of free tools that can make your work faster and easier, but that same abundance makes it hard to know where to start. So I hand picked 5 of the best ones that are both free and great for beginners. 🧰

1. ChatGPT or Claude: writing and thinking

For writing text, summarizing, brainstorming, translating and answering questions. Just talk to it like a chat. The free version of both is plenty to start.

Our own Bright runs on this same technology. 🤖

2. Canva: design made easy

For making Instagram posts, logos, banners and presentations. It is full of ready templates and has AI tools like background removal and text generation. The free version is great to start.

3. Gemini: Google's free assistant

Google's AI assistant, free and always available. Good for searching, writing and getting help with everyday tasks, and it is integrated with Google's tools.

4. CapCut: video and reels editing

For trimming, automatic captions and effects on video, especially Instagram reels. It is free and very easy to use.

5. Microsoft Copilot: free image generation

It is both a chat assistant and can create images for you from a simple description. Perfect for when you need a specific image and don't want to pay.

You don't have to learn them all at once. Pick the one that fits your work and start with it today, the rest will come little by little. Not sure which one is right for you? Ask Bright. 🚀
