There has been a meteoric rise in the development of Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning in the last few years. Standalone AI products have now reached the masses, and a lot of them are being integrated into everyday lives. We were quite tempted to explore these tools, so we compiled an article showcasing some of the best free AI tools to use online.
The best part about these free AI tools is that you can use them straight from your web browser. We also like how well these apps are designed, as they prioritize a neat user interface along with maximizing the ease of use. So let’s begin, and explore the world of AI!
1. Dall-E 2: AI Image Generator
Dall-E 2 is a free-to-use, open-source image generator that uses artificial intelligence. It’s quite simple to use – you type what you want, and Dall-E 2 takes care of the rest to generate an image that you can download. Even when you expand your prompts into more detail and add specifics as you wish, Dall-E 2 still manages to generate a stunning image.
We’ve extensively used this tool, and we even wrote an article about making the best use of Dall-E 2 to create amazing results.
Dall-E 2 can be used for free through credits. You get 50 credits for free after signing up and are rewarded with 15 credits every month. However, you can purchase additional 115 credits for $15.
Tip: Here’s how you can save Dall-E 2 images without a watermark.
2. ChatGPT With GPT3 and GPT4: An Ask-It-All AI Chatbot
When this tool went public, we had a lot of emotions running through our heads. We were at first amazed, then a bit terrified at its capabilities. You ask ChatGPT anything in terms of text prompts, (and the word anything is truly boundless in this context) and it will provide you with answers.
Be it a complex coding query, a recipe for the dish that you liked at the restaurant the other day, or a script for a short movie – it gets it done. No wonder ChatGPT has been compared with Google Search since its release.
Based on the language model developed by OpenAI called GPT, it uses a deep learning-based human language model to generate human-like responses. This model was fine-tuned with a user interface to create ChatGPT and was released for public use.
It is currently free for use, although OpenAI has a paid version for the same, with additional features. Moreover, you might face occasional network errors on ChatGPT but hopefully, its developers will soon fix the issue.
3. Microsoft Bing: Use GPT 4 for Free in a Chatbot
Microsoft poured in an investment to OpenAI to use GPT in their search engine, and try to offer a fair competition to Google. If you are using Microsoft Edge, you can use the Bing AI chatbot to help you with almost any task. Bing AI contains the same GPT model as ChatGPT, however, it lets you use the more advanced GPT 4 model for free, unlike ChatGPT which requires the paid ChatGPT Plus version.
Furthermore, Bing AI chat also accesses the internet to provide you with a more relevant response. This means that it can bypass ChatGPT’s limitation of data access only until September 2021. Microsoft also calls Bing chat your ‘AI Co-Pilot’ and that is quite true – it does help you browse the web in a more efficient manner. Bing chat also offers an interactive experience, providing you with sources to learn more about its response, and also lets you modify the conversation style of the chatbot. A downside though, is that you can only use Bing AI in Microsoft Edge.
However, Microsoft has been expanding it to other browsers like Chrome and Safari for select users, and we’ll have to wait until a public rollout.
Price: Free
4. Google Bard: Use Google’s AI Chatbot
When Microsoft Entered the battlefield with its investment in OpenAI and integrating GPT into Bing, it was unlikely that Google kept quiet. Google’s response was Bard – a chatbot that is powered by their large language model called PaLM. The biggest advantage of Google Bard over ChatGPT is that it can use the Google Search database to provide you with results that are up to date.
You can use Google Bard to help you with anything, and it’ll try its best to do so. From helping you with writing content to helping you solve a coding problem. A recent update to Google Bard has added an extra degree of refinement, that responds with a better accuracy. However, the GPT model has been trained on more parameters, and it still is the most powerful large language model out there. Google Bard is fully free to use on your web browser, check it out from the link below.
