7 Best Free AI Apps for Android: AI Assistant, Photo Editor, and More

Quick Tips

• Between Gemini and Google Assistant, Google’s offerings are pretty decent and useful for your daily needs and tasks.
• ChatGPT brought the AI revolution to the forefront and is still holding strong and improving every passing day.
• Bing employs a voice feature and is powered by GPT 4. A deadly combination for anyone who wants to make their life easier with AI.

1. Google Assistant – Most Popular AI App

If you’re using an Android device, chances are you’ve heard of Google Assistant, even more so now, with Gemini integration. One of the most popular AI apps, Google Assitant, lets you schedule events, start timers, look up information, and more with the help of simple voice or written commands.

Using Google Assistant, you can set up custom routines that can help trigger tasks with your commands or use the already available modes, like driving mode, to get things done. When enabled, you can use the ‘OK Google’ command to wake up Google Assistant. You can also get buying recommendations when looking up products.

While Google Assitant is a great tool for increasing productivity, there have been times when the app suddenly started without the OK Google prompt. Additionally, there have been privacy concerns over Google’s not-so-transparent views regarding the collection of user data.

2. ChatGPT – Best AI Chatbot App for Android

There are thousands of AI chatbot apps available on the Play Store, but we’re sure you don’t need to look beyond the official ChatGPT app for Android. It puts in a brilliant mobile user interface for the powerful large language model, which we’re all aware of at this point.

The app has a simple user interface, and once you sign in, you can ask your queries. The latest version of the app also allows you to dictate your query into the chat window. You can also access your previous conversation threads in the history tab. Furthermore, you can add custom Instructions and provide additional data to the chatbot for more accurate and relevant responses.

The free version of ChatGPT provides answers using GPT 3.5, and a subscription to ChatGPT Plus can provide access to GPT 4 among all the other new multi-modal features. However, if you want to use GPT 4 for free, you can look at the next app on this list.

Price: Free; ChatGPT Plus: $20 per month

3. Bing – Best AI Search Engine App and Use GPT 4 on Android

Bing has been slowly becoming the go-to app for various reasons. Using the voice feature, you can look for things to purchase, dining recommendations, and even ask Bing to recite a poem. Once the command is given, Bing’s ChatGPT-powered AI engine combs through the search results to give the best and most accurate answers to your queries.

More importantly, Bing offers GPT 4 for free, which is otherwise exclusive to ChatGPT Plus only. You can choose what style of response you want from Bing. While the conversation style gives you detailed answers, it becomes a little too detailed when Bing starts reciting the lyrics to the song you searched for.

A precise style will get you more to-the-point answers with surprisingly good accuracy. You can also tap on the answer sources for more detailed information. However, you must be logged in to your Microsoft account to use Bing’s AI engine.

When using voice commands, we found that Bing wasn’t always accurate in picking up responses. Additionally, when using the conversation style, Bing sometimes kept speaking despite tapping the stop button. The app also had issues executing commands like ‘set up a timer’ even when all the permissions were enabled.

4. ELSA Speak – Best AI App to Learn English

ELSA Speak is one of the best apps for learning and improving your English speaking skills. The app has comprehensive lesson plans to help you practice and prepare for different situations.

It uses AI to analyze your speech and pronunciation patterns to give you real-time results. Lessons use a conversational tone to help users get a more practical learning experience.

The ELSA Speak app also helps judge your overall progress with your current lesson plan. It uses learning graphs and gives you an overall score of 100% for every completed lesson.

While testing, we found the app pretty accurate in understanding speech feedback. Even with the free plan, you can access certain customized lesson plans. However, the free plan is more suited for the beginner level due to the limited number of courses and a cap on the number of lessons you can access daily.

Additionally, topics like real-life conversations and video lessons are only available to paid users. While you can use the app without creating an account, you will need one to save your progress.

Price: Free plan; Subscription: $11.99/month onwards (7-day free trial)

5. FaceApp – Best AI Photo Editor App

FaceApp has become a viral sensation with its ability to alter photos using AI. It has different filters that can help you flip the gender, add age, and completely change the look of a picture, among other things. The results are hyper-realistic pictures that can sometimes pass off as originals.

The app uses its AI-powered engine to study the uploaded picture. Then, once the filter is applied, it molds it according to the characteristics of the picture. This allows users to completely change hairstyles, add age, alter eye color, change skin texture, etc., by applying a filter.

While FaceApp is a brilliant editing tool, it has been constantly surrounded by data privacy concerns, mostly due to its complicated privacy policy. Additionally, you must go for the paid pro version to access its entire library of filters and get the option to remove watermarks from the image edited using the app.

Price: Free plan; Subscription: $7.49/month onwards

6. Youper – Best AI-Powered App for Therapy

Youper uses a combination of AI and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to gauge your mood patterns and suggest activities. Depending on your mood progression, you can check in to the app multiple times a day. Youper will then use this data to compile an insight report to get a closer look into your mood patterns over time.

Once you click on a new activity, it will ask if you have any previous experience to better understand your needs. Additionally, if you try leaving any activity halfway through, it will suggest alternative options to elevate your mood. It is one of the best apps for mental health.

The app is also powered by an AI chatbot that provides accurate responses to your queries and input. The Youper interface, however, is not very user-friendly. It constantly redirects you to different pages within the app, even when you click on a menu option.

Further, progress reports and several therapy activities are only available to paid users. Additionally, once you’ve started a check-in task, you cannot go back or exit the window without completing it.

Price: Free plan; Subscription: $69.99/year onwards (7-day free trial)

7. Otter AI – AI Audio Transcription App for Meetings

Otter is an AI-powered transcription and note-taking app that helps capture and organize your thoughts, conversations, and ideas. It can transcribe the audio in real-time, so you can focus on the discussion and take notes later. You can sync your calendars with Otter, and the tool will automatically join your meetings.

There’s a feature called Otter Chat, which lets you talk to a bot about everything happening in a conversation being recorded in a meeting.

Otter also supports importing audio files and automatically captures slides from presentations. Additionally, it can generate summaries of your recordings and identify key speakers. Otter AI can automatically identify different speakers in a conversation, making it easy to follow who is saying what.
